Pedro! [exclaims]
Baby.
-Oh, my God. I love you so much. -Aw.
Hello Chantel, my baby.
[Pedro speaking]
[Chantel] This is all I ever wanted.
I have something to tell you.
Pedro is not here on a student visa.
Pedro is actually here on a K-1 fiance visa.
And we have to get married on Thursday.
We will proceed with extreme caution.
[all cheering]
[Chantel] Our families were able to come together
-for Pedro and I. I love it. -Give me a kiss.
It really felt like a fairy tale.
You just call me a [bleep] bitch?
You are a [bleep] whore.
But it was never easy.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. What'd you say [bleep]?
[bleep] you talking about? [bleep] What's up? What's up?
-[all screaming] -Hey, hey, hey.
[in Spanish]
Oh, [bleep] no.
[all speaking in Spanish]
[glass breaks]
[Pedro] Last season on The Family Chantel.
-There's been a few changes in our life. -Yeah.
We bought a house.
Buying a house has led Pedro to a new career path.
Feels like Pedro works so much all of a sudden.
Like, that's all he does.
He's making a lot of friends at work.
You're killing it.
But the way he treats me has changed.
Since moving to the new house, Pedro's been getting on me
a lot about cooking and cleaning.
I've been cleaning your dirty drawers, picking up
after you,
doing everything that a good wife
should, everything that a good wife should,
and I haven't seen any positive feedback from you.
So it has to be something else.
So what's going on with you, Pedro?
We haven't had sex in months.
So why?
He doesn't want to spend any time with me.
If he's hanging out with these friends at work,
you hang out with these friends at work.
He's probably clinging to his friends at work,
which are somewhat like his family.
Why won't he cling to me?
So I want to know what kind of fun they're having.
Hey.
So he came home with his key fob,
and it had Antonella's name on it.
-That is something unusual and highly suspect. -Hey, hello, hey...
Are you cheating on me?
So there's nothing more we need to discuss?
[voice breaking] I trusted my husband because he told me that
he would not leave me.
He told me that!
[Pedro speaking]
I'll give it to you.
-I cannot trust you. I called the police already. -I'm not--
-Oh. -[police siren wailing]
Baby, your bath is ready just like you like it.
-Here we are. [squeals] -[laughs]
-Are you ready? -It is puppy time.
-Ah, oh, my baby. Oh, my God, my baby, I love you. -Mmm.
It's been nine months since Pedro
moved out and filed for divorce.
Winter moved in with me so that I wouldn't be alone,
and she's been living with me ever since.
We have two new additions to our family.
Chloe and Panda Bear Chanel.
They are sisters.
Little Pomeranians, my little pom-poms.
Okay, come on, puppies.
You've been a little dirty girl.
-Yes, puppy, puppy, puppy. -You've been a little dirty girl.
Having Winter and the puppies around has been
a good distraction, but the last nine months
going through this divorce
has been the hardest time of my life.
Didn't want to eat.
I stopped going out.
I've had more bad days than good.
Days when it really hits me hard that my marriage is over.
Who needs men when you can have a puppy?
I already got one bitch.
I don't need another one.
In nine months,
I haven't spoken a word to my ex
or even heard a thing from him.
It's insane to me that after being married for seven years,
someone could just cut me off completely.
So it's like, you don't give a [bleep] about me.
You want to vanish from my life like we never existed.
I never imagined how emotionally broken...
Pedro made me feel.
How long does it take to get over somebody that you love?
[sighs] I don't know.
[Spanish music playing]
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Okay, let's go, kids.
So now back. Oops.
So cute! So cute!
Oh, you guys love this.
At 32 years old, this is not where I thought I'd be.
I wanted to stay with my husband.
I wanted children.
I wanted, you know, all of the things
that come with marriage.
And now I feel that Pedro has just ruined all of them, honestly.
Pedro made promises to me.
He said he was always gonna be there, he was gonna
love me forever, and he didn't do that.
He left.
I will never forget how it feels to be betrayed
by someone that you love so much.
I will never forget that.
At first, I wanted revenge, but now I feel like
karma's a bitch, and he's gonna get what he deserves.
[exclaims]
My mom said it from day one, that Pedro and his family
were out to get me, that he was using me for a green card
and that he didn't love me, but I chose to trust my husband
and to go with my naive gut because I loved him.
And in the end, joke's on me because
everything that my mom said was true.
I've been negotiating with Pedro for months through
lawyers, and I've come up with one final offer.
And if Pedro doesn't accept that,
I'm gonna drag his ass to court.
[cell phone ringing]
[all speaking in Spanish]
[in Spanish]
[both laughing]
[in Spanish]
-[Lidia speaking] -[Pedro speaking]
Ah.
He was trying to say that I stole money, but no, I didn't.
I did take money out of the account,
but I was using that money for our divorce
and the bills of the house, and then I gave the rest
to the registry of the court.
Initially, I took all of the money because
I didn't know what he was capable of.
And I'm like, I need to take this money out before Pedro
runs off to the Dominican Republic somewhere and hides it.
Yeah.
No, no, no, no, no.
Toast to finally being done with that ass [bleep]
and his low-down family.
Pedro was scamming Chantel the entire time.
I'm glad you're out of that situation.
I have to see him so that we can sell this house.
-I don't know if I'm gonna argue, flip a table. -Bring a stun gun...
I don't know.
Pedro better not say one [bleep] thing to me.
If it's not, "I'm sorry." I don't want to hear a damn word.
♪ What I got to lose right now Nothing to prove right now Yeah, yeah ♪
All right.
Let's get this over with.
It's been a long time coming.
Too long.
My lawyer emailed me today saying that Pedro
agreed to my offer
to split all of the assets 50-50
in order to avoid going to trial.
So I'm going to my lawyer's office now
to read over the documents and to make sure that Pedro
didn't try to slip something in at the last minute.
It's so crazy that this is actually happening to me.
-I'm going through with it. -Well, I'm a little sad.
-Oh. -Just because I feel like
-robbed a little bit because I thought, like, I was excited -Mmm, yeah.
because we were gonna be doing life together
and, like, raising our kids just like we were raised together.
And so, like, that's something that, for me, I don't know
if it makes me more sad or more angry.
That is something that I was really looking forward to.
[sniffles] Yeah, that's one of the things that
I was looking forward to, girl.
I thought that we were gonna have kids
[sobs] and they were gonna go to soccer together.
and that we were going to be, like, you know, mom friends.
I know.
I wanted kids so bad, you know?
I know.
[sobs]
[sighs]
I wanted children with Pedro, and I'd ask every year,
and he'd say, next year, maybe next year.
After I finish school, we can have a house,
you know, have a couple of kids.
-Ten years? Ten years. -Ten years.
-Maybe, maybe ten years... -We'll be 35.
To me, it seems like he never wanted them with me
in the first place.
And it's all his plan, that he only wanted to marry
an American girl, come to the United States,
do all of the things to make our relationship look legit,
and then to leave me when the coast is clear.
And it's easier to leave somebody without children.
-All right. -Hey, Jarett.
-Her friends are here. -Yeah. Oh.
-Hi. -Chantel, welcome.
-Good to see you. -Good to see you, too.
How have you been?
I feel like I do deserve more than 50-50,
but I'm tired of this long, drawn-out process.
I'm sitting here for a whole year
trying to get through this divorce
with the constant reminder that I'm married to a scammer
and, like, just reliving it over and over
with every conversation with my lawyer,
and I'm just, like, tired.
I think that Pedro deserved nothing.
And I think that he deserves to go back to his country,
which he allegedly only left for "love."
So... [laughs]
There's no love here.
What we have is the settlement documents for your divorce.
Let's go over it one more time so that we understand
what we're dealing with.
This is about everything that was obtained
during your marriage to Pedro,
but everything needs to be split up now
that we're ending that marriage.
Let's talk about the division of the property.
The proceeds are going to be split
after the closing costs are done.
The proceeds will be split between both parties evenly,
50-50 down for the house.
Pedro initially offered me 25%
of the sale of the house because
of the money that I took and I spent from the joint account.
But there was no way in hell that I was going to accept
less than 50.
We talked about vacating the residence.
You're going to collect all of your property
and be out within two weeks.
Then it'll be ready for sale and you can put it on the market.
Now, obviously, once that house is marketed,
you will have to work with the realtor together
with Pedro to get that sold.
I'm excited to sell the house
because it's my last tie to Pedro.
Pedro really, really wanted to sell the house
with his real estate firm that he works for,
but I don't trust Pedro and I don't trust the firm.
I decided that it's best that we hire
an outside real estate agent.
So I have to go to the real estate office
to meet up with Pedro for the first time in nine months.
The thought of it makes me physically ill.
You will keep all of the property from the home
except the things that we put on the very last page.
Remember the tools, the pressure washer,
-Yeah. -things of that nature.
But all of the furniture, all of the items inside
the home are going to be yours.
So you're ready to go.
Do you have any other questions?
I know he was saying a lot, but do you feel confident?
-I'm ready to sign. -Excellent.
Well, please take this pen here.
I have a mix of emotions signing the paperwork
because I loved him.
And, like, I know we're not for each other, but we were.
I felt like the perfect bride, the perfect wife.
I had a husband who loved me.
I was walking down the aisle into my fairytale life.
Pedro, you make me happy every day.
And I promise to love you no matter what may come.
And today, to be signing
divorce papers, it's just like,
I never would have imagined this day in a thousand years.
-Well, congratulations, you're done. -Yay!
Settling outside of court was the best thing for me,
and that my family are not gonna understand.
They're probably gonna hold it against me, but hopefully
they can let it go with time so that
we can all just move on.
-Thank you for everything. -Of course.
[Pedro speaking in Spanish]
[cheering]
He wanted to take all the money.
I said, let's do 50-50.
-But even giving him 50-50 is everything. -Oh, hell no.
No. Do not settle.
How dare he come in and tell you,
I'm going to [imitates Pedro] divorce and I want the house?
[in normal voice] How dare he?
-I've heard a lot about this place. -It is.
Let the celebration begin.
After signing, I have a lot of emotions,
a lot of feelings of regret, a lot of feelings
of failure, of, you know, this shouldn't be,
why is this happening?
But then also, like, I know that this was so toxic
that it had to end, but this is the start.
This is the start of my new life.
So...
We'll see how it goes.
What do you recommend that's, like, the sweetest thing on the menu?
-Okay, well, actually, what she means, -As far as drinks go.
what do you recommend for a newly-divorced woman?
-A newly-divorced woman, yes. -A newly-single woman.
Yeah, a newly-single, she's celebrating.
Summertime sadness? Wait.
-Okay, but let's change the name of it. -[overlapping chatter]
Summertime happiness.
I'll take a summertime happiness.
One of those.
We are here celebrating the departure of Pedro
and his horrible, horrible familia.
-We're glad. Good riddance. -Mm-hmm.
Pack your bags and go.
Toast to never having to talk to Pedro, Lidia,
or Nicole ever again.
To finally being done with that ass [bleep], his low-down family.
-Yes! -[all cheering]
Okay, one thing about it.
His family came up on you, and they should be
ashamed of themselves.
I said his family is a bunch of barracudas.
They have capitalized off of using our daughter,
-Right. And I don't like that. -our sister...
in a very big way.
-So much wasted time, so much wasted money. -I did say so.
You worked two or three jobs just to bring him here, girl.
-Like, oh my God. -You did.
You did work three jobs to bring his smelly ass here.
Well, that was a bust.
I told you to leave him where he was.
Pedro was scamming Chantel the entire time
from the day that she met him to the day
that he left that house and abandoned her in it
and left her all by her lonesome.
He and his family devised a plan to get
an American woman, get them to marry, and to bring him
to the United States of America.
So that he can gain access to the American economy.
And he can, therefore, bring his entire family up off
of one woman, one strong woman,
-I must say, off of Chantel. -Yes.
But there is a power stronger than he that
he knows not of yet, but he will.
Alas, he will.
I knew from the jump that they were scamming since the very beginning.
I knew it. I knew from the jump.
-'Cause I told you. -They was no good.
I'm glad you're out of that situation.
I'm definitely glad.
He wanted to take all the money.
I said, let's do 50-50.
-But even giving him 50-50 is everything. -Oh, hell no.
-It should have been like 99-1. -It's everything.
I wish I could have been you because that boy
wouldn't have got nothing.
I told her, no, do not settle. Take him to court.
You should have taken that scammer to court because
you should have gotten alimony and the house.
How dare he come in and tell you,
[imitates Pedro] I'm going to divorce and I want the house?
[in normal voice] How dare he?
How dare he?
Do you have to see this dipwad ever again?
I have to see him at the realtor's office
so that we can sell this house.
I don't know how you do it.
I don't wanna see him again.
-I don't know if it's gonna bring back old emotions. -You--
I don't know if it's gonna bring up anger.
Yes, it's gonna bring back some emotions.
-I don't know if I'm gonna argue, flip a table. -Bring a stun gun with--
-I don't know what... -Don't do any of those things.
I haven't seen him.
Don't ever lower yourself beneath him.
-May I... -Because I have cried so much.
I don't know if I have any more tears left.
-You don't. -No.
You don't need to cry anymore.
I don't know how I'm gonna handle it when I see him.
It's been nine months since I saw Pedro last,
and I'm really unpredictable right now with my emotions.
I don't know if it's gonna make me miss him
and the good times, or if I'm going to rehash
all of the bad memories of the end of our marriage.
I'm worried.
I'm worried about doing something
that I'm gonna regret later.
[indistinct chatter]
[speaking in Spanish]
-[in English] Oh, my God. -Mami.
[cell phone ringing]
[cheering]
[in English]
[in Spanish]
Uh-huh.
[in Spanish]
So I understand you guys are selling the house.
You are, unfortunately, getting divorced.
[Chantel] No, we're already divorced.
Okay, okay.
It's going to be so hard to sell this house
with Pedro because he's already being a dick.
[engine starts, revs]
I know that I never truly want to see Pedro again.
This is sort of like the last thing that we have together.
And after we finally sell the house,
I'll never have to talk to him again.
I never thought that this is the way my relationship
would end up living in a...
a one bedroom apartment for seven years.
And then when I finally graduated,
buying a house that we would only stay in
for a few months before I would be fooled around on
and divorced.
I had suspicions that Pedro was cheating on me
last year with multiple women.
But, I don't know, he could've been cheating
on me the whole time.
-Hi. -Hi, Kate Secret.
-Pedro, how's it going, ma'am? -Nice to meet you.
I loved Pedro for seven years, and I haven't heard
anything from him in nine months.
So Pedro better not say one [bleep] thing to me.
If it's not, I'm sorry. I don't want to hear a damn word
come out of Pedro's mouth.
-Hi, Chantel. Kate. -Hi.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
Welcome.
Cool. Um, so I understand you guys are selling the house.
You are, unfortunately, getting divorced.
[Chantel] Oh, we're already divorced.
[Kate] Okay, okay.
Okay, so you are ready to wash your hands of this house.
-Uh-huh. -You guys are gonna split.
After not seeing him for nine months,
he's been out of sight and out of mind.
But seeing him, um...
really was just a reminder of how badly I was treated.
And the moment that I sat down, I felt like
I made a mistake to show up and grace somebody with
my presence who has treated me so bad and evil
and just disregard for me like I was trash.
So I understand you've had it for two years,
bought in January 2021 for $290 as a five,
three and a half, and you have around 2,600 square feet.
I would really put you in a $425, $435 range
as a list price.
And knowing you bought it for $290,
I think that would still give you guys a good profit
to pay off the rest of your loan.
And, um, 6% commission would be standard.
425 for 0.6.
No, 0.6.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I understand with, you know, divorce, you want
to make sure you have a neutral third party.
-Everything was already discussed and decided upon -Yeah.
when we signed our divorce documents.
So that's what we're going to do.
-I'm Switzerland. -Yes.
I will be here to be on both your sides
-through this process. -[chuckles]
And are you willing to pay any of the closing costs,
-or do you want that to be... -Sure.
I mean, whatever's quickest and easiest.
-Right. -Well, great.
Right.
Well, we'll find a good balance and make sure
you're happy with whatever you're walking away with.
All right.
I'm so--
-Did you hear something? -[laughs]
Um, I'll let you guys handle that one.
Pedro mentions picking up his gaming chair.
It's his favorite gaming chair.
But according to the terms in the divorce,
everything inside the house, all of the furnishings,
belong to me, and they're mine now.
So there's no chance he's getting that gaming chair.
Well, it was nice talking to you guys.
Yeah, nice to talk to you as well.
Thank you both so much for your time, and I'm excited.
It's going to be so hard to sell this house
with Pedro because he's already being a dick.
I should have taken him to court,
bled him for every penny, and sent him packing back
to the Dominican Republic.
All right.
If Pedro keeps up this [bleep] attitude
and continues to treat me this way,
he's going to get what's coming.
[inaudible]
[Pedro speaking]
[speaking Spanish]
[Chantel] You guys.
Oh, that's Coraima.
[laughs] I knew something was up, I knew it, I knew it.
Kiai!
I've had it up to here with seeing how hurt Chantel is.
[sniffles]
I have to protect my baby by any means necessary.
-Hola! -[grunts]
[shrieks]
Oh.
[bleep] you.
Hi.
I'm meeting with the P.I.
because Pedro has really hurt Chantel,
and I don't think that he should just walk away scot-free.
[speaking Spanish]
[Chantel] We just got a package from Santo Domingo, and...
I'm scared, you're scaring me.
...I'm gonna go to Santo Domingo and tell Pedro
and his whole family that we are done.
[Chantel] All of the lies, all of the deceiving,
this all ends now.
You know what you did Pedro, [bleep] you.
You were having sex with another woman!
[sobs]
