LOS ANGELES (Legal Newsline) - Fitness personality Jillian Michaels can sue the law firm Greenberg Traurig over allegedly bad advice she received when she signed conflicting contracts with the “Biggest Loser” TV show and a diet supplement company that later was accused of false advertising.
The California Second Appellate District Court of Appeal reversed a lower court’s decision dismissing the claims by Michaels and her personal holding company Empowered Media. The trial judge improperly rejected an opinion from a financial expert Michaels hired on her lost future profits, the appellate court ruled, and also erred by refusing to accept her argument she could have negotiated better deals if she had been properly advised.
