Overview

• Netflix’s three-part Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser premiered August 15 and features former contestants, producers and Bob Harper recounting the show’s methods and fallout.
• Jillian Michaels says she is meeting attorney Bryan Freedman about possible legal action against Netflix, Harper and Dr. Robert Huizenga, calling the documentary a lie.
• Michaels shared screenshots she says show producers and Huizenga’s team approved caffeine supplements and that Harper was aware, claiming caffeine was never banned on the show.
• Harper says in the doc he and Michaels were only close on camera and that she never contacted him after his 2017 heart attack; Michaels posted a 2014 text she says undercuts his account.
• The series revisits a contestant’s near-fatal medical crisis and Huizenga’s claim he was not always consulted, while noting long-term struggles reported by alumni and the absence of criminal charges over past substance allegations.
