Victor Richards spoke out recently on rumors from last week about his death.
On Wednesday, it was falsely reported that Victor Richards had passed away. After many reports began coming out, the daughter of Richards reached out directly to Generation Iron to confirm that he was alive and well. In fact, she spoke to Richards that day but he was unavailable to comment.
““I’M PLEASED TO ASSURE YOU THAT MY FATHER IS IN FACT ALIVE AND WELL. AN INACCURATE FACEBOOK POST HAS CAUSED A WILDFIRE OF FALSE INFORMATION THROUGHOUT SOCIAL MEDIA AND NEWS OUTLETS. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONCERN, MY FAMILY APPRECIATES ALL OF THE LOVE THE BODYBUILDING COMMUNITY HAS SHOWN TO MY DAD.”
On Saturday night, Victor Richards took to Facebook to release a video and make a statement on these rumors. Richards was seen in the video with his son and made a long statement as the caption.
“My dear brethren and family members, I want to let you know that I’m well and sound and have never been as healthy as I am today.
Victor Richards continued his message by explaining that he was spending some quality time with his son over the last week. Richards and his son had a busy schedule full of activities.
I’m sincerely sorry for the pain and heartache that the enemies have caused you through their venomous tongues. I did not mean to keep you in suspense but had my little 6 year old with me for the week and had made prior plans for some fun activities with him and there was no way I was going to allow the demonic spirits of slander, obstruction, destruction and death to disturb our peace. We thank God that the enemy did not have the power to disturb our space and peace as we were able to complete all our planned activities including a stay at the coast, visit to the aquarium and attending his basketball game today. It was extremely important for our spirits and sanity to stay away from social media and the phone during this period.
I must also admit that I’m very blessed and fortunate to have such loving fans, friends and family around the world that care so deeply about me. Your love and concern were deeply felt in my spirit and soul and I couldn’t be more thankful for it.
Please stay tuned for I shall be making a video announcement in the next couple of days. May the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ continue to bless and protect you and your loves from the evil of wicked men.
I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ!????”
Victor Richards ended his message by thanking his family and friends, along with those who have cared for him. Richards will be making another video some time this week to make further comments.
