Jillian Michaels is weighing in on her personal life.
A week after Bob Harper, a trainer from The Biggest Loser, publicly announced that his ex-co-star hadn’t contacted him following his 2017 heart attack, Jillian expressed her views on their past connection.
During her appearance on the August 20th episode of ‘Hot Mics with Billy Bush’, she made clear that she doesn’t engage in petty, disrespectful name-calling. Instead, she expressed a sincere wish for Bob’s happiness and good health.
He didn’t reach out because he had frequently criticized me on Andy Cohen’s show,” the 51-year-old said, expressing his shock and disappointment over the situation.
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live in 2017, Bob didn’t specifically mention his fellow fitness trainer by name, but instead shared that he had heard about them through almost everyone associated with the show, chuckling nervously as he said this.
During her tenure on the competition series, where Jillian trained both on and off from 2004 to 2014, she often felt a lingering sense of resentment.
After the former reality TV star from NBC made her remarks, they followed Bob’s previous statements where he voiced his dissatisfaction towards Jillian, reflecting on a difficult period in his life related to his health crisis.
He mentioned earlier this month to The Guardian that they weren’t close friends, but had worked together on a TV show for a prolonged period. So, when she didn’t contact him, his silence meant a lot to him.
Simultaneously, Bob, who trained contestants from 2004 until the series finale in 2020, remarked, “It’s only natural that Jillian Michaels would follow her own wishes.
The strange interaction between them isn’t entirely unexpected, given that he openly stated to Us Weekly in 2020 that they haven’t spoken since her departure at all.
He didn’t feel her absence in the final seasons of the series, either.
Bob, who started hosting the show in season 17, said he’s doing well. He mentioned having a few guests from the past, but not too many. It’s great that there are new viewers tuning in, but he also emphasized his long-term presence on the show to assist contestants whenever needed!”
This paraphrase aims to maintain the original meaning while making the text more readable and conversational.
For the biggest celebrity feuds, keep reading.
In January 2024, two months following his departure from Queer Eye after an eight-season run, Bobby (pictured second from left) publicly addressed speculations about a strained relationship with Tan (middle).
In an interview with Vanity Fair, he assured everyone that despite a private matter between him and Tan, they are both doing well and this incident has no connection to the show. He also made it clear that this issue wasn’t romantic in nature.
Come springtime in 2024, I found myself squarely in the hot seat when accusations arose that I had been pushing for my pal Jeremiah Brent to take Bobby’s spot on “Queer Eye”.
Netflix, along with the production companies, thoroughly casted for the role. It wasn’t me who suggested my friend for the job, but rather, they were the most suitable candidate for it. Contrary to some speculation, I didn’t help them get the job by dismissing someone else.” (He said this on Instagram)
In December 2023, during her podcast Let’s Be Clear, Holly Marie Combs, who previously starred with Shannen on Charmed, claimed that Alyssa had presented an ultimatum to a show producer, demanding they pick between herself and Shannen. This situation apparently led to Shannen leaving the show in 2001.
In February 2024, Alyssa posted on Instagram: “I didn’t possess the authority to terminate anyone’s employment,” and that “these events happened so far in the past that any subsequent recounting of them by anyone is essentially rewriting history.
The following day, Shannen stated during a panel discussion at MegaCon Orlando, “No rewriting of history is occurring within the truth I am aware we shared.
Shannen passed away in July 2024 after a yearslong battle with cancer.
In September 2023, during a game titled “Stir the Pot” on TopMob News with her daughter Kelly Osbourne, Sharon expressed that the actor from That ’70s Show was the Rudest celebrity she had ever encountered. She referred to him as a “very impolite boy” and a “naughty little character.
He did not respond to her remarks publicly.
Approximately five years ago, Sharon shared with Larry King that when Ashton made an appearance on The Talk in 2014, he showed a slight attitude after being mistakenly identified by her.
She remembered him asking, “‘Who are you? What’s your background in this field?'” to which she responded brusquely, “Child, let me warn you now, because I’ll chew you up and spit you out. So just know that you’re not prepared for what I bring to the table.
In August of 2022, Cassadee and Maren found themselves in a disagreement with Brittany, the spouse of country music star Jason Aldean, following Brittany’s posting of an Instagram Reel on August 23rd that showed her applying makeup. Brittany wrote alongside the video, “I am truly grateful to my parents for not altering my gender during my tomboy phase. I adore this feminine lifestyle.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I recently found myself reflecting on an intriguing moment from the 2022 TikTok challenge that made headlines. In this instance, the vibrant and charming JoJo Siwa shared an experience with fellow celebrity Candace Cameron Bure, who is best known for her role in the iconic sitcom Full House.
In a heartfelt disclosure, JoJo recalled feeling snubbed when Candace declined to take a picture with her on a red carpet event. However, I’m thrilled to report that Candace swiftly acknowledged her mistake and offered an sincere apology: “I’m truly sorry, JoJo. I inadvertently broke your young heart by not taking a photo with you at the event. It pains me deeply to have caused you such distress.”
This heartwarming story serves as a reminder that even celebrities can make mistakes and that apologizing graciously is an essential part of human connection, regardless of fame or status.
Initially, there was a reconciliation between the two parties. However, several months down the line, Candace was posed a question regarding the possibility of the Great American Family network, where she holds the position of chief creative officer, showcasing same-sex couples as main characters in holiday films. She responded negatively and further clarified that she anticipates the network to uphold traditional marriage as its foundation.
JoJo, who publicly identified as part of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021, posted on Instagram that the actress’s remark was both “unnecessary and harmful to an entire group of individuals.
In June 2021, Courtney Love alleged that Olivia Rodrigo had used Hole’s album cover without giving proper credit for a promotional photo. Rodrigo responded with “I love you and draw inspiration from you so much.” To which Love replied playfully, “Olivia, you’re welcome! My preferred florist is in Notting Hill, London. Send me a direct message for details! I eagerly await reading your note [winking face emoji].
During an episode of “Watch What Happens Live”, the actor from “Happy Days” was questioned about his strained relationship with the “Forrest Gump” actor during the filming of the 1989 movie “Turner & Hooch”.
For 13 days, I had been in charge of that movie’s production when suddenly I was summoned to Jeff Katzenberg’s office. He told me, “You’ve got all the necessary materials? Pack up and go home,” he instructed.
As a die-hard fan, I must confess, the canine costar of Hanks was a delight to work alongside! I hit it off splendidly with that furry friend, and I must say, I’ve developed quite the fondness for him – he’s simply remarkable!
He also refused to admit if he’s even seen the flick.
“You know what you did!”
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I can’t help but reminisce about the unforgettable moments on “The Hills.” One line that still resonates is the one spoken by Lauren during the season three premiere. You might recall that this iconic statement marked the beginning of a heated feud between Lauren and Heidi. The tension escalated when Lauren accused Heidi and her now-husband, Spencer Pratt, of spreading a malicious rumor about her involving Jason Wahler.
A long-standing disagreement between costars flared up again when Tyrese voiced his criticism of Dwayne on Instagram following the postponement of the release date for Fast and Furious 9 to April 2020. On the very same day, it was disclosed that a Fast and Furious spinoff featuring Dwayne and Jason Statham would premiere in theaters in 2019. The following month, Tyrese made a statement indicating he might leave Fast 9 if Dwayne appeared in the film.
Tyrese later discussed the ongoing conflict, confessing to Van Lathan on the “The Red Pill” podcast, “As of now, I still haven’t spoken to The Rock directly, but I plan to have a chat with him.” He disclosed that he did engage in conversation with The Rock’s production partner, but not with the actor himself.
In this situation, I ended up serving as a spokesperson for several individuals connected to the franchise. Unfortunately, I was the only one who chose to express those sentiments openly, and that mistake was entirely mine. It’s unprofessional, it’s not acceptable.
No more bad blood here.
For many years, Taylor and Katy found themselves in a long-standing disagreement, with some reports suggesting that the tension led to Taylor writing the song “Bad Blood.” The conflict, which seemed to have originated from disputes over a backup dancer and competing tours, finally came to an end when Katy reached out to Taylor by sending her an actual olive branch ahead of Taylor’s Reputation Tour.
In a recent Instagram video, Taylor mentioned that she had arrived at her dressing room and discovered an actual olive branch there. She expressed how deeply touched she was by this gesture, saying, “This means so much.” (paraphrased)
Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”
For quite some time, rumors of a feud between Sex and the City co-stars Kim and SJP had been quelled. However, these speculations resurfaced when Kim opted not to rejoin for a third film and made statements about her fellow actress that caused a stir.
Andy Cohen inquired about Sarah Jessica Parker’s response when Kim Cattrall stated they were only colleagues, not friends, during an episode of ‘Watch What Happens Live’ back in September 2017.
She conveyed her feelings by saying, “I’m absolutely heartbroken. We discussed this for a whole week, and it has been truly distressing for me because my memory of our shared experience is quite different from what you’re suggesting.
She expressed, “It’s unfortunate, but I find myself at a loss for words. The bond we share seems to stem from this unique shared experience. Though it was professional in nature, over the years it turned personal and significant, shaping much of our lives. So, I fervently pray that this shared history overshadows any more recent discussions.” She went on to say, “Experiencing something so exceptional together for such a long time feels incredibly special and rare.
And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.
The legendary musicians have been engaged in a long-standing dispute since the year 2004. During his acceptance speech for the Classic Songwriter Award at the Q Awards that year, Elton John famously expressed his displeasure to the audience, stating, “Madonna, considered the best live act? I completely disagree! Since when is miming on stage live? I apologize for the language, but I believe anyone who mimes in public while performing and charges 75 pounds for a ticket should be criticized.
In 2008, the actress who previously starred in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ ignited a dispute with the show’s creator when she declined Emmy Award recognition. She explained her decision by stating that the roles she was provided did not merit a nomination.
Later on, Shonda discussed Katherine’s choice during an interview with Oprah Winfrey on ‘Oprah’s Next Chapter’ in 2012. She explained, “On one hand it hurt and on the other I wasn’t too surprised. When someone shows you their true nature, trust them. That [philosophy] is something I carry with me often, and it has proven beneficial for me.”
During New York Fashion Week, a high-profile argument between Nicki and Cardi broke out at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon party, causing quite a stir globally. A month later, Cardi shared what had sparked the conflict with Nicki.
For some time, she’s been firing numerous criticisms at me, Cardi mentioned in W magazine’s Art Issue. “I had two conversations with her earlier, and we reached a compromise. However, she continued the attacks.
The main cause of their dispute ignited after Cardi B noticed that Nicki Minaj had reportedly liked and subsequently un-liked a tweet criticizing Cardi’s parenting abilities, although Nicki Minaj denies this action.
Cardi B shared that she chose to stay with her daughter instead of profiting from her Bruno Mars tour. She explained, “I love my daughter. I am a great mom. So if you don’t have a child, how can you understand or make such comments?” She went on to say that people may criticize her for not ignoring the comment, but she would not let it go unaddressed, even if she encountered another artist in the grocery store or nearby.
In 2009, a disagreement between Kanye West (the rapper known for “Stronger”) and Taylor Swift (famed for “End Game”) began when he interrupted her acceptance speech during the MTV Video Music Awards. Although they reconciled and became friends over time, their friendship disintegrated in 2026 following the release of his song “Famous,” where he refers to her.
On the eve of the Grammy Awards in February 2025, Kanye made a change on Instagram: he decided to follow just Taylor. There was no additional explanation from him, and Taylor chose not to publicly address this action.
“I don’t know her.”
The ongoing dispute between Mariah and Jennifer Lopez dates back over fifteen years. It began during an interview where Mariah, often referred to as the Queen of Christmas, was asked for her thoughts on various singers. When inquired about Jennifer, she responded, “I am not familiar with her.
