Dr Jackie survived breast cancer in 2004 which came back to her in 2008. Her experiences with that and her will to empower other survivors made her establish The 50 Shades of Pink Foundation which focuses on giving the patients both inner and outer beauty that they might've lost because of cancer.

Dr Jackie Walters' controversial statements on Married to Medicine resurfaced

Dr Jackie offended people from the black community following her statements on pregnancy in black women on a live broadcast she did with co-star Dr Heavenly in 2020.

She said African American women can be "dramatic" and could "cry wolf" while seeing the doctors which makes the doctors take them less seriously. Following the outrage she put a video on Instagram apologizing for her words saying,

“I want you to know I hear you, I see you, I believe you, and I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I am brokenhearted over this. The guilt and reality that I have hurt and offended people, especially Black women and some of my own patients, pains me to my core.”

In a Zoom call interview with vice-president Kamala Harris, Dr Jackie Walter said that women of color are 3 times more likely to die of childbirth.

Her past conversations resurfaced after Bravo released a recent episode featuring Dr Jackie Walters' talks with the VP. Her comments were once again offensive to the African American community and she had to take to Instagram again to give people an apology.

On Instagram, she said that she,

“used the wrong words and descriptions to properly convey my concerns regarding maternal mortality related to women of color.”

While many people accepted Dr. Jackie Walters' heartfelt apologies, some people harbored resentment.
