Pauly Shore is facing backlash from Richard Simmons' family and staff over his unauthorized biopic, 'The Court Jester,' about the late fitness guru who died on July 13 at age 76. Shore claims Simmons wanted him to make the movie, despite Simmons and his family repeatedly denying this. Simmons had publicly disapproved of the project on social media prior to his death, with his brother and staff confirming that Simmons wrote these posts himself. Shore continues to question the authenticity of these posts and insists on moving forward with the film, which is still in development. The family remains firm that no permission was granted, and Shore's claims of receiving Simmons' blessing are unfounded.
