Yesterday, former fitness guru Richard Simmons gave his fans a huge scare. The man who brought the world “Sweatin’ to the Oldies” had everyone sweatin’ to his posts on X and Facebook, which mentioned that he's "dying.” Richard encouraged everyone to cherish every moment and to “enjoy life to the fullest.” This sent his fans into a tailspin! They flooded his social media with condolences and well wishes. One person even begged Oprah to help Richard. So Richies, what’s really going on here? We’re all "dying" to know.
