‘This is all false’: Jillian Michaels explodes over Biggest Loser doc, threatens to sue Netflix
She claims the series is full of lies
Former The Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels has broken her silence on Netflix’s newest docuseries about the competition show, Fit For TV.
In a post on Instagram, she slammed some of the claims made in the docuseries and even went as far to threaten to sue Netflix and her co-stars.
One moment in the docuseries explores the time when Jillian Michaels had faced backlash after she was accused of cheating by letting her The Biggest Loser team to take caffeine pills without the doctor allowing it.
She said during the completion: “I stand by my opinion. A caffeine supplement is significantly healthier than unlimited amounts of coffee.”
During the docuseries, Dr Huizenga admitted he hadn’t been comfortable with the methods some of the trainers used to help their team lose weight.
He explained: “As the show really got popular, some things were being done that I really took issue with. Maybe some things changed, not as much as I would like. Jillian never really showed any interest in my advice.”
Since the Netflix documentary aired, Jillian clapped back at the claims, claiming: “Dr. Huizenga did approve caffeine pills on many seasons of Biggest Loser.
“Bob Harper not only knew about the caffeine pills the ‘stackers fat burner’ were actually his suggestion. I wanted to use my brand instead because they were cleaner and had no more than 200mg of caffeine (equivalent to a strong cup of coffee).”
She continued, claiming that caffeine was “never banned” on the show, adding: “Wild how some folks still lie like it’s 1985 before texts and email were a thing.
“And, the last image is my second to last text ever to Bob Harper. Take from it what you will.”
According to Jillian Michaels, the message to fellow The Biggest Loser trainer Bob allegedly stated: “I really think it’s s***ty of you to not even respond to my texts. It’s this kind of thing that always makes me so disappointed [in] our relationship.”
In another interview with TMZ, Jillian claimed she was meeting with an attorney in order to plan her next move.
