Armstrong met Brody Dalle of The Distillers and Spinnerette while Rancid was playing Australia`s Summersault Festival (Dalle was performing with her group Sourpuss). Although Armstrong is 13 years older than Dalle (she confesses that she had lied about her age when they met, claiming to be 19 when she was only 17), the two began dating and corresponding. Shortly after her 18th birthday, Dalle moved from her home in Melbourne, Australia to Los Angeles, California and married Armstrong. She filed for divorce in 2003.
During their divorce, photographs of Dalle kissing Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme were published in Rolling Stone magazine. Armstrong, who claims he knew nothing of Dalle`s relationship with Homme, said in a Guitar One interview, that he cried when he saw the photos. Armstrong has accused Dalle and Homme of adultery. Homme has received a series of death threats from loyal Armstrong fans. She has said that their marriage was in decline for some time before its dissolution, and that the couple had considered marriage counseling. It is reported that Dalle ended the relationship over a long distance phone call. Dalle has since married Homme.
