It’s common knowledge that Gene Simmons isn’t a saint. The KISS bassist has found himself in the center of the tabs many times, including sexual assault allegations and his own claims that he’s been with around 5,000 women.
Throughout it all, his wife, Shannon Tweed, remained a pillar of strength, standing by her man. But, as reports of Simmons’ infidelity ran rampant, even the actress couldn’t hide her disdain. During a 2011 interview that the couple gave on The Joy Behar Show, it appeared that the two were already in the middle of their own personal spat. “He’s a pig, and I don’t like it,” Tweed bluntly told Behar while her then-boyfriend sat next to her. Instead of migrating to a different line of questioning, Behar then decided to get involved, and drilled the rocker about the number of women he’s supposedly slept with, with the following quip: “How’s your back, Gene?” Uh-oh. His response? “My back is good, my schmeckle, not so much.” While it was enough to induce giggles, Tweed definitely didn’t find it funny, getting up, slapping Simmons’ back, and muttering, “F**k off,” before leaving the stage.
While you’d think that would be the end of their relationship, Tweed and Simmons actually ended up getting married only months after going on the talk show and, at the time of this writing, are still going strong.
