Couple sues Gene Simmons over alleged attack

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A couple who claim they were assaulted by Gene Simmons have sued the KISS bassist.

 

Nathan Marlowe and his wife Cynthia Manzo filed the lawsuit Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

 

The complaint claims Simmons attacked the couple, threatened them and took their video camera at The Grove mall on Saturday after they started filming the rocker.

 

The couple's attorney, Matthew Nezhad, says a police report was filed. The couple sought a restraining order against Simmons on Wednesday, but that petition was denied.

 

Simmons has not been arrested and no charges have been filed.

 

A phone message seeking comment from Simmons' entertainment attorney was not immediately returned.

 

The couple are seeking damages of more than $25,000.

So fucking stupid. Gene caused more than $25,000 in damage to these people in a mall? That's what's wrong with this country today. These people are just looking for a free ride and they think Simmons is their car. BS!

[Fat Freddy]

Somebody's looking for free $$. Gene's lawyers will rip'em a new ass. Buh-bye.

Don't mess with the Demon himself!

I saw this yesterday and my first thought was BULLSHIT!!!

 

Just as everyone else has said their looking for free money.

[Dead Planet]

I seriously doubt that they were hurt and yes they are after money....but at the same time Gene wouldn't be the first 'star' to smack someone around for taking his picture when he didn't want them to....the fans are alright when they are buying his shit but not when they take his picture..??

This is what Gene loves, going to court and getting other people's money

IF the charges are somewhat true, don't be surprised if he does have to pay or better yet, settle out of court. IF they are not true, then he will have a field day and bury them in a KISS coffin.
