Richard Simmons’ Rep Has Once Again Denied That He’s Being Held Hostage By His Housekeeper
In case your ears haven’t gobbled down at least one episode of Missing Richard Simmons, it’s a podcast where one of Richard Simmons’ friends and former customers, filmmaker Dan Taberski, tries to get to the bottom of what happened to the human lighting bolt in a golden dandelion ‘fro.
It’s been over three years since the sun frowned from Richard disappearing from public life and pretty much cutting off his friends. Richard has been living like me (aka never leaves the house and avoids other humans) and he and his rep have released statements saying that he’s got a busted knee and is just staying away from the spotlight for now. Richard’s legendary studio also closed up last year because it needed his presence to survive.
On the third episode of MRS, Dan talked to another one of Richard’s friends, Mauro Oliveira, who once again shared a theory that he shared last year. Mauro believes that Richard’s longtime housekeeper, Teresa Reveles, used her black magic bruja powers to control him. Richard’s rep shit on Mauro’s claims.
It’s The End Of An Era: Richard Simmons’ Studio Is Closing
I almost titled this post “RIP Richard Simmons’ Studio,” but I don’t want to be responsible for the medical bills you’d rack up from going into cardiac arrest after reading, “RIP Richard Simmons.”
TMZ has let us know that if you haven’t already, you will never be able to wipe glitter out of your eyes while watching the magical dandelion in Dolfin shorts, Richard Simmons, sweat the chunk away at his studio in Beverly Hills, CA. Richard hasn’t been seen at his studio for years and now there’s zero chance of him going back since it’s closing its door forever next month. In notices sent to members, Slimmons announced that on November 19th, Los Angeles County will be a lot less glamorous, magical and fun.
Richard Simmons’ Rep Shits On The Rumors That He’s Transitioning Into Fiona Simmons
Tell the likes of Bella Hadid, Kendull Jenner, Jourdan Dunn and Gigi Hadid that they can get out of the unemployment line. They probably figured that their cute little modeling careers are over as soon as they saw that totally real picture of Fiona Simmons giving face and posing better than they ever could. But Richard Simmons’ rep says that “Fiona Simmons” doesn’t exist.
Richard Simmons Was Taken To The Hospital
Remember when I told you to reverse your dramatic wall slide in the previous post? Scratch that. Keep sliding, because former glittery joymaker and current Blanche Hudson impersonator Richard Simmons was taken to the hospital early Saturday morning! Rend your garments and curse the heavens!
According to TMZ, Simmons was taken to Cedars Sinai in LA for an evaluation. Someone at Richard’s home was prompted to call 911 around midnight because Simmons was reportedly exhibiting “strange behavior.”
Richard’s situation has been sort of iffy and mysterious for the past couple of years. He hasn’t been seen in public, and there was concern that his maid was re-enacting Whatever Happened to Baby Jane with Richard and his money. There’s even been talk of voodoo rituals! It’s an upsetting story because Richard is celebrity royalty and his satin short-shorts, sparkle pantyhose, and penchant for flamboyant fun have been lighting up our lives forever!
Simmons himself dialed up Entertainment Tonight and Today back in March to dispute the rumors and explain that he’s just gone into retirement.
Get well soon, Richard Simmons!
P.S. What exactly constitutes “strange behavior” for Richard Simmons? Tweed? Televised golf? What?
UPDATE: Richard was released from Cedars Sinai on Saturday. TMZ says that he was reportedly evaluated for a possible stroke or dementia because his housekeeper said that he was incoherent. Stay tuned?
