MONTVILLE, NEW JERSEY: Jackie Beard Robinson is an author, social media influencer, and style blogger. She has also created and starred in the latest reality show, 'MakeOver Medicine'. Jackie has also owned and operated retail clothing shoe stores and worked in fashion for over 15 years.

Besides this, Jackie is known for her involvement in the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' as she was Melissa Gorga's business partner. However, the duo had a dramatic fallout with Jackie accusing Melissa of stealing $10,000. Jackie recently appeared on the Beyond the Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast to promote her new book.

During the episode, Jackie revealed, "There was like $10,000 worth of damage to the clothes. You can’t store too much there. But it ruined about $10,000 worth of clothes. And it takes forever for an insurance company to reimburse you." She further noted that she and her husband had to deposit the cheque from the insurance company into the business account.

Melissa had notable access to Jackie's business account. She shared in the podcast, "And it takes forever for an insurance company to reimburse you… Just so you know, my husband was nice enough to say [that] we'll give Melissa 20% of it." Jackie further revealed, "She took the cheque, and we never got any of it. How that happened? I still don’t know." Jackie then accused Melissa took the entire $10k instead of 20%.
