Jillian Michaels reignited her drama with Andy Cohen over the keto diet — and called out former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave — during a recent interview.
“Like with keto — Al Roker and Andy Cohen — I was like, ‘Great, let’s have this debate!’ [They were] gone. Vanished! Bye, bye. Gone!” Michaels said on the “#ADULTING” podcast with Zack Peter and Abigail Fraher on Tuesday, November 24, according to Us Weekly. “You know, anybody who — paleo, vegan — I mean, bring it! So, you have to do your work and be prepared in order to put something out in the world that has staying power and that delivers on the results.”
Jillian made headlines in 2019 after she slammed the high-fat, low-carb eating plan, calling the diet a “bad plan for a million reasons.” Cohen subsequently made her the “Jackhole of the Day” on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, noting that “a lot of people think Jillian Michaels is a bad idea.”
Michaels clapped back at Cohen. “I’m not just a fitness trainer. I have three certifications. I do continuing education. I’m a certified nutritionist. … Andy Cohen, I mean, is just not a nice guy. And I’ve said that for many years.”
Michaels was also asked to share her thoughts about Mellencamp’s accountability program, All In, which came under fire earlier this year.
“You know, these women are not, they’re not nutritionists. They’re not registered dietitians. It sounds like they’re not certified fitness experts,” Michaels said. “And it doesn’t sound like they got all of those individuals behind their program. And I could very well be wrong — I don’t know — but it doesn’t sound like they did. So, this is where I would say, look, get out of your lane. You don’t see me commenting on politics? I don’t understand half of these policies. I’m not an economist. I didn’t go to school to study foreign policy. You know what I mean? That’s not my lane … I would say, stay in your lane. And when you’re in your lane, do your work.”
