Jillian Michaels is "heartbroken" over the media suggesting that the personal trainer was afraid she would "ruin" her body if she were to get pregnant.
The fitness guru, who recently came out as bisexual in Ladies Home Journal, told Access Hollywood that she was misquoted in telling Women's Health magazine that she feared she would ruin her body of she were pregnant.
The Biggest Loser trainer went on the record saying, "I never ever said that."
"The word 'won't' and the word 'ruin' are not even in the article," Jillian said insistently. "It's amazing, everybody's asking about this and I'm like, 'Did you read the article?' 'No I didn't read the article.'"
What Michaels told the magazine about pregnancy is: "I'm going to adopt," and, "I can't handle doing that to my body."
Michaels said she was shocked by the public's reaction.
"I can't understand how people can judge or question something that they haven't even bothered to find out if it's real or not," she told Access Hollywood.
Attempting to set the record straight, Michaels said, "It's more complicated, way more complicated than that and again, that's not what I'm here to do today, but I used the word 'can't' and I used the word 'handle,'" said Michaels. "'Handle' is not 'ruin' and 'can't' is not 'won't."
"'Won't' is a choice," Jillian added.
"I'm disappointed about the way that my words have been twisted by the media. 'Heartbroken' is actually more the word I'm looking for," she said. "I support all women in any and every endeavor they choose and I wish that they would do the same for me."
