Overview

• The three-part Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser features allegations from Bob Harper, Dr. Robert Huizenga, producers and former contestants about contestants’ treatment and on-set practices.
• Michaels posted screenshots she says show Dr. Huizenga approved caffeine pills on multiple seasons and that Harper suggested Stacker, arguing caffeine was not banned on the show.
• She shared an email instructing a contestant to eat 1,600 calories and cited texts from two executive producers disputing the claim she told a finalist, “You’re going to make me a millionaire.”
• Michaels told TMZ she is consulting attorney Bryan Freedman and may sue Netflix, Harper and Huizenga; as of Aug. 21, no lawsuit has been filed and Netflix and NBC have offered limited comment in coverage.
• She also claims NBC threatened legal action if she did not publicly condone Rachel Frederickson’s finale appearance and says she resigned soon after, as the documentary highlights her rift with Harper and his claim she did not contact him after his 2017 heart attack.
