Popular celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak has once again found himself at the center of controversy as allegations of mind control and manipulation resurface. Some people believe that Pasternak is somehow responsible for Page’s transition into a male.

To give you some context, Pasternak is a well-known Hollywood fitness expert who trains some of the most famous people, including Adam Levine, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, Ariana Grande, and most notably, Kanye West. Additionally, others allege that Pasternak previously trained now-deceased celebs like Brittany Murphy and Mac Miller. 

In November 2022, Pasternak made headlines after West backhandedly accused him of drugging him. He posted a series of tweets stating that he was "drugged" out of his mind to make him easier to control. "What should be obvious by now is that I was raised to stand for my truth regardless of the consequences," he wrote. "So I will say this again, I was mentally misdiagnosed and nearly drugged out of my mind to make me a manageable well behaved celebrity."

West proceeded to upload screenshots of the purported text messages between him and the trainer. The person he was communicating with sounded threatening, stating that he would institutionalize West. The text read, "I'm going to help you one of a couple ways... First, you and I sit down and have an loving and open conversation, but you don't use cuss words, and everything that is discussed is based in fact, and not some crazy stuff that dumb friend of yours told you, or you saw in a tweet."

He added, "Second option, I have you institutionalized again where they medicate the crap out of you, and you go back to Zombieland forever. Play date with the kids just won't be the same." First of all, if these messages are real, how would a celebrity fitness trainer have the ability to get someone sent to a mental hospital? Second of all, the psychiatrists are the ones who have a say-so in prescriptions – yet, the messages allude that the sender of the texts has agency in choosing the medication. How odd. 

West didn’t stop there. He told his fans that if he was to “expose the truth,” then everything would be taken away from him, including his kids. "I was told that if I expose the truth of the bad business practices everything is gonna be taken from me," he said. "Including my black children And everyone has bore whiteness to the public Emmett Tilling of Ye But GOD has put something on my heart not to backdown." Interestingly, people later discovered that Ye was at Pasternak's home when cops responded to a welfare check in 2016. TMZ reporters tried to question Pasternak, but he wasn't "saying much." 

The rapper’s posts fueled endless theories of Pasternak being some kind of MK-Ultra “handler," and the trainer's background is interesting, to say the least. He served as a nutrition and exercise scientist at the Department of National Defence's Defence and Civil Institute for Environmental Medicine for several years. According to old screenshots, this information was scrubbed off his Wikipedia page. 

These rumors deepened when people found out Pasternak also researched drugs while in the military. In one exclusive interview, the trainer said he wasn't "governed by the same laws" as the typical person, so he was able to "research all kinds of drugs." 

Adding fuel to the fire, the attention has now turned to another of Pasternak’s clients, Ellen Page (who now goes by Elliot Page). Page transitioned in 2020 and openly identified as a transgender male. Recently, snippets of Page’s new interview with the Los Angeles Times made rounds on the internet. The Juno star revealed she heard a voice in her head that compelled her to transition following a psychotic episode of self-harm (it’s unknown if she was institutionalized for that). People say it sounds like an internal monologue, but Page's friend Rendall said there was a "heavy presence" that was "almost like a ghost" that existed prior to Page coming out. 

Not too long after these hypnotic-sounding suggestions, a doctor approved Page for top surgery. This revelation has led the audience to believe that Pasternak may have played a sinister role in drugging her. "This is not good. Pasternak is the same 'personal trainer' who drugged Kanye into 'Zombieland,'" writes @renderfish. "Ellen Page chopped her tits off three days after hearing voices in her head and having a 'psychotic break.'"

This rumor isn’t exactly new. In 2022, one fan wrote about their concerns about Pasternak and Page. "Page has always been androgynous, but it wasn’t until just recently that they started talking about transitioning,” they wrote, as first reported by Poptopic.

They continued, “It wasn’t until Page was 27 years old that they even came out as a lesbian. Then in 2020, she comes out as a transgender male, only a year after Harley Pasternak was recommended to her as Elliot Page’s personal trainer for Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy.”

“Page looks very ill and malnourished through the first two seasons. How is this possible when they have someone who is supposed to be one of the world’s best personal trainers? Am I crazy, or is it likely that Harley Pasternak drugged them and manipulated her into believing that they were trans?”

These allegations are still speculative, but it’s obvious that social media users cannot ignore them. (After all, the coincidences are many). Meanwhile, Pasternak has yet to address the claims.
