Who would have thunk it??? ------------------------------------- http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/03/25/simmons.cite.ap/index.html PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) -- Exercise guru Richard Simmons allegedly slapped a man who made a sarcastic remark about one of his videos, police said. Simmons, known for his "Sweatin' to the Oldies" series of exercise videos set to songs from the 1950s and '60s, was cited for misdemeanor assault. A fellow passenger recognized Simmons on Wednesday night at Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport as he was waiting for a flight to Los Angeles, police said. The man "made the off-hand comment, 'Hey, everybody. It's Richard Simmons. Let's drop our bags and rock to the '50s,"' said Phoenix police Sgt. Tom Osborne. "Mr. Simmons took exception to it and walked over to the other passenger and apparently slapped him in the face." The passenger, whose identity wasn't immediately available, wasn't injured but told police that he intended to file charges against Simmons, 55. Osborne said Simmons was cited for misdemeanor assault and permitted to board his flight.
This was market research for his new exercise program, "Slappin old fogies." I guess it is not going as planned.
I heard this on the radio this morning and fell off of my chair, laughing hysterically. Talk about getting b**** slapped...or would that be slapped by a b****???
You have to figure that Richard Simmons puts up with a LOT of ****. It's a wonder he hasn't gone postal yet.
hmmm... that chick in the long sleeved blue shirt is barking up the wrong tree. and why are the two chicks behind richard staring at his arse?
Lets hope this guy gets not a penny out of this and is forever known as the wanker who got b****slapped by Richard Simmons. May his friends never let him live this down.
