Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave and Jillian Michaels cleared the air after the Biggest Loser alum called out the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star for her accountability program, All In by Teddi.
“I appreciate you coming on to have the conversation ‘cause I was like, ‘Am I feuding with someone? What is happening here?’” Mellencamp began on the Friday, December 4, episode of her “Teddi Tea Pod” podcast, according to Us Weekly.
“No, you’re not, but I can’t say anything anymore without it turning into that,” Michaels replied.
“Here’s my advice to you, honestly, ‘cause I actually don’t know anything about the program,” Michaels said. “Whenever I step a little bit out of my lane and I do a lot — I’ve written books about hormones, I’ve written books about pregnancy fitness. I always — because people come after me constantly, which I’m sure you’re used to — I always get, like, the foremost experts in the space.”
Teddi insisted that is what she did when creating All In, adding: “You and I have the same certification.”
Jillian then blamed “#ADULTING” podcast cohosts Zack Peter and Abigail Fraher for incorrectly telling her that Mellencamp “had no certification.”
“I was just cracking up ‘cause I’m like, people don’t even do the research,” Mellencamp explained. “They just want clickbait, and then they want people to feel on edge with other people, and I’m like, ‘No, I need to talk to her directly.’”
Michaels concluded that she has “no critiques” of the program and is “sure it’s perfectly sound.” She also noted that she hoped Mellencamp would be “a newfound friend” after they settled the misunderstanding.
Tedd responded, “I have so much respect for you,” she told Jillian. “I think a lot of what we talk about align.”
While appearing on The #Adulting podcast, Jillian was asked to share her thoughts on Teddi’s accountability program.
“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 on the “#ADULTING” podcast. “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.”
