KISS bandmates were anti-Semitic, claims Paul Stanley

Paul Stanley is reporting that some former members of rock band, KISS, were anti-Semitic.

According to the New York Post, Stanley dished that Ace Frehley and Peter Criss owned a collection of Nazi memorabilia and the two resented Jewish practicing Stanley and Gene Simmons for being the dominant members in creating the band’s music.

In his new memoir, Face the Music: A Life Exposed, Stanley says, “As a result, the two of them tried to sabotage the band – which, as they saw it, was unfairly manipulated by [us] money-grubbing Jews.”

He told the Post that the two’s anti-Semitism were “based on years and years of interactions.”

Dave Frey, Frehley’s manager, told The Huffington Post that the accusations are false.

“Let’s just say that Paul is trying to sell some books,” he said. “It’s definitely not true.” In fact, Frey stated that Frehley’s fiancé, Rachael Gordon is Jewish.

Stanley’s book is set to come out this week right before the band’s induction into the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame.
