NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: 'Her Take' host Jillian Michaels off her own show live on-air this week following a fiery debate about Israel and conservative figure Charlie Kirk.
During the Monday, September 22 episode of the show, Michaels lost her cool when a conversation about Kirk's memorial turned into criticism of Israel.
Jillian Michaels fumes at claims made about Benjamin Netanyahu
51-year-old Jillian Michaels, lead host of the political talk show, was joined by right-wing YouTuber Amy Dangerfield, former DNC fundraiser Lindy Li, and progressive commentator Ana Kasparian.
She became particularly furious after an unsubstantiated claim was made that Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had offered Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA organization $150 million to take on a more pro-Israel stance.
Michaels said, "There's no proof of that, in fact the opposite is true!", as she appeared visibly exasperated by the topic.
"Where is your proof that $150 million was offered from Bibi Netanyahu? Where is the proof?" she pressed Li.
She added, "I didn’t want to cover this and you guys insisted, and I told you if you cover this s**t I'm gonna rip you apart. Where is the proof?"
As the debate escalated, Michaels and Kasparian clashed, with Kasparian eventually yelling, "Hold on! Let me finish my f*****g thought!"

Frustrated, Michaels snapped, "I don't know how every show ends up being about how do we bash Israel." She then snatched up her laptop and pulled off her mic, saying, "This is not for me. I'm not interested in this. I love you guys, I'm sorry. I have zero interest in doing this."
Jillian Michaels says she was misled about segment
Jillian Michaels later joined James Li’s 'Today-ish' podcast on Thursday, September 25, where she addressed her walk-out. The Trump ally said she had been “misled” about the segment before going on air.
She explained, "I said, 'Guys, this has been covered a week ago, this is the first day of Rosh Hashanah, we're gonna look like a**holes doing this literally the day after they buried [Charlie Kirk].'"
Michaels added there were other important aspects of Kirk's shooting they could have focused on, but her co-hosts "insisted" on discussing Israel.

"I do not want a show that just bashes Israel. Now is not the time," she said.
Michaels clarified that while she supports "healthy criticism of Netanyahu and his party," she also expects balance. "Where is the balance?" she asked, claiming Kasparian has "gone down the rabbit hole" on Israel.
When asked if she could ever work with her co-hosts again, Michaels confirmed she would not be returning to 'Her Take.'
