Just days after Katey Sagal revealed her long ago affair with Gene Simmons, the KISS frontman hit the red carpet with wife Shannon Tweed and packed on the PDA.
Gene and Shannon shared a kiss for the cameras at the “Power Rangers” premiere in L.A., which they attended with their children, Nick, 28, and Sophie, 24.
In Sagal's new memoir, “Grace Notes: My Recollections,” she writes about her relationship with Simmons.
Sagal and Simmons reportedly met at a Santa Monica bar, where she worked as a singing waitress in the 1970s. She wrote, "At first, I thought Gene was really weird. I took him home with me that night because he was quite persuasive, and I like men.”
According to the former “Married with Children” star, who even recorded backing vocals for Simmons' 1978 debut solo album, the affair lasted for a few years and ended when she told him that she was going to marry Paul Butterfield Blues Band bassist Freddie Beckmeier.
After the book was released, Gene's daughter Sophie slammed Katey for her revelation, telling “Allegedly with Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss” on Tuesday, "To write about someone and then have it affect their family, I feel like is a really kind of low place to sell a book. I mean, congrats to the one groupie who thought they got ahead, but apparently didn't.”
