Over the past few years, Jillian Michaels has been at the center of multiple controversies, including for sharing that she voted for Donald Trump in 2024.
The former host of The Biggest Loser walked away from the set of her show, Her Talk, after a disagreement with a panelist.
Jillian Michaels' talk show, Her Take, flew off the rails this week when she and her fellow panelists — Ana Kasparian, Amy Dangerfield, and Lindy Li — spoke about the conspiracy theories surrounding the death of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
On Monday's episode, Michaels, grew increasingly frustrated with the roundtable as the four women attempted to discuss unsubstantiated theories about Israel's involvement in Kirk's death. Kasparian, who hosts the online news show The Young Turks, criticized Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, for using the moment for his own political purposes by talking up his relationship with Kirk.

Michaels, who rose to fame as the host of The Biggest Loser, took issue with the fact that Kasparian continued to deride Israel and its prime minister, leading her to say, "I don't know how every show ends being about, 'How do we bash Israel?' This is not for me." Michaels then closed her laptop and walked off set, but as she was leaving, Kasparian took one last jab at the fitness influencer, saying, "Let’s be good about precious Israel! Let the country commit a genocide."
As she exited the set, Michaels could be heard muttering, "I think you guys are great. I fundamentally disagree with you about, every show, doing this. I'm sorry." But once she was gone, the remaining panelists decided to continue their discussion after getting the OK from a producer.
The former reality TV host found herself in hot water recently after the release of a Netflix docuseries centered around the toxic environment that was fostered on The Biggest Loser. But, at this point, she's no stranger to bad press. Over the past few years, Michaels has been at the center of multiple controversies, including for sharing that she voted for Donald Trump in 2024, openly supports Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s "Make America Healthy Again" campaign, and "thinks that it's wrong to medicalize gender transitions for children."
