TMZ investigated the circumstances surrounding Simmons’ disappearance from the public eye in a recent documentary that was broadcast on FOX. The video featured interviews with a few individuals who were familiar with Simmons.
Interviews with Suzanne Somers, writer Bruce Vilanch, and Leslie Wilshire, who has worked as a costume designer for Gene Simmons for many years, were included in the special.
