Right but Jackie's tude didn't help matters. She should've said something to Brian. She should've also apologized herself to the girl since they were in her place of business and it was her employee making the comments.

I am not happy with Jackie and how she reacted to Brian,actually I am very disappointed in her. She should feel bad at how this is a negative reflection on her especially being on Tv. She could have at least told Brian that she would have Lisa apologize to the young lady. Inste}ad she took this opportunity to get rid of him when she could have had a brief conversation and let him know aplogies would had been made and that this matter was now closed.

Fallout! Gatorade has pulled it's sponsorship.
quote:On behalf of The Gatorade Company, we want to thank you for contacting us and sharing your concerns about the relationship Propel has with the TV show The Workout, specifically around the incident where one of Jackie Warner’s trainers makes a comment to Jackie about a client’s breasts. What made this exchange even more troubling was the discovery the woman being discussed is a breast cancer survivor. We have watched the episode in question, and we too were surprised and saddened to see the conversations unfold between these trainers. Since this episode aired, we have heard from many viewers of The Workout who are also consumers of our product, and we understand and relate to your disappointment in what occurred. We have notified Bravo we no longer wish to be associated with The Workout and will be pulling our commercials. Furthermore, we will not renew our sponsorship of this program in subsequent seasons. Please note, because this season’s episodes, and past seasons’ episodes, have already been filmed and edited, moving forward you may still continue to see Propel used in the show. We take very seriously the concerns you have shared, and we understand why there is discomfort for our consumers with an association of Propel and The Workout, given the unfortunate events that unfolded during this week’s episode. We hope our immediate actions send a clear message to the community that we greatly value what you have to say, agree with your sentiments, and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with us.

They got their facts slightly wrong. The woman who made the comments was not a trainer (she was the office manager). And didn't they both apologize to the boyfriend? I disagree that Jackie took this opp to get rid of Peeler. He was gonna be out of there sooner rather than later anyways.

Yes, they did apologize to the boyfriend. Enough already. Geez! Personally, I'm glad Peeler is gone for whatever reason.

I don't recall Jackie actually commenting back to that office girl after she mentioned the client's breasts. Did I blink or am I just crazy? I have it DVR'd so I could watch it again, but I'm just too lazy to search for that part. I was thinking as I watched it that they must have edited out Jackie's part of the conversation, because I hadn't heard her say anything. That office girl is a piece of work! Don't these "reality show" people ever stop to think that others will watch the show and see what is being said about them? They all speak so negatively about Jackie that I wonder if it is all just part of a very scripted show. If my employees were to talk about me that way, I'd fire all of them! Then again, she shouldn't be cavorting with her staff the way she does. It's all rather slutty feeling to me.

I wondered why they "fuzzed" out all the bottles of water in last night show. I don't have much thoughts on Peeler as a person but the way Jackie shut him down was very poor judgement on her part. He had a right to be concerned about his client and Jackie should have already gone to him and apologized. I know they could have edited it in a bad way but it made jackie look really bad.

yes, they apologized to the boyfriend when they got caught talking about the woman. The boyfriend also went to Peeler and told him what happened, so apparently he was not satisfied with how Jackie and Lisa dealt with it. How far would they have gone if the boyfriend didn't step in? Do they talk about all the clients this way or just Peelers? It was over the line. Hello, the cameras were there, WHY would you make comments like that (ever), especially when you are being recorded? I love Jackies "The good things get cut in the editing room" Its another of those reality show "realities" No one can make it look like you said something, if it comes out of your mouth, take responsibility for it. According to Lisa, what DID get cut was the things that Jackie said about the woman. I would think that Peeler wanted to talk to her about it, I would. If all she would have done was listened to what he had to say and admit yes it happened we apologized to the boyfriend... this could have been worked out. Im sorry, even if the woman had NOT been a survivor of breast cancer it is unnecessary to talk about people like that, it is why people like myself do not go to a gym, i workout at home. Her employee made a comment that should not have been made and instead of dealing with that employee she got on the defensive with Peeler. I am not saying that he is any better than her, they battle, I get it. However when you are running a business, anything your employees do or say in your business reflects on you. I think it would have been better if we would have heard what Jackie said AND if we would have seen the boyfriend step in! Jackie has issues and instead of focusing on Rebecca with her therapist she should be focusing on herself. She makes everyone else out to be the bad guy.

Huk, please go and check. I have a feeling that if they are already fuzzing out the bottles, the whole scene will be drastically changed for the repeats.

Mocha, I agree with you - it's not enough already. I've got $5.00 that says at some time in the future, we will see Jackie doing some sort of charity benefit thing for breast cancer. Can you say "damage control?"

I don't know, I really liked Jackie the first season but this season has tanked in my opinion. To me she is another "reality star" who has begun to believe her own press. Her remarks to the trainers about the sky people showed not a bit of caring. I know that one lady is nothing but excuses but to me Jackie and her trainer should have gone to her privately and talked with her with the option of getting it together or going back to a normal workout and trying the sky club thing at a later date. She just seems mean anymore.

Yes, last night she seemed particularly mean. I felt sorry for the girl full of excuses. If she was not ready for the accelerated program they should have known that and not put her in. I'm sure they have to evaluate these people for sky club.

Ita with Mocha who Ita's with Grooch, who Ita's with Terolyn. I hadn't even been in this thread till now, but this show seems so mean spirited this season compared to last.

I'm getting a bit tired of the constant Jackie products, too. It's almost like Workout has run it's course with being sorta cute and charming.

Jackie should be ashamed of herself and that a product endorsement was pulled. That means something is WRONG.Even if Brian was a pain in her side should have at least told him that the apology had been been made and if he still persisted then he was truly insubordiante and thus fired.She does not come out of this situation looking favorable.

ITA with YAY for the sponsors running away! As a breast cancer survivor who had implants after my mastectomies, and subsequently had them removed because my body actually rejected them, I have to wear prosthetics. I would never, ever, go to a gym and feel comfortable that someone wasn't eyeing their unnatural movements or looks. It's bad enough to have had cancer, but then to be deformed is pretty humiliating at times. I question Bravo though. WHY did they even show this stuff if they knew these comments and actions would hurt people? They also shot themselves in the foot, because what kind of dumbhead powers that be would think this would be good for the ratings?
