January Jones, best recognized for starring on “Mad Men,” has revealed a health situation she’s been struggling with for years – and one member of the family who’s dismissive of it.
On an Instagram video posted Thursday, Jones, 47, said, “For today, I’d like to talk about something that I’ve been struggling with my whole life, which is called misophonia. My whole life. And it’s gotten progressively worse over the years.”
The situation causes someone to really feel excessive discomfort, anxiety, or disgust after listening to certain noises.

The Emmy nominated actress, who performed Don Draper’s (Jon Hamm) spouse, Betty Draper, on “Mad Men,” slammed a impolite member of her household who doesn’t take her situation critically.
“’I have a brother-in-law whose favorite food is chips. Just all the time, eating chips,” she said.
The actress said that she has talked to him “many times” about his noisy snack.
“And he seems to think it’s funny to eat chips around me now, because it’s an ongoing joke to see what happens and see what I do.”
Jones said his conduct is “really unkind to my issue and also very dangerous for him.”
Her Instagram video was posted in a drab, darkish room. She quipped, “So what I didn’t do today, was record this video inside a prison. Because I’ve imagined many ways to do it, too. But I haven’t. I didn’t. Not yet.”

Jones is the mom of son Xander, 13, and she’s never publicly revealed the identification of his father, telling The New York Times in 2013, “That’s my son’s business. It’s not the public’s business.”
In 2017, she advised Red Magazine that her son is surrounded by feminine vitality.
“Maybe too much,” she joked. “Maybe I should get a manny soon. But Xander has a lot of bro time with the neighbor dads and my dad, who is super young.”

In her video on Thursday, she ended by saying that her brother in law is “otherwise” a “really nice guy.”
Jones added, “And it’s his birthday today, so happy birthday, I hope you’re eating a f–kload of chips.”
