Rosie O’Donnell has strong feelings about Netflix’s “Biggest Loser” docuseries.
After watching “Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser,” O’Donnell publicly called out Jay Leno for how he treated former contestant Tracey Yukich in the doc.
“Jay Leno is a mean a—— #biggestloserdocumentary,” O’Donnell captioned her Instagram post Monday, which included photos of Yukich during a confessional and on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” in the new docuseries.
In “Fit for TV,” Yukich recalled the time she went on Leno’s late-night show and he read her death threats that she had received.
In another Instagram post, O’Donnell called out former “Biggest Loser” trainer Bob Harper who participated in the doc.
“Ok now bob harper – can u not say IM SORRY – seriously- so hurtful- so cruel – come on bob – #biggestLOSERdoc @netflixuk,” O’Donnell wrote alongside pictures of the doc on her TV.
Harper stated in “Fit for TV” that he “will stand behind everything that I’ve ever done” on “The Biggest Loser.” He also denied that he ever “put anyone in harm’s way.”
The Post has reached out to Leno and Harper’s reps for comment.
“Fit for TV” shed lights on the dark side of “The Biggest Loser,” which forced overweight contestant to lose the most weight to stay in the competition. The show aired from 2004 to 2016 before moving to the USA Network for Season 18 in 2020.
During the three-episode doc, Yukich claimed she nearly “died” during the first challenge of the show’s eighth season in 2009.
“In my head, I’m like, ‘I can run, I’ve got four kids,’” Yukich recalled. “‘I’m running after them all the time.’ But it was the longest mile ever.”
Yukich suffered a medical emergency as a result of overexerting herself. “I don’t remember a lot,” she said. “I remember hearing the helicopter. I just felt like I was floating. And then my grandpa was there. And then I saw darkness. But then I saw light. So I knew, I knew I died that day.”
The reality star also admitted that she thought the incident “was my fault because I was fat.”
“Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser” is streaming on Netflix.
