Many 90 Day Fiancé fans have speculated that Chantel Everett’s decision to date a woman stemmed from emotional scars left by her ex-husband, Pedro Jimeno.
The former couple’s tumultuous relationship played out publicly, and their divorce was a major storyline on the show. As a result, some viewers assumed that Chantel’s shift in romantic preference was a reaction to being hurt by men, particularly Pedro. This theory gained traction online, with fans interpreting her new relationship as a form of emotional self-protection or rebellion.
However, recent screenshots shared by the fan page *The Reality TV Mess* offer a different perspective. Chantel’s girlfriend, Ashley, spoke out in the comments to clarify the situation, saying she felt compelled to speak on Chantel’s behalf because she knows her deeply and considers her a soulmate. Ashley addressed the widespread assumption directly, stating that the idea Chantel is dating her because she was hurt by men is simply false. According to Ashley, their relationship blossomed naturally — they fell for each other without any agenda or emotional baggage dictating the connection. “The rest is just history,” Ashley wrote, emphasizing that their love story is about mutual feelings, not past pain.
