Overview

• Netflix’s Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser premiered this month with Bob Harper participating and the streamer saying Jillian Michaels declined.
• Harper states in the docuseries that Michaels did not contact him after his 2017 heart attack and that their off-camera relationship was not as close as portrayed on the show.
• Michaels rejects those claims, telling TMZ she does not know why the relationship soured, accusing Harper of speaking negatively about her, and sharing a 2014 text she says went unanswered.
• Michaels says she is consulting an attorney about potential legal action over what she calls false allegations in the series.
• Former trainer Dolvett Quince tells Us Weekly he observed competitive tension between Harper and Michaels, says he would have handled contestants differently, and notes producers told him he was not approached for the doc because he was not an antagonist.
