Richard Simmons hospitalized in California, battling severe indigestion

By SABINA GHEBREMEDHIN and MICHAEL ROTHMAN - Apr 18, 2017, 10:33 AM ET

Fitness icon Richard Simmons is doing better after being hospitalized on Monday for "severe indigestion," his rep exclusively told ABC News.

"Richard Simmons was hospitalized on Monday at an undisclosed location in California," his spokesman Michael Catalano said. "After a few days of battling severe indigestion and discomfort while eating, we agreed it was best for him to seek treatment.”

He continued, "He's already feeling better and is expected to make a full recovery.”

Simmons, 68, who over the past few years has vanished from the public eye, signed a business deal for "merchandising, endorsements and licensing opportunities," Catalano announced earlier this month.

But, during his life he helped a lot of people - mainly women - lose weight and feel better about themselves.

I hope he does OK and comes out of hiding.

I met him personally one time at the International Male store in West Hollywood many, many years ago. We were in the underwear section and literally backed in to each other while hunting for some sexy briefs!

He greeted me warmly, with a big smile and went on shopping. I didn't realize how short he is.

As I left the store (he was still inside) his limousine was waiting outside on the side street by the store. The California license plates on the limo were "YRU FAT". Lol!
