Among those was 48-year-old Jillian Michaels, who claimed she was already aware of Woods’ antics and knew “he was an ass**** ages ago.”

“He put the moves on a very good friend of mine,” Michaels said to a magazine not long after the scandal broke out. “I knew he was an ass**** ages ago, I did.”

Additionally, the Los Angeles-born revealed that she came to know about the incident through Twitter, but was expecting a storm to blow anyway. “Sorry. I didn’t need to watch the news to find that out,” she claimed.

Undoubtedly, she made her opinions and stance clear on the raging issue. She made the comments while appearing at ‘The Biggest Loser’ season-eight finale. The reality show featured overweight contestants competing to win a cash prize for losing weight. It ran for 18 seasons, with its first show airing in 2004. Michaels was one of the regular cast members, helping contestants lose weight on the show.

What happened to Woods after the scandal?

The 47-year-old’s scandal shook the golf world, with every embarrassing detail closely followed by the media. Much like Michaels’ burst, several notable people shunned their ties with Woods for fear of getting pulled into the limelight. Moreover, a number of brands also moved in to end their sponsorship deals with the golf legend.

At that time, the 15-time major champion was considered the face of the sport, which resulted in a legion of deals. However, only a few of them stood by Woods to face the storm. It turned out to be an exceptional decision, as Woods, despite no longer being on the course regularly, has remained one of the most popular players in the sport.
