Gene Simmons Facing Backlash Over His Remarks During DWTS Appearance

Gene Simmons Facing Backlash Over His Remarks During DWTS Appearance

As a seasoned viewer of Dancing With the Stars and a long-time fan of KISS, I find myself at odds with Gene Simmons‘ comments during the hair metal-themed episode. While I appreciate his passion for the music and the show, his focus on the physical appearance of the contestants feels misplaced and inappropriate.


Not all the Dancing With the Stars fans were made for lovin’ Gene Simmons.

Following the KISS guitarist’s critique of several dancers’ appearances during the hair metal-themed episode on October 8th, numerous spectators voiced their opinions, making their thoughts heard loudly.

One individual posted on Twitter, “Gene Simmons’ remarks regarding women are making him seem like an awkward relative who inappropriately discusses females at a family gathering #DWTS,” while another person wrote, “Gene Simmons is drawing unwanted attention to himself by making uncomfortable comments about the female performers in the ballroom.

Intriguingly, Simmons drew attention when he employed his assessments of the dancers’ performances to praise multiple competitors, with a particular focus on the female dancers.

“This is an entirely novel situation for me, and it’s challenging to decide who among you two is the most attractive.” He also mentioned to Danny: “You’re in close proximity to someone who happens to be one of the most beautiful women on Earth.

 

As a lifestyle connoisseur, allow me to share an enchanting moment I recently witnessed. Much like the electrifying performance by the talented Chandler Kinney, a captivating actress, and Brandon Armstrong, a gifted dancer, who dazzled with their Jive routine, set against a backdrop of a cover of “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by Twisted Sister. Upon observing their performance, Derek Hough, the 24-year-old prodigy, expressed his admiration for Chandler: “Chandler, you’ve left me bewildered. I find myself at a loss for words. Your mesmerizing movements, coupled with your radiant beauty and deep emotional connection to the dance, have stirred something profound within me.

TopMob News has reached out to reps for Simmons and ABC for comment and has not heard back.

Meanwhile, following the show, Kinney and Armstrong shared their thoughts on the rocker’s comments.

In an interview with Us, the actress from Pretty Little Liars stated that Brandon seems to have a greater range of emotions compared to me. Her reaction was simply a laughter-filled “LOL.

However, Armstrong confessed that Simmons’ statements caused him to reconsider. He stated, “‘Let me just stop for a moment,'” he clarified, “I have two young sisters. When I heard it, I thought, ‘Hold on, hold on, hold on.’
