After Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno divorced on The Family Chantel season 4, Pedro was primarily blamed for their split, but Chantel may also be guilty. Chantel’s protective family naturally turned on her ex, though the majority of allegiance was given to Chantel on social media as Pedro began receiving an outpouring of negativity. However, Pedro may not be entirely to blame for their split, as Chantel could have also contributed to their failed marriage.

After appearing on 90 Day Fiancé, Pedro and Chantel landed their spinoff. It initially focused on the issues Pedro faced from Chantel’s family, though she also faced problems from his family. However, a lot changed for Pedro between The Family Chantel seasons 3 and 4. He entered the latter season with a new attitude and suddenly treated his wife with coldness and anger. Pedro was accused of cheating on Chantel and talking rudely to her multiple times; the season unsurprisingly ended with Pedro filing for divorce. Pedro is even rubbing his happiness in Chantel's face. However, she may not be entirely innocent after all.

Was Chantel Everett In The Wrong For Taking The Money?

While Chantel was always supported on The Family Chantel, one area of controversy was over her draining her and Pedro's joint business bank account. Some thought it was justified as Pedro had already used large sums of money without her permission. At the time, Pedro was visibly upset about Chantel’s move and even cried as he demanded what he considered to be the half of his back. The situation also brought up the debate and a legal discussion about exactly how much money Chantel owed Pedro, as she chose to marry a foreign spouse and take him to the U.S. on sponsorship. This called Chantel's character into question.

Did Chantel Everett Let Her Family Ruin Her Marriage?

Another of the most common complaints against Chantel regarding her failed marriage on The Family Chantel is that her family drama destroyed her marriage. Though this doesn’t justify Pedro’s alleged cheating or behavior, Chantel’s family has received backlash since they first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé. Karen Everett’s meddling demeanor was accepted, although Pedro said he wanted to find his own “community” in the United States. This led to him spending less time with Chantel and her family and more time with his Spanish-speaking colleagues. It's possible that he felt isolated in the U.S., contributing to the dissolution of their relationship.

Overall, Pedro continues to be blamed for ending his marriage with Chantel. However, relationships are two-sided. While Chantel showed maturity, she has also been put on blast for immature behavior. Chantel was particularly mean to her sister-in-law Angenette Wylie during The Family Chantel season 2, which caused her to lose sympathy at the time. Meanwhile, since the content in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise has been accused of being scripted, it's impossible to know what occurred between Chantel and Pedro on The Family Chantel and inside their marriage.
