Gene Simmons has a lot to say about his recent car accident—mostly that it’s not worth sweating! The iconic KISS frontman recently brushed off the media’s coverage of his fender-bender, insisting it’s just a small hiccup in the rock and roll life. After being spotted just weeks post-crash, it seems Simmons has a pretty casual approach to car accidents, claiming the press made a mountain out of a molehill. Who could’ve imagined that a car wreck would come with a side of drama?
Simmons recently called the media’s portrayal of his crash“fake news,”which is a bold move coming from a guy used to being in the public eye. Let’s face it: a car crash is a big deal, especially when you’re a rock star! But maybe Simmons is just ready to move on, believing there’s wilder news out there for the media to chase after, like a celebrity feud or the latest celebrity diet. Either way, his bandmate Paul Stanley isn’t laughing—he’s stated that Gene is lucky to be alive!
But what could’ve led to this fender-bender in the first place? According to Shannon Tweed, Simmons passed out while driving due to dehydration from new medication. Talk about a plot twist! It seems like, if anything, this incident is a reminder for rock stars and the rest of us: don’t skip the H2O, folks! Now that the dust has settled, how do you think celebrities should respond when the media gets it wrong? Let’s hear your thoughts!
