Chloe’s Latest Show Is Not What We Need
After parting ways with her partner, Chloe Turner turned to fitness as a coping mechanism. Naturally, her impressive transformation has led to the creation of a new show—because it seems no personal experience goes untapped for profit in the spotlight. “I used to accept how people labeled me,” she shared in an interview last spring. “When I was called the ‘heavy sister,’ I would say, ‘Yeah, I’m just big-boned.’ We often laugh off what hurts us. Eventually, I took a challenging time in my life, my divorce, and turned it into something positive.”
And what’s the positive aspect? Enter her new show, “Revenge Body.” The premise? Transform your physique to seek “revenge” on someone who may have wronged you. Honestly, it’s disheartening.
I’m not here to bash Chloe—I truly admire her success and the way she’s built her empire. Yet, as someone who has struggled with body image issues and eating disorders, I find this show’s concept troubling. The messages being sent are profoundly unhealthy.
Examining the Show’s Messaging
Let’s examine her promotional images for the show, shall we? “My fitness journey was for myself and myself alone.” Right, because naming the show “Revenge Body” screams self-focus. It’s baffling how she managed to deal with her past size. Did she have to navigate her way through doors like the character in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?
She claims, “Revenge body goes beyond a physical change. It’s a spiritual and emotional evolution.” Oh, really? That deeper emotional content must have been left out of the trailer, which featured intense workouts, makeovers, and spandex outfits. Spirituality, indeed.
Honestly, Chloe, how did you come to terms with your reflection back then? That bikini you wore must have been a size six—how gross!
The imagery she’s using is disheartening. Many women understand the struggle of looking in the mirror and feeling uncomfortable in their skin, believing they are ‘too heavy.’ There was nothing wrong with Chloe’s body before. This entire concept promotes the dangerous notion that unless you’re painfully thin, you’re not attractive. And what exactly constitutes a “revenge body”? Would you truly want someone back who wouldn’t love you at a different weight?
Growing up surrounded by beautiful women, Chloe likely faced challenges in self-acceptance. Somewhere along the line, she was led to believe she didn’t fit in—and that’s a shame. Thus, we have “Revenge Body,” which is truly disheartening.

Summary
Chloe Turner’s new show, “Revenge Body,” promotes the unhealthy idea that physical transformation should be motivated by revenge rather than self-love. While Chloe’s personal journey is admirable, the messaging behind the show could be harmful to viewers struggling with body image issues.
