A California woman has filed class-action lawsuit against The Biggest Loser’s Jillian Michael, who she claims is endorsing a diet supplement that contains false advertising.
Christie Christensen sued Michaels, a trainer on NBC’s popular reality weight loss challenge, in Los Angeles on Tuesday. According to court documents, obtained by TMZ.com, Christie purchased a product called Calorie Control — which Jillian endorses — during a trip to her local health & wellness store last month. After excitedly embarking on her new fitness plan and ever to shed some weight, Christie was disappointed to find that the product failed to curb her appetite.
She hasn’t lost a single pound and is now convinced that she’s been duped.
Christensen is also suing Calorie Control’s Utah-based manufacturer, Basic Research.
