Gene Simmons is seen stepping out in LA for the first time after his “creepy” appearance on Dancing With The Stars

Gene Simmons was spotted for the first time after being attacked for his “creepy” comments during an appearance on Dancing With The Stars.

The 75-year-old KISS frontman and bassist performed in Los Angeles on Wednesday wearing a black shirt with blue jeans and white sneakers.

His black hair was covered with a baseball cap and he protected his eyes with sunglasses.

The rocker was holding a cell phone as he navigated a parking lot on foot.

Simmons was a guest judge on ABC's “Dancing With the Stars” for “Hair Metal Night,” but ultimately angered many fans.

Gene Simmons, 75, was spotted for the first time after being attacked for his “creepy” comments during a recent appearance on Dancing With The Stars

He joined judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli on Tuesday's episode, which featured dances to '80s hair metal hits like Cherry Pie, Rock You Like a Hurricane and more.

However, fans weren't too thrilled with Simmons' sexually suggestive comments, with many claiming he was the worst guest judge in the show's 33 seasons.

Even host Alfonso Ribeiro seemed to disagree with Simmons and responded with a rather snarky comment.

When Simmons commented on a performance, he usually commented on the dancer's appearance, which many viewers described as “creepy.”

He told Danny Amendola and Witney Carson he couldn't figure out what was “hotter, hotter, hotter.”

He called Reginald VelJohnson's partner Emma Slater “a beautiful woman” and said that Chandler Stevens “fogged up my glasses” and that she “touched me not only with your movements and such, but also with your beautiful face.”

Many took to social media on Tuesday to express their frustration, such as @gray_dwts, who said: “From sweet Ilona messing up to the torture that tortured her even more during elimination , to Chandler's underscoring, to practically 500 million times he's seen the same dance, to this bullseye. “*creepy judge gene, that night was a CHOP.”

@bambiisugars added: “Gene Simmons was the worst guest judge on Dancing with the Stars…” I guess there was definitely entertaining television.'

Another Why didn't a producer tell him to break up?'

@MCMiddleton addressed Ribeiro's comment near the end of the show, which he made after Phaedra Parks and Val Chmerkovskiy's routine.

Simmons said, “I'm a big fan of the bad boy and the bad girl,” and when Phaedra reacted, Gene said, “Calm down.” It's a family show. Calm.

A seemingly incredulous Ribeiro said, “Oh, now you care,” which drew applause from the rest of the jury and crowd.

@MCMiddleton tweeted: “NOW you care!” “Bro, Alfonso does NOT like Gene Simmons.”

@_DemarestEthan replied: “I LOVE Alfonso for this – Gene was such an idiot all night and pitifully singled out the POC…” DWTS, please don't ever invite this man again.

@niyah_oliver said: “Craziest crossdressers night ever. Let’s maybe never have Gene Simmons back again, please and thank you.”

@bravoholic_ said: “During the commercial breaks, the producers of #DWTS should have told Mr. Gene Simmons to stop commenting on all the women's looks.” I've only seen three dances so far and I'm over his irrelevant comments about the women, even though he was supposed to be commenting/'judging' their dances!'

Many took to social media on Tuesday to express their frustration. One commenter called Gene a “fucking scary judge.”

“Sorry, Gene Simmons ruined it for me.” Judge – No. What a misstep here...his true face bled out on the show...ugh'

As a result, there was also a double elimination of two fan favorites: Reginald VelJohnson and Eric Roberts.

“Dancing With the Stars” returns next week with Dedication Night on Tuesday, October 15th and Disney Night on Tuesday, October 22nd.
