Richard Simmons Is Okay!

TMZ exclusively reports that the LAPD paid a visit to Richard Simmons' home on Friday night, and Simmons is just fine! Simmons has not been seen in public for a year, and he has also cut off his friends. One of his concerned friends contacted the LAPD's Elder Abuse Unit, which triggered the visit. The LAPD reported that Simmons answered the door himself, showed the officers in, and was very gracious. He appeared articulate, lucid, relaxed, and he appreciated that they were concerned about him. The officers stayed for an hour to chat with Simmons, who now sports a beard and walks with a slight limp due to his knee injury. Simmons told the officers that he was simply exhausted of living life in the public eye, and he is in touch with the people in his life that he wishes to remain there. When questioned about his absence at his fitness studio, Simmons is reported to have replied, "I've got people who run things. I don't need to be there."
