I think Jessica made a lot of jokes/ said a lot of funny things that Nick completely missed and then made her feel like she was an idiot. This show makes me sad cuz there’s so many moments where you see her being playful/ silly and wanting to have a giggle with him and then watch her crawl into herself when he belittls her. Bless her.. i hope she found and reclaimed her silliness/ that playful self and never let’s anyone take it from her again
The other thing is my thing is that that she really felt that way when Nick did that how come she never talk to her about it because that’s part of marriage too or she talk to them you don’t sit there and be like oh I’m just gonna divorce you and you can’t judge me for saying that all they want but my thing is this if you wanna be with somebody, you need to talk to him because sometimes people do things and not mean to do it like he might not got it, but he was also older than her. He was more mature than her at the time that’s the thing people seem to forget I mean, I know he wasn’t super older than her, but he was more mature than her. He might not got it. You don’t like my man sit there and did something which she has done things that hurt my feelings. Whatever I told him and I talked about it and he never did again if he don’t sit there and talk to them how they supposed to know how Nick supposed to know she never talk to him I guarantee you she never did I guarantee you she never sit there and told him how she felt or she he made her feel that way I guarantee you she probably never did, now if she did and then he still did anyway that’s a different story but yeah I don’t think he meant it and he said there criticize it all they want but I don’t think he meant it that way cause I’m never seen the wedding video how you know he was to see her and how emotional he was so you know he really loves herat the time but sometimes people do things without meaning to do it but nobody talks to them how they supposed to know that they’re doing wrong you don’t know but yeah that’s only problem. That’s why marriages end up divorce that’s why so many people break up because they don’t wanna fucking talk to somebody and they said they wanna blame him and then walk away you’ll just walk away you talk to them and they still don’t change that then you then you walk away
You can't get by on your looks. And that's all Jessica has. She is beautiful and sings beautiful. But she is an idiot. Her parents should be arrested for neglect. She is so dumb and her personality is bland. She is boring and has zero substance.
I wish they'd come close to me.. some of those dancers were gorgeous at the tryouts.. but then again, beautiful girls wouldn't touch me with a 10 foot pole
You know how she was so insecure it was shocking cause she was so close to perfect she had nothing to worry about lol oh dont be so hard on yourself theres somebody in the world for everybody besides the dancers anyway by now there older prob 600 lbs 😅
Great point. When you are married you take vows, and those vows should mean something whether you are working in show business or not. Too many celebrities I feel blur that line.
Reality check so because they’re married he has to what just have a doll music video and every raise you that’s part of the business and that doesn’t mean he didn’t respect her or whatever but reality check it’s called acting is called a singing or whatever is fake stop making an excuse so people sit there and wanna hate on somebody to make an excuses all over the round if you’re that fucking business and that the fuck you end up doing that don’t mean you’re gonna do anything you need to fucking trust who you’re with. They don’t be with you you can’t trust them.
Alright but if your husband went to the strip clubs all the time and avoided talking to you because that's what he was doing with his free time and he makes you insecure with all the things he says and does all the time he belittles you... how would you expect her to feel? Every young man who is married to a beautiful woman they are always jealous and insecure and then they project that on to her by treating her that way.
Jessica is one of the few celebs who went to the Middle East and visited the troops. A soldier said “it was really nice that someone remembered we were ever there”. I thought that was beautiful. Jess has a good heart. Her contemporaries didn’t visit or do as much for the everyday person like Jess did.
@@davidbak6984 she didn’t support the war. She supported the troops. Trust me I hated bush and was livid at the wars we entered and the human rights violations and genocides we choose to ignore. But her going to cheer those boys up isn’t supporting the war. She’s helping them, who some have to enlist to pay for school-both my grandparents fought as Jewish men in WWII to be able to become doctors. These kids need the financial benefits often it’s their only choice. Her cheering them up and making them feel REMEMBERED is not supporting the war. She made those guys and girls feel like they weren’t just forgotten. I did not support a lot of the wars we have entered but that does not mean the men and women serving need to suffer. She made them feel seen and they could forget their situation for just a few hours and that meant enough to them that they all went to her book signing. Cmon.
@@ever7672 I agree. She just wanted to try to make those girls and guys forget about the horrible shit they went through for a few hours. She went more than any female performer. And the fact these 40 year old men turned up in dozens to her book signing means it really did impact them. Saying they felt like they weren’t forgotten is so huge. We don’t have to support all war but we shouldn’t punish the men and women who are risking their lives to either get a college education. Or to fight. The reason is personal and their own. But our girl Jess is so sweet. They casted the actress for her new show!!
You and me both. Every season he did that and it was annoying. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't pressured her into marriage knowing very well of her faith and beliefs. I guarantee he was giving her ultimatums.
This stuff was edited. That’s what annoy me you do realize why this is edited too but on top of that no actually wasn’t because of the stuff he was saying stuff that was true that’s not really talking down to somebody. It’s funny how people sit there and want to hate on somebody so much they said they can’t see certain things now I’m not saying that what he did was completely not bad yes Like what she said there I said certain things the other certain things that he should’ve handled it better, but he was more mature than her things that he wasn’t used to at the time and he had the right to his feelings. That’s what pisses me off so you say you feel the way he feels now he should talk to Jessica about it first and I said they say anything to anybody else. Yes he just said something to Jessica just like Jessica says to him if you know bothered her like when he said there and belittled her whatever yes he should say some she should say something to her that’s called communication marriage and you don’t know when communication no marriage, that’s communication relationship in general but that’s a problem nobody wants to communicate. They said they think this will get better without actually doing damn thing or talking to the person I think when he was saying certain things it was more that he didn’t get it or he wasn’t used to it but I don’t think he was talking down to her when he was talking about her behind her back and plus he wasn’t talking to him behind the back he knew there was cameras there hello
@@Wynnnter because He is an bad ass! She was much much much better than he was! And she was an magnate...a lot of people towards her, not only her beauty but her simplicity!!!!! He was envy/jelouse with her...and her success suffocated him! And also is the fact..when an man has an honest, kind and tender woman ..he walks over her as an doormat ..leaves her...and than find AN BITCH...someone they can't walk over and controle them! Karma is always on the corner and it is an matter of time...that Karma comes back to that person! What You sow is what you get!!!! Mrs. Jessica is smarter than he is!!!!!!!!!! But he is not an gentleman talking bad about his ex Jessica!.
Used to watch this when I was 21, now I’m rewatching at the age of 40 and realise how badly Nick treated his new wife, I really feel for Jessica at times, especially when she just wants reassurance from him and he makes a snarky comment, instead. Was so rude about their housekeeper, too.
I can see why she irritated him though she acts like such a baby .. she basically married Nick as a substitute to her dad. Her parents babied her way too much
She acted like a child. Who throws their dirty clothes and towels on the floor as an adult when the hamper is right there in front of them. Doesn't even know if she owned a mop or not. Ridiculous
The comment about his dancers watching basketball with him 🤮🤮🤮🤮. Poor Jess. I’m so happy her husband now treats her like GOLD. He probably would have emotionally abused the hell out of her privately with her weight gain.
@@nicolematheson2549 I know! It gave me the fricking ick! Totally how most families treat their girls who are being emotionally abused. They just want them to be a “married woman” no matter what is happening to hurt them. I’ve been through it myself.
@@geraldinelafayette1838same here. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. My husband was a covert narc and holt crap I see SO many similarities here!
@@thebjm1967 me too hun! The court doesn’t care, ur family doesn’t care until the damage has been done, nobody wants to “get involved”. It’s sick! The whole time you just want someone to stand up for you! To say something! I still get sick messages today putting me down and blaming me for anything and everything through a parenting app.
@@geraldinelafayette1838 ugh!!! I’m so very sorry. Co-parenting with a narc is the worst. Parental alienation is so terrible. And you were absolutely right unfortunately they always have a narrative that the victim is crazy. I cannot tell you how many times I had to videotape arguments to try to prove my point or in case something happened I would have proof. It’s hell.
Me watching in 2024 (when I’m 40) - remembering that I ordered a green trucker hat after watching this episode. Wearing it thinking I look like her- but really I just looked super butchy. Her style for that time was amazing. She made everything look so good
Jessica getting all jealous & insecure when she's standing there sans makeup looking like a freaking supermodel. None of those girls hold a candle to her
@@sagevibes3458 it also comes from trusting your partner not to go after someone else, whether they're hotter or not. Clearly she didn't have complete confidence and security in him, and apparently rightfully so
Don't say that. You don't know those women. They could have things Jessica lacked and wish that she had. They could be the type of people Jessica wish she was. She wasn't ready nor prepared for marriage or a long term relationship. She had a lot of self work to do before getting in any relationship... Such as getting healthy in all realms.... but especially her Ed and other problems under control. She had an unhealthy relationship with food around this time. (unsure if she still does). Nick wasn't ready either.
Imagine 2 grown adults not doing their own laundry to the point theyre making 3ft piles and then thinking $20/hr is "a lot to fold clothes" Then you do it
Jessica would’ve paid that woman any amount if $ for the help…that was all BROKE AZZ Nick pinching Pennie’s that he’s not even contributing to making! He was a loser!
She reacted the same way i would have when i was a young wife. Ive been married 30yrs, and still wouldn't love women all over my husband. She's just being a normal woman. ❤
The convo between Jessica and her mom/Nick about eating is super upsetting knowing/looking back on how she and so many other young girls were critiqued on their weight then.
Jess such a natural beauty! Her being so classy wearing a beautiful modest outfit & regular clothing while performing on stage, it just lets her natural beauty & talent shine!!!!!!! She doesn’t need to be half naked on stage to have a beautiful, amazing show! Her voice & beauty shine thru without trying too hard to act “sexy”….she just naturally was! Bless her
Why didn’t he just ask Jessica to be in the video ?? Pretty sure that would have helped his image so much more than having robin’s pussycat burlesque dancers
No, you try to make it on his own so he kinda did the right thing but then again it wasn’t just him. I guarantee that was his company suggested that because he has understand about the company they’ll sit there fuck up your career and then you get blamed for it so some of that might’ve been his companies and at the time I don’t blame him for not having Jessica and that video because reality check that was his first song he was trying to make it on his own without needing somebody and plus he did so I would 90° more popular than Jessica was at the time Seems like people forget that on top of that at the time that was his first album we don’t know if it would make her break it at the time you can’t predict that no matter what is depends on the damn song not the video nobody like the song cause the song was not greatit would matter Jessica comes in or not. Maybe she did the song or did a song with him.
This is something the industry typically pushes against. They need to appear single/sexy to sell more. It's about the appearance of being single. This is why boybands had to pretend they were single. Young girls don't feel right lusting after taken men.
Can you imagine if he had to sit there while Jess drooled over male dancers? He would have a breakdown. I feel like there were a lot of double standards in their marriage. He seems like the type to cheat on his wife and blame her for it and then gaslight.
@@Loveyloveeeee😂 for some it is and for some it’s not 😂 It is for me 😂 She had the money so she could afford it but I did see his point when it came to spending money. They weren’t a good match He did treat her harshly and would lose patience and she just wanted understanding and reassurance. Sad
Nick telling Jessica that he'd go watch basketball with the dancers was cruel. I know different people handle conflicts differently, but I thought that was like salt in the wound, even though he was "joking".
He was married and those dancers were joking about ripping off his pants (around 6:00) they had no respect for his wife/marriage and he did nothing to stop it.
The fact that he literally went over to watch them change in their bras and underwear was the assh*** cherry on top. He was so lucky Jess loved him enough to feel super protective and he took it for granted.
He reminds me a lot of my narcissistic ex. He truly did all the same stuff as Nick and it’s crazy re-watching these episodes because I remember when these shows first came out and watching them when I was a lot younger and not thinking anything about it. Now I am extremely triggered, especially during some of the moments where there is conflict. I see so much gaslighting and contempt and verbal abuse and sarcastic ass comments. There are so many double standards and I like how she acknowledges that if it was her doing that he would not be very happy. He treats her like a child and like he’s a father that can punish. Truly awful.
I used to watch this show when it aired on MTV and loved it, but I didn't realize then(obviously, I was in middle school heading into high school) that Jessica deserved so much better. She was such a good spouse to Nick and he treated her like garbage. Glad she got out of that marriage.
She was so beautiful back then, and still is. However she was beautiful, talented and smart. I heard a lot of the things she said that made her appear stupid were actually part of an act to increase ratings, I believe it. Nick did not realize how blessed he was to have her, watching this back I now see how often he took her for granted. Even when he says things playfully, the way he goes about it is pretty rude.
I think Nick at the time loved the attention and playing the game of being gushed over by attractive women. He comes off as insecure and needs constant ego stroking. Gross.
And right here 11:40 She ate a piece of turkey and a piece of cheese. Every time she was hungry. They knew she couldn't eat, she was not allowed to eat much on top of being on appetite suppressors and diet pills to make the record label happy. And THIS was how they treated her.
Right? They were all awful. I remember being a teen watching this disappointed but subconsciously internalizing it all, because no one was sticking up for her & it was played so normal.
I cant believe that they were really fighting and making eachoher jealous public like this lol. They weren't married, they were competitors that lived together
Nick was being unfaithful since the beginning of this show. I feel bad for Jessica 😢so disrespectful towards her, wedding rings on and off with the ladies, mocking her…I don’t blame her for the hardship she dealt with
I never realized how jealous nick was of her til I watched these episodes back as an adult I was a kid when I first saw this show!!! SMH when she laughed at his Christmas song he sang like we all did
I didn’t have cable so I didn’t get to watch this show when it was first out so I was always so confused by them separating. They had seemed like a perfect match when they married. But now as I watch the show it is painfully clear why they didn’t work. Their relationship was awful. Nick is constantly annoyed by Jessica and belittling towards her. I really hope Vanessa doesn’t have to deal with this same attitude.
He’s mad at her in every episode! I love the show for entertainment but dang, never knew till binging this years later how toxic they were together (more so him) she had such a big heart & just wanted him to unconditionally love her
The comments he was making to the dancers... "was it good for you??" Yeah. Thats not cool for a husband to say to other women especially while his wife is in the same room. I remember watching this as a young wife being confused and trying to figure out what a marriage should look like. Now 42, and watching this i feel really sorry for Jessica. She needed better people in her life. Her parents weren't healthy either. Everyone was using Jessica for her beauty and the fame they could enjoy off of her. ...and how the mom could laugh about him going to hang out with the other girls... 🤯
And to think Nick is a host years later on a dating/love show (love is blind) is the most hilarious part!!!! Yeah they were both young back then & clearly not in the right marriage! But watching this really makes me question the logic behind Nick & his current wife giving “advice” and hosting the Love is Blind show. Maybe he’s a different person in his second marriage! I hope for his wife’s sake he is!
Loved this couple...they matched soooooo very well! And she is soooooo beautiful 😍😍😍😍 and her intuïtion was true...women felt for him as apples from an tree! In this relationship...he was very talkative...and with the other spouse...she is talkative...so the roles are changed! The good part though is...he has now such beautiful kids....
Jessica is the whole show. Nick is still now relevant because of Jessica. Sorry but that’s true. Also, shoutout to her fashion & accessories line including shoe line.. it’s actually good quality & well made with good design.
The editing is so bad lol. You can hear Jess laughing during the auditions before she "shows up". I wonder if this really was a big issue or just a storyline.
I've seen this episode several times, and this is the first time I've noticed, that there's a woman behind Jessica at 7:08, with a pink top and white pants who is leaning over and looking.
I think Jessica made a lot of jokes/ said a lot of funny things that Nick completely missed and then made her feel like she was an idiot. This show makes me sad cuz there’s so many moments where you see her being playful/ silly and wanting to have a giggle with him and then watch her crawl into herself when he belittls her. Bless her.. i hope she found and reclaimed her silliness/ that playful self and never let’s anyone take it from her again
This!
Being playful and silly? She was acting like a preteen, making a fool of herself, so he got to the point where he just ignored her. I would have to.
The other thing is my thing is that that she really felt that way when Nick did that how come she never talk to her about it because that’s part of marriage too or she talk to them you don’t sit there and be like oh I’m just gonna divorce you and you can’t judge me for saying that all they want but my thing is this if you wanna be with somebody, you need to talk to him because sometimes people do things and not mean to do it like he might not got it, but he was also older than her. He was more mature than her at the time that’s the thing people seem to forget I mean, I know he wasn’t super older than her, but he was more mature than her. He might not got it. You don’t like my man sit there and did something which she has done things that hurt my feelings. Whatever I told him and I talked about it and he never did again if he don’t sit there and talk to them how they supposed to know how Nick supposed to know she never talk to him I guarantee you she never did I guarantee you she never sit there and told him how she felt or she he made her feel that way I guarantee you she probably never did, now if she did and then he still did anyway that’s a different story but yeah I don’t think he meant it and he said there criticize it all they want but I don’t think he meant it that way cause I’m never seen the wedding video how you know he was to see her and how emotional he was so you know he really loves herat the time but sometimes people do things without meaning to do it but nobody talks to them how they supposed to know that they’re doing wrong you don’t know but yeah that’s only problem. That’s why marriages end up divorce that’s why so many people break up because they don’t wanna fucking talk to somebody and they said they wanna blame him and then walk away you’ll just walk away you talk to them and they still don’t change that then you then you walk away
You can't get by on your looks. And that's all Jessica has. She is beautiful and sings beautiful.
But she is an idiot. Her parents should be arrested for neglect. She is so dumb and her personality is bland. She is boring and has zero substance.
I love how she is wearing regular clothes on stage. Miss those times. Nowadays everything is so OTT
Yes! Mariah Carey comes to mind. I get so sick of seeing her in ball gowns.
She never realized that she was so beautiful and none of those dancers came close to her
I wish they'd come close to me.. some of those dancers were gorgeous at the tryouts.. but then again, beautiful girls wouldn't touch me with a 10 foot pole
You know how she was so insecure it was shocking cause she was so close to perfect she had nothing to worry about lol oh dont be so hard on yourself theres somebody in the world for everybody besides the dancers anyway by now there older prob 600 lbs 😅
She also needed alot of vocal training and no one told her that not even her manager/father
@@joiestefan7528 I think she sings great she didnt have albums for singing bad thats for sure

Its not about jealousy..its about respect..
Bingo!!
Great point. When you are married you take vows, and those vows should mean something whether you are working in show business or not. Too many celebrities I feel blur that line.

I tried getting into love is blind but it bored me. I like the 2000s reality tv so much better than what’s out today.
Imagine 2 grown adults not doing their own laundry to the point theyre making 3ft piles and then thinking $20/hr is "a lot to fold clothes"
Then you do it
Jessica would’ve paid that woman any amount if $ for the help…that was all BROKE AZZ Nick pinching Pennie’s that he’s not even contributing to making! He was a loser!
It was Nick who had a problem actually paying someone. Jessica would have paid regardless.
nick has to pay
Watching this after reading her book makes me so sad. Jessica was fighting a losing battle 😪
The book was amazing, Audiobook of her reading even better! So emotional
@@Claire-dm2ms Agree. Wish I still had audible
She basically married her father. It was doomed from the beginning
I want this book!!! Amazon, here I come!
What was the name of the book?
She reacted the same way i would have when i was a young wife. Ive been married 30yrs, and still wouldn't love women all over my husband. She's just being a normal woman. ❤
Exactly If the tables were turned he would’ve flipped out jealous I bet.
30 years congradulations! ,
The convo between Jessica and her mom/Nick about eating is super upsetting knowing/looking back on how she and so many other young girls were critiqued on their weight then.
As he's eating with no worry in the world 😅
Jess such a natural beauty! Her being so classy wearing a beautiful modest outfit & regular clothing while performing on stage, it just lets her natural beauty & talent shine!!!!!!! She doesn’t need to be half naked on stage to have a beautiful, amazing show! Her voice & beauty shine thru without trying too hard to act “sexy”….she just naturally was! Bless her
Jessica's natural beauty is just unparalleled honestly. She really didnt need to be insecure. ❤❤
Tina really egged nick on and in her book she talks about how it felt like her mom was always on nicks side.
Why didn’t he just ask Jessica to be in the video ?? Pretty sure that would have helped his image so much more than having robin’s pussycat burlesque dancers
Exactly
No, you try to make it on his own so he kinda did the right thing but then again it wasn’t just him. I guarantee that was his company suggested that because he has understand about the company they’ll sit there fuck up your career and then you get blamed for it so some of that might’ve been his companies and at the time I don’t blame him for not having Jessica and that video because reality check that was his first song he was trying to make it on his own without needing somebody and plus he did so I would 90° more popular than Jessica was at the time Seems like people forget that on top of that at the time that was his first album we don’t know if it would make her break it at the time you can’t predict that no matter what is depends on the damn song not the video nobody like the song cause the song was not greatit would matter Jessica comes in or not. Maybe she did the song or did a song with him.
@@tammiepage6489she put him in her video and it did well his album stent even chart the billboard 100 lol
This is something the industry typically pushes against. They need to appear single/sexy to sell more. It's about the appearance of being single. This is why boybands had to pretend they were single. Young girls don't feel right lusting after taken men.
She was too Precious for him
Yes!
Can you imagine if he had to sit there while Jess drooled over male dancers? He would have a breakdown. I feel like there were a lot of double standards in their marriage. He seems like the type to cheat on his wife and blame her for it and then gaslight.
It hurts my heart to see Jessica’s parents witness nick bashing her and not standing up for her.
You ladies wish you had a man like Nick. You're jealousy is alarming
I love how $750 dollars is a drop in the bucket now to her. Nick was a Cheapass. Go girl!
Well for underwear it's TOO MUCH!!!!!😅
@@nightsky3981no it’s not.
@@Loveyloveeeee😂 for some it is and for some it’s not 😂
It is for me 😂
She had the money so she could afford it but I did see his point when it came to spending money.
They weren’t a good match
He did treat her harshly and would lose patience and she just wanted understanding and reassurance. Sad
She sang amazing this episode
It doesn’t get much more early 2000s than Larry rudolf and robin Antin
Thank u for uploading, blast from the past!
Nick telling Jessica that he'd go watch basketball with the dancers was cruel. I know different people handle conflicts differently, but I thought that was like salt in the wound, even though he was "joking".
He was married and those dancers were joking about ripping off his pants (around 6:00) they had no respect for his wife/marriage and he did nothing to stop it.
The fact that he literally went over to watch them change in their bras and underwear was the assh*** cherry on top. He was so lucky Jess loved him enough to feel super protective and he took it for granted.
He lost in my opinion...
He reminds me a lot of my narcissistic ex. He truly did all the same stuff as Nick and it’s crazy re-watching these episodes because I remember when these shows first came out and watching them when I was a lot younger and not thinking anything about it. Now I am extremely triggered, especially during some of the moments where there is conflict. I see so much gaslighting and contempt and verbal abuse and sarcastic ass comments. There are so many double standards and I like how she acknowledges that if it was her doing that he would not be very happy. He treats her like a child and like he’s a father that can punish. Truly awful.
Bsck when woman had normal bodies. I miss that Era. Now it's kim k look alike alike bbl bodies.
bbl isn't even attractive. What is attractive is a fit woman with a natural body who looks like she hits the gym. Fake hair is dumb, too.
Yeah now look at all the wanna b bbl and more hahaha I can't stop laughing
Yes and wayy less lip filler and big tarantula lashes. No heavy contour. The dancers & Jessica look so sporty and fresh faced compared to girls today.
Her record company constantly pressured her to be skinny she was 102 pounds and that wasn’t good enough for them
It’s sad she got the work done she has now , the lips :(
I used to watch this show when it aired on MTV and loved it, but I didn't realize then(obviously, I was in middle school heading into high school) that Jessica deserved so much better. She was such a good spouse to Nick and he treated her like garbage. Glad she got out of that marriage.
She was so beautiful back then, and still is. However she was beautiful, talented and smart. I heard a lot of the things she said that made her appear stupid were actually part of an act to increase ratings, I believe it. Nick did not realize how blessed he was to have her, watching this back I now see how often he took her for granted. Even when he says things playfully, the way he goes about it is pretty rude.
Definitely something about 90's pop stars chewing gum with a lazy open mouth.
Damn he use to complain about Jessica to other girls. Cringe
It was very disrespectful of him to do that. Relationships like that either don't last or are very miserable if they stay together.
I think Nick at the time loved the attention and playing the game of being gushed over by attractive women. He comes off as insecure and needs constant ego stroking. Gross.
Wow he is nasty to her
Yes this girl is the definition of beauty ❤❤❤❤❤
And right here 11:40
She ate a piece of turkey and a piece of cheese. Every time she was hungry. They knew she couldn't eat, she was not allowed to eat much on top of being on appetite suppressors and diet pills to make the record label happy. And THIS was how they treated her.
The gaslighting towards Jessica by her whole family including Nick, I can't...
Right? They were all awful. I remember being a teen watching this disappointed but subconsciously internalizing it all, because no one was sticking up for her & it was played so normal.
Her Mum was short with her in the hotel that wasn't needed .
Yes that PART. No wonder she became an addict.
Her dad actually hates nick he threw a fit over their wedding lol
I cant believe that they were really fighting and making eachoher jealous public like this lol. They weren't married, they were competitors that lived together
Extremely toxic marriage.
So true
Nick… is someone I would never ever let my nieces date!
Oh please.
Nick was being unfaithful since the beginning of this show. I feel bad for Jessica 😢so disrespectful towards her, wedding rings on and off with the ladies, mocking her…I don’t blame her for the hardship she dealt with
I wonder if Nick ever watched this and wonders where he went wrong. What a shame. They were adorable together.
he was abusive. highly doubt he'd ever admit it, even to himself.
❤ True. They shouldn't have agreed to a Reality Show too soon after Marrying.
seems like a normal marriage to me
@@langyd4518 then please don’t get married. This is an abusive relationship.
@@langyd4518Who hurt you? This is far from normal babe 😢
That vocal exercise Nick did must work lol because he sounded really nice. Jess blew it out of the park of course.
That song of his is horrible 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It was sooooooo bad😂😂
@@Wynnnter Y’all, omgoodness 😂
Truly was!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
His music for the most part is corny lol
Nicks song was the least sexiest song and absolutely did not need sexy dancers 😂
He had a great voice.
I know 😂
I never realized how jealous nick was of her til I watched these episodes back as an adult I was a kid when I first saw this show!!! SMH when she laughed at his Christmas song he sang like we all did
I didn’t have cable so I didn’t get to watch this show when it was first out so I was always so confused by them separating. They had seemed like a perfect match when they married. But now as I watch the show it is painfully clear why they didn’t work. Their relationship was awful. Nick is constantly annoyed by Jessica and belittling towards her. I really hope Vanessa doesn’t have to deal with this same attitude.
I hope Nick learned from his mistakes with Jessica and treats Vanessa better
I think a lil
Vanesss is Nicks Karma 😂
He was always about himself, he seemed to criticize her and belittle her often .
Please! If I was Jessica I wouldn't worry about shit. All those girls put together don't even come close to Jessica's natural beauty.
Facts
Their musical partnership was the best part of their relationship
I still love this show!
He’s mad at her in every episode! I love the show for entertainment but dang, never knew till binging this years later how toxic they were together (more so him) she had such a big heart & just wanted him to unconditionally love her
Nicks parents even looked disgusted with him.
She’s so innocent and pure to the core , too good for this world
That performance Jessica does with the old dude on stage was just awkward lol
Take a shot everytime she has to apologize to him 😵
I am drunk. 🤣
It is sad to see how Nick is not into Jessica it’s all. You can tell that she loves him, but you cannot feel the same from him.
He liked how she looked, but he saw her behavior didn't match up, a little immature and insecure.
@@shantebarze1068she was 22 he was almost 29 when they got married
The drumb set says Jessica Simpson 😂😂😂😂
her parents were terrible enablers of her awful behaviour. she had no ability to live independently- it’s embarrassing. it’s not like she was 15!
My thoughts exactly!! The people that blindly give her props for her lack of ability to take care of herself is alarming.
I feel bad for your kids
The comments he was making to the dancers... "was it good for you??" Yeah. Thats not cool for a husband to say to other women especially while his wife is in the same room. I remember watching this as a young wife being confused and trying to figure out what a marriage should look like. Now 42, and watching this i feel really sorry for Jessica. She needed better people in her life. Her parents weren't healthy either. Everyone was using Jessica for her beauty and the fame they could enjoy off of her. ...and how the mom could laugh about him going to hang out with the other girls... 🤯
The “hot” guy they chose for her 👹
Drew and his mom looks so much alike ..soo cute ❤️
And to think Nick is a host years later on a dating/love show (love is blind) is the most hilarious part!!!! Yeah they were both young back then & clearly not in the right marriage! But watching this really makes me question the logic behind Nick & his current wife giving “advice” and hosting the Love is Blind show. Maybe he’s a different person in his second marriage! I hope for his wife’s sake he is!
Loved this couple...they matched soooooo very well!
And she is soooooo beautiful 😍😍😍😍 and her intuïtion was true...women felt for him as apples from an tree!
In this relationship...he was very talkative...and with the other spouse...she is talkative...so the roles are changed!
The good part though is...he has now such beautiful kids....
Vanessa controls nick lol 😂
Some of the members of the Pussycat dolls are auditioning
Jessica is the whole show. Nick is still now relevant because of Jessica. Sorry but that’s true. Also, shoutout to her fashion & accessories line including shoe line.. it’s actually good quality & well made with good design.
What gets me is the fact he and Vanessa are hosting all over netflix as if they're the poster couple for marriage 🤢🤢🤢
11:01
The videos i seen left this out. He was in fact jealous. Many guys with beautiful women are.
I don’t think people realize she was 22/23 here… also he was so intimidated by the fact she was shining so much brighter than him
I still don’t think i would ever pay $750 for two sets of underwear…. And it’s 2024 😮
It’s crazy how insecure she was. I guess she didn’t realize how freaking gorgeous she is!
14:24 Aww cute mother/daughter moment.
Larry Rudolph Nick's Manager, also Britney's manager! There is a part when Britney was doing her video Me against the music, Nick was there
how did u know?
@@pauljohn.zac23 it’s in the “making of the video” for “Me Against the Music” video (it can be found on RUclips.
Nick was so toxic. I hope he learned from this relationship. So petty and so controlling
Neither of these children is mature enough to be married.
Jessica is hot as hell, Nick was a lucky guy.
The way Jessica was staring at the dancers if her eyes could shoot daggers, they would have
🦂
He was always given the worst songs. He can sing really well
They literally bickered every episode 🤦🏽♀️😂
And Nick was so disrespectful this episode
Bruh, I can see why they got divorce!!!
Nick net worth =25 million maybe jessica net worth = 300 million enough said😂
Omg !!! Yes !!! I was thinking the same thing!!! 😂 peace ✌️ out NiCk... 🤑
Im getting "hes just not that into you" vibes
He was such a douche to her, I wondered if he ever truly loved her?
I think he just wanted to be the first guy to take Jessica’s virginity for bragging rights. He’s such a douche. Likely cheated on her.
The editing is so bad lol. You can hear Jess laughing during the auditions before she "shows up". I wonder if this really was a big issue or just a storyline.
Storyline without a doubt , people forget it’s scripted and edited 😂
In watching these, he really was a douche. He berated everything she said and did.
I've seen this episode several times, and this is the first time I've noticed, that there's a woman behind Jessica at 7:08, with a pink top and white pants who is leaning over and looking.
That’s a mannequin
@@GraceLove33 No its a real woman, she leans forward to watch.
@@GraceLove33 further back😊
Yes I saw that too.
Was never a Jessica fan. But you GO girl. I'd be RIGHT there too and my jealousy would be flarin like a bad, triple hemorrhoid!
His publicist looks like she is enjoying the fact that Jessica is uncomfortable.
I’ve always noticed that, too. Really irritated me. I wouldn’t be able to survive this business 😅😅
Which one was the publicist again?
@@Youtubintheuser At 7:35 Michelle Pesce, Nick’s publicist.
@@killher_look974 Right?! So smug, ughhh.
He was such an abusive jerk
Her mom tries way too hard
I really use to love them & I was really sad when they split up but now lookin I understand😳 how did I think they were cute🤷🏾♀️
So funny she was jealous when she is a hottie! I get it tho it would be hard to see
Jessica really was THAT girl driving her man iconic BMW M5 with a stick. Lets never forget
Nick was a walking red flag
FR
This whole episode is really weird and cringy
Nick was like a caveman type ...
This is the reason why I didnt watch this reality show back in the day because I couldn’t handle how Nick treats Jessica
