Richard Simmons Clarifies His Mysterious Tweet That Seemed To Announce He Was ‘Dying’
HuffPost
“I have some news to tell you. Please don’t be sad. I am ….dying,” the fitness icon began a tweet on Monday.
Richard Simmons got social media users working up a sweat.
The beloved fitness personality — who rose to fame in the 1970s and ’80s thanks to his eccentric and energetic personality and his accessible at-home “Sweatin’ to the Oldies” line of aerobics videos — posted a cryptic message Monday on X, formerly Twitter, that confused and concerned a lot of users.
“I have some news to tell you. Please don’t be sad. I am ….dying,” Simmons began his post. “Oh I can see your faces now. The truth is we all are dying. Every day we live we are getting closer to our death. Why am I telling you this?”
Although some wrote off the post as just a joke — especially since Simmons followed up that tweet with a thread of health tips — its wording never specifies whether Simmons is just trying to make light of the fleetingness of life or an actual life-threatening diagnosis.
It was especially bewildering because Richards has been reclusive from public life since 2014, as was pointed out in Dan Taberski’s popular 2017 podcast, “Missing Richard Simmons.”
