Jackie Goldschneider Admitted She Nearly Quit ‘RHONJ’ Over Rumors About Her Marriages; Says “I Don’t Want To End Up A Statistic”

Jackie Goldschneider admitted that she nearly quit The Real Housewives of New Jersey after rumors about her marriage to husband Evan Goldschneider surfaced on the show.

“My family will always come first and when something threatens that, I take the time I need to make sure that it is something that is for me,” Jackie told Us Weekly. “I don’t want to end up a statistic. I don’t want to be just another Housewife who ended up divorced.”

She continued, “I mean, my family and my marriage is beautiful and it’s wonderful and it’s built on a lot of respect and love and nothing is going to get in the way of that. So, I had to really see if there was a way for the show to be a part of my life and still maintain the integrity of my family and my relationship. And you’ll see us figure that out.”

Jackie noted that she’s much more sensitive than her costars but added that she takes comments about her family especially personal.

“When it comes to my family, I will never be okay with somebody trying to come between us. So, I’ll never have a thick skin when it comes to my family,” she explained. “The fact that anybody could think that you could do something that potentially destroys a family with four young children, and then just be like, ‘Who cares’ to me? There’s no show I could be on long enough that that would ever happen.”
