“You out of anybody should know how much this hurts me right now,” Everett yelled at her then-partner during a trailer for season 2 of Family Chantel, which aired in October 2020. Jimeno, for his part, replied: “I support you more than your family right now and you know that.”
Everett and Jimeno, who wed shortly after their 90 Day engagement, have been candid about their marital issues — and their drama with her family.

Everett’s brother, Royal Everett, announced during season 2 of the Family Chantel that he intended to move
