The Family Chantel star Pedro Jimeno got a villain edit on the popular series, which is now over, but maybe he didn’t really deserve it. Right now, a 90 Day Fiancé franchise celeb, Scott Wern, is asking Pedro to get in the ring – Scott wants to battle Pedro for a $100,000 prize. While Pedro hasn’t agreed to the “90 Day: Boxing” bout, he’s fighting to redeem himself.

Since Pedro broke Chantel Everett’s heart, the man Karen Everett accused of “harvesting the American dollar” has been judged. The people who criticize him can be really mean. The shade they throw is probably more memorable than the praise he gets. In fact, Pedro may feel bullied sometimes. A lot of people have gone through breakups without being raked over the coals. Chantel’s heartache was so extreme that it’s seared into viewers’ minds. However, there’s always the chance that Chantel also did things that led to their split. Putting it all on Pedro might be way too judgmental.

8Pedro’s Telling Followers How To Have Better Relationships

Is He Sharing His Own Pain Over How The Everetts Treated Him?

Pedro isn’t exactly Dr. Phil – the Dominican Republican man is actually known for his troubled marriage, which, it could be argued, failed spectacularly. He never made peace with Chantel afterwards, as Dr. Phil would probably have recommended. In fact, Pedro and Chantel’s divorce got very messy, with dual restraining orders. Nonetheless, he really opened up when he shared a post from “The Mindset Mentor” on Instagram. A self-help guru was encouraging viewers to avoid being “selfish” in relationships, and said that partners go wrong when they become

distractions,

strongly implying that they pull their partners off course.

While it’s possible that Pedro felt like Chantel was a “selfish distraction,” it’s also possible that Pedro’s looking within, and really doing some heavy self-examination. He may have regrets about his relationship, remembering Chantel’s tears and accusations, and how his in-laws turned on him. When she said, “he knows what he did” onscreen, she basically put the black hat on his head. That ominous accusation made Pedro appear evil – like a man who cheated, lied and used his way to America.

He could be haunted by the past, due to guilt, sadness or an array of other emotions. Pedro probably doesn’t feel like he was the only one who ruined the relationship. Usually, it takes two. Nonetheless, in the post above, a critic blamed Pedro alone, writing:

Hahaha you Pedro giving relationship advise? Is this what you did when you left Chantel in the most cruel manner?

That person may have forgotten that he had to deal with Chantel’s parents – that wasn’t easy. From day one, they didn’t trust the smoothly handsome man from another country. In the end, Karen was right to doubt him, but she didn’t have a crystal ball, so maybe she should have tried to be nicer. By setting a negative tone, she helped to poison the relationship. Nonetheless, Pedro is painted as the villain. It’s not one hundred percent fair.

7Chantel Never Publicly Forgives Pedro

She Won’t Let Him Off The Hook

Chantel makes it seem like Pedro was a cruel puppetmaster, always pulling the strings. However, when she accused him of planning to use and then discard her from day one, she may have gone too far. All along, she showed some knowledge of his red flags. For example, she believed that he was too close to his sister Nicole Jimeno’s best friend, Coraima Morla.

Since Chantel has agency over her own life, she should probably acknowledge that she had suspicions and pushed them aside, choosing to believe in some fairytale.

If Pedro did connive and cheat, the fact that Chantel didn’t fully believe he would sink so low doesn’t give him a pass. If Pedro’s guilty of that, he’s guilty of remarkably low conduct, but plenty of people have stooped to the very same. So, with that in mind, it’s not impossible that Pedro used Chantel and had some master plan. It’s just that he denies it.

6No One Believes Pedro

Chantel Said & Did Too Much

No matter what Pedro says, he continues to be considered a cold-hearted person. During the last season of the show, there were so many emotional and overwrought scenes. Chantel was often in tears or yelling. She wasn’t faking her anguish. She was in a bad way and that’s because Pedro left her. It’s her horror at the situation that probably stays in viewers’ minds, not Pedro’s attempts to explain his side of things. This is one more reason why Pedro is thought of as a heart-breaker.

5Chantel & Her Relatives Crossed The Line

Karen Everett Hired A Private Investigator

The Everett family broke boundaries to dig up dirt on Pedro, and then they used it to try and show the world that he was a bad person. For example, The Family Chantel‘s Karen Everett, always a feisty presence, hired a private investigator (PI) to poke into Pedro’s past. The investigator seemed to believe that Pedro was too close to his boss, Laura Delgado.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Of course, hiring a private investigator is a violation. However, if Pedro always planned to leave Chantel, he probably had it coming. This all gets a bit sticky morally. It really depends on what is true, and unfortunately, Chantel may never know for sure. There are hints that Pedro wasn’t faithful, but no hard proof.

Her friend did tell her that Pedro planned all of it, right from the very start – however, that friend was a former pal of Pedro’s. He may have lied to get revenge. If people don’t look at both sides, they won’t judge a situation fairly.

When it comes to who to trust, it seems like Pedro’s the bad one. However, there’s another side to things – his side. That side has been largely obscured by the flood of drama coming from the Everett family. They want to push a narrative, and probably wholeheartedly believe that it’s true. However, they may have gotten some things wrong.

4Chantel Keeps Trying To Get Sympathy Online

She Probably Wants To Win The Breakup

Chantel is not a bad person – the way she’s reacted to what happened to her is human, not evil. She believed she’d grow old with Pedro. He made her believe that was true. So, when he began freezing her out, it really changed her. She became sad and fearful – she cried a lot and was exhausted. In fact, Chantel showed a lot of textbook signs of depression. It’s terrible what heartbreak can do, and in the post above, she talked about “red flags.”

As previously mentioned, she probably saw some of those red flags and chose to ignore them.

Now, she’s trying to win the breakup with the types of cryptic posts that subtly point the finger. Above, she’s seemingly trying to say that Pedro’s red flags were everywhere, but that her attraction was so strong, she ignored them. She’s twisting the narrative a little, moving from the heartbroken “woman scorned” to a powerful female who chose badly on purpose. It’s her right to post whatever she wants, but of course, cryptic jabs usually come through loud and clear. Sometimes, they say a lot about the person who posts, as getting cryptic is juvenile.

It’s also a bit cowardly.

That being said, she’s unloaded about Pedro plenty of times. Chantel is capable of direct criticism. He has earned some of that shade fair and square. Now, he must move on, and although he’s done things wrong, he’s not necessarily the uber-villain he’s supposed to be.

3The Everetts Make Him Seem Like A Green Card Hunter

Is That Really True?

Pedro‘s a real estate agent, not some overt gold digger. He takes care of his body and makes a good impression on clients. He cares about his work. The fact that Pedro looks so good may actually work against him. He seems like he’s on the make when the truth is that women throw themselves at him. Above, the very well-groomed Pedro’s getting ready for another workday. He wants the American Dream, but he’s not asking for a free ride.

Pedro’s pretty boy appeal is his superpower, but it’s also a curse.

Pedro’s perceived as the ultimate Green Card Hunter. He’s a guy who’s so attractive that he’s like the “honey trap” in a spy novel. He’s there to lure in the unsuspecting with his masculine wiles, drawing them towards a web of intrigue that isn’t exactly in their favor. However, it has to be said that “honey trap” Pedro could have found a lot of ways to get to America. Plenty of women would have brought him over – his whole shot at the American Dream wasn’t necessarily the once-trusting Chantel.

2Pedro Has To Guard His Career

Reputation & Success Can Be Linked

Pedro is in a job where his reputation matters. Yes, in a sense, his notoriety really helps him. However, on the flip side, all the harsh comments he gets probably stress him out as he’s trying to build trust with clients. As a realtor in Georgia, he may be very trustworthy. Since he has so much drive, it’s likely he does everything right at work. He really cares about his job. When he sees criticism about his character and morals, he probably wonders, “how’s that going to impact my career.”

This is why Pedro deserves some grace and some respect. He may be a heartbreaker but it hasn’t been proven that he was using Chantel from the start. There’s circumstantial “evidence,” but he says he just fell out of love. Everyone has fallen out of love at one time or another – it’s not a crime, even though it hurts other people.

1Pedro Has To Hide His Dating Life

Critics Will Attack Any New Relationship

Pedro’s so handsome – he’s got it together and there’s no way that women don’t want to date him, “honey trap” or not. There are plenty of appreciative comments from females on his Instagram. These women seem undaunted by his history with Chantel, and some blame her (and her family) for dragging him through the mud. So, it’s quite possible that Pedro’s secretly dating, but feels like he can’t share his joy over a new relationship because, if he does, he’ll inflame The Family Chantel fans. This fear is very logical.

On the post shared previously, where Pedro was dressed up for the day, one fan couldn’t help but admire his looks. These sorts of comments appear every day, along with the inevitable shade from haters. It’s a mixed bag at Pedro’s IG. The fan wrote:

You look so handsome and professional. Congrats on all of your success.💚

Its not Pedro’s fault that he looks like a male model. That’s just the luck of the draw – of course, he takes care of the body that he has, doing Muay Thair workouts that give him an impressively ripped physique. That’s nothing wrong with that either. Pedro is penalized for being a glamorous man, but The Family Chantel probably wouldn’t have gotten on TV if he wasn’t.
