Career
Optavia
Jessica sells Optavia, a multi-level marketing product focused on weight loss. She first used the product for herself, losing 47 pounds in 14 weeks.[1] It is unknown how long she has been selling this product, but her use of it became well-known after videos from Joy Forsyth, whose husband Austin's sister Meagan is married to Jessica's stepson Bobby, mentioned that Jessica was her coach.[2] Joy's posts about Optavia have garnered a lot of attention and some backlash, and it's likely that Jessica is helping her respond to all of the messages.[3]
