Jackie Warner Unleashes on Past with Jillian Michaels: “She’s a Horrible Person

A tempest brewed from the past has returned to haunt Jillian Michaels, as her former partner Jackie Warner opens up with poetic candor about their once-private relationship turned public reckoning. The echoes of a seven-year romance have resurfaced, not with rose petals, but with accusations that sting sharper than a fitness drill gone wrong.
In a recent re-airing of an old podcast episode on Hot Take & Deep Dives, Jackie Warner didn’t mince words when describing her ex-lover and former workout partner. “She’s horrible. She’s just a horrible person,” Warner declared, her voice steady with the weight of years spent holding back. The conversation centered around Netflix’s new documentary *Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser*, which reignited discussions about the show’s intense methods—and by extension, the behavior of its most recognizable trainer.
Warner recalled dining in upscale restaurants only to be embarrassed by Michaels’ volcanic temper. “Jill was ready to punch, ready to spit, ready to curse in a beautiful restaurant surrounded by dressy, classy people,” she said, painting a scene more dramatic than any reality show montage. At one point, the argument escalated so much that they were asked to leave—not because of spilled wine or broken china, but due to screaming and cursing that shattered the decorum of the establishment.
Calling Michaels the “Tasmanian Devil” may sound playful, but it carried the sting of a nickname born from frustration. Warner admitted that the outbursts became so frequent and jarring that they ultimately eroded the love between them. “I fell out of love with her completely,” she confessed, the finality of those words landing like a dropped dumbbell.
E! News reached out to Michaels’ representatives for comment but received no reply. However, in a now-deleted Instagram video from 2022, Michaels pushed back against claims that she spat on patrons, calling such allegations “complete lies.” She added with characteristic defiance, “I’m pretty sure if I had spit on many people in restaurants, or even one person for that matter, it would’ve already made [the] paper.”
But this isn’t just a tale of two exes airing old grievances. Bob Harper, Michaels’ longtime co-trainer on *The Biggest Loser*, also shared his side in a recent interview with *The Guardian*. He expressed disappointment that Michaels didn’t reach out after his 2017 heart attack, saying it “spoke volumes” about their relationship. Yet, Harper tempered his criticism, stating he wouldn’t expect anything different from Michaels, known for her fiercely independent streak.
Michaels, for her part, called Harper’s comments “shocking and disappointing,” though she insisted she wasn’t interested in engaging in “catty, b–chy, nasty name-calling.” On the *Hot Mics with Billy Bush* podcast, she maintained a tone of dignity, saying, “I actually do hope that Bob is happy and well.”
This latest chapter in the saga of Jillian Michaels reads less like a memoir and more like a sonnet—each line filled with tension, emotion, and the kind of raw honesty that doesn’t often survive the glare of fame. Whether these revelations will change how fans view Michaels remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the past is never truly past, especially in Hollywood.
And so, the ink dries on another page of life, written in bold strokes and whispered truths.
