As of late, Jay-Jay Feeney has quite literally been flying solo. A brief delve into her Instagram feed boasts snaps of the popular radio presenter in Hawaii, Arizona, Thailand and Malaysia, and she’s done many of these trips alone.
Is it possible that Good Health has a life-changing Eat, Pray, Love story on our hands? That she has discovered her soul in some far off corner of the world? Jay-Jay bursts into laughter when asked that question. “Oh-my-god, no!” she exclaims, with a big grin on her face. “That is so not me. I wish I was like that, I do. I wish I was into that stuff, but I’m just not.”
The woman who sits across from me is, however, incredibly down-to-earth, talking candidly about her body image and mental health struggles, relationships and being alone, before jokingly strutting around the lounge modelling each new outfit throughout the shoot.
From jet-setting her way around the globe, to moving cities in New Zealand and embarking on new chapters in her career and relationships, it has no doubt been a year of growth, bravery and self-discovery.
‘I’m struggling to deal with the verdict. I just could not believe it’
Changing times
The past few months have by no means been easy for the Kiwi broadcaster. After reporting a case of alleged indecent assault by a taxi driver two years ago, the court trial finally came to a close with a not-guilty verdict, leaving Jay-Jay reeling.
“I’m struggling to deal with the verdict. I just could not believe it. I felt like they had enough evidence and that I could really stand up for myself.”
And she certainly isn’t the only one who has felt impacted by the outcome. “The thing is,” she says, “hundreds, maybe thousands of people have messaged me and they all want to see a change.”
