Gene
Simmons of KISS is Sued For Slander
A former girlfriend (Georgeann Walsh Ward) of Gene Simmons (KISS
band member) is suing him for slander, saying that he made her
sound like a ``sex-addicted nymphomaniac'' during a ``rockumentary''
on VH-1 television. Georgeann who is now 53 and residing in Chester,
N.Y. claims that because a photo of her with Gene Simmons was
shown during remarks about his sexual adventures, she was in effect
portrayed as ``wild'' and ``unchaste.''
Georgeann
is now married with a 21-year-old son. She met Gene Simmons at
a concert in October 1972 when she was 21 and for three years
they were in what she believed was "an exclusive, monogamous,
romantic relationship.'' Gene Simmons has not yet commented on
the charges.
