“Dancing With the Stars” contestant Phaedra Parks shakes off the drastically low score she received from guest judge Gene Simmons.

During Tuesday’s Hair Metal Night, the KISS rocker gave the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star and her professional partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, a “5” out of “10” for their rock ‘n’ roll paso doble set theme to “You Give Love a Bad Name” by Bon Jovi.

Parks, 50, and Chmerkovskiy, 38, seemed visibly shocked by the low score — especially as local judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli unanimously held up a scorecard of “7.”

“I loved the routine, and I think we did a good job even though Gene Simmons was a total ding-a-ling,” Parks told Page Six’s Desiree Murphy exclusively in the ballroom on Tuesday night.

The “Traitors” alum went on to praise Chmerkovskiy for being a “great coach,” while reiterating that she “loved the routine” and the reigning mirrorball champion’s fun choreography.

“I thought he (Simmons) didn’t like little black women,” Parks joked as he continued to criticize the rock icon.

Chmerkovskiy chimed in, jokingly adding, “It’s always fun to have a guest judge in the ballroom.”

Meanwhile, fans watching the show took to social media to X to express their outrage at the low score, with many calling the moment ‘wild’.

“Gene giving Phaedra’s dance a 5 tonight is WILD. What the f-k,” one person argued.

“When I tell you I almost fell off my chair when Gene picked up the 5 for Phaedra and Val 💀 💀,” another person shared.

“I think Phaedra Parks shouldn’t be allowed to hit Simons if they want to,” someone candidly joked.

Another viewer wrote: “I can’t watch this show knowing that gen phaedra gave it a 5 jsjsjdjdjd.”

Parks and Chmerkovskiy went all out for their routine, rocking statement wigs, grunge costumes and makeup to match the Hair Metal Night theme.

“Of course I give Tina Turner, the ultimate rocker, the ultimate iconic woman, you know? So I was extremely excited. I like a theme. I love a costume,” Parks told Page Six.

The Bravolebrity told us it took about “two hours” to get all dolled up for the big night.

Meanwhile, Chmerkovskiy joked that he “gave Stevie Nicks icon” with his frizzy blonde rocker wig.

Despite their low score from Simmons, the dance duo still received enough viewer votes to advance to next week’s Dedication Night.

“I love this night because we really get to shed some light on some intimate things with our celebrities,” Chmerkovskiy told us about what to expect from the all-new episode.

Parks also revealed that she will dedicate the dance to her mother, Regina Bell.

“My whole family is coming out next week,” she teased. “I’m super excited, so it will be very special. It will be super special.”

And next week, the two won’t have to worry about any low scores from Simmons, as former “Dancing With the Stars” pro Mark Ballas will take his place as guest judge.

“Mark is a master of this craft, not only from the TV standpoint of ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ but also from the ballroom,” Chmerkovskiy said of his longtime friend, who won the trophy three times while competing as a professional. show participated. dancer. “I’m curious about his opinion. I think he’s very creative, he has a lot of insight into choreography, into storytelling and into technical things. I’m excited.”
