After a bizarre visit to Fox News headquarters in Manhattan, Kiss frontman Gene Simmons has been permanently banned from appearing on any of the network's shows, The Daily Beast's Lloyd Grove reports.
Simmons was a frequent guest on various Fox News shows, espousing his conservative views. On Wednesday, he promoted his new book, On Power, on Fox & Friends and Fox Business Network's Mornings with Maria, but things took a weird turn as he got ready to do an interview with FoxNews.com. A Fox News employee told Grove that unannounced and uninvited, Simmons burst into a staff meeting, yelling, "Hey chicks, sue me!" He then yanked open his red velvet shirt, showing off his chest and stomach, and began telling jokes about Michael Jackson and pedophilia.
