Answer 3

False... here is what I found on Wikipedia:

While the song is known within the music community for its distinctive and influential sound, within the popular imagination it remains best identified with a persistent urban legend. During an instrumental portion of the song, a high-pitched scream is heard (between 2:32 and 2:35); according to the most common legend, this is the scream of LeRoy Phillips, but the victim's identity varies greatly depending on the version.[citation needed] The supposed sources of the scream have included an individual who was killed at some prior time, his scream inexplicably recorded and looped into the track, or a rabbit being killed outside the studio whose scream was accidentally picked up by the band's recording equipment (of all the explanations, this is the least plausible — professional recording studios are soundproof).

The most widespread version of the myth, however, tells that Ester Cordet, who appeared nude on the Honey album cover, had suffered permanent disfigurement due to the substance used to replicate honey for the photo; she interrupted the band's recording session, so the story says, at which point she was stabbed to death. However this is also highly improbable as Ester Cordet is still alive.[1] [2]

Jimmy "Diamond" Williams explained that the scream was nothing eerie or disturbing:

“ There is a part in the song where there's a breakdown. It's guitars and it's right before the second verse and Billy Beck does one of those inhaling-type screeches like Minnie Ripperton did to reach her high note or Mariah Carey does to go octaves above. The DJ made this crack and it swept the country. People were asking us, 'Did you kill this girl in the studio?' The band took a vow of silence because that makes you sell more records

Answer 4

nope false, they were posing for the cover and they poured Honey on her and it bonded with the plexi glass and when she got up it ripped her skin of her legs
