Gene Simmons Confronts His 'Father' In an Exercise on 'Family Jewels' (VIDEO)
Gene Simmons got into a pretty uncomfortable place at Marriage Bootcamp on 'Gene Simmons Family Jewels' (Mon., 9PM ET on A&E). But, he's proved that he's committed to changing and being a better man and future husband to Shannon Tweed, and so he stuck with it even when things got difficult.In an exercise, one of the men there posed as Gene's dad, to try and help him work through his emotions there. In the exercise, Gene did learn something valuable about the anger and resentment he feels toward his father for abandoning the family.
After Gene admitted that the exercise was making him want to get physical and push the guy posing as his father back, the guy challenged him. As his father, he said, "If you could take a slug across my face right now, would it get rid of the anger?"
Gene realized and had to admit that it wouldn't. "I forgive you for walking out on me," he was able to concede. "But I will never forgive you for walking out on my mother."
