_jr_ Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Woman Sues Gene Simmons Over VH1 Sex Talk 2 hours, 26 minutes ago Top Stories - AP By The Associated Press NEW YORK - A woman who says she is a former girlfriend of KISS rocker Gene Simmons (news) is suing him for slander, saying the bass guitarist made her sound like a "sex-addicted nymphomaniac" during a "rockumentary" on VH-1 television. AP Photo Georgeann Walsh Ward, 53, of Chester, N.Y., says in court papers that a photo of her appeared 11 times during the report on KISS, shown on the network several times in July and August, while Simmons claimed to have had sexual encounters with 4,600 women. In the documentary, "When KISS Ruled The World," Simmons commented that "there wasn't a girl that was off limits, and I enjoyed every one of them," court papers say. Ward's papers say that because a photo of her with Simmons was shown during remarks about his sexual adventures, she was in effect portrayed as "wild" and "unchaste." "The implication was that (Ward) was a prostitute and/or solicited prostitutes, and/or (she was) a sexually loose woman," court papers say. Ward, married with a 21-year-old son, said she met Simmons at a concert in October 1972 when she was 21. For the next three years through fall of 1975, she says in court papers, they were in what she believed was "an exclusive, monogamous, romantic relationship." During much of the time they were together, Ward's court papers say, Simmons was a college student and then a sixth-grade teacher "until the success of KISS propelled him out of the classroom and out of plaintiff's life." Ward's lawsuit, filed Thursday, asks for unspecified damages from Simmons and from Viacom, VH-1's parent company, for alleged defamation and invasion of privacy. Laura Nelson, spokeswoman for Viacom, said she could not comment on pending litigation. No spokesperson for Simmons could be reached for comment.

DiggsUK Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 How could he state a figure as accurate as 4,600? He must have some memory, either that or a very weak bedpost. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxy Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Doesn't Gene claim to have the photos to prove it? I have heard that too, but I've no idea whether there is any truth to it or not. He isn't exactly quiet about his conquests, so I wouldn't be surprised if suddenly the Simmons Sex Archives suddenly appeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 News story we will NEVER SEE: "Today (insert plantiff name here) filed suit against (insert virtually unknown, unsuccessful, whoa-fully poverty stricten individual with no notoriety nor a penny to their name here) without a chance of getting any money or subsequent talk show appearances, book deals or even a fleeting mention on the late, late, late news. But that's ok with the plantiff... this suit is soly based on PRINCIPLE to make this a better world for them and others who suffer a similar fate". Yep, like I said.. we'll never see this!!

If you figure 30 years to be about 11,000 days, that would mean Gene Simmons had a new girl about every other day or two. We have to also take into account that he has lived with Shannon Tweed since 1984 and fathered two children with her. I highly doubt that he had time for 4600 women, and with a partner of Shannon Tweed's caliber, I can't see why he would look elsewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrampledUnderFoot Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 hah, I believe it...he probably hooked up with more then one girl at once...groupies attack in swarms, dont they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy1104 if you read my post again I said 'I don't think its impossible' and who says it was one at a time...It's not physically impossible if you have a few girls a night with you.
