After the National Enquirer reported that Richard Simmons was transitioning into a woman named Fiona and getting breast implants, he took to his Facebook page to deny the story -- and speak out about the Orlando shooting.

In a statement posted on Tuesday, the fitness guru wrote:
    “Some tabloids have recently falsely reported that I am transitioning. In response, I feel compelled to set the record straight and refute these lies. Although I am not transitioning, I have and always will be supportive of those who are going through their journey. We should not lose focus on showing love, strength and compassion to all of the LGBT community during these tragic times. My broken heart and healing thoughts are with the people of Orlando and all other victims of prejudice, bigotry and hate.”

Simmons was hospitalized earlier this month at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after reports that he was behaving erratically. “Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and concern after hearing I was in the hospital,” Simmons later said in a statement. “I was dehydrated and needed some fluids and now I am feeling great! Summer is here — drink plenty of liquids. Big hugs and kisses for caring.”
