Jillian Michaels became known for her aggressive approach to coaching on The Biggest Loser, from obscenity-ridden screams to pushing people to their physical breaking points. But some of her controversial antics have continued since leaving the show. This is the shady truth about Jillian Michaels. Jillian Michaels has always been known for speaking her mind, and while she sometimes gets away with it, the public had a bone to pick with the fitness trainer when she chose to go after national treasure Lizzo. The Biggest Loser star found herself swimming in controversy following a January 2020 interview with the BuzzFeed News morning show, AM to DM. It all started when host Alex Berg praised A-listers like Lizzo and Ashley Graham, and said, "I love that they're putting images out there that we normally don't normally get to see of bodies that we don't get to see being celebrated." However, Michaels didn't have the best response, and replied, "Why are we celebrating [Lizzo's] body?...Why aren't we celebrating her music?...Because it isn't going to be awesome if she gets diabetes. Like, I love her music...my kid loves her music. But there's never a moment where I'm like, 'And I'm so glad that she's overweight!'...Why is it my job to care about her weight?" Almost immediately, critics slammed Michaels for being fatphobic, and disguising it as concern. Eventually, the personal trainer took to Twitter and issued an apology, but unfortunately, the damage was already done.
