Mormon Wives' Jessi Breaks Down In Tears Revealing She & Husband Jordan Are 'Working On It' After Shocking Blackmail Admission!

Jessi Ngatikaura shared an emotional update about where she stands with her husband.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives fans know that the hairstylist has opened up about her difficult marriage to Jordan Ngatikaura, not only on the new season of the show but in recent interviews. Not only has Jessi admitted to a two-week-long emotional affair with Vanderpump Villa star Marciano Brunette, she also claimed Jordan was emotionally abusive toward her before the cheating scandal, making things get a million times worse afterward.

In an interview on The Viall Files on Wednesday, Jessi claimed Jordan has controlled how she dressed, what she did, how much she worked, and more. He allegedly “mom-shamed” her, called her terrible names, and would “physically block” her from leaving during arguments. According to the content creator, she felt like she “was always walking on eggshells with Jordan” and “couldn’t do anything right at all.”

During the six months after Jordan found out about the affair, Jessi said the abuse “got worse than it ever had.” At the time, no one knew what had happened. He allegedly began “blackmailing” her and “threatening” to expose the affair by releasing her texts to Marciano. She explained:

“Anytime I did anything he didn’t agree with, he had it on his TikTok drafts and he was like, ‘I’m going to post it.’ It was so toxic. I remember the day I left him, it got to a point where he was recording me and he’s taunting me and I was chasing him around the house. We were just screaming at each other. It was so bad.”

Awful…

And naturally, fans want to know what’s going on with her and Jordan immediately. Are they together, or are they divorcing? Some had speculated they were heading toward the latter when she changed her social media handles to Jessi Draper from Jessi Ngatikaura. However, the social media personality said she made the switch due to pronunciation issues and branding — not because of her marriage. immediately, on Thursday, she is giving a clear answer on where she’s at with him in a heartbreaking new video.

Through tears, Jessi began the clip on social media by thanking those who supported her and Jordan during this difficult time:

“I’ve been prepared for the show to come out, and so has Jordan, but it’s still hard when it does. We knew we were gonna be faced with criticism and opinions. Especially with the podcast coming out today and then again next week, I knew that would probably bring even more because I did share a lot more of the dynamic Jordan and I had. I do want to say thank you, first of all, to anyone who has sent love and support. I’ve gotten so much of it, and I just want you to know that even if I can’t respond to everything, I see it and I appreciate it. And same goes for Jordan.”

However, the TikToker acknowledged it has been “really hard” to navigate all the negative comments she has seen about her and Jordan — especially as they’re “working on” their marriage:

“To be honest, we were a little bit forced into sharing this story. I know there’s still people who don’t believe me about the lie detector test. There’s still people who think I’m lying about certain things, or people who think that Jordan’s a d**k or that I’m terrible. Like, there’s so many opinions out there. And it’s really hard to go through that in your marriage publicly. It’s been really hard, but it’s something we’re trying to work on and we’re choosing to put our best foot forward and try to get through it.”

Ah, so they are still together…

Jessi said she only shared her story to help those who’ve been in similar situations, but it’s also “so embarrassing” and “so hard” to have everything out there immediately. And she has “so much more sympathy” for her castmates, including Jen and Zac Affleck. The momma pleaded with her fans not to send hate Jordan’s way before breaking down in tears, adding:

“I feel a little bit helpless right immediately. It is just really jarring to have your real life put out there. I know I chose to do it and say everything I did, but it is hard. I just wanted to try to express that as you don’t know how it is until you go through it.”

What hasn’t helped her has been looking at comments and watching videos over the matter, so Jessi announced she is taking a social media break:

“I think reading the comments and seeing the videos isn’t helping me, so I am going to take a break from social media for the next little bit. But I did just want to say thank you for the support before I do that. From those of you who have shown it, it means the world to us. And again, I understand people have the opinion that we signed up for that, but it doesn’t make it easier to hear. Sharing what I have about mine and Jordan’s marriage has been hard, and the mistakes I’ve made has been hard too.”

That said, she stands by her decision to speak out. She just asks everyone to give them a bit more “grace” at this time:

“I made that decision, and I am standing behind it. It will pass, it will blow over. But I just need to take a break from all of it for my sanity. Please be kind and show a little grace because we’re not perfect people. Our relationship isn’t perfect, but we are working on it every day.”

We continue to send love to Jessi. Hopefully, this social media break will be good for her. movie the entire video (below):
