Court records say the 30-year-old Thomas yelled at a basement tenant to turn down the television, then broke Christmas tree lights and threw flour in his face on Dec. 16.

Thomas says the tenant threw a pan at her and told her to get a pizza. She’s charged with domestic violence. A not-guilty plea was entered. 

The Macomb Daily of Mount Clemens, citing court records, says Thomas weighs 185 pounds, down from 280 when “Biggest Loser,” a weight-loss show, started filming in September.
