Exercise guru Richard Simmons cited for assault

[Disfan1]

I LOVE Richard Simmons! He has helped me lose 65 lbs. Some people think it's OK to make fun of others. I wish I knew the whole story - I wonder if that guy was doing a goofy workout pantomine when he made that comment. It does seem a little over the top to slap someone just because of that comment.

That wasn't very wise I wonder if there is more to the story we don't know about. Even if there is, that just wasn't a wise thing to do.

I read the story and agree the guy was rude to make the comments, but it doesn't give Richard Simmons the right to slap the guy. Bottom line ----- it's assault.

Of course its wrong to slap somebody for a comment.

But I still can't respect a guy who files charges over taking a slap from Richard Simmons.

Well, if you cry foul long enough and loud enough there is always the chance the celebrity will pay you to shut up.


Seriously though, I am going to wait until the whole story is out before getting my knickers in a knot. Even the news story says "APPARENTLY slapped". Sounds to me like the journalist was covering his you know what in case the story took a different turn.

Go Richard! I think after all these years of being teased and made fun of because of his videos and his extremely high-energy personality, he finally just had about enough, ya know?

Me...I love him. I have Sweatin To the Oldies I that (prepregnancy)I would alternate with my yoga video.
