Vannessa currently stays with Jakie, her sister. She noted that Jakie often brings junk food whenever Vannessa goes on a diet, leading the group to think that she enables Vannessa to have her around, creating a co-dependent relationship. As if on cue, Jakie brought home a carb and heavy sugar breakfast the next day, insisting Vannessa eat it. However, Vannessa refused, explaining that junk food was like drugs and she needed to keep away. Jakie argued that she didn't see the problem and saw junk food as the solution, as Vannessa often got crabby on diets and foods like donuts reversed that effect. Even though Vannessa stated that Jakie was "killing her" with this food, Jakie paid no attention.

Fans immediately came for Jakie's appearance, making comments on how they suspected that she allegedly abused drugs. "Jackie get off the meth. Leave your sister alone and sit your ass down somewhere #1000lbBestFriends" tweeted a fan. "Oooo she's giving me old meth vibes…. I'm sorry I'm not trying to be mean I promise #1000lbBestFriends" added another. "Does Jackie not gain weight because of her daily allotment of meth?

"I definitely think Vanessa sister is on drugs or something. #1000lbBestFriends" stated a fan. "Ok I see now that sister Jackie is the devil, but Vanessa still needs to resist the temptations #1000lbBestFriends" added another.

"Is she on something??? Your sister is going to die. Her belly is almost on the floor and you want her to eat a donut?!?!?#1000lbBestFriends" added another.
