Jerry Lee Lewis joking about his marriage with Myra!

[JOKAWILD26]

@debunker58 anyone that sticks up and defends this Pedophile incest weirdo must be from the South, even forget the fact it was his cousin ok,, but the fact a grown ass man in his 20's was having sex with a 13 yr old ? you usually hit puburty about 13,, thats why its a phelony,, a girl 16 is a misdemeanor much less offense,, a girl under the age of 14 is PEDOPHILE status, you sick ass, so its not the fact a 13 yr old got married, its that a 13 yr old married a grown ass man in his 20's

[MBloodninja1]

@JOKAWILD26 then if it was that wrong her parents would have stopped it..he was 22 its really not that bad theres worse going on now. now you find out about 10 year olds having sex with people twice his age and do it with more then one guy..and yes i do support him and im not from the south!

[ConnieAnna1]

Naughty Boy..Jerry Lee sure was sexy, WAS

[ThuSkyline]

Judging by most of the comments trying to justify Jerry Lee's actions, I'm pretty sure Chris Hansen is keeping a close eye on you lot. LOL.

[ThuSkyline]

Hide your kids, hide your.....kids....

[mkschreder]

When I was 13 I used to look at my 25 year old teacher and wish that she would drag me down to the toiled and fuck me like a real woman. :D

[TheAngelSpeaks15]

I don't care how you spin it, how you try to justify, what type of facts you pull out... that entire marriage was just sick, and there's no fucking way around it.

[nicoleakalilqueenie]

Correction: Doo was 22 when he and Loretta got married.

[nicoleakalilqueenie]

You know...Loretta Lynn and Doo got married when she was 13 and he was 20...so why wasn't there a big stink about that? They stayed married for decades too. Of course, they weren't related. But still...it's basically the same deal as Jerry & Myra. She was just a child and he was a grown man. It all worked out ok though.

[tomy123454567535]

@debunker58

It was never common, and it is completely immoral, it's paedophilia, how can anyone begin to defend that with lazy comments like it was 'a different world back then' a 23 year old and a 13 year old is wrong, no matter what decade you absolute cretin.

[massiveham]

his complete arrogance and laugh puts this over beautifully.......you can hear him saying 'get over it, ancient history!' in one chuckle....

[Pumarisi124]

@massiveham  Well said. That hearty laugh is worth a million words! Gotta love the attitude, biting candor, & how JLL never hesitates to speak his own mind.

[halcain]

Um Precilla was atleast 17 when they married

[Pemphetru]

marrying 13 year olds was legal, so was domestic abuse and slavery. it's called progress.

[pecky143]

@Pemphetru LOLLL!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pemphetru]

@SuperPureElite marrying 13 year olds was legal, so was domestic abuse and slavery. it's called progress.

[FyerBritches]

The rate of birth defects, when cousins marry--especially 2nd cousins--is often highly exaggerated by those who just don't know the facts. The actual rate of birth defects with cousin-couples is something like 4.5 - 5.5%. With non-cousin couples it's around 3%. In other words, the increased risk is about the same as with pregnancies in women over forty. I think I've read that the rate of serious (mental) birth defects, for a descendant of Jerry Lee Lewis, lies in the 97.5 - 99% range.

[JaimeLe50s]

This man is sick! I am disgusted that ANY man that could go with a child is just so very wrong! ppl like that belong put away-FAR away

[landrumjacob]

He has the coolest glasses

[BPRINC1]

So they went through all that just to get divorced? Did she divorce him because became a drunk and smoker like most of the rock n roll artist's did back than? 

[JerryLeeRuLeS]

@BPRINC1 Yeah, that's what Myra said, during the 1959 - 1967 period Jerry Lee didn't have any big hits, but with his return to the charts in 1968 he started drinking again and "behaving like a rock 'n' roll star" (in fact that's what he was and what he is)

[BPRINC1]

@JerryLeeRuLeS Yeah i just cant believe he still performs after all that.

[AuroraBorealisAK]

@BPRINC1 she also said he cheated on her and abused her.

[BPRINC1]

@AuroraBorealisAK oh ok. now that seems more reasonable.

[akemoguy]

@BPRINC1 smoker lol u know no nothing about the 50's

smoking wasnt a big deal back then no body gave a fuck

in fact it was frowned upon if udidnt smoke

people thout u weird

[BPRINC1]

@akemoguy I'm not that stupid i know that. I asked if myra cared about it. Not the entire 50's community. Read before you comment and try to insult someone.

[kjetin99]

@PONYBOY430 So God only love special people or how do you explain it?

[79goldmaster1]

the Killer is such a stud!

[RylieMey]

He was such a douche!

[Logankeller352]

@RylieMey weren't the nosy british dickheads douches for not mindig their own god damn business?

[StephenCebu]

When i last saw them last week Elvis and Jerry were eating burgers in Jolibee and Myra looked a bit older than 13 to me. Jerry told me that he didn't wait until she turned of age, he was a man and a 13 year old was too good an opportunity to be missed. I asked him if she had a younger sister but he said no then seemed to fade away in a mist. I just shook my head and continued to drink my bourbon.

[fortheloveoftunes]

0:32 oh boy redneck-brain .-)

[iiLaala13]

Um well its really weird coz im 13....it just creeps me out lol anyway,i know times were different when he married myra who was only 13 so i guess he thought it wasnt that bad but accually they were also 2nd or 3rd cousins :/

[Marialisa101]

the difference between the marriages of Elvis to Priscella and Jerry Lee to Myra, was that Elvis did in fact wait for her to turn of age. Jerry clearly did not.

[dgenerated]

@Marialisa101 He still lusted for a "child" as most would put it.You justify that?..I do INDEED justify that we are ALL different at different ages..There are 15 year olds in medical school..In your eyes do you classify someone like that as "15"??

[bree323ful]

why did they devorce...

[JerryLeeRuLeS]

@bree323ful When Jerry Lee returned to the top of the charts in 1968, he wanted to be treated like a superstar, and he started smoking and drinking too much.

[smfan2000]

@JerryLeeRuLeS thats sad.....sad face for me :'(

[RickJ32]

@bree323ful they divorced because Jerry Lee beat on her, and cheated on her too.

[apologeticsman]

@bree323ful he fell for Winona Ryder, also at age 13... just kidding, but that would be ironic and gross...

[RickJ32]

@bree323ful another big reason that they divorced was that Jerry Lee cheated on her, and he was physically abusive towards her.

[TheMissjordan456]

i think its really shity that he makes fun of it . because it was him who wanted to marry her in the 1st place.

[popmalevoo]

muhammad the prophet married Aisha when she was 6 or 7

[MissLaurie40]

Jerry was related to Jimmy Swaggert and also Mickey Gilley. They divorced because he's an alcoholic and was physically abusive to her.

[agooTV]

Yeah, Elvis was disgusting indeed...

[sisarena]

@agooTV

NO NO Elvis was not disgusting.

He loved Priscilla and she loved him like Myra & Jerry Lee Lewis... although I have to say, 13 and being married, glad it's not like that anymore. Back in the ole' days that apparently was not unheard of but now it is... glad for it, ha ha. I can't imagine my baby getting married @ 13.

OR MYSELF !LOL!

[4lokistone]

@sisarena that and Elvis married Priscilla after a 7 and a half year courtship when they met. Plus she was 14.

[karly604]

jerry lee lewis looks like my grandpa in this video lol sadly my grandpa passed away 5 years ago.

[sedatedno1]

predator

[Spaz2708]

Are they still married?

[JerryLeeRuLeS]

No, Myra divorced him in 1970.

[sisarena]

@JerryLeeRuLeS

Do we know why they divorced though, I am just curious.... Also, was Jerry Lee and Elvis related at all, cousins maybe?

I was told they were but I had never heard that so was only wondering...

Thanks.

[JerryLeeRuLeS]

No, Jerry Lee and Elvis weren't relatives. They didn't know each other before they met in Sun Records in 1956. But they were good friends, or that's what Jerry Lee always says and what Elvis used to say.

[epmelodygirl]

renisafred Yes, MJ was found innocent in a court of law, but what Jerry Lee Lewis did was NOT against the law to begin with. He married his 13 yr old 1st cousin, once removed, but it was a LEGAL. marriage. First, in the US today the legal age of sexual consent is 16 in 34 states with 6 or 7 having stipulations, 18 in 11 states, and 17 in a few. Many states have a law that allows an underage person to marry with written permission from a parent or guardian

[epmelodygirl]

Since Myra was the daughter of JJL's 1st cousin, & a band member, it was probably her father who signed the consent. The bottom age is probably different in each state. Also, the girl has to be willing of course.This is the same kind of consent needed if an underage boy wants to join the army & go to war. Also, in about half the states in the US  marriage to a 1st cousin is LEGAL with a few states having stipulations like once removed, etc. (The age of sexual consent is higher for same sex.)

[sisarena]

@epmelodygirl

There is a movie (Great Balls of Fire) that shows he was not ahppy or signed a consent. Now I don't know how reliable it is but just saying. You can even pull it up here and watch it. 2010 Jamie has it for viewing or 2010jamie or20jamie10... Something like that.

[LillyLina911]

How long were they married? And are they still?

[renisafred]

micheal jackson by law is innocent. this man married his on 13 year old cousin.funny how if people like the talent more than the person they can look the other way. america is dying protect our kids black , white, and other please!!!!

[plutoplatters]

but it's "COOL" because he's famous !!!!

[Notoriouskitty]

And You Do??

[alucardxinuxvampluv]

oh okay then hes coool.haha he rocks.

[alucardxinuxvampluv]

thats soo mean if you were ganna make fun of her then why did you merry her.whatever happened to myra?

[JerryLeeRuLeS]

It was Myra who divorced him.

[4lokistone]

@JerryLeeRuLeS For good reason to. Disgusting that he would joke about something that stopped his career. Also disgusting that he would hit her as well, she was younger then him, a girl and his wife! Good to know he feels proud about smacking around the 3 things a man dont hit. Your lover, a female and some one outside your own age band.

[kingelf3]

@4lokistone ok a he is now no longer with her and the fact that he can joke about the fact the marriege almost killed his ceara in the uk proths that he is a a bigger man an forgives london for the way they treated him and he only hit her that one time when he was drunk and it destroed him too when rellised what he had done so get yr facts stait befor u rant about him ok

[davidallenroth]

@alucardxinuxvampluv

she sells real estate somewhere in the south . her daughter now manages Jerry's career

[JerryLeeRuLeS]

Offensive comments about Jerry or whoever are removed.

[Magicttmt]

Not sure, maybe that she wasnt a CLOSE relative.... maybe a second cousin, or a cousins cousin, ... if you know what I mean lol

[T97Frida]

"13 year old cousin of mine" Jerry Lee once married his only 13 year old cousin Myra. And the Brits didn´t like that, lol

[platinum395]

um wow

[JerryLeeRuLeS]

Yeah, she divorced Jerry Lee in 1970.

[GothicCity13]

why did she divorce him?

[JerryLeeRuLeS]

I suppose for Jerry's alcohol and drugs abbuse, that made him very violent.

[massiveham]

holy shit, this is hysterical! did the joke about alcohol keeping his coca cola clean fly a mile over everyone's head, or what? i'm stealing that one!! he seems very 'happy' at this show. the crack about myra makes this clip especially interesting. love how he goes for the cheap pop about london, too. thanks a bunch for this.

[boogiepiano]

can someone write what he says?

thanks

[RobinEP94]

Haha, Jerry is such a cool guy! I would like to know him. I think he is nice and funny.

[grubelsucht]

Love ya Jerry.

[brandykackley15]
