Jillian Michaels Quits Talk Show Live After Heated Debate on Israel, Charlie Kirk

Jillian Michaels abruptly quit her political talk show, Her Take, during a heated debate about conservative activist Charlie Kirk's death and Israel's alleged involvement. The discussion escalated when unsubstantiated claims surfaced that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had offered Kirk's Turning Point USA organization $150 million to adopt a more pro-Israel stance, which Michaels vehemently disputed, demanding proof. Tensions flared between Michaels and co-host Ana Kasparian, with Kasparian accusing Israel of genocide, prompting Michaels to declare she was no longer interested in the show and storm off mid-episode. Michaels later explained she had been misled about the segment's focus and was frustrated by the repeated criticism of Israel. The other panelists continued the discussion after her departure. Michaels, a fitness guru and former TV host, has recently been involved in various controversies, including her political endorsements and views on gender transitions for children.
