SlideShow: Richard Simmons Cited For Slapping Man
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Web site AZCentral.com said that the man Simmons allegedly hit is a 255-pound ultimate cage fighter. (AZCentral.com is a joint Web site venture between the Arizona Republic Newspaper and an Arizona TV station.)

The Web site said that Simmons allegedly slapped the 6-foot-2, 250-pound athlete after the man reportedly made a derogatory remark about Simmons, according to Phoenix police Lt. Lowell Spalla.

Simmons was awaiting a flight to Los Angeles out of Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport last night when the man recognized him at the terminal.

Police said the man made a sarcastic comment to the effect of, "Hey everybody. It's Richard Simmons. Let's drop our bags and rock to the '50s."

According to the AZCentral.com report, police said Simmons responded, "You shouldn't make fun of people who have issues" and then he slapped the cage fighter.

The victim wasn't hurt but said he intends to file charges.

Richard should have ignored him.

Richard should have zapped him with the stun guns and quetly walked away.

I cant imagine being such a chump as to press chargs for a slap. Lawyers are overunnning the country. That said, this reminds me of the Andy Kaufman - Jerry Lawler farce on TV a while back. I still am unsure if it was orig staged or what. I wasn't a Kaufman fan, but Man on the Moon was a decent flick IMO.
