Gene Simmons Faces Backlash for Controversial Comments on 'Dancing With the Stars'

The KISS frontman defends his remarks after being criticized for focusing on dancers' appearances during his guest judging stint.

Gene Simmons' guest appearance on 'Dancing With the Stars' sparked controversy due to his comments on female contestants' appearances.
Simmons, who admitted knowing little about dance technique, based his scores largely on attractiveness rather than performance.
His remarks were deemed 'creepy' and 'misogynistic' by viewers, with some calling for him not to return to the show.
Despite the criticism, Simmons stands by his comments, asserting that he had a great time and encourages others to watch the show.
Mark Ballas, a fan-favorite and former pro dancer, is set to be the next guest judge, potentially easing tensions among viewers.
