NBC’s reality TV show The Biggest Loser has received a lot of backlash over recent seasons – and accusations that the winners are “too skinny” and the trainers are promoting unhealthy dieting and encouraging the contestants too starve themselves. The February 2nd edition of Star Magazine features a tell-all interview with Biggest Loser alum Kai Hibbard, the 2006 Biggest Loser celebrity makes some shocking accusations against NBC and the trainers that she worked with.
According to Kai Hibbard, the reality TV show Biggest Loser was one of the most horrific experiences of her life, although she walked away 121 pounds lighter – the emotional baggage she put on made up for it. Kai sat down with Star Magazine in a tell-all interview and made some shocking accusations against the trainers on Biggest Loser. According to Hibbard, “The whole f—king show is a fat shaming disaster that I am embarrassed to have participated in. You just think that you are so lucky to be there that you don’t question or complain about anything.”
Hibbard went on to reveal to Star some shocking details about her time on the reality TV show. According to Kai, “They would say things to contestants like ‘You’re going to die before your children grow up.’ Or ‘We’ve picked out your fat person coffin’ – that was in a text message. I was only sleeping three hours a night. My thyroid, which I have never had problems with before, is now crap.” Kai explains that while she was on the show she stopped getting her period and even began losing her hair.
In Kai’s exclusive interview with Star Magazine she goes on to reveal that she and the other contestants were basically held hostage in their hotel rooms and not allowed to speak to their friends or family – and then they were all ushered to the ranch for filming and were forced to work out until Kai’s feet were bleeding through her shoes. Kai Hibbard isn’t the first person to call out NBC and the Biggest Loser on their training methods on the show – and from the sounds of it she probably won’t be the last. Do you tune in to the Biggest Loser on NBC? Do you agree that the trainers are going overboard? Do the contestants really have a right to complain, after all they knew what they were getting in to and they should have known that losing that much weight would come at a price?
