On NBC’s The Biggest Loser, trainer Jillian Michaels is known for her no-bull-allowed attitude in the gym as she attempts to help her obese pupils drop massive amounts of weight in a very short time. But one woman is now seeking class-action status for a lawsuit that claims Jillian should have had the same no-nonsense stance toward a diet supplement she’s lent her name to.<\/p>\n
In a suit filed yesterday in a Los Angeles court, Christie Christensen alleges false advertising of a product called Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Calorie Control, which she claims did nothing to curb her appetite or help her shed pounds.<\/p>\n
At the crux of the lawsuit is the product’s slogan, “Two Capsules Before Main Meals and You Lose Weight… That’s It!” <\/p>\n
In the suit, which also names manufacturer Basic Research and seeks unspecified damages, the plaintiff states, “Ms. Michaels knows better — taking two pills before eating does not miraculously cause weight loss.” <\/p>\n
The court filing states Christensen purchased the product because it was endorsed by Michaels, who also lends her name to at least four other diet supplements, along with a handful of other fitness products.<\/p>\n
