‘Married to Medicine’ Star Dr. Jackie Walters Issues Tearful Apology After 2020 Remarks About Black Women’s Mortality Rate Goes Viral

For more than 10 seasons, ‘Married to Medicine’ star Dr. Jackie Walters has stood tall as the show’s anchoring force.

A celebrated physician and one of Georgia’s leading OBGYNs, Walters has long been hailed for championing women’s health – especially that of Black women.

She’s also renowned for staying out of the fray of drama on the hit Bravo show.

However, recent days have seen her thrust into the center of chaos relating to the show.

For, amid online discourse about the fractured friendship groups on the show, Walters’ remarks during a 2020 virtual interview with Dr. Heavenly Kimes have ignited fury among some corners of the ‘net.

Full story below…

In a resurfaced interview with Kimes, Walters appears to suggest Black women “cry wolf” when it comes to their symptoms.

The comment confused many given how much of a career-long champion Walters has been for spotlighting the issues Black women face during pregnancy and with their health broadly.

After finding herself going all sorts of viral, Walters issued a tearful apology video. Stressing that the snippet was taken out of context (from a 2-hour interview), she still relayed regret at the feeling of hurt it caused for those it affected.
