If there’s one thing Jillian Michaels should consider changing, it’s perhaps her tendency to share her opinions no matter what — especially since public backlash at times overpowers whatever her message truly is. So, why do Michaels’ remarks sometimes leave people seeing red? Well, simply put, her pearls of wisdom sometimes come across as condescending.
One of the worst culprits? An Instagram video she posted about veganism in December 2019, in which The Biggest Loser alum began by gushing, “I am an animal lover, and I also acknowledge that being vegan is one of the best things we can do for the environment.” She then dropped the following: “But I cannot tell you that any of the research I have ever done with endocrinologists, or even dermatologists or registered dietitians, would suggest that being completely vegan is healthy.” While everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinions, Michaels then suggested what vegans should be doing instead, such as indulging in meat every so often or having eggs from “super happy chickens that are living the life.”
Naturally, some of Michaels’ fans weren’t happy with her advice, which was immediately labeled as ignorant. “Do you really believe in the bull that comes out of your mouth,” one user wrote. “Oh Jillian, nooooooo,” begged another, adding, “You’re killing me here … From you, of all people, who is usually so well-informed. Please PLEASE do better.” Not the best look, Jillian.
