Jackie #RHONJ https://t.co/bbSCH1PojwJackie Goldschneider opens up about her eating disorder to her husband, EvanRHONJ star Jackie broke down during a conversation with her husband Evan Goldschneider on episode three, telling him about her anorexia relapsing."I'm so scared of food and I'm so scared of gaining weight but I'm hungry all the time. I'm afraid that I'm going to relapse and kill myself. I just don't want to do this anymore."During dinner, Evan Goldschneider brought up the topic after telling Jackie that their four kids, twins Alexis and Hudson, 11, and twins Jonas and Adin, 13, had noticed her "ritualized" habit of eating salads. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostJackie was concerned over her kids sensing her issues and said:"It's one thing if I do it to myself, but it's another thing if I make my kids think that it's normal behavior."In a confessional on RHONJ, Evan revealed that he was grateful Jackie opened up about her struggles with him and said:"I noticed early on that she comes up with excuses not to order food. She kind of quietly writes in her book, 'This is what I ate today.' And she was always defensive. I remember her saying, 'How dare you criticize me for how I'm eating?' I didn't want to be judging her but I'm so happy she's finally opening up and letting me in."By the end of their conversation, Jackie decided to visit a therapist who would help treat her eating disorder, and Evan assured her that he would "help her every step of the way."In a previous interview with People magazine, Jackie revealed that she had spent four years in treatment and said in 2018 that she was "really proud" of her progress."I'm really proud of coming out of the other side because it was so hard. It's really not a way to live. It's horrible. It was absolutely horrible. And I'm hoping that I can help people out there like me, who usually just suffer in silence."The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 12 airs every Tuesday at 8.00 pm ET on Bravo.
