Simmons in trouble

Gene Simmons

A woman who says she is a former girlfriend of Kiss rocker Gene Simmons is suing him for slander, saying the bass guitarist made her sound like a sex-addicted nymphomaniac during a televised "rockumentary".

Georgeann Walsh Ward, 53, of Chester, New York, says in court papers that a photo of her appeared 11 times during the report on Kiss in which Simmons claimed to have had sexual encounters with 4600 women.

In the documentary When Kiss Ruled The World, Simmons commented that "there wasn't a girl that was off limits, and I enjoyed every one of them".

Ward's papers say she was in effect portrayed as "wild" and "unchaste".
