The Family Chantel season 4 premiered on Monday, June 6, and many viewers are concerned that the season might be scripted. A lot of recent 90 Day Fiancé content has come under fire for being seemingly staged, as social media "evidence" has seemingly exposed a number of fake storylines over the years. The Family Chantel fans now have reason to believe that the drama in season 4 may be cooked up by the Everett and Jimeno families.
The Family Chantel season 4 will feature several plotlines involving various Everett and Jimeno family members. However, the main storyline will focus on Chantel and Pedro Jimeno's dissolving marriage. Chantel and Pedro are entering their fifth year of marriage, but their relationship is in a shockingly bad place. The couple first met on 90 Day Fiancé, and overcame a lot of family-related stress and prejudice in order to be together. Unfortunately, Chantel and Pedro aired a tense relationship update during the season 4 premiere, which showed them on the brink of divorce.
While Chantel and Pedro are airing what might be the end of their marriage, many The Family Chantel fans are skeptical of their tense and dramatic plotline. The Family Chantel season 3 captivated many viewers with an emotional storyline that featured a tearful Pedro uncovering information about his half-siblings, whom he claimed he didn't know existed. However, photos that seemed to show Pedro and his half-siblings (from almost a decade ago) were then leaked on social media. Since Pedro appeared to shamelessly script a story about his family drama, many viewers believe he wouldn’t hesitate to falsify details about his marriage. Therefore, many The Family Chantel fans believe that Pedro and Chantel might be faking their marital problems for higher ratings.
Over the past year, Chantel and Pedro have scrubbed their Instagram accounts of one another. Meanwhile, The Family Chantel star Chantel has made a point of sharing a number of images and videos that clearly feature her without her wedding ring. However, many fans have theorized that these are calculated moves which are meant to fuel divorce rumors. Furthermore, many viewers are skeptical of the way that the Everett family acts on TLC. Some viewers have noted how they appear to be speaking as though they are reading a script, which further casts doubt on the authenticity of their storyline. Overall, this leaves viewers torn as to what is real for the Everett and Jimeno families.
The Family Chantel is certainly not the only current franchise content to be called out for appearing staged. The current season of 90 Day Fiancé is being picked apart by audiences, who believe that the drama between the seven featured season 9 couples is completely staged. Social media evidence has seemingly already revealed that several of the duos married, while couple Jibri and Miona Bell are rumored to have wed before filming their season. While The Family Chantel might not be the only allegedly scripted show in the extended franchise, many viewers are still unhappy about witnessing what they believe is staged drama.
