Star sued over VH1 doc

Georgeann Walsh Ward is suing Gene Simmons, VH1 and owner Viacom for defamation and invasion of privacy over a documentary featuring her photo.

Kiss star Gene Simmons is being sued for slander by a woman who claims a VH1 documentary on the star made her out to be a "sex-addicted nymphomaniac".

New

Yorker Georgeann Walsh Ward, who dated Simmons for three years when he was a college student, says that her photo was flashed up during the VH1 show while Simmons discussed his past sexual encounters (which involved, if Simmons is to be believed, 4600 different women, though not all at once you understand). Being featured alongside Simmons' other one night stands portrayed

Ward, she claims, as being "wild" and "unchaste".

So much so she is suing Simmons and VH1 owner Viacom on the grounds of defamation and invasion of privacy.
