Kiss bassist Gene Simmons is being sued by a radio and television broadcaster who says he groped her and made "unwanted, unwarranted sexual advances" during a Nov. 1 interview.
Filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday (Dec. 15), the lawsuit says the alleged incident occurred while the plaintiff, identified as "Jane Doe," was interviewing Simmons and his Kiss bandmate Paul Stanley at their Rock & Brews restaurant at San Manuel Casino in Highland, Calif.
According to the lawsuit, Simmons, 68, repeatedly grabbed the woman's hand and "forcefully placed it on his knee and held it on his knee." It also alleges that the musician "forcibly flicked/struck" the woman's throat, later providing an "incoherent explanation" for his behavior.
The suit also says that while posing for a promotional photograph together after the interview, Simmons "reached toward Plaintiff Doe's buttocks and touched it."
The allegations included in the suit include sexual battery, gender violence, battery and assault.
"Defendant Simmons turned standard interview questions into sexual innuendos, which made plaintiff Doe extremely uncomfortable," the suit reads.
The plaintiff is identified in the documents as a "long-time on-air personality for a local rock station."
"My client is embarrassed and humiliated by the incident with Mr. Simmons," her attorney, Willie W. Williams, told The San Bernardino Sun in a telephone interview. "She filed suit because she wanted to make a strong statement that this behavior is unacceptable and she wants to see an end to this type of behavior."

I honestly don't find that surprising. A few of my friends have run into him around Denver, and he's not a great guy.

All I have to say regarding Gene Simmons, is if we're going to go after 70s and 80s male rock figures, we're gonna need to hire some more people.  |

ive tried to be a fan of TYT over the years and there's a lot of great work being done there, but Cenk has consistently been one of the least useful people on screen at any given time and he very often ventured into the realm of creepy when it came to women and sexuality. it's unfortunately not surprising and i hope he gets the boot everywhere double-quick.
he's also terrible at debates. he gets invited to all the politicon stuff every year and he's always the guy who resorts to grandstanding and dumb mockery to try prove a point and it always was a bad look for anyone using him as a mouthpiece for progressives.
those comments are gross but i honestly think he's said even worse on his own show pretty often.

Sorry about the delay folks, that's what you get for being C.S.T. monsters.
As far as I could tell, based on the reported posts, and that they pointedly edited around the word filter, 1901 was not participating in good faith, and did not care for civil discourse, so I'm going to label them a troll, and leave their indefinite ban in place. I apologize that they went unchecked for as long as they did. For the sake of being complete, and because I was dealing with this half asleep, I simply nuked all of their posts.

Man, I missed all the excitement eh. he basically was just spam-posting a bunch of edgelord "get over it" mens rights bullshit. nothing very exciting and for anyone who was on the old board, you can probably already predict most of his fake-opinions on the topic. |
