‘Little Women’ Star Christy Reveals Marriage Strife Amid Todd's Health Problems
May 2 2019, Published 3:17 p.m. ET
Christy McGinity Gibel has hit yet another rocky point in her marriage to Todd Gibel — and it may be the last straw.
On the latest Little Women teaser, Christy tells Tonya Reneé all about her relationship issues and frustration over her husband’s habits.
“I need 10 more pounds to get skin removal,” Christy tells Tonya during a workout at a boxing gym.
“Todd is ready, unfortunately he can’t get it done because he needs his knee surgery done — but he won’t do it because he’s scared,” she continues.
Tonya holds the punching bag for her pal, looking shocked as Christy’s anger progresses.
“If only he listened to me years ago about this, he could get the skin surgery with me, but instead he has to get his knee done, and then his skin surgery, and that’s just a pain in the a**!” yells Christy.
In her confessional, Tonya voices her thoughts on her co-stars’ relationship — who RadarOnline.com readers know have threatened divorce various times.
“It seems like Christy is constantly trying to help Todd improve his life, but it seems like he’s just half-a**ing,” says Tonya. “The last thing I want is Todd holding her back.”
“I can’t do this anymore,” Christy tells her friend. “And I want to participate in things and I feel like I can’t because he can’t.”
“That’s true but you need to be that wife and push him,” says Tonya. “Because if you don’t push him to get the surgery and exercise, you’re going to end up pushing him in a wheelchair.”
