Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed breaking up... contrived or real?

on a side tangent...it pains me to see the level of cosmetic surgery Shannon is doing to her face. Her lips looked soooo fake and puffy in last night's episode. She is so gorgeous; she doesn't need to do this stuff.

In both the episode and interview, when Shannon was getting visibly upset; Gene, not once, reached out and held her hand or even attempted to show he loved her.

Well, that ONE time when she packed her travel bag, he gave her a hug and said he'd go see a shrink...but I didn't FEEL he was being open...

well, being a long time KISS fan at heart - I saw that interview and the episode of Fam Jewels last night...made me kinda wonder if it was a mis-mash of truth and reality tv.
I can totally understand if Shannon is finally fed up with his persona...if in fact, he really is out getting it on with every chic he meets.
I feel; Shannon is his rock, his life. They really come off to me as genuine.

IF those tears and attitude reflect true feelings; then Gene needs to focus on family.

I'd have no quams if he retired, threw in the towel and said goodbye to KISS.

All KISS fans have that story where they say..."KISS was always there for me when i was 16 and my girlfriend left me, my parents hated me, life sucked".

Well, time to turn the tables (if all this is true) and the fans let Genie take a break.

I love her movies. She has.. great skin.

As for this.. bleech ~ It's all publicity. Tweed knows cash income from DVD sales when she smells it (especially her 'direct-to-DVD' movies..) and 'Jewels' will keep the cashcow fed. It's orchestrated to gain attention.

She's no fool.., other than pickin' guys to marry.

contrived, Shannon tweeted last night about watching the hockey game and then going to gene's speech

Interesting article on the two below. It includes two interviews. One where Tweed walks off the stage. The other she berates Gene nonstop. This is also happening on the "reality" show 'Jewels'. So the obvious question: Who the h*ll goes on an interview campaign to illustrate you no longer get along with your significant other? I think it's completely contrived. Gene is not the kind of personality that would take the back hand in public lightly. And he seems to take this fairly well.

For comparison, I have included an interview during the Revenge era when Paul is completely putting him down. Gene stops the interview. Quite the contrast between that and what is going on now.
