Gene Simmons has strongly denied allegations that he ‘humped’ and ‘grinded’ up against a hapless TV make-up artist earlier this year.

Said TV make-up artist, Victoria Jackson, says she was subjected to, ‘humiliation, shame, embarrassment, anger, anxiety, loss of sleep and depression’ after Simmons appeared on the ESPN show Sportscenter earlier this year. Her lawyers were seeking an out of court cash settlement of $185,000.

But the Kiss bassist denies any such claims – and part of his defence is that he was in full stage gear, which precludes any such lewd antics!
