Gene Simmons Faces Backlash on Dancing With Stars

Gene Simmons, the 75-year-old co-founder of KISS, faced significant backlash during his guest judging stint on 'Dancing with the Stars' for 'Hair Metal Night'. Fans criticized his comments as misogynistic and creepy, with Simmons focusing excessively on the contestants' physical appearances rather than their performances. His remarks included telling a female contestant her dance 'fogged up' his glasses and expressing difficulty in deciding which of two performers was 'hot'. Viewers took to social media to voice their outrage, with many calling for the network to address Simmons' inappropriate behavior. Additionally, there were accusations of scoring bias, as Simmons awarded lower scores to contestants of color compared to their white counterparts.
