KISS AND MAKE UP

The long-running legal battle between Georgeann Walsh Ward and Gene Simmons has been settled.

Walsh-Ward had objected to photos of her dating Simmons appearing on screen during a VH-1 documentary about his life; she said the context (the commentary was talking about Simmon's supposed numerous sexual partners) implied she was no better than a common whore.

The amicable settlement of their differences seems to have had no financial angle:

Simmons denied that any inferences suggested by Ward could be reasonably drawn or understood from the documentary.

"I value my early relationship with Ms. Ward and wish her well," Simmons said in the announcement. "My quotes in the documentary that Ms. Ward took issue with were solely about me, not Ms. Ward or anyone else."
