Jillian Michaels’ Thoughts on Biggest Loser Documentary: Does She Regret Not Participating?

The Biggest Loser may be in the spotlight again thanks to Netflix’s new docuseries Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser, but one familiar face who isn’t participating is former trainer Jillian Michaels. In a recent interview, Jillian revealed that she has “zero regrets” about not being involved in the documentary, citing concerns about the accuracy of the information presented.

According to Jillian, the documentary contains “literally just lie upon lie” about the NBC series, and she felt that participating would only lend credibility to false information. Instead, she hinted at potentially working on her own project with some executive producers from the original show to share their side of the story.

While Jillian acknowledged that mistakes were made during her time on The Biggest Loser, she emphasized that she had very little control over many of those issues. She explained that she felt she was able to make a positive impact for many seasons on the show, despite any shortcomings.

In addition to her thoughts on the documentary, Jillian also addressed a past controversy involving fellow trainer Bob Harper, who claimed that Jillian did not reach out to him after his heart attack in 2017. Despite their differences, Jillian expressed her hope that Bob is happy and well.

As the Netflix series shines a light on past contestants and trainers, fans may be wondering what happened to some of their favorite winners. Ryan Benson, the show’s first winner, quickly gained back the weight he had lost after the show, but he is now focused on raising his children with more body positivity. Other winners, like Matt Hoover and Erik Chopin, have struggled with regaining weight but remain committed to living healthy lives.

Ultimately, despite the controversies and challenges faced by those involved in The Biggest Loser, many former contestants have found new ways to maintain their health and well-being. Michelle Aguilar, for example, credits trainer Jillian Michaels with changing her life and helping her rebuild her relationship with her mother.

As the stories of The Biggest Loser continue to unfold, it’s clear that the impact of the show goes far beyond what viewers see on screen. Whether it’s addressing past controversies or celebrating new beginnings, the show’s legacy lives on in the lives of its contestants and trainers.
