Rosie O'Donnell calls out Jay Leno for 'mean' 2009 segment with 'Biggest Loser' star
Rosie O'Donnell is never one to hold back. In an Aug. 19 Instagram post, she called out fellow TV icon Jay Leno for a mean-spirited 2009 segment from "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," which was revisited in the new Netflix docuseries "Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser." In the caption of the post, which featured photos of "The Biggest Loser's" Tracey Yukich in the three-episode series, O'Donnell, 63, wrote that Leno was "mean." The "Fit for TV" scene she referenced was one in which Yukich, a Season 8 contestant, tearfully recounted Leno reading her death threats submitted by "Biggest Loser" viewers. The "Tonight Show" encounter originally aired Nov. 3, 2009. USA TODAY has reached out to a representative for Leno for comment. Though many lost weight throughout the series, the tactics at times posed a risk to participants and their esteem; Yukich suffered a near-death experience early in her season, which aired in 2009. A mom of four, she'd started Season 8 weighing 250 pounds. On the first day of filming "Loser," Yukich and her fellow contestants had to run a mile on a beach. With so much on the line, Yukich darted for the finish line, but her body began shutting down. She went from running to crawling to being pulled to the end by her competitors, and then she collapsed. Yukich had developed rhabdomyolysis, described by the Cleveland Clinic as a condition that causes muscles to disintegrate. "When this happens, toxic components of your muscle fibers enter your circulation system and kidneys." Yukich told USA TODAY that she spent more than three weeks in the hospital before resuming the competition, and ultimately shed 118 pounds. "I'm thankful that I was a part of (the show) because it did change my life," she said. "I really meant what I said at the end (when I) said that I was the one that changed my life. I was the one that did the work." 'Fit for TV': What 'Biggest Loser' alumni have to say about the show now Rosie O'Donnell: Bob Harper was 'cruel' on 'The Biggest Loser' O'Donnell also had something to say about another person who appeared in the "Fit for TV" docuseries: trainer Bob Harper. The series' participants had mixed views on Harper, who admitted in an episode that he'd "never worked with obese people. ... I worked with very fit people that were trying to be a size 0 or have a six-pack. It was a huge wakeup call for me." Jillian Michaels breaks her silence, comments on 'Biggest Loser' doc, co-star Bob Harper Season 7 competitor Joelle Gwynn, who got into an argument with Harper during her time on the show over not lasting 30 seconds on the treadmill, said: "I've never seen someone get abused like that. It was very, very, very, very embarrassing." In her Aug. 19 post, O'Donnell wrote, "k now bob harper − can u not say IM SORRY." She added, "Seriously – so hurtful – so cruel - come on bob." On "Fit for TV," Olivia Ward described her much warmer relationship with Harper, saying she'd named her first child after him. Contributing: Erin Jensen, USA TODAY

Frank Caprio, Rhode Island TV judge known for his compassion, dies at 88
Judge Frank Caprio, who handed down compassion from the bench on the local television series 'Caught in Providence,' earning himself and the show national attention, has died. He was 88. A post on his official Facebook page Wednesday confirmed that Caprio 'passed away peacefully' following a 'long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.' Caprio disclosed his diagnosis in 2023 in a clip posted to Instagram in which he asked for prayers. 'Beloved for his compassion, humility, and unwavering belief in the goodness of people, Judge Caprio touched the lives of millions through his work in the courtroom and beyond,' the post reads. 'His warmth, humor, and kindness left an indelible mark on all who knew him.' Beyond being a respected judge, Caprio is remembered as 'a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend.' The post concludes, 'His legacy lives on in the countless acts of kindness he inspired. In his honor, may we each strive to bring a little more compassion into the world — just as he did every day.' A 'Rhode Island treasure' Caprio was born into an Italian-American family in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1936, according to a profile from Rhode Island Monthly. He graduated from Suffolk University School of Law, after attending night school. He rose to prominence on the local access channel series 'Caught in Providence,' where his compassionate rulings often went viral and drew national coverage from outlets like NBC News. The judge went on to become a household name when the show was syndicated and later became available on Prime Video. Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee spoke to Caprio's effort to connect to the public in a 'meaningful way' in news release issued following the judge's death. 'Judge Caprio was a Rhode Island treasure,' the statement begins. 'On a personal level, he was a friend who faced his illness with bravery, and I will miss him dearly. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.' McKee also ordered Rhode Island flags at state agencies and buildings to be flown at half-staff in honor of Caprio. 'Judge Caprio not only served the public well, but he connected with them in a meaningful way, and people could not help but respond to his warmth and compassion,' the statement continues. 'He was more than a jurist — he was a symbol of empathy on the bench, showing us what is possible when justice is tempered with humanity.' He concludes, 'Whether you grew up watching Judge Caprio on television or first saw his kindness touch lives around the world on social media, there is no question that his legacy will leave a lasting mark across generations.' Rhode Island Senate leaders also reflected on Caprio's career and contributions to the state. In a joint statement, President Valarie J. Lawson, Senate Majority Leader Frank A. Ciccone III, and Senate Majority Whip David P. Tikoian provided the following statement: 'Judge Caprio embodied the spirit of Rhode Island and its people. He truly saw the humanity in everyone, and his compassion inspired countless acts of kindness across the world. The entire Senate family mourns the passing of Judge Caprio and extends its heartfelt condolences to his loved ones.'
