On Wednesday, Frederickson thanked her supporters through a message posted on her Twitter. "I want to thank everyone for the amazing support," the winner wrote. "It's been an incredible journey and I can't wait to start the next chapter of my life."
And after their shocked reactions to Frederickson's weight loss garnered fans' attention, Michaels and Harper both weighed in (no pun intended) on the controversy.
Michaels' rep told E! News, "Jillian Michaels will not comment on Rachel's journey as she was not her trainer. She is celebrating the at-home win of her contestant, Tumi. Any questions about any of the other contestants on the Biggest Loser should be directed to the show's producers." Harper, meanwhile, wrote on his Twitter account, "Jillian and I want to take a moment to congratulate all of the BL contestants on their hard work. We're not comfortable commenting on Rachel's journey because we weren't her trainers and weren't given an opportunity to work with her at any point."
