Richard Simmons‘the family is furious about this Pauly Costa trying to cast doubt on the authenticity of the late fitness guru’s latest posts… and they’re coming out swinging.
RS team withdrew a statement from his brother Lenny on Wednesday X — clearing things up, writing… “Dicky wrote his own posts. He worked on them a week in advance, revising them several times to get the message right.”
From Richard’s team:
Pauly Shore recently made comments to Entertainment Tonight about his attempts to move forward with an unauthorized film about Richard. You can see what he had to say about the biopic here on Richard’s account. 1/3

Lenny added that Richard used to show his posts to him and his wife. Cathy before they aired. So they’re saying it was definitely Richard behind those messages… although Pauly recently said he wasn’t so sure.
Incidentally, Lenny also reinforced the notion that Richard never greenlit the Pauly biopic. And as for Pauly saying that Richard later changed his mind and wished him luck with the project — Lenny is saying that never happened either… so they’re disproving the whole thing.
As we mentioned… Pauly’s still all inside in making the Simmons biopic happen, although Richard made that clear in a January Facebook Post he never gave permission for this film to be made.

Even so, Pauly is determined… saying earlier this week There is a delay with the funding at the moment as he is still trying to raise money — which could take a while.
Anyway… Richard’s family isn’t happy with the guy — that’s clear.
