‘The Biggest Loser’ Wasn’t Unhealthy!!!
Published
Jillian Michaels is doubling down and defending her work on “The Biggest Loser” … she says the reality weight loss competition show wasn’t unhealthy and says she’s got the data to back it up.
The show — and Jillian — have been under fire recently over the show’s weight loss methods and Jillian’s speaking out in a new interview with Women’s Health.
Jillian had this to say about ‘TBL’ in her sit-down with the outlet … “If you say it’s unrealistic, I totally agree. But if you say it’s unhealthy, I’d disagree, and I have the data to back it up.”
As we reported … Jillian says Netflix’s ‘Biggest Loser’ documentary is full of lies, and she joined us on “TMZ Live” a few months ago to call BS on a bunch of stuff.

Jillian’s still on the defensive — the doc came out in August — but she told Women’s Health she didn’t support everything that went down on ‘TBL’ … namely, Season 15 winner Rachel Frederickson‘s 155-pound weight loss.
Jillian told Women’s Health … “I was deeply disturbed when she walked out on the stage that day, and I never went back. There was just a limit in regard to what the platform could bear as times change and evolve, and in regard to my control of my image on the platform.”
