Jillian Michaels<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>says Netflix\u2019s “Biggest Loser” documentary isn’t just full of lies — it\u2019s part of a long history of the franchise trying to take her down … and she’s giving TMZ all the receipts to prove it.<\/p>\n


\n \"Jillian<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

TMZ caught up with Jillian hot off her IG blast and lawsuit threat<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>Tuesday, and she doubled down — telling us the documentary paints a false picture, starting with Dr. Robert Huizenga<\/strong> claiming he never worked with her — something she says is BS ’cause she’s got hundreds of emails proving otherwise.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Listen to the full interview … Jillian blasts the way the documentary twisted her role on the show, accusing Dr. H of dangerously yanking contestants off their meds cold turkey — while she was the one stepping in to protect them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Dr.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

As for the caffeine bombshell … Jillian insists it was never banned, says the show flip-flopped about it constantly, and flat-out denies ever training S14 contestant Rachel Frederickson <\/strong>— despite the documentary suggesting she secretly slipped her pills.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"caffeine<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

But the wildest part — Jillian tells us back in the day she got a call from Maria Menounos<\/strong>, who told her NBC sources claimed she gave contestants an illegal substance that sent someone to the hospital. Jillian says she never gave any illegal substances to anyone … Maria investigated, and a top NBC exec confirmed it was false.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Brandon<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Still, Jillian claims then-NBC exec Brandon Riegg<\/strong> — the same guy who produced this Netflix doc — was involved in the mess … and she believes this is proof the powers-that-be have had it out for her all along.<\/p>\n

Jillian makes it clear to us again — she and her team are still deciding whether to unload all their receipts or let powerhouse attorney Bryan Freedman<\/strong> take Netflix, Bob Harper<\/strong>, Dr. Huizenga<\/strong> and the doc\u2019s producers to court.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"bob<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s plenty more — from her longstanding bad blood with fellow trainer Harper, to why she skipped the doc altogether, to her claim Netflix ignored her lawyers’ fact-check requests. Jillian says she doesn\u2019t want to spend the time and money … but the documentary is so damning, she may have no choice.<\/p>\n
