She also responded to speculation about Brian's sexuality, stating, "For the people making videos saying he's gay—God, I wish, man.
Can I please trade reasons. I would give my left foot for that to be why.
All you need to know is this person had a double life."

She expressed how deeply the affair affected her, given her personal values and history of fidelity.

It was sacred to me," she added.
Jen also spoke about her own sacrifices in the marriage, repressing her desires to avoid making Brian uncomfortable.
"He didn't ever really have much interest in me in that way.
So I repressed my own natural human desires down to nothing so that I wouldn't make him feel bad…He knew who he married.
