The reality star said her recent weight loss was not intentional and partly resulted from being sick after a trip to Miami.

Farley admitted she was frustrated by the constant scrutiny women face regarding their bodies.

“I don't even know what to say,” she said in the clip. “A girl can never win. You gain weight, you're a fat piece of s---. You lose weight, you must be dying of some sort of horrendous disease.”

She went on to discuss how public reactions often change depending on a person's size.

“I love when people are like, ‘Oh my God, you look so good' when you lose weight. But then if you gain it, the 5-10 pounds, the silence is deafening because those same people that like you at your skinniest won't say anything when you gain weight.”

Jenni Farley argued that women are often criticized whether they gain weight or lose it.

The MTV star explained that there wasn't any dramatic reason behind her recent weight change.

Farley said she has simply been exercising more lately and emphasized that losing weight was never her goal. She also revealed that she dropped a few pounds after feeling under the weather following a recent trip to Miami.

At the same time, she noted that fluctuations are a normal part of life and something she has experienced for years.

“I lost weight. I'm a female. I'm 41. I really don't know what else to say,” she continued. “I didn't do it on purpose. It's not gonna last because it never does, especially when you're a woman in your 40s. I probably will gain 10 pounds. by the end of the summer and then I'll get a new article that says ‘you fat b-----' or something of that extent, or ‘Oh my God she gained weight, is she pregnant?' This is just a small dose of what it's like being a female in this day and age.”

Why Posting a Swimsuit Photo Was a Big Deal

The 'Jersey Shore' star revealed she avoided posting swimsuit photos for years because of fear of public judgment.

Farley also revealed that she intentionally avoided posting swimsuit photos for years because she feared the exact type of criticism she recently received.

The backlash, she said, felt especially frustrating because people seem to judge her appearance no matter what she weighs.

“If I wear a bathing suit and I'm at 150 pounds, it's ‘Holy God, she's a fat whatever,' but if I wear a bathing suit now at 135 pounds, ‘Oh my God she must be sick. Is she okay?' God f------ forbid if I'm not," she continued.

While addressing the rumors, Farley also joked that she certainly hopes she “isn't dying” because her children still “need” her.

Family Remains Her Top Priority

Jennie Farley said her children, Meilani and Greyson, remain her biggest priority.

Away from social media, Farley remains focused on her family.

The television personality shares two children — daughter Meilani Alexandra, 11, and son Greyson Valor, 9 — with ex-husband Roger Mathews.

In an exclusive interview with OK!, Farley previously opened up about how becoming a mother changed her outlook on life.

"They've definitely taught me to be present," she shared. "They've grown up so fast, so I'm really trying to appreciate each moment."

As for whether her children might one day follow her into the entertainment industry, Farley said she would fully support them.

"If that's what they really want," the star noted. "I just want them to follow their dreams."
