Okay, don’t hate me but I honestly didn’t know that Johnny Rotten is still alive? But he is – he’s alive and well and living in Venice Beach, California. He lives with squirrels, which is pretty on-brand? Rotten apparently has a book coming out called I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right and to promote the book, he chatted about how he has squirrel friends and they’ve brought fleas into his house, and those fleas are biting his groin.
Never mind the b******ks… Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten has suffered a flea bite on his manhood. The punk rocker befriended a bunch of squirrels at his Venice Beach home in Los Angeles – but their parasites have started attacking him.
Johnny, 64, said: “I looked down there this morning at my willy and there’s a f***ing flea bite on it. And there’s another one on the inside of my leg.”
The Anarchy In The UK singer has been lathering himself in Vaseline to ease his discomfort.
He said: “The bites, wow, last night was murder because of it. The itching too. It’s such a poxy thing to get caught out on. The only way around it, because I’m not going to blame the poor little squirrels, is to Vaseline my legs. I just hope they don’t get the wrong idea.”
In his new book, I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right, he tells how he lets the rodents come into his home. But he added: “I’m determined to keep my squirrel friends independent, y’know. There’s no petting. If they want to nudge up that’s fine, but I know it’s for a peanut and not because I’m lovely.”
Rotten, real name John Lydon, said he spent a fortune on having bags of unsalted shelled peanuts delivered to his home just for the squirrels. The former music hellraiser added: “Wow, do they love me for that. I’m definitely spending a lot of money on these little f***ers.”
I know we’re all starving for just random, fun, non-controversial gossip, but this was kind of a pleasant story, right? Johnny Rotten, infamous badass anarchist, lives a quiet life in Venice Beach and buys bags of peanuts for his squirrel friends. He doesn’t harm the squirrels or try to pet them, and he takes care of the flea bites on his dong by putting Vaseline on them. That’s it. That’s the gossip.

didnt he hang out in a window, in a maga shirt? i was under the impression this dude was Not Good??
He did! Dude can see himself out
agreed!
Ugh. He is so gross.
The MAGA shirt is probably for a reaction out of people, like a Borat Sasha Baron-Cohen kind of wind up. He pops up every once in awhile does things like Big Brother and Butter commercials in the UK.
Sounds like a great way to get the plague
He’s not going to consider them friends once they start nesting in his attic and walls. Squirrels are very destructive.
