What happened to Richard Simmons?

[Tryharder62]

Friends haven't seen him in 3 years. I met him once at a women't lifestyle fair. He made his assistant get me some water. He didn't want me to get dehydrated My theory is that he is unwell and doesn't want to have that be how he is remembered. Take care Richard!!!

Who cares?

Who cares?

Ummmm.. people who like Richard Simmons?

 

[pointless]

he made a statement last yearish saying he was okay, but he didn't want to see anyone. perhaps he just got sick of being the butt of everyone else's jokes.

especially the gay ones since he clearly wasn't comfortable with those.

and i didn't read your link because i've read a few already. that's enough for me.

I like the guy so I hope he's ok but I'm thinking he's not. I read that the cops went to his house not too long ago for a welfare check and they said he was fine and just didn't want to go out. My guess is sick but maybe he really is just tired of the whole thing.

He did come out and say "I want people to forget about me" and then said "I will be back stronger and better".


I remember when he started he used to come talk shows to be the clown, the one everyone makes fun of and he pretends he doesn't realize it etc.

My take is he got fed up with that holding on to his image and grew up and wants to change it.

I actually knew someone who got one of his Deal-A-Meal things back in the day.

Wonder how much money he made from that enterprise. It'd probably be an app now, but it's too late to cash in on the name.

Remember when he was on, "whose line Is it anyway." Best episode ever.

I bet he's in hiding from ISIS - just like miles and vetteman.

Sounds like he's clinically depressed.

And he was once so cheerful and bouncy and perky! Strange!

He made his money. Maybe he was do e with the spotlight. I say leave him alone. This whole faux concern is a fucking joke anyway. Whoever started it doesn't truly give a fuck.

I'm amazed he made it through the 80s/90s without getting AIDS.

Funny reading this thread. I was listening to NPR yesterday and they were talking about a podcast called "Missing Richard Simmons".

Here's the link to the NPR article. As I mentioned, this thread is a coincidence, the article is from March 21st.

Because he exercised in short shorts? Somehow I can understand that you would believe that's how someone got AIDS. You appear to be that dumb.

Why, did you fuck him?

 

[Tryharder62]

He reminds me of Robin Williams in a way. So out there and full of life. Gave us fat chicks some attention along the way!!!!

Simmons never pinged your gaydar?!

Hey Rob.

Did you cut your toenails yet?

Or maybe that's your main sex- appeal. All those sexual contests that you keep bragging about must really dig guys with toenails that look almost calcified.
