Fitness guru and Biggest Loser star Jillian Michaels said California got “too crazy” for her so she ditched her home state for Florida.

“California got too crazy for me,” Michaels told Sage Steele on Wednesday on The Sage Steele Show.

Michaels said the state has gone “too far” for her despite holding a “million cards” in “woke victimology poker.”

“I grew up here. I’m a woman. I’m a gay woman. My mom’s a Jew. My dad’s an Arab. I have a Black kid. And believe it or not, my son is half Latin, even though he doesn’t look like it. I hold a million cards in your game of woke victimology poker. And when I leave California, maybe you’ve lost your fucking mind. Just maybe! ” she said. “When you have me running from home, maybe it’s gone way too far.”

Michaels pointed to a number of recent policies in California, arguing that plenty is being decriminalized, but the state is not keeping up with the right regulations.

“Some of these laws that are passing here are absolutely fucking mind boggling. In relation to crime, protecting our kids, like, we’re decriminalizing everything, which arguably I would probably be okay with but we’re not regulating any of it,” she said. “So it’s like, okay, you’re gonna decriminalize sex work but only so women can loiter on the streets, not to keep them safe, not to have them pay taxes, not to make them, you know, regularly check for STDs, not to take away the pimps out of the equation.”

Michaels called the state pure “madness” and argued modern liberals go too far for her.

“The fact that a 12-year-old child can be put on off-label cancer drugs to irreparably change their body. If my son came to me and said, ‘Mom’ — or my daughter — ‘I think I’m trans,'” she said. “I’d say okay, you know, like, you want to dress this way. You want me to call you whatever the heck you want, dress, fine. Explore it. I love you. I’m cool, do you as long as we’re safe, but we’re not changing your body until it’s fully developed. I’m sorry. Conversation’s over. Can’t get a fucking tattoo!”

Michaels previously offered criticism of California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in a February interview with Bill Maher on his Club Random podcast. The fitness railed against inflation and described living in Florida as “less crazy” than living in California.
