August 24, 2009, 15 years ago
TMZ is reporting:
Former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent has sued the band several times since he left the group back in 1984 - but this time he's thrown a cable network into the mix.
Vincent is suing the band, along with A&E; Television Networks, for using his image without his permission. According to a lawsuit filed earlier this month, Vincent claims his image was used in a DVD boxed set called KISSology Volume II. In addition to that, Vincent claims his image image was used as part of the 'roast' episode of A&E;'s show Gene Simmons Family Jewels.
Vincent also claims Simmons defamed him on an A&E; show called Private Sessions, though he doesn't specify what defamatory statements were made.
Vincent is seeking unspecified damages.
