Gene Simmons is facing criticism for her controversial comments about the female contestants on Dancing with the Stars during her recent appearance as a guest judge on the reality show. During the show’s Hair Metal Night episode, the KISS bassist made comments about Chandler Kinney and Witney Carson’s physical appearance, raising eyebrows online.
KISS rocker Gene Simmons faces criticism online for ‘creepy’ comments about DWTS female contestants
The 75-year-old rock artist had a lot to say after former NFL player Danny Amendola and his partner Carson performed Bon Jovi’s Livin’ on a Prayer from Paso Doble. Simmons couldn’t decide who was “hotter”, instead commenting on their energetic dance numbers.
He said, “This is a completely new experience for me and looking at you it is difficult to find out who is hotter, hotter, hotter.” Simmons said, “Danny, I’m telling you, you’re right next to someone who is one of the most beautiful women on the planet.”
After Kinney and Brandon Armstrong’s jive to Twisted Sister’s We’re Not Gonna Take It, Simmons said, “Chandler, you fog up my glasses. I don’t know what to tell you. You impress me, not only with your actions etc., but also with your beautiful face and how you got into her feelings.”
In another example, the rock legend told Reginald VelJohnson about his dance partner Emma Slater, “Hey Reggie, there’s a beautiful woman next to you who can twist it and twirl it and shake it and know all that. “
Simmons’ comments about the female dancers’ looks did not sit well with viewers, and they immediately took to social media to call out the KISS rocker. “ABC needs to apologize for Gene Simmons being in there and subjecting their cast to this. Why didn’t a producer tell them to stop this,” one X user wrote.
A second user said, “Gene Simmons’ comments about women are giving off that gross uncle energy that stalks you at the #DWTS reunion,” while a third commented, “I feel like Gene Simmons is just trying to keep his score.” Are choosing.” “It’s based on how attractive he finds the girl… thank you #DWTS.”
