The 33-year-old salon owner said she and Jordan “both made mistakes for sure.”
Speaking to People, the reality star shared insight into her marriage, alleging that Jordan had emotionally abused her.
“Mine being the affair and his being the emotional abuse, but I think it takes two to tango,” she told the outlet. “And having that toxic dynamic definitely got me into the mindset of where I was and why I did what I did.”
Jessi continued, “I wish I never had, and I hope Jordan feels the same about how he treated me for a while. But yes, it took both of us to get there. I think having it come out publicly was a good wake-up call for us because it got us help.”
Jordan also shared a statement with People, admitting to causing Jessi pain during their marriage.
“At that time in my life, I was deeply unhealed, and as the saying goes, hurt people hurt people,” he said. “That doesn’t excuse my behavior in any way, it’s something I’ve had to face and take full responsibility for.”
The couple has since reconciled and are “trying to work on it,” they previously shared with E! News.
“Relationships are not perfect. I think a situation like ours, it’s going to take time. It’s not going to something that’s just amazing overnight.”
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives might be getting a spinoff series!
