The IRS Exercises it’s Right to File Lien on Former Fitness Guru

Richard Simmons known for his, “Sweating to the Oldies” workout videos, and has been hiding out in his home for the past 5 years, has tax liens on his business and property for $24,000.  The IRS claims that Simmons owes this money for years of back taxes between 2007-2015.

Simmons disappearance years ago prompted his friends to contact the LAPD to perform a welfare check.  In 2013, the police did make contact with Simmons who said he simply wanted to take a break from public life.  His status was such a mystery to some that there was a podcast series called, “Missing Richard Simmons” about his whereabouts.
