According to I Love Old School Music, Jackson revealed that,

"My struggle with managing my weight goes back to my childhood; to when I played Penny on "Good Times." The first day, I was in wardrobe, and they bound my breasts because I was developing early. That told me then that I was not good enough the way I was. The second season they told me that I needed to lose weight.”

The actress continued that her co-star Mike would also call her names such as "Dunk and Slaughter Hog," and although he meant no harm, it got to her.

After playing Penny for two years, Jackson left the show, but she, however, didn't quit acting. She has none the less grew from being young Penny to the phenomenal that she is today.
