He has been out of the public eye since 2014.
ET said Simmons stopped teaching at his workout studio in 2014, and has been out of the public eye since.
“No one is holding me in my house as a hostage,” Simmons said, per ET. “You know, I do what I want to do as I’ve always done so people should sort of just believe what I have to say because, like, I’m Richard Simmons! “For all the people worrying about me, I want to tell them that I love them with my whole heart and soul and that not to worry, Richard’s fine. You haven’t seen the last of me, I’ll come back, and I’ll come back strong.”
