‘The Family Chantel’ Pedro Accused of Cheating With Co-worker Antonella & Embarrassing His Wife!
90 Day Fiancé alum, Chantel Everett Jimeno, admitted that she was “jealous” of her husband, Pedro Jimeno’s co-workers, including his friend, Antonella Barrenechea, on Monday’s episode of The Family Chantel.
“The thing that bothers me for real for real, there was one night when Pedro came home and he had a girl’s name taped to his keys and it said, ‘Antonella,’” Chantel told a friend, during Monday’s episode of the TLC show.
Chantel’s friend asked for more info on Antonella, and Chantel explained—“That’s a girl he works with and takes her to work all the time. Like, her charger’s in there, her cup and the mirror’s been down a lot of times like a girl’s been doing her makeup in there.”
Chantel confirmed that she had confronted Pedro about the sketchy situation, but that her husband claimed that Antonella’s name was taped to his keys because of an office prank game.
Chantel’s friend spoke out in a confessional spot about why she didn’t believe that the Dominican Republic native was stepping out on his wife.
“Because he looked at me in the eyes and told me how much he loves her,” Chantel’s friend explained. “Pedro has shared with me that he’s dealing with things outside of the marriage problem, like with his mom, with his sister. But if it is a serious enough issue where it’s happening? I’ma beat his ass.”
Chantel’s friend suggested that perhaps Pedro had found a quasi-family amid his real estate co-workers. She added that Pedro might be “clinging” to his friends, because of the distance from his family.
“Why won’t he cling to me?” Chantel responded.
“Because you guys aren’t communicating,” her friend replied. “I think you need to just get to know him again, date him, and if he’s hanging out with these friends at work — you hang out with these friends at work.”
Chantel remarked—“But I might have to put some people in their place.”
Chantel explained why she was resistant to spending time with Pedro and his colleagues.
“It makes me feel jealous of the time that he spends with them, that he’s having so much fun with other people and he’s not having fun with me,” she said. “But I’m gonna fight for my relationship and I’m gonna fight for my marriage. I hope that by me fighting, he’ll see my efforts and he’ll realize that I love him and I’m here for better or for worse.”
Chantel was later called out by Pedro’s boss, Laura, after Pedro felt that his wife “walked into the room with [an] attitude.”
Fans took to Twitter to sound off about the episode, and Pedro’s questionable relationship with Antonella.
One fan wrote—“Regardless of how over the top Chantel is I actually do believe she should trust her instincts when it comes to Pedro and Antonella. The way Antonella looked when Chantel walked into the room said it all. I saw it when the first episode aired.”
Another tweeted—“Antonella is just as disrespectful as Pedro accepting rides and mall visits knowing Pedro is married. That entire office should have mention the word “perception” and then offered that girl a ride themselves.”
A viewer chimed in—“Come to find out that Pedro’s boss is Antonella’s aunt no wonder she went out of her way to gaslight Chantel into thinking there’s nothing going on at the office two faced all of them.”
One fan tweeted—“pedro’s body language and explanation for hanging out with antonella says it all. this man is on some bullshit.”
Another noted—“Antonella looks so guilty. The coworkers literally look so clueless about the “ownership game” this girl is just setting her territory on a married man.”
A fan wrote—“Pedro definitely is cheating. His attitude has changed. His “friends like are in his ear. I will say you’ll lose how you get them…. ANTONELLA.”
Another viewer remarked—“Antonella standing there like a side bitch. A hoe that know she’s been caught up.”
The Family Chantel airs on Mondays at 8 pm, ET, on TLC.
