Richard Simmons' Family Responds to Pauly Shore's Claims Amidst Biopic Plans

Family Denies Shore's Allegations

The family of the late fitness guru Richard Simmons has publicly refuted recent allegations made by actor and comedian Pauly Shore. Following Simmons' passing in July, Shore raised doubts about the authenticity of social media posts attributed to the former fitness icon.

Biopic Controversy

These comments come amid ongoing plans for a biopic about Simmons' life. Shore's claims have cast a shadow over the project, as he questioned whether the family had sufficient authority to approve the film. However, the family has asserted that Simmons was fully involved in the planning stages before his passing.

In a recent statement released through a spokesperson, the family stated that Simmons “absolutely wrote his own posts” and expressed frustration over Shore's “disrespectful and unfounded” remarks.
