The Biggest Loser Scandal: Did Bob Harper Promote Bulimia, Diet Pills?

A show focused on helping people lose weight is meant to be motivating and, at times, heartbreaking.



Yet, NBC’s The Biggest Loser has been plagued with accusations, from extreme weight loss to creating an unrealistic environment for contestants to continue after they leave the show.


A few contestants have revealed that they gained all of the weight they lost, and then some.  This led to an even bigger discussion about metabolism and extreme weight loss.


Now, Los Angeles County police are looking into possibly “drug activity” at the King Gillette Ranch, where contestants stayed during their time on the show.


A few contestants have come forward with claims that trainer Bob Harper not only handed out appetite-suppressants, he also promoted eating disorders.


The point of The Biggest Loser is to retrain those with obesity issues to lose weight the healthy way, through diet and exercise.


TV ratings, however, matter more.


According to Radar Online, season two contestant Suzanne Mendonca claims that “People would take amphetamines, water pills and diuretics,” and vomit in the bathroom.



“I vomited every single day,” Mendonca admitted.


“Bob Harper tells people to throw up: ‘Good,’ he says. ‘You’ll lose more calories.’”


Joelle Gwynn participated on the “couples” season, and remembers Harper’s assistant giving her “a drug inside a brown paper bag,” and telling her that it would “really help” her lose weight.


Then, Gwynn said, the show’s physician, Dr. Robert Huizenga “gave us some lame explanation of why (the drugs) got added to our regimen and that it was up to us to take them.”


Dr. Huizenga refuted these claims, clarifying that the show administered drug tests to make sure diuretics and other weight-loss drugs weren’t being used.


Gwynn doesn’t buy it, though, and recalls Harper telling her off-camera to lie about her caloric intake of 1500 per day.


“I want you to do 800 calories or as little as you can,” Harper allegedly told his charge, likely in hopes that she would lose the most amount of weight and win the competition.


Harper spoke up about the claims, calling them “absolutely false.”


Trainer Jillian Michaels left the show in 2014 amid disagreements with producers.  Though she never stated exactly why, some wonder if it was due to the treatment of contestants.


“I went to them and said I’d like to see these changes and they said no,” Michaels told the Daily Mail.


“So, I did not quit; they basically said, ‘No we’re not interested in changing x, y and z, so we will part ways.


“In all fairness, it was their show, so I said if we can’t do this, this and this, I’d like to be released, and they said you’re released.”

Harper Lee Dies; To Kill a Mockingbird Author Was 89

Harper Lee – the author best known for the iconic 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird – has passed away at the age of 89.



A county coroner confirmed today that Lee passed away at an assisted living facility in Monroeville – the small Alabama town that she called home throughout most of her life.


In addition to winning the Pulitzer Prize and serving as the basis of a classic film, To Kill a Mockingbird has become a perennial favorite in both classrooms and bookstores.


Astonishingly, 56 years after its publication, the book still sells over one million copies every year.


The book’s themes of racial injustice and the importance of aiding the oppressed have helped it remain continuously relevant – and widely beloved – throughout several generations.


Lee was a lifelong friend of author Truman Capote (the character of Dill in Mockingbird is based on a young Capote) and she assisted him in researching his famous “non-fiction novel” In Cold Blood.


Despite spending much of her life avoiding the spotlight, Lee made headlines last year with the news that a sequel to Mockingbird entitled Go Set a Watchman would be released several decades after it was penned.


The controversial novel became an instant bestseller.


Lee never married or had children, but she was fiercely beloved by the people of Monroeville – the tiny town that helped inspire one of the great literary works of the 20th Century.

Jonathan Papelbon -- Jerseys Pulled from Stadium Shop ... After Bryce Harper Attack

Z STAFF


Exclusive Details

0928-papelbon-twitter-jerseyJonathan Papelbon is on the outs in Washington D.C. — at least his jerseys are … because staffers at the stadium team shop confirm the pitcher’s jerseys have been pulled off the shelves. 


TMZ Sports spoke with an employee at the stadium shop at Nationals Park who confirmed … one of the shop honchos ordered staff to yank all of Papelbon’s jerseys off the floor Monday — after the team suspended the pitcher 4 games for attacking Bryce Harper on Sunday. 


A picture of the jersey removal was taken by Nationals fan Jennifer Shiffman — who noted the switch happened as the Nationals took to the field for Monday’s game. 


As of this post, you can still get Papelbon gear on the team’s online shop — but we’re guessing the clock’s ticking on that too.
