Viewers, however, blasted the mom of five for how she vocalized her feelings to her family - namely the couple's 14-year-old daughter Gabriella.
On Tuesday night's episode, Jennifer brought up her husband's infidelity to the teenager after revealing that her mother's visit was delayed.
"I'm really in no rush for your grandmother to get back here anyway because obviously, I have a lot I'm going to have to tell her about dad's affair," Jennifer said to her oldest daughter.
During a confessional interview, the TV star recalled the moment she told Gabriella about her father's cheating past.
The scene then flashed back to Jennifer and Bill's conversation about how they were going to tell their children, agreeing to only break the news to the older ones at the time.
The reality star spoke out about her decision to be honest with the teen telling the camera: "I just want her to know that we are in a place where we can talk about it and everything's going to be okay."
Talking to her daughter, she said: "I’m allowed to be mad about what Margaret did to me."
Jen then told her: “It was a long time ago, and I’ve had a long time to be ok with it. I haven’t had a lot of time for you guys to be ok with it, and that’s what I’m struggling with right now, because I wasn’t prepared for you guys to ever find out."
FAN FALL OUT
Taking to Reddit, fans shared their disapproval of Jen for having this conversation on camera with her daughter.
One user wrote: "I was uncomfortable with Jen putting her daughter on TV for that conversation, and talking to her about what Nana’s reaction will be."
Another agreed: "That was not a conversation to have on camera, under any circumstances. That poor kid."
A third chimed in: "So inappropriate to have that conversation on camera. Her whole argument about trying to protect her kids was flushed in that scene."
DIGGING UP THE PAST
Bill's historic affair has been a key storyline in season 12 since Margaret brought out old skeletons for the couple during episode one.
At Teresa Giudice's pool party, Jennifer attempted to make amends with costars Jackie Goldschneider and Margaret.
Jennifer and Margaret's conversation quickly went south, however, and Margaret dropped a major bombshell.
She accused Jennifer of being dishonest, saying: "You always say, 'Bill's the best.' Listen, he had an affair, everyone knows and that's why he left his old job."
Turning to Teresa, who attempted to calm things down, Margaret said: "Her marriage isn't as perfect as she says it is.
"Bill had the affair with the office manager for two years."

Jennifer jumped in, saying: "She's not an office manager, she was a pharmaceutical rep, you f**k.
"If you could get the facts straight."
