Celebrity trainer and fitness guru Jillian Michaels – best known for her stint on NBC’s ‘Biggest Loser’ – probably received the biggest backlash of her career after weighing in on Pop star Lizzo‘s physical appearance last week.

During a chat with BuzzFeed News last Wednesday (January 8), Michaels was quizzed on why the singer’s body is praised.  She responded:

“Why are we celebrating her body? Why does it matter? Why aren’t we celebrating her music?  ‘Cause it isn’t gonna be awesome if she gets diabetes.”

Once the interview went viral, Jillian – flooded with negative remarks on her social media handles and even getting a fiery clapback from Liz herself – released a statement that asserted she stands by the ‘diabetes’ comment (a point she later reiterated).  This week, however, she’s singing a slightly different tune.

On a promo blitz that’s seen her drop by ‘E! News,’ ‘Inside Edition,‘ and more, the 45-year-old was also spotted at ‘Extra’ where she sat down with resident anchor Billy Bush to further discuss today’s PC culture, body positivity movement, and respond to accusations of body shaming.
