Who is Kiss rocker Gene Simmons’ wife Shannon Tweed? The ex Playboy model is a Taylor Swift fan, dated Hugh Hefner, and was in a relationship with the DWTS judge for 28 years before tying the knot
Gene Simmons has been accused of making inappropriate comments about the female dancers on Dancing with the Stars of late, so who is his former Playboy Bunny wife Shannon Tweed?
Kiss musician Gene Simmons is in hot water after making some “creepy” comments about female dancers on Dancing with the Stars, as reported by People magazine.
“This is a brand new experience for me and it’s difficult to look at you and to figure out which one is more hot, hot, hot,” he said in response to former NFL player Danny Amendola and his partner Witney Carson’s moves, per People magazine. “Danny, I’m telling you, you’re right next to somebody, one of the more beautiful women on the planet.”
Simmons also sparked backlash for his commentary after watching Chandler Kinney and her partner Brandon Armstrong’s dance. “Chandler, you’ve fogged up my glasses. I don’t know what to tell you. You move me, not just with your gyrations and so on, but your beautiful face and how you were into the emotion of it,” he said.
Netizens took to social media to call out the musician for his out-of-pocket remarks. “Dear @officialdwts, Shame on Gene Simmons for treating this like a beauty pageant. Never have him on the show again. EVER. He ruined it. #gross,” one user wrote on X.
Simmons is in a long-term relationship with his wife, Shannon Tweed. In a 2023 interview with The Guardian, he said he would never “leave [his wife, even] if Shannon dilly-dallied like I had”.
