Simmons was interviewed by TMZ and began by clarifying his opinion on Kanye. “For the record, he’s a talented guy no question about it,” he said before adding, “he’s out of his mind.”
“It’s serious stuff,” he said of West’s attacks on Kardashian on social media. “This is your wife, the mother of your children. It’s not childish, there’s something clinically wrong with him as he’s admitted. There’s a psychological problem.”
As for Pete Davidson? “Pete’s a cool guy,” Simmons said. “[He] takes the high road. Just ignore it.”

Things then took an interesting turn when the KISS bassist said, “At a certain point, if everybody misbehaves, a good b**** slap… Oh! I’m sorry I didn’t realize I was such an a*****e.”
When the reporter asked if that’s what Kanye needs, Simmons asked if she was going to be the one to do it. When she said no, Simmons responded, “it’s possible.”
“It’s like,” he continued. "Guy, you’ve got a roof over your head, you’ve got food in your tummy, you can do whatever you want. Get a hobby. That’s better. Leave him alone, move on. Love your kids, love the mother of your kids, and let her make her own decisions. She’s a growna** woman now and she doesn’t need your permission.”
Anyway, if you were wondering what Gene Simmons’ thoughts on the situation were, well, there you have it.
