Southern Charm‘sAshley Jacobsis addressing concerns about her dramatic weight loss.
The show’s host,Andy Cohen, asked Jacobs about her health, saying, “I know a lot of people on social media have been concerned about your weight loss. You look different than you look on the show.”
“Yes, the pressure of filming made me nervous,” Jacobs revealed. “It would be hard for me to eat before because I would be so nervous about what to expect.”
“And then afterward, I had such a hard time even eating, going, ‘I shouldn’t have said that. I shouldn’t have said this,'” she continued. “And it caused a lot of stress. I put a lot of pressure on myself.”

Cohen pointed out she hadn’t been filming for quite some time, to which Jacobs said it wasn’t just filming that caused her to feel stress.
“You have to add allegations, people saying tough things,” she said. “You know, I’m the villain [in the show]. It didn’t just happen overnight.”
This isn’t the first time Jacobs, who is datingThomas Ravenel, has addressed her health and body.
In June, the reality star shared photos of herself lounging on a pool float while wearing a bikini.
In the post, which she shared on Instagram, she asked her followers not to attack her asshe addressed her weight loss with them.
Jacobs plunged right in, explaining she had been battling “severe anxiety” in the last several months.

Jacobs said she “dropped a lot of weight in a matter of months.”
“I was putting too much pressure on myself, not taking care of my health and fitness, along with other external stressors,” she said. “People deal with stress in a multitude of ways (some of them healthy, some of them not so much). It’s important to monitor your response to stress, anxiety, or any other negative emotion in order to keep your health in check. I’ve learned the hard way that you need to ask for help when things aren’t going well. You need to talk to qualified professionals, get medical support, and not feel ashamed or try to ‘tough it out.’ It isn’t easy, but there is hope for me and I believe that things will get better.”
