Ione Skye, 54, Reveals She Slept With John Cusack — and Other Juicy Revelations From Her Memoir (Exclusive)

Ione Skye Shares Intimate Details in Debut Memoir

Actress Ione Skye, known for her role in “Say Anything,” has bared it all in her new memoir titled “Say Everything.” The memoir, set to be released on March 4, takes readers on a journey through her bohemian childhood, complicated relationship with her father, legendary musician Donovan, and encounters with famous friends like River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves, Sofia Coppola, Madonna, and her ex-husband Adam Horovitz of the Beastie Boys.

Skye, now 51, candidly discusses her experiences and connections with various celebrities in the book. She admitted to feeling nervous about revealing so much but expressed that with age comes a sense of liberation to share her truth without fear of judgement. “I think as you get older, you feel freer just taking chances creatively and not worrying so much about everybody being happy,” Skye shared. “Or worrying about looking like a fool.”

One striking revelation in the memoir is Skye’s admission of a past romantic encounter with her “Say Anything” co-star John Cusack. While she had previously denied any off-screen romance, Skye now discloses that they did, in fact, have a relationship years after filming. Cusack himself was surprised by her candidness but appreciated her honesty, even if it differed from his perception of their connection.

In addition to Cusack, Skye also delves into her past crushes on co-stars like River Phoenix and her relationship with musician Anthony Kiedis, which began when she was just 16. She discusses the challenges she faced during their turbulent romance, including an abortion in her late teens. Skye’s openness extends to her marriage to Horovitz, where she discovered her bisexuality and navigated through a series of affairs before their eventual divorce.

Throughout the memoir, Skye reflects on her life choices and personal growth, including her current 15-year marriage to Australian musician Ben Lee. She shares that Lee was aware of her past and stood by her side throughout the writing process, offering support and understanding. Skye appreciates his unwavering support and hopes that readers will enjoy her story as much as she enjoyed writing it.

“Say Everything” is now available for readers to explore the intricate tapestry of Ione Skye’s life, filled with candid anecdotes, emotional revelations, and reflections on love, loss, and self-discovery. As Skye continues to captivate audiences with her on-screen performances, her off-screen narrative proves equally compelling and inspiring.

In a world where celebrity memoirs often gloss over the challenges and complexities of fame, Ione Skye’s openness and vulnerability shine through in “Say Everything,” offering a refreshing and intimate glimpse into the life of a talented actress and woman navigating the highs and lows of stardom and relationships.
