Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jackie Goldschneider hit back at critics who commented that she was “plump” and “big.”
“Not helpful. If you mean it as a compliment, thank you, but not helpful,” the reality star, who previously struggled with anorexia, said in a TikTok video on Dec. 16. She chronicled her disordered eating in her memoir, The Weight of Beautiful, last year.
Goldschneider, 48, said that after she posted photos of herself and fellow RHONJ star Jennifer Fessler from iHeartRadio’s Z100 Jingle Ball in New York, she was inundated with “shocking” comments from “people calling me plump, juicy, full-figured, big. All sorts of comments like that.”

“You can compliment me without commenting on how much weight you think I’ve gained or what you think of the size of my body. That’s No. 1,” she said. “No. 2 is, if you think my body size is full-figured and big, I suggest that you sign off of 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.”
She added that she could lose “every f—ing ounce of this by the New Year if I went on Ozempic tomorrow,” but said she chooses not to take medication.
“Humans are meant to feel hunger and they’re meant to eat food and they are not meant to be skin and bones,” added Goldschenider, who recently said she was “about 75 percent recovered” from anorexia.
In her TikTok, the mom to two sets of twins — Jonas and Adin, 16, and Alexis and Hudson, 14 — went on to implore her fans not to compliment their daughters on their bodies: “Don’t talk about the size of her body unless there’s a medical issue that you need to address.”

As for the commenters who called her plump, she said, “If your intention was not to compliment me but to passive-aggressively insult me, and to throw me off my game, that will never f—ing happen.”
“I recovered from 20 years of anorexia, and I am so proud of myself, and I also happen to think that my body is strong and beautiful — and frankly, it’s a work of f—ing art. So enjoy looking at it. And yeah, that’s it. Good talk, guys.”
She also took her clapback straight to the source, replying on Instagram to someone who commented “Ironic Jackie posing with food she won’t even eat” on a photo of her in a diner.
“How do you know what the hell I eat? Have you ever f—ing seen me once in real life?” Goldschneider wrote. “I hope you don’t have any children. You’re a judgmental idiot.”
