Richard Simmons Spox: No, He's Not Actually *Dying*-Dying

On Monday, a statement was shared on Simmons’ verified Facebook page in which he wrote, “I have some news to tell you. Please don’t be sad. I am ….dying. 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.”

Amid speculation on his health spurred by that post, Simmons’ spokesperson Tom Estey tells The Hollywood Reporter, “I can confirm with 100 percent certainty that Richard is not dying. He’s, in fact, very healthy and happy. The sole purpose of the post was meant to be inspirational.”
