Gene Simmons Sues Make-Up Artist Over Alleged Sexual Assault
Posted on May 14, 2010 @ 02:50PM
Gene Simmons is throwing the first punch in a bizarre legal battle with an ESPN make-up artist.
COURT DOCUMENTS: Read The Lawsuit
The KISS superstar has filed a lawsuit against Victoria Jackson who had demanded he pay her $185,000 or she’d sue HIM for allegedly humping and grinding on her during a momentary encounter several months ago.
According to Simmons’ lawsuit, on January 29 he received a demand letter from Jackson’s attorney. She claimed that two months earlier, following a KISS concert in Los Angeles, Simmons hugged her and “humped” and “grinded” her.

She claimed she’d experienced “humiliation, shame, embarrassment,” etc. The lawyer also insisted Simmons get in contact to “resolve this matter short of litigation.”
That was followed by a May 4 demand from Jackson’s attorney, Simmons’ lawsuit states. They wanted Simmons to cough up $185,000 or Jackson would sue him.
Simmons struck first., and is now claiming that Jackson’s claim is provably false. He was in costume, in a suit of armor, no less.
No humping or grinding possible.

The lesson is: If you're going to try to blackmail a celebrity; at least try goin' after one almost as dumb as you.

The story doesn't say what the original 185,000 was for. It just says that she wanted him to give her 185,000 or she'd sue him for "assult". Sounds like blackmail and her attorney is going along with it.

Gene is obviously too smart for a shake down like that. He has class and is a very smart businessman. No way would he ever put himself in a position like that. He is just a target of someone that wants big bucks.

gene has said he has slept with over 4600 women. he built a reputation around being a ho. i still think he was behind the leaking of his sex tape to get people to watch the show. he's not classy. and shannon isn't the brightest lightbulb either.

I've seen him on his t.v. show wearing his suit of armor. There's no way he'd be doing any grinding wearing that thing. Just another opportunist hoping to cash in.

You've got that right! Also seen Gene backstage after concerts and he is very laid back and nothing like the vision of a crazy rock star. Remember these guys are much older, even older then me and seriously they don't have that kind of action.

With all the plastic surgery, you'd think he would look better. GROSS

Well, the KISS make-up besides their gimmick was a ploy to hide the years as they grew older, and it is brilliant. Gene is the type that would have to grow on u, no pun intended. 6'2" in real life and over 7" tall with his platform shoes .
