When Jackie learned about the rumor, she denied the allegation. She told Guidice that Evan is "the best guy in the world and her marriage and family is beautiful." She later asked Guidice to admit it was a lie as she did not have any evidence. Jackie's biggest worry was how her husband would be represented on the show because of the rumor. 

The alleged infidelity storyline first aired on 17 February 2021 in Season 11 of Episode 1. Jackie and Evan watched the episode together. Jackie told Page Six that the episode "ended up being fine."
