Apparently, there's an exhibit at the Smithsonian – inside the National Museum of American History – that asks visitors to give their opinions on transgender athletes. Not only that, but the exhibit is sponsored, in part, by sports apparel giant Nike. Jillian Michaels, one of the original "fitness influencers" and a staunch defender of women's sports, brought it up during a segment on CNN, asking why the exhibit exists and why it is promoting a false claim. "[The exhibit]… talks about how it's complex to do gender testing in sports. It's not complex. It's basic science," Michaels said. "Is it...

But here's where it gets even more interesting: are the tactics of the government really that different from those of the Mafia? Michael shares his firsthand experience with the inner workings of both, exposing corruption, backroom deals, and power plays that eerily mirror what happens in the political world. From tax schemes and money laundering to loyalty, fear tactics, and backstabbing, we break down the shocking parallels between organized crime and modern government. We also explore the world of sports gambling—one of the Mafia's biggest money-makers—and how its influence has evolved with legalization, corporate interests, and political involvement. How Trump...

The fitness guru on her new podcast, learning to like Trump, and how health has become a political football. No wonder Jillian Michaels is the newest voice on Bill Maher’s Club Random Studios network. Maher famously says his progressive views haven’t changed. Democrats shifted so far to the left Michaels no longer fits the party’s brand. Michaels knows the feeling. “I went from left to center-left to center to now a little bit center-right,” the “Keeping It Real with Jillian Michaels” host told Align. “I haven’t changed in my mind ... the world is changing around me.” A political football...

Fitness guru Jillian Michaels is half-Arab, half-Jewish, gay woman, has a black kid, etc. She explains why she is now fleeing California:

Celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels (The Biggest Loser) posed the question that the majority of Americans with half a brain cell are asking: how is former President Donald Trump going to jail but Dr. Anthony Fauci isn’t? “How is Trump going to jail, but Faucci isn’t? Someone please make this make sense,” Michaels said on X this week.

The Biggest Loser star and celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels has come out against men competing in women’s sports, saying the evidence “irrefutably” undercuts the transgender cause. Michaels, an open lesbian, expounded on her position during an appearance on Fox & Friends on Tuesday. While she acknowledged that the LGBTQ cause for “inclusion” is a noble one, she felt it should not come at the expense of women athletes. “You’ve got two competing goals in sports. … One is inclusion, which everybody can understand and get on board with. However, the second goal that’s in direct opposition with inclusion in this...

I don't know much about proper kettle bell techniques. Neither does Jillian Michaels. I have an internationally respected fitness certification and 17 years' experience with free weights, yet I lack the audacity to pretend I am qualified to teach kettle bells. Jillian Michaels, on the other hand, is lacking in shame. At least that's what I thought until I realized Michaels is not actually a real fitness trainer — she's an actress playing the role of fitness trainer on TV and in a line of popular DVDs. It's analogous to Jesse Ventura's choice of a Gatling-style minigun to mow down...

LOS ANGELES – Jillian Michaels has been sued for alleged false advertising by a woman who claims she was duped into buying a diet supplement endorsed by the celebrity trainer. Christie Christensen of Lake Elsinore, Calif., is seeking class-action status for the case she filed Tuesday in Los Angeles. Michaels is a hard-charging, no-nonsense trainer best-known as one of the stars of NBC's hit reality show, "The Biggest Loser." Christensen's lawsuit claims she bought a product called "Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Calorie Control" last month and that it has failed to lessen her appetite or cause her to lose weight...
