Jackie Goldschneider Reveals Body Shame Following Anorexia Recovery

Jackie Goldschneider not a fan of people commenting on her looks.

“So guys, I posted pictures from Jingle Ball. I got a lot of comments that were really scary,” said the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 48, said in a TikTok video uploaded on Monday, December 16. “People call me skinny, juicy, full, big. All kinds of comments like that.”

Goldschneider shared that the comments “were not helpful” even if they were meant to be well-intentioned.

“You can compliment me without commenting on how much weight you think I’ve gained or what you think about my body size. That’s No. 1,” he continued. “No. 2, if you think my body size is full and big, I suggest you approve TikTok and OnlyFans and Instagram and you look around the real world and see what a real woman’s body looks like because real women are not skin and bones. .”

Goldschneider explained that if she wanted to lose weight quickly, she could start using medicines such as Ozempic. However, that approach is not what works best for their well-being.

“If you’re on (Ozempig) – fine,” he said. “But I choose not to because I feel strongly that human beings are meant to feel hunger and they are meant to eat food and they are not meant to be skin and bones.”

Goldschneider urged her followers to be aware of the words they use – especially around young women.

“If you have a daughter, I’m begging you, don’t compliment her by telling her that her body size is bigger,” he said. “Or don’t talk about her body size unless there’s a medical issue you need to address.”

Goldschneider explained that in most scenarios, “if someone has gained weight, I guarantee you they know it.” She also shared that she wasn’t going to let the comments get her down especially when she has been honest about her struggles with an eating disorder.

“If your intention was not to praise me but to passive-aggressively insult me ​​and throw me off my game, that will never happen,” he said back. “I recovered from 20 years of anorexia, and I’m so proud of myself, and I also happen to think that my body is strong and beautiful and, frankly, it’s a work of art f— agony So enjoy looking at it. And yes, that’s it – good talk, guys.”

Goldschneider previously spoke of her struggles in her 2023 memoir, Beautiful Weight.

“I lived a life dominated by hunger, where no one dared to ask me if I needed help. For nearly two decades, my diet followed a strict set of rules that were never stretched or broken, bound to maintain a dangerously low body weight,” she wrote. “There was no flexibility, there were no days off exercise, there were no indulgences. And for all that time, through dating and marriage, infertility, parenting, and eventual fame, it was all done in secret.”

Before opening up about her condition, Goldschneider tried to hide her struggles but much of it RHONJ Costars addressed their concerns about her well-being including Margaret Josephsa Jennifer Aydin. Goldschneider later revealed that being on the reality series helped during her recovery.

“(The show) helped me get better. … I don’t think I would have gotten better if I was the only one holding myself accountable,” he said during a January episode. Jana Kramer“Whine Down” podcast. “So getting the show, so I could do this on a public stage, was a big help for me.”
