Gene Simmons Settles Up Of Court
Gene Simmons of the rock group Kiss and a former girlfriend have settled a defamation lawsuit in which she said he made her sound like a “sex-addicted nymphomaniac” during a documentary shown on VH1 rockumentary When KISS Ruled the World.
In order to solve this incident quietly, the two ex-lovers (Simmons and Ward) released a public statement, in which the 55-year old rocker, also author of the “Calling Dr. Love”, offered his sincere apoloigies with involved no payment of money to her to settle this case, so Simmons got off easy and out an end to a lawsuit that was filed in January 2005 in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Ward, 53, was a girlfriend of Simmons’ in the 1970s. She filed the lawsuit in January 2005, alleging that the documentary defamed her by juxtaposing Simmons’ commentary about himself with photographs that included her.
She said that the images showeed her as a “sexually loose, immoral, unchaste woman.” These allegations were rejected initially by the Kiss frontman, but in the settlement he managed to offer decent explanations that made Ward give up all charges. “I value my early relationship with Ms. Ward and wish her well,” said Simmons. “My quotes in the documentary that Ms. Ward took issue with were solely about me, not Ms. Ward or anyone else.”
Simmons denied that any inferences suggested by Ward could be reasonably drawn or understood from the documentary. “I value my early relationship with Ms. Ward and wish her well,” Simmons said in the announcement.
