Tae Bo Creator Billy Blanks Expects Richard Simmons To Return 'Soon'

Billy Blanks, the creator of Tae Bo believes Richard Simmons will be back 'soon'.

The Los Angeles police have checked on elusive workout guru Richard Simmons of being fine, despite the rumor that he was captivated as a hostage.

Richard may return to the public eye soon, according to Tae Bo master Billy Blanks.

Blanks said he trusts his 70-year-old fitness companion, who hasn't had an open appearance since 2014, will make a rebound after having some effort to think about himself.

"I think he needed that private time ... to get (himself) together. I think that's what he's doing and I think soon he'll be back," Blanks said in an interview Sunday with The Blast.

Simmons' representative Tom Estey refused to comment to USA TODAY on Blanks' remarks.

The Tae Bo creator clarified Simmons may have dropped off the open radar something about 10 years ago to make himself a top need after quite a while of helping others.

One of the people Simmons helped inspire was Blanks, who credited the famous fitness instructor with inspiring him to create his own exercise program.

Interest in Simmons' abrupt retreat from public life re-emerged in February 2017 following the smash podcast "Missing Richard Simmons,"  in which his previous companion Dan Taberski researched Simmons' disconnection. During the web recording's run, Los Angeles police made a health check to the fitness superstar's home and reported Simmons was "fine."

In April 2017, Simmons reemerged on Facebook days after an alleged report of being hospitalized for serious acid reflux to guarantee fans that he's OK, saying thanks to well-wishers for their worry.

"Aren’t you sick of hearing and reading about me?!" Richard joked. "Well, by now you know that I’m not 'missing,' just a little under the weather. I’m sure I will be feeling good and back home in a couple of days."

Richard Simmons is popular for his work of advancing health improvement plans, most unmistakably through his Sweatin' to the Oldies line of high impact exercise recordings, and is known for his unpredictable, ostentatious, and vivacious character.

Simmons started his weight reduction profession by opening a rec center called Slimmons in Beverly Hills, California, obliging the overweight, and he turned out to be broadly known through a presentation on TV and through the prominence of his customer items. He is regularly spoofed and was a continuous visitor in generally night TV and radio-television shows, for example, "the Late Show with David Letterman" and "The Howard Stern Show."
