Richard Simmons' brother fires back after housekeeper accuses him of spending $844K from late star's trust


Richard Simmons' brother Lenny is speaking out after being accused of spending over $843,000 from the late fitness guru's trust by Simmons' former housekeeper.

'We do have 24 hr armed security because of several incidences of squatters attempting to establish residency in Richard's home, as well as perpetrators jumping the fence in the middle of the night to gain access,' Lenny said in Tuesday's statement. Since being removed as co-trustee of Simmons' estate in wake his July death, Teresa claims, Lenny has had 'unchecked control' over the trust and has defied his 'explicit instructions' by getting back into business with Catalano to 'exploit Richard's name and image'. Teresa pointed to a recent incident on October 17 when she claims Lenny had given Catalano and a film crew access to Richard's LA home in an apparent attempt to continue a media project he had previously opposed.
