Fox News bans Kiss frontman Gene Simmons for life

[Jacque67 7,328]

I’m a powerful and attractive man, and what I’m about to say is deadly serious,” he continued. “Men are jackasses. From the time we’re young we have testosterone. I’m not validating it or defending it.”

Maybe not, but within minutes he was demonstrating it. According to a knowledgeable Fox News source, Simmons showed up on the 14th floor to do a book-plugging interview with FoxNews.com’s entertainment section, but instead barged in on a staff meeting uninvited.

“Hey chicks, sue me!” he shouted, and then pulled open his red velvet shirt to reveal his chest and belly, according to the source. Then he starting telling Michael Jackson pedophilia jokes, and then bopped two employees on the head with his book, making derisive comments about their comparative intelligence according to the sound their heads made when struck.

“It was pretty severe,” the source said.

After Simmons’s misconduct was reported to a supervisor, and then to human-resources executive Kevin Lord, the Kiss frontman was permanently banned from the building and will no longer be permitted on any Fox News or Fox Business Network programming.

He referred to males as jackasses. Hence one less jackass for Fox news to deal with.

Sounds like Fox News did the right thing.  I'm not sure what is so funny about verbal and physical abuse though.

Might want to point out its fox news and it's a rather one sided report. 

 

But all in all, yes, Gene can be a donkeys but. He's known for that. And like it states in the article, if you ask a tongue flicking hip thrusting sexualy deviant demon to a talk show, that's exactly what you'll get:  a tongue flicking hip thrusting sexualy deviant demon on your show.

I think it's hysterical tbh

Is it hysterical that people at Fox News were verbally and physically assaulted?

I think his behaviour is hysterical, yes. I suspect it is heavily exaggerated and pulled out of proportion. People are so easily offended these days.

I agree that he is a funny guy, also extremely talented and intelligent.  However, if the people at the receiving end of the specifically mentioned behavior felt assaulted, I wouldn't label that specific behavior hysterical.  I still wonder why the OP thinks it is so funny.

If I have to stop labeling everything someone takes offence at as hysterical I won't have much to laugh at. I'm sorry, I'm not exactly PC (I can be if I have to be, it's just not who I am as a person)

Thanks for keeping the discussion open and respectful though. I almost expected to be burned at the stake here

Wasn't his TV show named Gene Simmons Family Jewels?  The guy is a marketing genius.  I also think it is pretty amazing that he was deep in that rock star lifestyle and never got involved with the drugs or alcohol, like some of his bandmates.

I wonder why you sport a white nationalist icon in your signature, but then who am I to judge why?

Your wonder is misplaced and I take offense to you implying that I am a white nationalist.
