Gene Takes A Trip On X Factor Auditions

Sources say that she actually didn’t tell her parents about the audition until the night before. Gene was supposedly in Las Vegas and Shannon, his wife, was in Los Angeles when Sophie broke the news. She told her dad that she won’t be able to make it to Father’s Day due to the auditions. So, Gene, the ever loving father, flew and went to Oakland instead!

He made it a point to support her daughter during her audition but says that the day wasn’t about him. He wanted the judges to give her daughter a fair shot not just because she was Gene Simmons’ daughter.
