Jerry Lee Lewis’ 13-Year-Old Bride That Shocked the World

In 1957, rock legend Jerry Lee Lewis secretly married his 13-year-old cousin, Myra Gale Brown, while still legally married to another woman. When news broke, it nearly destroyed his career overnight. Lewis was banned from radio stations, dropped from tours, and booed at shows. Yet, despite the scandal, no criminal charges were filed. The marriage lasted until 1970 and became one of the most infamous moments in rock history — a shocking example of fame bending the rules of morality and the law. #JerryLeeLewis #MyraGaleBrown #RockHistory #Scandal #CelebrityControversy #ChaunceyDatGuy
