DWTS’ Chandler Kinney and Phaedra Parks throw shade at Gene Simmons

Dancing with the stars Participant Chandler Kinney And Phaedra Parks threw a lot of shade at the youngest guest juror Gene Simmons.

Kinney, 24, shared a video via TikTok on Sunday, October 13, that features her and DWTS Partner Brandon Armstrong with Parks, 50, and Val Chmerkovskiywith a text overlay that reads, “We’ll be listening to the guest judge’s comments and ratings all night long.” In the clip, the group all sing along to the rapper’s viral sound Cardi B says, “That’s suspicious, that’s strange.”

Another video shared by Parks on Sunday showed this Real Housewives of Atlanta Star and Armstrong reenact their interview from October 8th Page Six After Simmons gave her performance a five out of ten rating, it was met with boos from the crowd. (The other judges had all awarded Parks sevens.)

“I guess he didn’t like little black women,” she joked.

During the interview, Parks also shared that she “loved the routine” and thought “we did good even though Gene Simmons was a total idiot.”

Parks and Chmerkovskiy weren’t the only dancers who received a surprisingly low score from Simmons. The 75-year-old Kiss singer and bassist appeared as a guest judge on the October 8 episode of Dancing with the stars and provided some heavy soundtracks for the show’s Hair Metal Night. He surprised his fellow judges, actors and the audience when he honored the former Bachelorette Jenn Tran and her partner, Sasha Farbera low score for their routine.

“Well, there’s no doubt that you two make a hot couple,” Simmons told the dancers. “Sasha is great, like a professional does every day, but all the pressure is on you. I have to say that not only were you beautiful, but you delivered.”

Despite this praise, Simmons added, “Don’t hate me,” giving the two a score of seven while the other judges gave them eights. (Tran and Farber had danced to Europe’s “The Final Countdown.”)
