Jillian Michaels wasn’t mincing words while sharing her unfiltered thoughts about Joy Behar.
The fitness enthusiast, 52, made it clear that she’s not a fan of the outspoken TV personality, 83, while she and her fellow “Actual Friends” podcast cohosts Dave Rubin, Sage Steele and Dr. Drew Pinsky called out Behar for her commentary on The View.
Pinsky, 67, brought up Behar’s remarks at the Hot Topics table on Tuesday, March 3, while discussing the American soldiers who were killed during President Donald Trump‘s recent attack on Iran.
“She doesn’t hear herself, how she rails on people,” Pinsky said about Behar on the Friday, March 6, episode of their podcast, leading Michaels to interject. “Oh, Joy’s a bitch. She’s such a bitch and she’s been a bitch for years.”
“I used to deal with her back in the Biggest Loser days when she would go after me because she was overweight and unhealthy and just a crotchety old bitchy broad,” Michaels continued. “She’s a bitch and she’s always been a bitch.”
Pinsky quipped in response, “How do you feel about her though? Tell me how you feel.”
Jillians was a trainer on The Biggest Loser from its season 1 premiere in 2004 to season 11 in 2011, later returning for seasons 14 and 15 in 2012 and 2013.
“There were some fundamental differences [with producers] that have existed for a while,” Michaels explained about her departure in a 2014 interview with People, explaining that she didn’t appreciate the way she was portrayed prior to her show exit. “You saw none of the relationships, none of the bonds that I build with my clients.”
“I don’t want fans to think I feel like I’m too big for the show or that I’m seeking greener pastures,” she added about her experience. “I’m so grateful to the show and so sad to leave.”
Michaels called out Behar after Savannah Chrisley spoke about her experience serving as guest host on The View from February 16 to February 20 during Alyssa Farah Griffin’s maternity leave.
Chrisley, 28, admitted that she thought both Behar and Whoopi Goldberg “were gonna be a pain in my ass” during her February 18 interview on “The View: Behind the Table” podcast.
The Chrisley Knows Best star said she and Behar surprisingly had a “blast” off camera.
“She was asking me about my parents [Todd and Julie Chrisley], and she’s like, ‘What did they go to prison for?’ I go, ‘Joy, you should know. You called them tax cheats,’” Chrisley said.
