Jeanne Covey has come a long way since her appearance on My 600-lb Life season 7. The Texas native had a journey full of physical challenges and personal struggles. At the time of her debut, Jeanne was over 600 pounds and struggled to do things independently. As a result, she felt humiliated about relying on her parents to do everything for her. After gaining weight at a young age, the middle-aged woman had spent much of her life in obesity. Therefore, Dr. Nowzaradan assessed her to be in an “extremely critical” state.
Jeanne’s segments on My 600-lb Life showcased her living with mental struggles. She learned that she would have to do much more than get a gastric bypass surgery to initiate her weight loss. Dr. Now told her that the procedure wouldn’t fix her eating disorder, and that she would have to be responsible enough to fix that on her own. Right after her doctor’s appointment, Jeanne struggled to focus on her weight loss, as her mother fell ill and her father passed away. Fortunately, she did talk to a mental health professional and decided to move away from Houston. The former My 600-lb Life star opted not to pursue Dr. Now’s program, as she didn’t have time for it.

Reports suggest that Jeanne filed the lawsuit to get compensation for alleged negligence during the filming.
