he can finally come out of the closet

Was not aware JJ was in the closet to begin with.

RIP Richard - you actually had the right idea - make your money and then slip out of the public eye and enjoy your days doing whatever the hell you want without judgement.

Dude just stepped away - lived with his housekeeper and told Hollywood to F-off.

Before the videos and sweatin’ to the oldies - he trained ALOT of big names in Hollywood.

No bueno

Really. Wow

RIP

was just talking about him yesterday and that podcast finding Richard Simmons (or something like that) how some theorized his maid had brain washed him and got him to become a recluse suddenly.

That will be JJ in 10-12 years.

Out of the spotlight living with a “housekeeper”

JJ's unopened box set of sweatin to the oldies just went up in value.

You really think JJ has another 10-12 years?

Don’t you have to be IN the spotlight first before you can step out of it.

Nah - I suspect JJ is living exactly how he likes these days - posting regularly and happily single.

No way he suddenly stops posting unless he can’t. He enjoys the social distancing forums allow him and occasionally there is a nugget or 2 in his post worth taking.

Simmons died on July 13, 2024, at his home in Hollywood Hills, according to a representative, just one day after his 76th birthday. His death appears to be from natural causes.

bummer had his birthday and poof he’s gone.
