The M in MAHA stands for Mengele

“Former fitness coach pivots to right-wing grift” - more accurate headline
What transformation? She's always been a ghoul.
Oh shit soulless grifters sometimes change grifts? My mind is blown!
MAGAt..
“Liberal” or “apolitical”? How about wellness huckster turned MAGS huckster the commonality being huckster.
The paper of record continuing to sane wash what is becoming more evidently a eugenics program.
amazing coverage from your whites only editors. problem is that most of the whites only readers you're looking to attract aren't yet convinced NYT is truly for the whites. you're getting there though...keep up the fantastic work! THESE ARE MY FAVE
Let’s not forget the country lost its fucking mins when Mrs Obama dared to suggest children eat vegetables, and not just potatoes. FFS.
She’s the C word. I don’t use it lightly.
Money. It's the money. Also, if there were any justice, child protective services would have Jillian on their radar. wkamaubell.substack.com/p/please-lor...
Is publishing normalcy of anti-science bullshit gonna make you big bucks, like it's made for Jill, you think?
You can shove this bullshit straight back up your collective asses where it was conceived in the first place.
Well fack her then!
She is a liar promoting lies that will harm and kill people. Puff pieces on her endanger the citizens of this country. Is this what you people got into journalism to do? Look at yourselves in the mirror and ask how you want to be remembered. Now is the time to make your decision.
These people are all professional frauds. Are you counting on readers reading between the lines? Why not just go one step further and call it for what it is. She's a fame-driven striker who's got no one's best interest in mind but her own. Gotdam.
*striver
How did she end up here? Because her previous scam was played out and she needed a new one
Hey Jillian, maggots don’t like lesbians so that makes you the biggest loser!😏
This is fucking embarrassing, but worse, shameful. Holy fucking shit
There is such a thing as a circle and she made it all the way around it to the ignorant side.
The NYT is full of spineless cowards, sycophants, and Fascist collaborators. You’re accelerating your own demise by trying to cozy up to the regime, and you’re too fucking stupid to see it.
Just in-extremely shitty person remains shitty. Should be beaten with a hammer.
She's always been a dumb loudmouthed cu next Tuesday. No surprise.
Go fuck yourselves
Following the money. Side benefit is that she can now, fully, be her most horrid self. Make America Hate Again.
Eat shit
Just another grifting willing to play the MAGA game.
You guys suck at journalism if you are buying what she is selling as a straight story. Also good job on giving her a huge profile right after complaining about how slavery wasn’t as big of a deal as we make it and we should stop blaming white people for it. Great job helping kill the media guys!
Treating a wellness huckster like an authority on the subject— is she giving you a taste of her take?
She hasn't transformed into a goddamned thing, she just was and is a crackpot.
I wished I loved anything the way NYT employees love telling their families how they defend white supremacy and senile pedophile con-men for a living 🫶
Unfiltered? Really? How about dangerous?
she's a miserable, hateful cunt, and so are you for platforming her.
Gross.
Needed a rube-rich environment
She looks like Teddy Perkins
Nasty Woman.
Oh, that braindead fascist. Gross.
you'll really just platform any piece of shit, huh?
You don't have to give a platform to every poorly educated or lying moron who builds an audience for their grift, you know @nytimes.com
this article better say “the conservative grift is easy and lucrative” bc that’s it
WGAF? Stop platforming idiots. Please, for the love all that’s holy, STFU!! She’s just another pick me twat looking for fame and $$ by saying stupid but political bullshit. She’s also pretty fucking racist. Put that in your font you hack paper.
yeah reality show parasite is actually a bad person with shit views & easily corruptible ethics, total shocking no one GTFOH
Who cares
I know where I want her to end up. I'll settle for prison.
I believe the word you’re groping for is grifter.
She’s been garbage and she’s only become more garbage-y from the jump.
💰
how does it feel being the newspaper of the new Nazi party?
That’s some hard hitting journalism there, chief
Ask the lesbian about Trump’s attack on her marriage and rights.
Nothing like the NYT elevating a white woman who defended the slavery of Black people. Who are we kidding? This is an every day occurrence.
why are you humanizing and introducing the neo-Nazi morons who are ruining your country?
She was dangerous and wrong on the Biggest Loser and she’s wrong again. Not surprising.
TL:DR but is the NYT now going to start becoming a proslavery outlet?
"Wellness authority"? By what authority? She's an exercise instructor who hawks diet pills.
Fascinating choice.
Fascinating choice for whom? Michaels, or the NYT for writing the article?
Perhaps it was this or obscurity, Ms. Gay.
Democracy dies in euphemisms.
New game from the makers of wordle — NYTimes pitchbot or NYTimes — can you keep a daily streak?
THIS is how you sell subs? Thankful I don't waste my money.
Why the f do you keep giving these awful grifters a platform??? Rufo, RFK jr and now this idiot
“Wellness authority”. riiiight.
Was she apolitical or a Hollywood liberal?
I can think of a much more appropriate platform for these people to be on than the NYT
Jillian Michaels is an asshole!
She got out there and defended chattel slavery in America with Nick Fuentes, David Duke, Richard Spencer, and Strom Thurmond racist talking points, but sure.
Good lord
'authority'
This is not the story I’m looking for
Worthless sludgebuckets.
Wellness? She looks like a freak bad guy from a horror movie
Eat shit, NYT. I’d tell Jillian to do it too but it’s probably how she breaks her fast
Fuck you. You're going to print a story debunking anti-vaccine cranks a few days ago and then you print this? This glow-up promoting a garbage human will continue to get folks to ignore science and will kill people. Go to hell.
Despite his recent focus on cat-related charity posts, Jakub Jahl’s past isn’t so innocent. “THE VICTIMS OF JAKUB JAHL IN AFRICA” features testimonies of victims who accuse him of abuse and theft in Tanzania. His image makeover doesn’t erase these accusations
I used to like her. Now she’s trash.
From bullying fat people to bullying everyone.
Jillian Michaels is thin because she's genetically predisposed to be thin. Not everyone is. That's it. That's the end of the story.
MAHA for women is a nascent market that she wants to move into. Get ready for some weird pelvic floor stuff.
Julie DiCaro loves being loud and wrong about everything. (Julie is also obese, so her disdain is understandable)
🫠
Go fuck yourselves lmao Anyone whose byline is on this piece should be made to personally lay flowers at the grave of the people who RFKJr's movement is going to kill in the coming years, out of their own pockets
She is now, and always has been, a grifter.
Follow the money
Forget trying to put labels on someone like Michaels. She's just one of those celebs who like attention and will go with whatever label will get them views.
didn't we know she was nuts over a decade ago?
Who gives a shit?
Jillian Michaels is an idiot and a bully.
#JillianMichaels can merrily go phuque herself. SICK TO DEATH of white people like her/DeSantis/ FelonInChief offensively dismissive comments re American slave trade as if the buying/selling/whipping/imprisonment/kidnapping/rape/overall abuse of HUMAN BEINGS was a minor transgression in history.
Having bought yourself (yes, I said ‘bought’) a black child does not give you license or an invitation to spout your galactically stupid and offensive comments about the tragedy my ancestors suffered.
How to torch your reputation in ten days By Jillian Michaels
What reputation? Besides that as a very shitty person? We already knew that
How to torch your reputation year by year: NY Times as they keep those tongue baths for scammers and bigots coming.
She’s sucked ass since forever
She’s been publicly awful for decades. It’s only because her awfulness is no longer aimed only at fat people that y’all are starting to notice
Michaels is the textbook abuser - she berated people “because she cares”, she’s just found a new outlet and a new group of people to abuse and make her new cash cow
Jillian obviously realized that there is more money in hate than there is in decency and compassion.
Can't teach an old grifter new grifts, but they can find new marks. Tale as old as lies...
Fuck that hideous fucking fascist ghoul, fuck you assholes and fuck your shitty fucking shit rag.
Do yall just throw a dart at the wall to decide which fascist you are gonna normalize this week or how does it work
ITS RATIO TIME
Just the other day as I was watching RFK Jr decimate funding for research into the neurodegenerative disease that has condemned me to a slow, agonizing death, I thought, I could really use some insight into Jillian Michaels' long journey from New Age quackery into MAHA quackery
What the hell are you doing here? She isn't an authority, she's a gym coach.
Transphobia really rots your brain out.
Another television “expert” who was completely unqualified for the task.
I'm beginning to think the entire MAHA phenomenon is built upon platforming psychopaths.
The entire Republican party is exactly this.
So she is another brain-dead moron doing her own research.
Nobody saw that coming lol
"We platform Fascists" said the Times.
Check yourself woman! What happened to you? Stay away from anything with maga, maha. rfk jr. Is making everyone sicker trumpugly is bringing America down. 90 years of the US being #1 is over because or him and other sycophants. Don't make that same mistake.
She can go fuck herself
y’all just love platforming and normalizing the most batshit crazy people on earth huh
Joe Kahn and Pat Healy are white supremacists, just as the Sulzberger klan have always been.
Sucking off fascists is the only thing NYT does these days
Grifter platformed my regime rag NYTimes
So she's a crank?
NY Times posts are such shit I can't tell if they're coming from @nytpitchbot.bsky.social half the time 😭
She’s looking a bit ruff. So, I would not do anything she promotes. And 🖕 her too.
Has anyone considered, though, that maybe there’s something in the fillers?
Not unusual. Liberals go right-wing when they get older. It's a fashion thing.
The right wing grift pays better.
Don’t spend time on someone who could’ve cared less about the health of people who were on the biggest loser!
I am sure you wrote about her lack of qualifications ….
She targeted a group that would provide her relevance and catered to those people.
Grifting on a national scale
she's always been an abusive personality, hth
why does she look like Steven pinker with eyeshadow lmao
Keep on scrubbing. It may work eventually.
Honestly, right decision to cancel you two years ago.
Fuck her and fuck you. You both make the country and the world worse.🖕🤡💩
Such a joke to have a celebrity who doesn't mind tarnishing her image, while being part of a party that could care less about women. Some women out there truly hate themselves
What an embarrassing article.
nobody cares about this
Have you guys ever tried not platforming cranks and hacks? Maybe ask real doctors about everyday stuff?
All your editors are bad people who history will remember as shameless cheerleaders for fascism
who cares how she ended up anywhere?
Answer: She found the grift
How did she end up here? She is trash and she's always been trash. That's it. That's your answer. Nobody needs to click the link. The answer is that she's garbage.
@michaelhobbes.bsky.social @yrfatfriend.bsky.social how many subjects from Maintenance Phase are now part of MAHA and is there an episode to do on them all converging into some Dark Avengers nightmare team
Wow good point. A whole cabinet full of "airport bestsellers." God help us all.
MAintenance pHAse
So someone who's famous for screaming abuse at overweight people and being sued for crank diet plans is now a MAGA / MAHA? Shocked, I tell ya!!
Hoping to cash in like every other MAGA ghoul
The New York Times: from "All the News That's Fit to Print" to that slogan's polar opposite, "No MAGA Freak Left Unpublicized"
A: she’s a dumbass
she looks like someone wearing a mask from a low-rent slasher pic
Apolitical? Folks, let’s actually do some journalism please
physicalculturestudy.com/2019/08/09/f...
Aligning with people who don’t believe you have the right to marry who you love is a bold strategy. I’m sure the money is good though.
Sad…..
The MAGA/MAHA grifter mill keeps churning out despicable assholes for the NYT to write fawning articles about.
Fantastic timing as always NYT
Unless after every answer the Times reporter inserted “Are you fucking kidding me???”, I really have no need to read this.
The answer is: Because large media platforms kept giving her oxygen so they could make money. Like, you know, you guys just did. She is a cruel, ignorant show-boater, and y'all are elevating her as if she's something important. The answer is: YOU DID THIS
Fuck her
good to see that your platforming of fascist dumb motherfuckers is consistent as ever. delete your fucking account, you dumb motherfuckers
Yet another dumbf*ck celebrity who knows nothing about politics or government but spouts their pin headed opinions with all the confidence of fact. Eat sh*t and get fat Jillian.
Because she's not a trained health care practitioner and drank the MAHA koolaid. There, saved your readers some time.
She's literally always been like this
Who cares what this quisling dipshit wants or thinks? She made millions of dollars dehumanizing people for entertainment. She can eat shit and fuck off
Maybe she’s just a grifter, maybe it’s not that complicated but sure interview them like they are interesting people that aren’t just looking to make a buck.
Why does the Times keep platforming the dumbest, vilest people?
everyone involved in this story is a bad human that should spend at least a year in seclusion thinking about how wrong their choices have been
Isnt a lot of this because of trashhole newspapers like you? Why are you interviewing her and not her victims? Isn't there a measles epidemic in the US now because of these scum?
Another whackjob looking for a quick pay day.
Is the Times unwell? Someone should speak to it about its transformation.
seriously...
They’re just bootlicking as per norm
The only reason she “transformed.”
Your news room should’ve been in the second tower
Stenography-ass paper
Look, I cancelled my subscription a year ago. Much more of this and I’m going to demand you refund what I paid you before then. God, and to think you used to be a paper worth reading.
You don’t have to do this
This is why Sulzenberger deserves to be in the post-Trump Nuremburg trials.
Did y'all... Did y'all watch the biggest loser?
Platforming yet another midwit fascist crybaby. This one claims a specialty in the study of slavery (see her appaling, racist appearance on CNN recently). NYT all in on authoritarianism.
The hatred is destroying her face.
Time to find all those crappy DVD's in the house and trash them. Time to take the garbage out.
@nytimes.com has transformed from a respected news source to an unfiltered political commentator and a defining voice of the MAGA era.
Please die NYT. Just die. It would be so good for the country if you just died. And take the fucking Washington Examiner. I mean the Bezos Post with you.
god bless the gays that styled her for the photo shoot and did her unbelievably dirty
I appreciate the steady stream of articles you all churn out just to make me feel good about canceling my subscription.
Like leaving a bad relationship, everything that follows reinforces the reality of their toxic behavior.
Tap the sign bsky.app/profile/bigb...
I suddenly imagined a similarly worded headline about Bruce Banner's transformation into the Hulk.
They also had this one today. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/n... How China Influences Elections in America's Biggest City
Democracy dies in euphemisms.
Absolutely. 👍
Just had the same thought lol
shameful shit
No
This is the least original arc ever. All these TV people add an extra decade to their career by becoming MAGA/MAHA simps and hustling supplements to them.
Yes, another demon who absolutely deserves to be heard out in an in-depth interview. Great stuff! Wonderful publication!
She got famous for being mean to overweight people on tv. Come on now
Why? Why would you interview this woman - what are you doing?
Fucking Don Music glow up looking ass
There's not a single one of these feckless morons you all won't tongue bathe, is there?
She’s a hag.
why should we give a shit about her
Nope…
"Wellness authority" to MAGA pipeline was well-documented by people for years. Get it together. Naomi Klein's DOPPELGANGER has an entire section on just that.
Repulsive puff piece written about a repulsive grifter, showing deference to a repulsive, authoritarian regime. That’s you now, I guess.
