‘Missing Richard Simmons:’ Close Friend Of Guru Creates Podcast To Seek Answers

A close friend of Sweatin’ To The Oldies innovator Richard Simmons has taken to the internet to inquire why the exercise guru has been missing from the public eye for nearly three years.

Following rumors of a debilitating knee injury that ultimately led to claims that he was being purposely restrained at his Beverly Hills home by his longtime housekeeper, Theresa Reveles, in late 2016, the 63-year-old has since gone on record to deny any wrongdoing by Reveles, while also expressing that he simply stepped away from the spotlight in order to lead a less-stressful lifestyle.
