Police Make Welfare Check on Richard Simmons — He’s ‘Perfectly Fine'

The police stopped by Richard Simmons' home two weeks ago to check on the fitness guru, TMZ reports.

Sources told the site that Los Angeles Police Department officers spoke with Richard and believed he was of "sound mind and perfectly fine."

There is renewed interest in Simmons' whereabouts after his former friend Dan Taberski started the popular “Missing Richard Simmons” podcast.

Simmons has not been seen in public for 1,100 days, according to People magazine.

Last week, a former friend of Simmons made wild claims about the 68-year-old on the podcast, while the star's rep vehemently denied the rumors.

Mauro Oliveira, Richard's former friend and masseur, told Taberski that he confronted the 68-year-old over reports his housekeeper Teresa Reveles was controlling his life.

“It was 6 p.m., and I went into his house,” Oliveira said of the last time he saw his friend in May 2014. “He was sitting in the living room, and he was very weak physically and mentally. He was trembling. He said, 'Mauro, I called you here because we cannot see each other anymore. I'm just going to stay here.' I thought of the worst. I thought the worst was going to happen. I thought he was suicidal.”

When Reveles realized Mauro was in the house, “She started screaming like a witch, 'No, no, no, no — get out, get out! I don't want him here!' Richard looked at me and said, 'You got to go.' I said, 'Really? Is she controlling your life now?' and he said yes. And that I have to leave.”

Meanwhile, Simmons' rep Tom Estey told People the claim was a “complete load of crap” and that the star was just taking a break from the spotlight. The magazine's attempts to reach Reveles were unsuccessful.
