Alison Victoria has had astressful year, to say the least.
“I’ve gone through hell. I’m not even close to being back — at all,” Victoria tells the hosts. “I’m not past it. It’s not like ‘Oh, she had the hardest year of her life,’ like, no, I’mhavingit,” she adds.
She also points to her relationship with Eckhardt as the origin of her troubles: “I partnered with the wrong person,” she says.
The partners went through mediation to try to heal their working relationship, but have now gone their separate ways, she confirms. And Victoria has been working on healing herself, including practicing transcendental meditation.
The airing of Season 2 ofWindy City Rehabin September and October 2020 was challenging as well, Victoria says, admitting that she hasn’t watched the new season.
“Honestly, I’m not going to watch it,” she tells Ruch and Balthazar. “I can’t watch it again because it’s reliving my life. It’s PTSD.”

Still, she feels she is stronger for what she went through.
“I think that I am the best version of myself right now,” she explains, telling the hosts that she does not regret this past year. “I feel like I’ve learned so much about myself, my strength and my resilience.”

She also revealed that there are many things she cannot discuss publicly due to “pending litigation.”
In the filing, Eckhardt claims that the series was scripted and edited to make him look like the bad guy, and Victoria the victim.
The filing asks that Discovery Inc. and Big Table Media award Eckhardt in excess of $2.2 million for actual, punitive and compensatory damages for counts of “defamation” and “intentional infliction of emotional distress,” claiming that “aggressive filming and production deadlines” from the network and production company were to blame for many of the problems the business partners faced.
