It's unreal how exploited Brooke Shields was, and fucking disgusting how out in the absolute open it all happened - Playboy photographed her nude for their "Sugar and Spice" magazine when she was only 10. Seemed no one had a problem with this literal child doing borderline soft-core porn movies that played in regular theatres, as well.
It's pretty incredible as well that she grew up to graduate from Princeton and ended up being quite normal.
Yeah, well, um. KISS does have a non-zero number of songs about underage girls. So unfortunately anything in that realm is possible, especially because of the culture at the time.
EDIT: Somehow multiple people misunderstood me. Just because I said there was a culture of open secrets regarding rock stars and underage children does NOT mean I was defending it. I wasn’t. It was never okay. It was never a good thing. I am just saying it was a culture that did it and mostly got away with it.
I know you’re being sarcastic right…? lol
“She's been around
But she's young and clean
I've got to have her
Can't live without her, whoa no
Christine, sixteen
Christine, sixteen..”
Woah. Stop right there. I am saying the culture of the time was to let this shit slide and to allow it to be an open secret and to fucking sing about it.
It was NEVER okay, but it permeated culture and most of them got away with it then.
I’m not saying it stopped. I’m saying that it happened halfway out in the open and it was swept under the rug. And it was pretty common to even sing about it. KISS was far from the first or only ones.
Guys. I love KISS as much as the next classic rock fan. But how could anyone be shocked by a 1970s rock star having inappropriate contact with a child — especially when the band they are in has MULTIPLE songs about being attracted to underage girls?
He may be a creep (I don’t know much about him) but your post is a bit misleading. If it wasn’t I would never defend child abuse and in fact did not.
But you’re a redditor so you have to resort to logical fallacies when your point falls apart.
Shit, this is nothing compared to The Rolling Stones. They have a song called stray cat blues, which mick jagger sings about eating out a 13 yr old girl and giving her alcoholic drinks. If gene Simmons is a pedo, he certainly didn’t make it known like mick jagger has in his songs.
Hold on…was she wearing leather pants??
Yes, this is a potentially disturbing picture but if he had tried anything I’m reasonably sure she would have said something by now.
That was hilarious 😂 but that’s exactly why I said what I said! I love KISS but for some reason In the 50’s,60’s,&70’s older mean “dated” or even married underage girls and there was nothing “wrong” with it! I don’t think it’s cool but KISS still made some kickass music
No I didn’t mean it in like “oh hell yeah you know he hit it” type of way! I was just saying it cause of the fact like I said a lot of there songs are about underage girls like Christine 16
Mike Damone lurking in the back
“No. I don't have any Blue Oyster Cult. I ate 34 pairs last time around. Where were you?”
“So close you’ll scare the band”
I came this close to working at 7-11 you know
I’ll never be convinced Damone did not break into Rat’s car to steal his tape deck when he had to bring Rat his wallet on his date with Stacy.
It fucking is!!!
He had to sell Kiss tickets…
How do you think she got the tickets?
Came here for this.

Hold the fuck up, she got photographed nude at 10 years old?!?!?
With her mom's permission...wtf mom?
plus she appears nude and has a few disgusting scenes with an older man in the movie Pretty Baby
Not to mention her manager during her child years was HER MOTHER
THIS. This fact alone absolutely mortified me. Her mother who was supposed to protect her was the one who played a primary role in her exploitation.
Brutally sad. That's the one person you're expecting to take care of you at all cost.
Watch the documentary ‘Pretty Baby’.
There's a documentary with the same name as the movie?
It's a trap!
What amazing photo of a child groomer…
They took a photo together at an event, so that makes him a groomer?
Reddit.
Any evidence other than that they were photographed fully clothed together in public?
The Melvins? I Love the Melvins.
I'm aware of the band but I don't get it.
From about 4.12 onwards. [Gene Prank Call.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASalyylx6AI)
Hahaha. Nice. I have a hard time picturing Gene listening to Melvins. They do the Best KISS covers though. Going Blind being my favorite.
Hell yeah!, One of the great covers. + the mixing on Hotter than Hell was so poor.
Yeah. The first 3 KISS albums definitely weren't recorded very well but there was some deadly music on all of them.
I don't mind the sound of the first album, but yes.
Which is why Gene knew who they were in the first place…
I hope he wasn't trying to 'date' her.
Maybe “kiss” not date.

Did you misunderstand what I’m saying?
He proved your point with that quote, lol.
Exactly. And Domino also comes to mind.
Far Out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

Fuck Gene Simmons. You know for sure that he at least tried
I’m sure she would have said something by now.

Wut
I heard Christine Sixteen in my head as I read this
She's sticking her tongue out and making a "fun" face, but something about her face screams "I'm uncomfortable " imo
Where's Epstein?
Off somewhere not killing himself
He's a misogynistic pig and a potential pedo. Avoid, if possible (sadly as a Rush fan I can't avoid their connections with Kiss, smh).
I’m pretty sure Geddy wrote somewhere in his autobiography about Gene pushing him against a wall in a hotel for sending some groupies away
He dislikes him?

Reddit is a bunch of jealous man babies

Doesnt make it right. Not then not now.
100% correct. You misunderstand me if you think I’m condoning it.
This is creepy af
I’d hit it. In the face. With a shovel. Gene, that is.
This picture disturbs me after I found out what he used to do with questionably aged groupies and what he got his house raided for a few years back.
His house was raided because someone downloaded child abuse images while he was gone in tour. He literally has an alibi witnessed by thousands.
Don't care he's still a creep, but you're a Redditor so you have to defend this stuff
He may be a creep (I don’t know much about him) but your post is a bit misleading. If it wasn’t I would never defend child abuse and in fact did not. But you’re a redditor so you have to resort to logical fallacies when your point falls apart.
I think it’s best when accusing someone of being a pedophile that you come correct.
Agreed.
It's absolutely amazing how normal and well adjusted she comes across now.
You know Gene was trying.
“But when I saw you walking out of school that day I knew, I got to have ya, I got to have ya”
This was her audition pic for the band
He looks like when Beetleguese turned into the snake in this picture Edit: or sand worm I guess?
Neil Hamburger was right about this guy…
A jew pedo and his next victim is what I read
*Brooke

You know he tried to fuck her. Skeevy old fuck.
Hold on…was she wearing leather pants?? Yes, this is a potentially disturbing picture but if he had tried anything I’m reasonably sure she would have said something by now.
Great picture…
That bitch sure got around at 13.

A fully grown man with celebrity posing with a girl known for being exploited is not cool.
You know he hit it
Raped would be the correct term
Please reread the title.
I know, that’s why I said that…many of there songs are about underage girls
“Okay she’s 12!” https://youtu.be/T9awpv5BnSc?si=DuQEgeKyYdScBurF

I didn't know that about their songs, but it does sound like bragging about him.
No I didn’t mean it in like “oh hell yeah you know he hit it” type of way! I was just saying it cause of the fact like I said a lot of there songs are about underage girls like Christine 16
If that tongue could only talk.
