‘The Family Chantel’ Family Feuds: Timeline of Fighting

From the moment Chantel Everett’s family met Pedro Jimeno on 90 Day Fiancé, they distrusted her new international partner. The long-distance lovers made things even worse by lying that the Dominican Republic native was in the United States on a student visa instead of the K-1 fiancè visa for which they really applied. Unfortunately, the feuds only ignited when the pair went off to star in their own spinoff, The Family Chantel.

“They insinuate things of me, saying, ‘I didn’t get married to Chantel, I got married to the dollar,’” Pedro detailed to his sister in season 1.

Apart from Chantel’s family’s major distrust for Pedro, the friction between the two families also stemmed from Pedro’s family, his mother Lidia Jimeno and his younger sister Nicole Jimeno. Chantel and Pedro had tried many times to unite their families, but their attempts only ended in thrown drinks and harsh words. Both Pedro’s mom and Chantel’s mother, Karen Everett, went as far as threatening to pull each other’s wigs off.

“My mom don’t have like, mercy [sic],” Pedro confessed to producers. “My mom’s like, eagle woman. She [Karen] gonna fight, my mom gonna fight too.”

While Pedro has made major leaps in his relationship with Chantel’s brother River Everett, even following their infamous dinner table fight, he didn’t feel Chantel has made the same effort.

“Chantel has a double standard,” the real estate agent complained to his mother in Spanish. “Because she wants for me to try and try to be with her family. So, she doesn’t want to do the same with my family.”

The same argument from season 1 only continued season 4 when Chantel traveled to the D.R. behind Pedro’s back to prove she was making an effort.

“He tells me that he feels like he’s trying to fix things with my family and I’m not,” Chantel explained to Lidia during their meeting. “But I’m hoping that with a conversation with you, where we begin to fix our relationship, Pedro will see that I’m trying.”

Unfortunately, her efforts to save the relationship were in vain as the news of Pedro and Chantel’s divorce would break as fans watched season 4. After six years of marriage, the reality stars called it quits for good and Pedro filed for divorce from Chantel on May 27, 2022.

Started Off With a Lie

Pedro’s introduction to the Everett family started with a lie, already starting the two families on a bad foot. Chantel worried about telling her parents about her engagement to Pedro and instead told them he was here on a student visa.

The pair told her family the truth just days before their planned nuptials.

Obed’s Message

Chantel’s family learned some information from Obed, a former family friend of the Jimenos. Obed explained that Chantel’s relationship with Pedro was a “set-up” and they “arranged” for Pedro to fall in love with her.

“As a friend of Pedro’s family, I wanted to like, come forward to Chantel and tell her the truth cause I’m the only one who knows his family, like for real,” Obed said in his confessional in 2019. “They did something like, similar to me so I know how bad they are and she needs to know what she got into with Pedro and his family.”

Looking for Answers

In season 3, Chantel and Pedro returned to the Dominican Republic to search for answers regarding Pedro’s estranged father. However, Karen and Chantel’s sister, Winter Everett, decided to crash the trip. While the pair were intent on sitting for a polite conversation with Pedro’s family, the conversation got heated with Nicole calling Chantel a “bitch” and throwing a glass bottle. His sister went as far as telling Chantel that Pedro had sex with her best friend, Coraima Morla.

Marital Problems

Despite Chantel completing nursing school and Pedro obtaining his real estate license, the problems only continued between the two. Pedro called his wife “lazy” when it came to household duties. As for Pedro, Chantel accused him of cheating and felt he was spending too much time with his coworkers. The brunette beauty went as causing a “scene” in front of his coworkers when she crashed a happy hour.

Chantel Travels to the D.R. without Pedro

With Pedro asking for a separation, Chantel decided to see if fixing the relationship with his mother would help. The Atlanta, Georgia, native traveled to the Dominican Republic without telling her husband or parents.

Upon her arrival, Lidia initially “sided” with Chantel, however, her stance changed once Pedro informed her of the scene she made at happy hour in front of his coworkers.

Nicole Shades Chantel ‘Divorce That Woman’

After Lidia tells her daughter about Chantel’s surprise visit, Nicole fiercely defended her brother and slammed her sister-in-law.

“I don’t understand. Why does she think you can help her now if she’s never tried to have a relationship with you or anything?” she told her mother, after calling out Chantel for playing the “victim.” “Why doesn’t he divorce that woman?”
