According to a recent article by the New York Post, Jillian Michaels has expressed her opinion on leaving California and is blaming the governor for the same.The celebrity fitness expert told California Post that the primary reason why she left California was the higher cost of living. Michaels also mentioned that the people there never get the benefits of their tax money.Currently, Jillian Michaels is living with her family in Wyoming. She had moved there in 2021.“It’s the state with the highest cost of living. Highest gas prices, highest income tax, the highest housing, highest rent, highest everything. And people get nothing for the money they’re paying,” Jillian Micheals told the California Post.Jillian Michaels also expressed her anger about California wildfires and blamed Governor Gavin Newsom for vetoing SB 326 in October 2025. Through more stringent, modern, and proactive forest management planning, the bill aims to improve wildfire prevention.Jillian Michaels is incensed over the wildfires that destroyed hundreds of homes last year, many of which have not yet been restored, and blames infrastructural flaws, such as the Santa Ynez Reservoir, which was empty when the fires occurred.

The state burns down every five seconds and it’s absolutely manageable. And yet, everything is done wrong… but it’s so obvious how to fix it. You should have not vetoed the bill for forestry management,” said Jilian Murphy.Additionally, she asserts that the governor is a shill for Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), "one of the top contributors to his campaign," since he issued a safety certificate to the firm in February 2022, enabling it to collect payments from customers for damages caused by wildfires.The book Fool's Gold: The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All claims that Newsom and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, have collected at least $700,000 in donations from PG&E. Two of Siebel Newsom's films have PG&E listed as an associate producer.The writers of Fools Gold accused Newsom of giving the utility corporation a huge discount when a downed PG&E power line triggered the Camp Fire in northern California, which destroyed over 153,000 acres,13,500 houses, and killed 85 people.According to Newsom's office, since taking office in 2018, he has not accepted any gifts from PG&E and has done more than any other California governor to hold the company accountable.According to CBS, a 2024 California state audit found that the state spent around $24 billion on homelessness over five years but neglected to monitor the program's effectiveness.About Jillian MichaelsBorn on February 18, 1974, in Los Angeles, California, Jillian Michaels is a renowned American personal trainer, television personality, producer, businesswoman, and author who rose to fame as an intense fitness coach on NBC's The Biggest Loser.
