An assault charge against exercise guru Richard Simmons, accused of slapping a man at the Phoenix airport in March, has been dropped.
Simmons, the outlandish 55-year-old known for his exercise videos, was accused of slapping a 6-foot-2, 250-pound ultimate cage fighter, reportedly in retaliation for a sarcastic remark. The wrestler was not injured.
The wrestler, identified as Christopher Farney, agreed to drop the misdemeanor assault charge, according to court documents filed last week. The documents didn't specify why.
