Richard Simmons took to Facebook on Monday, June 13 to share an article about true sexual orientation amidst rumors that he's transitioning into a woman named Fiona. The posting has since been deleted.
In a screen capture of his FB post, obtained by Radar Online, Richard posted an old article from mic.com titled "What's Your True Sexual Orientation?" and "The Kinsey Scale Is Dead". "This was a fascinating read!" he wrote alongside the article, which explored same- and opposite-sex attraction, "It's so interesting to see how we get more and more in tune with ourselves and how we behave as time goes on. Love it!"
Previously, Richard's rep denied that he's changed into a woman after two years of secret surgery. "It's not true," Tom Estey told PEOPLE, "He is not transitioning into a woman. He has decided to live quietly the last few years. He had knee surgery a few years ago and has a bum knee. He is still on Twitter and Facebook and works behind the scenes continuing to inspire and motivate people to lose weight. When he decides to come back, he will come back."
The National Enquirer reported that Richard "IS NOW A WOMAN," posting a picture of the alleged fitness guru wearing long hair, make-up and fur coat. There were also "jaw-dropping never-before-seen photos of Simmons draped in furs and lingerie, living as a woman behind the walls of his Hollywood Hills mansion!"
