The KISS frontman's remarks about female contestants' appearances drew criticism from viewers and social media users.

Gene Simmons, guest judge on 'Dancing With the Stars,' made controversial comments about female contestants during the Hair Metal Night episode.
Viewers criticized Simmons for focusing on the physical appearances of contestants rather than their dance skills.
Social media users described Simmons' comments as 'creepy' and 'misogynistic,' leading to widespread calls for an apology from ABC.
Simmons' scoring was also questioned, with accusations of bias against contestants of color and inconsistency in his ratings.
The backlash has put Simmons' future appearances on the show in doubt, with fans relieved that Mark Ballas will guest judge next week.
