He's notoriously stayed out of the spotlight which spawned conspiracy theories Richard Simmons hasn't been seen publicly since 2014, but nine years later he's issued a statement through his representative in time for his 75th birthday. "This is a big milestone. I just want to see him happy, which he is," his rep Tom Estey said about Richard's birthday milestone. While the words didn't come directly from his mouth, it's the first time in a long while that the former fitness guru has allowed a statement about him go out.
