‘DWTS’ Fans Found Gene Simmons’ Guest Judging Bizarre
Ahead of Hair Metal Night, most Dancing With The Stars fans felt excited to have KISS member Gene Simmons as a guest judge. But after seeing the episode, many are cringing instead.
DWTS often features multiple guest judges each season. But few viewers would like to see Simmons return in the future. See what he said that made fans feel uncomfortable.
Gene Simmons Frequently Discussed The Performers’ Looks Instead Of Abilities
Guest judges on Dancing With The Stars don’t always have extensive dance backgrounds. In general, they receive an invitation if they fit the theme for the night.
And on Hair Metal Night, it just made sense to invite KISS icon Gene Simmons.
But now, it seems that most viewers wish Simmons stayed home. As a judge, his scores seemed to be all over the place and his critiques often centered around a competitor’s appearance rather than their performance.
“Was he there to judge their looks?! Objectifying everyone… His scores made no sense! Never invite him back,” one TikToker wrote. They uploaded a compilation of Simmons’ more disturbing comments, including telling Chandler Kinney he enjoyed her “gyrations.”

Other TikTok users readily agreed. Most didn’t care for the way he spoke about the women. Comments included:
- “Like why did they allow him to keep talking”
- “His comment to Chandler particularly made me 🤢”
- “Poor Whitney and Chandler you could tell they felt very uncomfortable.”
- “I’m starting to think he was judging on looks then the dance because his scores made no sense for [the] majority of the show😭”
Mark Ballas Returns As A Guest Judge Next Week
These opinions on Gene Simmons aren’t exclusive to TikTok. Across Instagram, YouTube, and many other social media platforms, DWTS fans begged producers not to invite the rock star back. Many also called for future guest judges to have a strong dance background so they could provide valuable feedback.
Thankfully, former pro dancer Mark Ballas will be the fourth judge next week. He last appeared during DWTS Season 31 when he and Charli D’Amelio won the Mirrorball Trophy.
