Jackie Goldschneider called out her online haters after being flooded with body-shaming comments on photos from her appearance at Z100 and iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball.

“So guys, I posted photos from Jingle Ball,” the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 48, said in a video posted to her TikTok Monday of the event, which took place at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Dec. 13.

“I got a lot of comments that were really quite shocking,” she continued. “People calling me plump, juicy, full-figured, big. All sorts of comments like that.”

Goldschneider, who has been open about her past struggles with an eating disorder, acknowledged that some people may have been trying to compliment her, but she did not find their words “helpful.”

“You can compliment me without commenting on how much weight you think I’ve gained or what you think of the size of my body,” she said.

The Bravolebrity went on to offer advice to trolls who think her body is “full-figured and big.”

“I suggest that you sign off of TikTok and OnlyFans and Instagram and you look around the real world and see what a real woman’s body looks like because real women are not skin and bones,” she said.

Goldschneider told viewers that she could easily lose weight by the new year if she went on Ozempic, which she previously told Page Six runs rampant among the “Real Housewives.”

“If you’re on [Ozempic] — fine. But I choose not to do that because I strongly feel that humans are meant to feel hunger and they’re meant to eat food and they are not meant to be skin and bones,” she said.

The TV personality went on to offer parenting advice on how to spread self-love instead of insecurity.

“If you have a daughter, I beg of you, please do not compliment her by telling her the size of her body is bigger, or just don’t talk about the size of her body unless there’s a medical issue that you need to address,” she said.

Goldschneider argued that there is no need to bring up a person’s weight since they know their body more than anyone else.

“If somebody’s gained weight, I guarantee you they know it,” she said.

The “Weight of Beautiful” author ended her video by clapping back at trolls who tried to bring her down.

“If your intention was not to compliment me but to passive-aggressively insult me and to throw me off my game, that will never f–king happen,” she said.

“I recovered from 20 years of anorexia, and I am so proud of myself, and I also happen to think that my body is strong and beautiful and, frankly, it’s a work of f–king art. So enjoy looking at it. And yeah, that’s it — good talk, guys.”

Last year, Goldschneider shared that she was “lucky to be alive” after battling anorexia for decades.

“[I was told that] starting to eat again can make your blood circulate so much faster that you are at risk of a heart attack,” she told Page Six the time, adding, “I could’ve died, and that really scared me.”

The former lawyer eventually turned to a treatment plan with a therapist and dietician to help with her mental and physical health.

“I would say I’m about 80 percent recovered,” she shared. “I still have a lot of fears around foods that I, for 20 years, labeled as ‘bad.’ I still get nervous sometimes about gaining more weight than I’ve already gained because I’m comfortable with where I’m at.”

One way Goldschneider avoids falling back into a bad place is by not weighing herself.

“I haven’t been on the scale since 2021,” she said. “I like the way my body looks, but I try not to put too much stock in it. And if I start to think a bad thought [about myself], I walk away from the mirror.”
