![Bobbi Kristina Hospitalized -- Whitney Houston's Daughter Rushed to the Hospital [UPDATE]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/13/0213-whitney-hero-2-248x127.jpg)
Rumors have been swirling on the Internet that Flea, bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, is a less then stellar father to his daughter.
What apparently started said rumor was an interview Flea did with Key 103, a radio station out of Manchester, England. The host and Flea began talking about their children, and Flea mentioned how his daughter Sunny hit her head on a table and joked that he put her in the closet because she was crying. The joke escalated to rumor and the rumor populated the Internet.
With everyone looking for a reason to chastise celebrities for their child rearing abilities, maybe Flea should keep jokes about his fathering skills on the down low.
Hear Flea's interview.

Forget the closet, I think the real crime here is that he has not been educating his daughter in the fine ways of the flea. Where are the jumping lessons? your average flea can jump seven inches into the air, that is 250 ft if a person were to jump. Or how about that whole blood sucking thing? How is she ever going to lay 15-20 eggs per day if she isn't sucking down innordinate amounts of blood? I would rather be in the closet if I were her, she must be so embarassed to go to flea school, all the other fleas making fun of her, pointing and laughing. Maybe she hit herself on the head just to take the edge off the swirling vortex of pain her life has become. I agree flea is a horrible father and an embarassment to the flea species.
A lot of people joke about their kids! Parents should have a sense of humor. Besides, locking up small children is perfectly proper parenting! ;-)
Flea is the sh*t! Clearly it was a joke, everyone was laughing
Given the fact that this man has single-handedly raised his daughter alone since she was a toddler (I seem to recall her mother was a drug addict), I can't think of a cooler, more loving father. Also, it should be noted, Flea is the only member of RHCP that NEVER has had an issue with drugs, and has always been the mothering type who has helped his friends seek treatment and kept them from falling off the wagon. Props to one of the illest musicians on the planet, and a cool person to boot.
everyone who doesn't care about flea's poor little abused daughter is a big fat jerk. You people would laugh if Britney Spears almost dropped her baby or if Paris Hilton crashed her car on camera, What a bunch of jerks, I hate you all, you dirty child abusers.
i love tmz foreverz!!!!!
it is the roxxorz!!
Total bullshit. I used to work at a record shop in Hollywood, and Flea would often come in with his daughter, whom he would allow to pick out whatever she wanted (and she had GREAT taste in music) but would also discuss the artists, show her incredible amounts of affection, and just seemed like a really nice guy. They're relationship never, ever seemed strained -- and they would come in very often for my entire 4 year tenure. This semes soooo wrong - I think more likely is that their relationship is strong enough for them to have some playful joking. Flea is a good guy.
