Richards Simmons has been in hiding since 2014, and we don’t know why. So TMZ did a special TMZ Investigates: What Really Happened to Richard Simmons. In that investigation, they say that he became a recluse due to a bad knee and a painful birth defect in his foot.
I am assuming they might’ve gotten it right because today there was a message on The Weight Saint’s Facebook supposedly from him. He wrote, “Thank you, everyone, for your kindness and love! ❤️. Love, Richard.”
Is it really Simmons? We don’t know. I hope so. And I hope he decided to resurface because he has been missed.
