Celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels says she moved from California because her move to the left became “too crazy” for her.
Michaels moved with his wife DeShanna Marie Minuto and adopted their children Lukensia, 14, and Phoenix, 12, from Los Angeles, where he grew up, to Miami in June 2021.
He previously said the final straw was when an intruder broke into his home with “duct tape and a video camera” and was released from jail due to Covid.
Michaels frequently blames Governor Gavin Newsom for what he doesn’t like about California, and expanded on that theme in Sage Steele’s article. podcast.
The former reality TV star was among notable celebrities, such as Elon Musk and Sean Hannity, who moved from liberal-leaning states like New York and California to Republican-governed states like Florida and Texas, which have no state income taxes.

Michaels said the liberal state was decriminalizing crimes such as drugs and prostitution, which she primarily supported, but did not subsequently regulate.
“Some of these laws being passed here are absolutely mind-blowing,” he said.
“In relation to crime, protecting our children, we’re decriminalizing everything, which you could say would probably be fine, but we’re not regulating any of that.”
Michaels used prostitution as an example and said she would say “yes, of course” if this was followed by regulation to protect sex workers.
“They are going to decriminalize sex work, but only so that women can loiter on the streets, not to keep them safe, so that they do not pay taxes, so that they are not forced to periodically check for sexually transmitted diseases, so as not to eliminate the pimps of the equation.” ,’ she said.
‘I could be liberal! I could go with you! I grew up this way!’
Michaels said she felt very liberal in California, but over time the state’s politics shifted to the left and she stayed where she was.
‘I grew up here. I’m a woman. I am a gay woman. My mom is Jewish. My dad is Arab. I have a black son. And believe it or not, my son is half Latino, even though he doesn’t look like it,’ she said.
Michaels said California was decriminalizing crimes such as drugs and prostitution, which she primarily supported, but did not regulate them later.
Michaels frequently blames Governor Gavin Newsom (pictured) for what he dislikes about California, saying he left specifically because of him.
I have a million cards in your woke victimology poker game. And when I leave California, you might have lost your mind. Just maybe! Like when you have me running away from home, maybe I’ve gone too far.
Michaels then returned to an issue he frequently criticized: allowing sex changes for minors.
She was quick to point out that she was not anti-trans, she was simply critical of children her son’s age being given “unapproved cancer drugs to irreparably change their bodies.”
‘If my son came to me and said, ‘Mom’ – or my daughter – ‘I think I’m trans.’ I’d say okay, you want to dress this way, you want me to call you whatever you want…okay, explore it. I love you,’ she said.
“I’m fine as long as we’re safe, but we won’t change your body until it’s fully grown.” I’m sorry. The conversation is over. I can’t get a fucking tattoo!’
Last week, the health expert enthusiastically welcomed the American College of Pediatricians’ call for other medical groups to stop promoting puberty blockers, hormone medications and gender surgery to children.

Michaels regularly goes after Newsom and said even Florida was “less crazy” with him in charge, blaming his policies for the home invasion.
‘Guess who let the guy out during Covid, because I got the letter. Newsom!’ he said on Real Time with Bill Maher in February.
‘It was the guy’s third offense, he broke into our house, he had duct tape and a video camera. Anyway, long story, third strike, guy goes to jail and they let him free during Covid. I mean, give me a damn break.
Not long after, he packed his bags and moved to Miami, insisting, “I left because of him (Newsom),” but even that was dramatic.
Michaels called the police on his FlatRate moving companies and then sued them, claiming they damaged 80 percent of his family’s belongings and lost $30,000 worth of clothing, tools and outdoor furniture.
She later married fashion designer Minuto in July 2022, and separated from Rhoades in June 2018. She has 40-60 joint custody of Lukensia and Phoenix with her ex.
