Social Media Had Time For Jillian Michaels
It didn’t take long for the clip to go viral, with many dragging Michaels and pointing out that it’s disgusting she would even say something like that because she adopted a Black child. “White people, please do not cancel me for saying this, but Jillian Michaels is exactly the reason why I sometimes have an issue with transracial adoption: ~if & when the white parent is a bigoted conservative, they have no business adopting a Black or POC child,” one post on X, formerly Twitter, read. Another post debunked her 2% argument, stating, “2% is from data that uses a metric counting EVERYONE from the 1860 census—including children & enslaved (counted as 3/5)—and is downright dishonest, disrespectful, and offensive. The truth: 8% of ALL American families, 40-50% white southern families & 50-60% landowners had ‘slaves.” No lies detected. We fully expect Michaels to land on FOX News and Sage Steele’s podcast to defend herself. You can see more reactions in the gallery below.1. Bingo
