When it is announced that Gene Simmons was going to appear as the guest judge on the “Dancing with the Stars,” by the official social media account of the show, people were excited, and also some other people were worried.
Simmons gave feedback after the performance of Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong during the “Hair Metal Night” episode as he said, “Chandler, you fogged up my glasses.”
“You moved me, not just with your gyrations and so on, but your beautiful face and how you were into the emotion of it — top to bottom,” Simmons praised the performance.
A TikTok user shared the moments when Simmons praised Chandler, and also where Simmons also gave feedback to the performance of Danny Amendola and Witney Carson.
“You know this is a brand new experience for me, and it’s difficult to look at both of you and to figure out which one is more hot, hot, hot,” famous rock singer shared.
“Danny, I’m telling you, you’re right next to somebody — one of the most beautiful women on the planet. She makes you look good. Buddy, you gotta hit the gym. You gotta get in there,” Gene Simmons shared.
The same TikTok user also shared a third video from the show, where Simmons was talking about Reginald VelJohnson and Emma Slater’s performance, “You’ve got a beautiful woman right beside you, who can twist it and turn it, and knows how to move it and, you know, all that.”
Then VelJohnson praised Simmons as, “I wanna tell you, as a guy that’s been on the stage for half a century around the world — I’m kind of a big deal, Reggie. It’s all in the attitude and you’ve got something in that beautiful face — they love you!”
People commented under the videos, as some of them were irritated by Simmons’ comments for the performers as one user shared that his comments were “creepy” and “ruined” the episode.
“Worst guest judge! […] His scores were based on physical appearance alone, not skill or talent. Terrible choice ‘DWTS.’ He should not be allowed to judge again!”

When it was announced that Gene Simmons would be appearing as a guest judge on Dancing with the Stars, reactions were mixed. Some viewers were thrilled to see the legendary rock star on the panel, while others expressed concern about how his unconventional persona might mesh with the show’s atmosphere.
Simmons made quite an impression during the “Hair Metal Night” episode, offering praise and feedback to contestants like Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong. He complimented Chandler, saying, “Chandler, you fogged up my glasses,” and went on to laud her performance: “You moved me, not just with your gyrations and so on, but your beautiful face and how you were into the emotion of it — top to bottom.”
These remarks were shared on TikTok, where Simmons’ unfiltered comments quickly became a hot topic. In another clip, he reviewed Danny Amendola and Witney Carson’s performance, making a cheeky remark: “It’s difficult to look at both of you and figure out which one is more hot, hot, hot.” He added, “Danny, I’m telling you, you’re right next to somebody — one of the most beautiful women on the planet. She makes you look good. Buddy, you gotta hit the gym.”
Simmons’ feedback to Reginald VelJohnson and Emma Slater was similar in tone. He complimented VelJohnson for sharing the stage with a talented dancer like Emma, and VelJohnson responded by praising Simmons for his years of experience. “I wanna tell you, as a guy that’s been on the stage for half a century around the world — I’m kind of a big deal, Reggie,” Simmons said, adding that VelJohnson had “something in that beautiful face — they love you!”
However, not everyone appreciated Simmons’ judging style. Some viewers took to social media to express their dissatisfaction, calling his comments “creepy” and saying they detracted from the show. One user commented, “Worst guest judge! […] His scores were based on physical appearance alone, not skill or talent. Terrible choice DWTS. He should not be allowed to judge again!”
The mixed reaction raises an interesting question about whether Simmons’ rock-star persona was a good fit for the judging panel. While his colorful commentary entertained some, others felt it crossed the line.
