KISS veteran Gene Simmons was slammed on social media earlier this week over comments he made during his appearance on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars, but the musician is brushing aside the backlash in his first comments about the controversy.
What Happened With Gene Simmons on Dancing With the Stars?
Simmons was a guest during judge during “Hair Metal Night” on the show in which the competitors performed choreographed dances to classics by Poison, Warrant, Twisted Sister, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and others. But both viewers and the studio audience took exception to some of Simmons’ low scores during the evening. He was also called out on social media for some of his feedback to the competitors, most of which was concentrated on their physical appearance rather than the routine.
