Gene Simmons Accused of Sexual Assault




Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Legal Issues,

Gene SimmonsRock-turned-reality star has been accused of sexual assault and sexual battery.

Make-up artist Victoria Jackson has filed a lawsuit against the KISS singer - whose real name is Gene Klein - alleging he approached her when she was working at Los Angeles’ ESPN Sports Center last November and said in “a lecherous and inappropriate manner, ‘I like you.’”

According to the documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Victoria was “surprised by the overtly sexual attention.” She accuses the 60-year-old rocker of grabbing and hugging her, to which she responded: “Ouch. You are hurting me.” She then tried to back out of his way because “his spiked chest was jabbing her in the face.”

Gene refused to let go of the make-up artist, instead “he pulled her even closer, tightly, pinning her arms and said, ‘No not yet.’” He is then accused of “humping her to the extent she could feel his groin grinding into her.” Gene then allegedly said, “Aw, That’s better! Now you can go.”

According to RadarOnline.com, Victoria - who described the rocker’s behavior as “vile and inexcusable” - is seeking over $500,000 in damages. She claims she has suffered humiliation, shame, embarrassment, anger, anxiety, loss of sleep and depression. However, the Crazy Crazy Nights star has filed a suit against Victoria claiming she wanted money and no assault occurred.
