Gene Simmons is getting a tongue-lashing in the form of a civil suit, as a couple is claiming that the KISS frontman got nasty with them in a Los Angeles mall.
According to reports, Nathan Marlowe and his wife Cynthia Manzo claim that Simmons assaulted them, threatened them, and took their camera after they were caught videotaping him. Marlowe claims he simply asked the rocker about his thoughts on monogamy (Gene allegedly slept with more than 1,000 women), when Gene flew into rage, attacking Marlowe and taking his camera.
The couple are seeking damages of more than $25,000 for civil claims of assault, battery and infliction of emotional distress.
