In one instance of extreme dedication, Simmons stuck around to take photos with fans after a car ran over his foot and he needed serious medical attention! They would exercise on the boat daily, and have abundant healthy food available to eat for the duration of the cruise.
Most importantly, this cruise was an event where some obese people could get a hug from Richard, giving them some badly-needed love. When he was growing up, people would call him Dickie. Eventually, that morphed into Richard. In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times , Richard explained that his birth name was due to a deal made with a rich uncle. If Richard was to be named after his uncle, it was promised that his college education would be paid for.
However, the tables were turned when he got his own talk show, The Richard Simmons Show , a variety show which had a successful four-year run.
The show featured Richard doing interviews, cooking healthy food, and of course, exercising slash dancing with a group of followers. These items are also pretty easy to find, so dressing up as Richard Simmons for Halloween has been a last-minute costume for many people, as well as popular in the DIY community. Although it would be hard to find a tank top that is actually studded with crystals, wearing a regular tank top and exuding a lot of energy makes the costume work.
Richard has been hiding in his home for years now, not speaking to anyone. Some of the rare times he leaves the house was when was called. These were health issues, but police have come to his house twice regarding potential crimes. They are so close that Simmons bought her a Mercedes. The shocking accusation of how the year-old Mexican woman was allegedly keeping Richard under her thumb was unbelievable to most.
Since Richard is extremely flamboyant, and he did allegedly ask that Slimmons male customers go shirtless during workouts, there have been many allegations that Richard is a homosexual.
When asked about it, he deflects, trying to steer the topic away from relationships. In February , something happened at Slimmons that never happened before. Richard did not show up. And again the next week, and the next week, he was absent. The regulars were baffled, until a sign went up explaining that Richard was having knee issues and would be back next month, but he never showed. Slimmons closed its doors after over 40 years in , and Richard still did not show!
Richard at one point owned an immense amount of dogs: eight dalmatians! The pack of dogs has sadly dwindled to one last dalmatian named Hattie. A former associate, Mauro Oliveira, alleges that may have contributed to a mental breakdown.
Mauro also makes a far-fetched claim about housekeeper Teresa Reveles. Former associate Mauro Oliveira makes the claim that Richard Simmons has been kept hostage by Teresa Reveles, his year-old housekeeper. Since Richard became reclusive in , a new addition was made to his Los Angeles mansion: a six-foot-high fence, that does not seem to have a buzzer.
Are these prison walls? Oliveira says they are. Mauro also says that this in-effect kidnapping is only possible because Teresa is using black magic and witchcraft to control Richard. Simmons denied these claims over the phone. Since Richard only called with no video to deny the claims that he was kidnapped and under a spell, it is thought that he perhaps was only saying so under duress. Sounds outlandish, but the police got concerned. Richard has clearly gone out of his way to avoid the public.
After he was released from the hospital for his mysterious bout of indigestion, he went above and beyond to avoid the paparazzi who had gathered outside his house. After the 15 minute drive, he sat in the driveway of his house, waiting for people to help him block the photographers.
Eventually, LAPD officers, his manager, and housekeeper Teresa Reveles helped cover Simmons with a blanket, so all the paparazzi could see was his signature New Balance sneakers. Simmons had his libel lawsuit against the National Enquirer thrown out of court, as the Judge ruled that being labeled as transgender is not inherently offensive on its own.
Simmons is planning to appeal the ruling. It was devastating to Richard Simmons as well as members of the transgender community to have their struggles trivialized in the courtroom. Transgender folks are currently being discriminated against in the military, and much controversy exists surrounding the use of gendered bathrooms.
After graduating from high school, he entered a Dominican seminary in Iowa and stayed for nearly two years before leaving. He also had stints as a cosmetics executive and fashion illustrator before finding his niche in the fitness industry, opening the Anatomy Asylum exercise studio in Eventually, he recovered and developed a new philosophy : "Love yourself, move your body and watch your portions.
Before Simmons slimmed down, he was enjoying the cuisine of Florence, Italy, where he was studying art in the late s. No video store in the s was complete without a section devoted to fitness. In almost all of these releases, perfectly-proportioned motivators and models led viewers through rigorous workout routines.
Early in his mission to eliminate excess adipose tissue, Simmons admitted to confronting total strangers over some of their dietary choices. In , syndicated TV distributor Lorimar attempted to capitalize on the home-shopping craze with ValueTelevision , a one-hour show where viewers could place orders via the telephone for featured products. The series was co-hosted by Jeopardy! When the ratings were less than Lorimar anticipated, they fired Trebek and replaced him with Simmons.
