Jessi revealed that her struggles with Jordan weren’t entirely new to her—she’d experienced emotional abuse in her first marriage too. She explained that her “muscle memory” made her used to being yelled at and controlled, and while Jordan’s behavior was different, it eventually became overwhelming. In fact, she admitted that she hadn’t fully healed from her first marriage, which made her more vulnerable to repeating the same patterns in her relationship with Jordan. She emphasized that although Jordan and her first husband, Zach, were very different people, the effects of emotional trauma carried over and complicated her second marriage.
The drama became public after Jessi admitted on the show to having a two-week emotional affair with Marciano Brunette. But her podcast appearance revealed even more than what aired. Jessi explained that Jordan had actually blackmailed her over the affair, threatening to expose private texts and even recording her to use against her. She described the situation as toxic, saying that on the day she left him, it escalated into yelling and chaos in their home, witnessed by their children.
Jessi also discussed the pressures that came with her success. As the breadwinner, running her hair care company JZ Styles, which made her a multimillionaire within a few years, she felt Jordan struggled with feeling emasculated. She said his frustrations, combined with controlling behavior—like monitoring what she wore, how she worked, and even small household actions—contributed to a toxic environment. Jessi admitted that everyone in her life had noticed Jordan’s behavior and kept him at a distance, making reconciliation a very complicated process.
Looking back, Jessi acknowledged that she moved into her marriage with Jordan too quickly, using the relationship as a way to heal from her divorce. They met shortly after she separated from her first husband, and within months, they were married. She reflected on how rushing in and not taking time to heal played a role in the difficulties they later faced.
Despite everything, Jessi and Jordan eventually found a better place, but it wasn’t without emotional scars. Jessi spoke candidly about how witnessing the conflict affected their children and the emotional toll of navigating a marriage filled with control, threats, and unresolved trauma. Through it all, she’s shared her story honestly, shedding light on the complicated realities behind the show’s dramatic moments.
It’s a lot to take in, and it really shows how public lives can hide private struggles that are far more complicated than what fans ever see on screen.
