Where in the world is Richard Simmons? According to manager Michael Catalano, he's simply at home enjoying his life out of the spotlight. Considering there's been so much attention on Simmons since he decided to take a break, including the wildly popular podcast "Missing Richard Simmons," Catalano is assuring people there's no drama with the iconic fitness guru.
“He was ready to quiet down is what he’s told me, and it doesn’t mean he’s done, but for now, he’s enjoying the time away from the public,” Catalano explains. “There’s no event or any real reason for him to do that, so it’s not like there was some awful thing, a death in the family, something he was having trouble coping with. It was none of that. He’s just enjoying his time.”
The manager goes on to say that he doesn't think all the extra attention on his client is helping. Plus, as far as Catalano is concerned, Simmons doesn't owe anyone an explanation. "He’s earned it,” he adds. “It has to be what he wants. He certainly has the right to write the ending.”
