Charrisse Jackson Jordan Says Reunion Changed Everything: Divorce On The Table?
Charrisse Jackson Jordan filmed the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion about a month ago, and she played it cool throughout the show. Just before Andy Cohen was about to make the final toast, Charrisse revealed that she felt she had to be honest about what was going on in her marriage. As it turns out, Jackson Jordan hadn’t been completely honest about her marriage during the reunion, and she felt like she had to come clean. Andy was shocked, but Charrisse revealed that she had a dead marriage, as her husband was no longer talking to her. In addition, she didn’t believe in divorce, so she wouldn’t be the one filing the papers.
According to a new Bravo report, Charrisse Jackson Jordan may be changing her mind. The reunion was filmed about a month ago, and she’s now revealing that the reunion changed everything for her. She’s now realizing that her marriage is completely dead and she needs to focus on herself to move on.
“I’ve come to terms with the reality of my life,” Charrisse Jackson Jordan revealed to Bravo recently, adding, “Unfortunately, I’ve been in an unhappy place for many years, and it’s just now I’ve accepted that the marriage isn’t going to work.”
Jackson Jordan has revealed that her marriage had troubles long before she went on The Real Housewives of Potomac, but that her husband didn’t appreciate her being on the show. He hadn’t talked to her since they started filming, and Charrisse did start opening up about the struggles. She opened up to Bravo about how much she had tried to fix her marriage.
“I’ve spent many years trying to make it work. I love family. I came from a home with two parents. That’s all I know. I’m totally unfamiliar with the world of divorce, but I do understand that it’s a common thing these days.”
Jackson Jordan really wanted to put her best foot forward to save the marriage, but it’s hard to save a marriage that is one-sided. Her husband had no interest in even talking to her, and when he was fired from his coaching job at Rutgers this past March, he didn’t rush back to Potomac to be with his family.
“I was trying to, I guess, be like my mother. I’m sure my mother had challenging times in the course of her 50 years of being married, but they worked at being a family. It was disappointing, it’s a hard situation to accept, but it is what it is,” Charrisse Jackson Jordan explains, adding, “I think at this point, I know my husband doesn’t want the relationship anymore, and I’ve accepted it. So now it’s going to that next step is where I am now.”
She doesn’t reveal what that next step is, but she said on the reunion that she wouldn’t be the one filing for divorce. However, it sounds like she may have changed her mind. Maybe divorce is on the table. Charrisse explains that her co-stars have been great in helping her out, especially Robyn Dixon. Robyn herself is divorced and living with her ex-husband, as she can’t quite figure out her relationship either.
But Gizelle Bryant recently said that Charrisse Jackson Jordan had a boyfriend and tried to build up her co-star. Sadly, according to Bravo, Jackson Jordan was not happy about the story, and she denied having a boyfriend. Maybe she doesn’t want to hurt her children, as they could feel caught in the middle.
