Former The Family Chantel star Chantel Everett has been too easy on Pedro Jimeno over the years, which makes fans think that she was naive about him. The Atlanta native began her reality TV journey on 90 Day Fiancé season 4, during which she married Pedro Jimeno, whom she's now estranged from. When they first debuted on the show, Chantel and Pedro seemed like a passionate couple. However, things soon changed, due to family drama and personal differences. The last season of the popular series showed the couple finally parting ways, after spending more than five years together.
While Chantel and Pedro's divorce was seemingly mutual, most fans blame the Dominican Republic native for their split. During the last few seasons of the TLC spin-off show, viewers saw Pedro checking out of his marriage to pursue his real estate career. After kickstarting his job as a real estate agent, he started spending too much time with his female co-workers, and stopped caring about his wife's emotions. Over the past few months, rumors about Pedro's alleged infidelity have surfaced on social media, and many 90 Day Fiancé viewers have begun to think that he is a cheater.
Chantel Everett Was Insulted By The Jimeno Family
There are a few reasons why fans feel that Chantel has been naive about Pedro on the show. For example, when her husband and his family threw shade at her, she let all the insults slide. During a 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season, Pedro's sister Nicole Jimeno invited a friend to create problems in her brother's married life. Pedro's mom Lidia Jimeno has also disrespected Chantel on multiple occasions. Despite witnessing the drama, Pedro never took action against his family. In fact, he kept blaming his American wife for their problems. Sadly, Chantel kept taking their insults, instead of fighting back.
Chantel Everett Never Called Out Pedro's Sly Remarks
Chantel also failed to understand Pedro's true intentions, when he kept threatening her with divorce. Over the years, there were multiple times when he hinted that he wanted to file for divorce. Once, Pedro clearly told Chantel that he would leave her after getting his Green Card, if she didn't change her attitude. In a different episode, Pedro told his wife that, "It's more better to leave" if problems between their families didn't improve. Chantel rarely retaliated against Pedro's threats, and let him walk all over her.
Chantel Everett Didn't Trust Her Family's Intuition
From the beginning, Chantel was too innocent about Pedro, and her love for him seemed to cloud her thinking. In 90 Day Fiancé season 4, she lied to her family about her man. She avoided telling her parents the truth about their relationship. Many viewers were shocked to see how the nurse practitioner kept fibbing about Pedro, until things got too serious. When the Everett family showed their concern about Pedro's intentions, or him potentially being a scammer, The Family Chantel alum Chantel failed to pay attention to their reasons.
