Overview

  • In interviews published Monday and early Tuesday, Michaels called the Netflix series an “egregious lie” and reiterated that she chose not to take part.
  • She disputes claims that she bullied contestants or supplied caffeine pills, specifically denying she ever trained Rachel Frederickson or gave her stimulants, and says messages she posted support her account.
  • Michaels says she has consulted attorney Bryan Freedman about potential legal action against Netflix, Bob Harper and former show doctor Robert Huizenga.
  • She says she is discussing a separate documentary with original executive producers to present her version of events.
  • Huizenga told Fox News that blood in urine can occur after vigorous exercise and described an early dehydration policy, while Netflix and Harper did not comment to the outlets that interviewed Michaels.
