In a deeply moving episode of Reality Show Chronicles, Jamie King found himself in an emotional whirlwind, not just for himself but also for his friends, Tom and Kate, who commemorated their beloved pet lizard, Dazzle, at an unconventional pool party. “Sure, he was just a lizard, but we shared a bond that I truly cherished, and it’s heartbreaking to lose him,” Tom expressed, tears in his eyes.
However, the real tear-jerker came when Lisa Vanderwood met with Jamie at her lavish estate, where he bravely shared that he had just attended his first AA meeting. “I can’t even begin to describe how hopeful this makes me feel,” Lisa remarked, visibly moved by Jamie’s admission.
With tears rolling down his cheeks, Jamie recounted his experiences at the AA meeting, voicing his fears about the path his life could take. “They handed me this,” he said, displaying his chip. “I had to stand up and declare, ‘I’m an alcoholic,’ which is a huge step for me. I’ve never done that before.”
Before Jamie’s breakthrough moment, Lisa confronted him about his previous treatment of his girlfriend, Rachel Lane, including the hurtful texts he sent during moments of anger. “I feel a sense of responsibility for your well-being, even though you’re not my child,” Lisa said. “I saw those messages you sent to Rachel.” Jamie responded defensively, “Those are just words I say when I’m upset.”
“That doesn’t excuse it,” Lisa replied firmly. “If you care about someone, you don’t treat them like that.” Jamie insisted, “I don’t act that way when I’m sober,” prompting Lisa to reply, “Doesn’t that tell you everything? You need to seek help.”
“I want to support you,” she added. “It’s possible. You can do it.” Even Lila shed a few (potentially insincere) tears when Rachel revealed that she had driven Jamie to his AA meeting. “At my first AA meeting, I felt broken and embarrassed. But for the first time in ages, I sensed a glimmer of hope,” Lila shared during a confessional.
In a behind-the-scenes clip, Jamie expressed his astonishment at Lisa’s emotional response to his AA chip. “This feels like tangible proof that I’m genuinely working on myself. Lisa made a bigger deal out of it than I expected. Her support really uplifted me and provided a renewed sense of purpose to stay sober that day,” he revealed.
Earlier this month, Jamie disclosed to host Andy Collins on Watch What Happens Live that he has maintained nine months of sobriety. “I feel completely different from what we’ve seen on-screen. I’m taking charge of my life and improving my relationship,” he stated.
Jamie isn’t navigating this journey alone. His mother, Janice Green, has also embraced sobriety. “She’s doing fantastic. She’s been sober for over a year, and our relationship has never been better. We stay in touch daily and enjoy lunch together a couple of times a week. Our bond has flourished since I stopped drinking, and we count our blessings together every day,” Jamie shared.
