Jillian Michaels Admits She Was ‘Wrong’ For Commenting On Lizzo’s Weight

Jillian Michaels Admits She Was ‘Wrong’ For Commenting On Lizzo’s Weight

In January 2020, fitness star Jillian Michaels discussed Lizzo’s appearance during an interview with BuzzFeed News morning talk show AM to DM, during which she asked why people are “celebrating” the singer’s body.

RELATED: Jillian Michaels Tries To Clarify Her ‘Diabetes’ Comment About Lizzo

“Why does it matter? Why aren’t we celebrating her music? ‘Cause it isn’t going to be awesome if she gets diabetes,” Micheals said. She instantly received backlash over comments and many critics accused her of body-shaming the 33-year-old.

In a new interview with Carlos Watson on The Carlos Watson Show, the fitness guru was asked about the controversy again and unpacked where she went wrong with her comments, later admitting that she wished she handled the topic differently. She explained, “every single time I do an interview [Lizzo’s] name comes up,” the 47-year-old said: “I’ve never once actually brought her up, she has been brought up to me. And I would like to separate her from the issue, if at all possible, and I should have done that the first time I was asked.” She went on to say, “I should have said, let’s separate an individual from a conversation about health. And that is where I genuinely went wrong.”

She added,

“We need to celebrate individuals. We shouldn’t celebrate somebody because they’re big, we shouldn’t celebrate somebody because they’re small,” she said. Although Michaels accepted that she was wrong in this case, she’s still stood by her concerns about how obesity is dangerous.

“Obesity is just unhealthy. That’s it,” she claimed, before telling Watson that she believes it is her job to educate the public as an “expert.”

Jillian Michaels Shares The One Thing That She Regrets About Her Controversial Lizzo Comments

Celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels is still receiving some heat after suggesting Lizzo’s body should not be admired since she’s at risk of obesity-related health issues such as diabetes.

RELATED: Jillian Michaels Tries To Clarify Her ‘Diabetes’ Comment About Lizzo

As some may recall, Michaels asked Buzzfeed News’ AM2DM morning show host,

“Why are we celebrating her body? Why aren’t we celebrating her music? ‘Cause it isn’t going to be awesome if she gets diabetes. I love her music. My kid loves her music. But, there’s never a moment where I’m like, ‘And I’m so glad that she’s overweight.'”

Now, Michaels stood by what she said and also reiterated to TMZ that being overweight is dangerous. However, she did talk about the topic again during a recent sit-down with Extra’s Billy Bush and shared the one thing she actually regrets from making that comment,

“I think this is where things can become unsafe when we’re so PC that we’re denying the reality of certain health ramifications,” she said. “There are two different narratives: One narrative is: love yourself, value yourself, and—by the way, only from this place can you be healthier, mentally, physically, have healthy love, have a healthy career—you’ve got to value you yourself, believe in your worth, and believe in your ability. But where this comes into play, right, you’re weight, your size, whatever you want to call it, is your health, and denying that there are serious health ramifications when we are overweight is just not a lie I’m willing to tell.”

She went on to say,

“First of all, she didn’t invite this at all,” she said. “And what I really regret is this argument became about a person and what happened was I was asked if I celebrate her being overweight and I should have said, ‘I don’t celebrate anyone being overweight,’ and I don’t know what would I say to her. I’m a huge fan, which is exactly what I said in the interview. Unfortunately, a human being was attached to a case that I was making. I wish that I would have responded that I don’t celebrate anyone being overweight,” Complex quotes.

While appearing on BuzzFeed News’s live Twitter show ”AM to DM” Wednesday, the 45-year-old reacted to Lizzo being celebrated, not just for her talent but also for loving her weight.

“As I’ve stated repeatedly, we are all beautiful, worthy, and equally deserving,” Michaels wrote. “I also feel strongly that we love ourselves enough to acknowledge there are serious health consequences that come with obesity.” She went on to call for people to “prioritize” their health because they love their bodies and themselves.
