JANI Lane’s ex Bobbi Brown has claimed the late Warrant singer was sexually assaulted in a horror attack before they were married.
In her new book Dirty Rocker Boys, the 50-year-old Cherry Pie model shockingly claimed he was drugged and raped by another famous rock star.
The singer passed away from alcohol intoxication in 2011 aged 47, and she says the humiliating incident took place before they were wed and had their daughter Taylor.
But he opened up to her about the attack before his death.
Speaking to Fox News, she said: “At the moment that he admitted (he was drugged and raped), it was devastating to hear.
“He admitted this to me before his death. It was traumatizing to watch him reveal those things and how much it had affected his life up to that point.
“When we were married I had no clue. This occurred when he was just starting out on the Strip. So when I’m hearing all of this with him, I’m crying with him. I was going, ‘We have to do something, we have to say something.’
“He was like, ‘No! No!’ It was a humiliation for a man to be in that position.”
Brown met Lane on the set of the Cherry Pie video and they were married for two years before they divorced in 1993.
She reckoned the attack haunted him throughout his career and later in life.
She also said that it was a shame he had not been around long enough to see the #MeToo movement unfold.
She added: “It’s so emasculating and humiliating. It would have been humiliating for him. So we couldn’t say anything.
“Instead he lived with this anger inside. He felt like he couldn’t say anything because he was a man.

“He was raised to be a man, not to cry. It was all mind-f*****g. I could see how it would have been devastating and humiliating for him to speak up.
“I got his perspective from it, but at the same time, I felt so hopeless for him, knowing that he felt he couldn’t say anything. And wouldn’t. That affected him greatly his whole life.
“It was part of the reason he drank. It’s sad, really.”
