I remember a pre 2014 Jenna. A bright funny vibrant Jenna. A pretty blond Jenna. This Jenna now is a shell of that person.
Can anyone tell me when it happened? Or was it a gradual thing and slow morphing?
I see the points ppl have made in the pots I've read. The dysfunctional behavior she has with her dogs, in her appearance, in her overall behavior. And for the most part it seems accurate. Ppl are are pointing out what's clearly there to be noticed. My question is what happened to Jenna?
I think a lot of things have contributed to Jenna's personal decline, which has somehow been both gradual and fast. She seems to have untreated or poorly treated anxiety or depression or both. Also, her income is truly enough that she never has to leave her house; she could probably technically retire tomorrow or close to it, which has allowed for her to live a hermit-like existence. On top of that, she's too comfortable with Julien and seems to have a very low sex drive (they've made some awkward jokes and mentions of this in the podcast, I'm not making it up, lol) and just doesn't care about looking done-up or "sexy" like she once did (which I understand to an extent).
Oh, also, one of the biggest turning points for her was that car accident a few years ago. She was badly injured, traumatized, and ended up gaining a significant amount of weight after that since she couldn't work out.
And really, making the sort of videos she does, it's not surprising if she feels unfulfilled or empty, even if she's making bank from them and has a lot of fans. Her content is not intellectually stimulating to say the least. If she would quit Youtube and do something in the sports therapy realm like she originally planned, I honestly think she'd be much happier and feel more productive. She'd also have a reason to shower and wear real clothes, lol.
I think I’ve seen the most change in her after the car accident. She became very withdrawn and almost afraid of the world. I wish she would seek therapy, as there is likely still trauma around that event.
