Former Biggest Loser trainer Dolvett Quince is staying out of the show’s latest drama.
After his former colleague, Jillian Michaels, came forward dropping receipts on social media to clear her name about claims made in Netflix’s 3-part docuseries, Quince, 52, thinks Michaels, 51, needs to grow up.
“I think everything that happened between the network and Jillian and her relationships with Dr Huizenga, her relationship with Bob, I think all of that is isolated on the adults fighting in a big sandbox,” Quince exclusively tells Parade. “I really don’t care what they’re arguing about.”
Quince continues, “I really more care about these contestants, their lives. I care about helping people. I don’t care about these individuals and these egos that are saying what they’re saying, if I’m being honest with you.”

Last, Michaels took to social media with a string of posts targeted towards NBC executives and producers, the show’s medical staff and another show trainer, Bob Harper, in hopes of clearing her name from accusations made about her in the documentary. She has also threatened legal action, though Netflix shared in their last episode that Michaels declined providing commentary for their series.
And while the Tabula retreat owner doesn’t “really follow her on social platforms,” he admits the information has been presented to him, including one of Michael’s receipts about Rachel Frederickson’s drastic weight loss reveal at the finale.
“Dolvett is extremely upset about how [sic] is being cast and I think it’s a little unfair,” she shared in a direct email from Paul Telegdy, who was the Chairman of NBC Entertainment in 2015.

Unlike Michaels, Quince admits he was not approached to participate in the project.
“I approached David Broome because it was a shock to me,” Quince explains. “[I’d be] seeing contests like, ‘Oh my god, are you in this docuseries? You were on the show for so long.'”
“And it was said to me through producers, ‘This is a hit thing,” Quince adds. “‘This is actually before your time. This is at the beginning.’ You see they’ll go til Season 8, I think, is the longest that they talk. They show clips of Season 11 and beyond that I was in. But I think in doing a docuseries, you have a limited amount of time.”

Quince says he still keeps in touch with several producers and contestants from the show. For now, he is busy focusing on his current projects, like his OCA web app and sharing resourceful information on hormone health. Launching later this year, the app is aimed at helping men and women of a certain age, primarily from 40-60.
“There’s still a thread there with that part of my life that I will always hold dear to myself,” Quince says. “I will always stay connected to those people.”
