“I can no longer sit idly by while you mistreat and malign me in such an egregious manner,” she explained. “You have presented yourself to the public as a praiseworthy father and a husband who has been suffering by my alleged actions and behavior.

The reality star went on to accuse him of posting “inaccuracies, false statements, self-serving comments, outright misrepresentations and blatant lies” on
social media to
garner sympathy. She called out a video he took of himself driving with their kids
, Meilani, 4, and
Greyson, 2, in the car, and for feeding Greyson pizza even though he’s allergic to dairy and gluten.

She also claimed that he had refused to let Greyson’s therapist into the house, wouldn’t admit Greyson had any issues for months (he was recently
diagnosed as autistic), and was too cheap to pay Meilani’s nanny so that he could have an overnight visit with his daughter.

Jenni also accused Roger of
abusing her and using her past as a survivor of domestic violence against her. She wrote, “You are an abuser to the core, Roger Mathews. If this was not enough, you have spit at me. You have pushed me. You have shoved me. You have aggressively thrown me to the ground. You have prevented me from closing doors to escape having you coming at me. You have belittled and disparaged me. You have threatened me.”

JWoww wrote that she had tried to co-parent with him, but that Roger had become intractable. “You won’t even commit on a permanent basis to me having Mother’s Day with the kids and you having Father’s Day,” she said.
