The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jackie Goldschneider has hit back at critics who have commented that she is “chubby” and “big”.
“It’s not helpful. If you mean that as a compliment, thanks, but it’s not helpful,” the reality star, who previously battled anorexia, said in a Dec. 16 TikTok video. She chronicled her eating disorder in her memoir, The weight of beautifullast year.
Goldschneider (48) said this after posting photos of herself and friends RHONJ star Jennifer Fessler at the iHeartRadio Z100 Jingle Ball in New York, was inundated with “shocking” comments from “people calling me plump, juicy, full, big. All kinds of comments like that.”

Jackie Goldschneider ‘Could have died’ after anorexia put her at risk of heart attack: ‘Lucky to be alive’
“You can compliment me without commenting on how much weight you think I’ve gained or what you think of my body size. That’s No. 1,” she said. “No. 2 is, if you think my body is full and big, I suggest you get off TikTok and OnlyFans and Instagram and look around in the real world and see what a real woman’s body looks like because real women aren’t skin and bones.”
She added that she could lose “every freaking ounce of this by New Year’s if I went on Ozempic tomorrow,” but said she was choosing not to take the medication.
“Humans were made to feel hunger and eat food, not to be bones and skin,” added Goldschenider, who recently said she was “about 75 percent recovered” from anorexia.
In her TikTok, the mom of two sets of twins – Jonas and Adina, 16, and Alexis and Hudson, 14 – continued to plead with her fans not to compliment her daughters on their bodies: “Don’t talk about her body size unless there’s a medical issue which you need to solve.”

As for the commenters who called her fat, she said: “If your intention wasn’t to compliment me, but to passive-aggressively insult me and throw me off my game, that’s never going to happen.”
“I recovered from 20 years of anorexia and I’m so proud of myself, and I also happen to think my body is strong and beautiful — and honestly, it’s a freaking work of art. So enjoy it. And yes, that’s it. Nice talk, guys.”
She also took her clapback straight to the source, responding on Instagram to someone who commented “Ironic Jackie posing with food she doesn’t even want to eat” on a photo of her at a restaurant.
“How do you know what the hell I’m eating? Have you ever fucking seen me in real life?” Goldschneider wrote. “I hope you don’t have kids. You’re a judgmental idiot.”
