The documentary by TMZ Investigates sheds light on the heartache behind Richard Simmons’ retreat from public life in 2014.
Allegedly, it was prompted by a health predicament – a knee issue requiring replacement surgery.
Doctors warned that without the surgery, he might never be able to exercise again.
The documentary emphasizes that Simmons now walks with a cane, which has significantly affected his public image. He didn’t want to be seen as an old man.
Despite denying the “disappearance” claims in 2017, Simmons hinted at his poor health as the reason for his absence, trying to put an end to the rumors.
