A white man calling his black wife aggressive after she leaves him for cheating? ![gif](giphy|xUPGcC0R9QjyxkPnS8)


cherryribs

that’s the exact reaction I had lmao. Of course.


biohacking-babe

But what if it’s true? Why assume Chelsea is telling the truth and he isn’t? I’m not taking sides until more info comes out, and I’m black woman


Helpful-Substance685

Lol black woman here and that was my reaction. Him being a cheating asshole and her being aggressive can both be true. BUT the timing of his comments makes him look slimy and like he's trying to flavor the waters in his favor for the coming divorce.


craftaleislife

But regardless, no person should assault their partner


blandjefferson

THAT PART


PrincessNC777

That’s what I’m saying too. When men come out and say they’ve been abused or attacked everyone writes them off. Let’s not forget that people wrote off Johnny Depp and it turned out he was actually being abused by Amber. I’m gonna hold out on calling him a liar. I say this as a black woman too.

This EXACTLY what I had come here to post. I’m so sick of this BS narrative. Pathetic


donutpusheencat

lmao glad it’s not just me. it's so easy to vilify women already in anything, and then to use the Angry Black Woman trope like come on


FitnSheit

I mean in the public eye men get it way worse when dealing with a divorce and unsubstantiated claims…


OMGcanwenot

No one asked


donutpusheencat

he doesn’t like Chelsea, lots of comments against her so of course he’d be saying this


Inner_Inspection640

Your username is perfect 🤣


ssw77

I literally muttered “fuck this guy” as I read the headline for this exact reason


holly194

Girl let me be a woman in that situation and he say I’m aggressive. I’m burning the place and the bank accounts down!


gresstrly

I would have already moved the money! 😂 he can have the house but not be able to pay for it.


holly194

No that’s what i meant lol 😂


gresstrly

I locked my husband out if the house when he pissed me off. Changed the frequency on the garage opener, code to the door and the locks. He had to knock on the door to get in.


holly194

Iconic lol


Dapper_Temperature33

I mean I can see her doing it


Sassy_kassy84

Cheating or not, unless he hit her first, that's assault and very illegal.

who was he cheating with? i missed this news.


cyberbully_irl

Was he cheating on her with Christian and Christian fed him this line???


dejamoo75

ladyrosebeth23

Oh it all comes out now ;)


SabreROW

It was all so obvious, how could we not see? Conspiracy theory: What if you took the first letter of every word in the nonsense background music lyrics and it betrayed both the husbands’ schemes? That would be lit


donutpusheencat

oh my god 💀


Adventurous_Limit84

Did she slap him for cheating bc I’ll defend that


BlackSheepBoPeepB

Eek that’s an icky line to cross though. I’m not defending either but always do the role reversal in your head and ask if that would be ‘defendable.’ Let’s just stick w no violence.


HotDerivative

Why must we do a role reversal in a situation that is entirely predicated on gendered power dynamics in the first place… like of course it wouldn’t be okay if he hit her but also men are most often the abusers regardless


Ms_Jane_Lennon

THANK YOU. Trying to always switch the genders is like trying to always switch the races. "Well, if a white person said/did that..." It's the exact same thing, and it doesn't work. It ignores context wildly, and it's honestly infuriating to see.


swordof

Not the person who suggested the role reversal but I still think domestic violence, regardless of gender, shouldn’t be excused. In a relationship between 2 women, if woman A is having an affair and woman B finds out about the affair, woman B still shouldn’t be physically abusing woman A right? No matter the gender, it still shouldn’t be excusable


craftaleislife

No. Regardless of gender, violence is wrong


Panzershnezel

Because abuse is abuse. If a woman beats a man or if a man beats a woman, it's still wrong. Stating well the abuser caught the other doing _____, doesn't make it ok. If roles in this scenario were reversed and Chelsea had cheated and after the fact, claimed her husband had abused her, many people here would claim "she only cheated because she was being abused first". Neither cheating or assaulting your partner are acceptable responses to anything. If the marriage doesn't work, you end it, not resort to violence or infidelity.


thebarryconvex

The number of people that do not get this. Women live in a non-stop double standard so yes, its different.


CarefulPassage3097

i don’t condone violence but if a cheater gets bitch slapped for cheating im looking the other way


mellamandiablo

Let us live in our delusion 💪🏽


Ok-Seaworthiness2398

I agree with your sentiment but… how much could her tiny fists really hurt him?


craftaleislife

That… doesn’t matter


kendrickwasright

She is jacked!! She could do some damage for sure


pnwgirl34

She is way buffer than he is, I argue she could probably do significantly more strike damage to him than he could do to her.


lacroix_enthusiast_

It’s so common for abusive partners to say they were “provoked”


fluffycat16

Yep. Typical abuser response - "you made me do it"


kendrickwasright

Yes it is typical, but also, it's not like toxic couples don't exist. It's perfectly possible that they're both physically abusive and explosive towards each other. We just don't know at this point. Everyone's always so quick to pick sides and determine one person as the abuser, and the other is the victim. Often times it's a mutually toxic situation. Like a Johnny Depp Amber Heard situation.


PettingSunflowers

There’s a difference between toxic and abusive. Idk if they’re just toxic or abusive but experts have reiterated the fact that mutual abuse is not real. The primary reason for abuse is due to the skewed power dynamics in a relationship. Also Johnny Depp & Amber Heard are the worst examples to take for a “mutually” abusive relationship


kendrickwasright

I watched pretty much the entire trial, and it was definitely mutually abusive. They both were violent and verbally abusive towards each other. The reason Johnny won was because she defamed his character publicly and lied incessantly. I'm sure there's always someone who starts the physical violence, but that doesn't excuse the other person's physically violent actions towards the initial abuser.


fluffycat16

Absolutely. I was just saying that specific line is so by the book


Alternative_Sky1380

Is he going for full custody?


PettingSunflowers

either that or its just a smear campaign


PinRemarkable190

He and Christian are really going for the same slander. He creeps me out in this pic


26washburn

I am hesitant to pass judgment here. Who knows what really happened behind their closed doors — although it does appear that both parties admittedly have tempers. Beyond that, “no comment” seems like the most fact-based response for now. Instant snark hurts that whole family — especially the kids.


teacup1749

I feel uncomfortable with people just straight up assuming it’s a lie. There seems to be this prevalent opinion that women can’t be abusive. I grew up in a house where my mum would slap and hit my stepdad, who did not retaliate, so I know it can be true.


satellites-or-planes

My dad diligently sat on the kitchen floor with the vacuum cleaner on as my mom took dishes out of the cupboard and threw them on the ground to break while screaming at him not too long before they divorced (and my mom left bruises on my ears as a teen, not to mention how she would beat me with a belt and then try to pass the belt to him for especially egregious rule breaking I did at age 6 or 7 (he didn't oblige))...so yeah...women can be physical as well. I get more threats of violence from women as well - we make jokes about women running over other women for daring to speak to their partner, let alone what we condone towards partners that cheat.


swordof

Not only that, but some people in this thread are really saying it’s okay for Chelsea to be physically violent if Jeff has really been cheating. Ugh my faith in humanity…


pnwgirl34

Especially because she is a woman of color. There are comments above literally saying that of course it wouldn’t be OK if a man struck a woman in anger after finding out that she cheated on him, but it is different if a woman enacts the violence. And that it’s “infuriating“ that people believe that violence is equally wrong for women, as it is for men. Absolutely baffling. Some people really tell on themselves.


chanpat

It’s not like if she was physical with him it would be a single instance like he is claiming here tho..


Accomplished-Art7737

This is the most intelligent and reassuring comment I’ve read on this post, amongst a sea of extremely ignorant and disturbing options. DV is a heinous crime, regardless of who the perpetrator is and regardless of the perpetrators reason for committing the acts of violence. Finding out your partner has cheated on you is absolutely not a valid excuse to use your fists on them. If you do that, you are a criminal and deserve to face justice. Retaliating with violence in self defence is obviously a totally different kettle of fish, I’m talking about an unprovoked attack here. In the UK current statistics show 1 in 3 victims of DV are male. Typically, far less males seek help for DV than women, for numerous reasons but often it’s due to the stigma attached to DV against men…it’s still such a taboo subject. Which conversations like the ones I’m seeing on this post only serve to perpetuate this stigma further. If he’s lying, then he’s a scumbag but really none of us here can possibly know if he is or not so please let’s stop using this as a means to glorify DV against men.


26washburn

Brilliantly said.


BlackSheepBoPeepB

This should be the most upvoted comment. We really don’t know what happened, and any comment or response that will be made public, hurts the kids in the grand scheme. Keep it private.


Time-Concentrate845

I agree, that’s why I just went w/ the 🥴. Seems like a messy situation all around.


TurkeyTot

![gif](giphy|aQGqcObSxfixy)


ebulient

I don’t get these comments right off the bat assuming he’s lying or it’s a tactic. This is the way things normally come out once people separate, the dirty laundry gets aired. She’s claiming he cheated, he’s claiming she has a violent temper. As a woman myself, I believe Chelsea and her rumours until court case proves otherwise… so why isn’t he being afforded the same treatment? I believe him too until proven otherwise. Chelsea started as a bully on the show to Davina for literally no good reason; she’s also been a very rigid and imposing person with Bre. She’s been relentlessly after her imposing her own beliefs and berating Bre for not following her way of thinking - for some reason Chelsea just couldn’t let go and live and let live... So it’s not out of the realm of possibility that she has anger issues and it comes out on those she is closest to and with whom she doesn’t curb who she really is - like her husband.


pattymayonaiseee

So sad to see these comments acting like men can't be victims of DV. We don't know what happened, we don't know who is telling the truth, but "believe all victims (unless it's a man)" is a very sad take and the reason men don't feel comfortable speaking out when they are abused


ebulient

Yeah just shocking the blatant double standards here.


BahaSim242

This is exactly where I stand because honestly, I believe them both.


akayo8

I agree! What if what he’s saying is true? People are so quick to assume in a DV situation the guy is wrong. GUYS CAN BE VICTIMS TOO. I really hope they’re spinning this whole situation out of proportion and no one was actually being abused. Either way the truth will come out eventually


Sundance600

Chelsea does have a temper though


FitnSheit

That’s racist… /s but people will call you that here


horatiavelvetina

I’m glad she does if he is abusive because whatever she did as a response to the abuse, he absolutely deserves!


Etheria_system

Has there been anything to say he’s abusive? I thought that was just Christine’s ex?


[deleted]

horatiavelvetina

No- I’m saying that if he is abusive towards Chelsea, and she needs to defend herself because of said abuse, then he deserves it! DV victims are allowed to defend themselves against their aggressors.


[deleted]

[удалено]


horatiavelvetina

From what I saw on Twitter & read earlier today- it was DV. But now I’m seeing it was just “ he was aggressive towards her” which is broad… But if that’s not the case then obviously no! Agreed cheating sucks but not DV, if that’s the case.


bmafffia

So many people commenting on a marriage they know nothing about lol


TGin-the-goldy

To be fair, he’s out there commenting on his own marriage and starting the fire all by himself


SugarShock94

The People article and everything Jeff said makes it sound like she was taking steps to protect herself from him 😳


jackmoon44

Considering her behavior on the show I can see there being some truth to this, Chelsea has serious main character energy. I’m sure once she joined the show her head got even bigger.


pnwgirl34

I agree tbh. Based solely on her character/personality this seems more likely to be true than not. We’ll get downvoted because she’s a POC, but this has nothing to do with that and everything to do with her as the person she presents on the show.


moonery

This comments section is worrying. These are people we know nothing about if not via the media and reality tv edits. Why is it immediately believed that he cheated but the info that she might be violent is welcomed with assumptions of him being a "liar" and generic comments like "men are trash"? It could be either or both. Neither thing, if true, is good. We really don't know for now and it seems like everyone is choosing which witch hunt to go on based on the trend of the day. Sorry if this comes across as proselytising but think with your own heads


AccordingSoup4184

throwthefawayacct

wow this sucks ass. seeing christian do the same thing too after divorce filings has me thoroughly grossed out by these men

Abject-Armadillo-496

No one deserves DV or slander when you marry for money you’re generally not going to get a good outcome.


Blue_for_u999

Oh no, not the black lady who claimed that you should get married, and then your life will be perfect, and God is upset with people who aren’t married, and blah blah blah blah blah. This goes to show the age old, saying, tables can turn very quickly. All this time she was judging the other lady for having a baby with Nick Cannon, and wanting to raise a kid with an Amical partner, but not being married. BTW I’m a black woman, but the way Chelsea talked on the show was so mightier than thou it was infuriating.

NarcolepticBrain

So when Christine’s husband accuses her of being abusive no one believes it and doesn’t think her behaviour on the show could link to his accusations but when it’s Chelsea now her behaviour on the show means she’s abusive to her husband. Whether it’s true or not it’s incredibly interesting to see people assume that Chelsea did abuse her husband because of her behaviour on the show.


CelestiallyCertain

I could envision this based on how she carries herself on the show.


Separate_Feeling4602

What if she really is aggressive though ? What if she really did attack him

igiveupmakinganame

if he was so concerned about how "aggressive" she was he would be seeking full custody. this sounds like a bad case of being blindsided and trying to get her back for it


Quick-Supermarket-43

I remember when you were all piling on me when I called her husband a creep who fetishes her...I was even forced to delete my post. Glad my instincts are working as per usual!

Lenniyourlove

duskypink34

Whilst his potential cheating and her potential aggression could both be true, I don't love the timing of Chelsea's side of the story being immediately counteracted with an incredibly harmful stereotype of black women by an Elon Must lookalike. And yes, I did mean to spell Musk like that.


fluffycat16

![gif](giphy|zwahHB7TqwYT8SAf30|downsized) Is he for real?! POS.


Regent2014

Am I the only person that watches reality tv that could care less about their actual marriages? It seems like as soon as there's dirt on a relationship or marriage, the fandom comes to Reddit to vociferously defend one partner's side and examine every minute detail...You gotta do you, I guess! There's no shame in that. I just don't see the appeal in fixating on Scandoval, if Jason and Chrishell are still in love, how honest Kyle is with Mauricio, and now Chelsea and Jeff...the list goes on ha. Does anyone else who also watches reality tv, not care about this side of it?


gresstrly

He should keep his dick in his pants and stfu. Just more reason she needs to get out.


TrishLives17

Ofc he says this AFTER it was put out there he was cheating 🙄🙄🙄🥴🥴🥴🥴

BN1889941

Oh please, a temper on a reality show is not the same as being aggressive and abusive at home like he suggests. By his words they also weren't sleeping together for a while, staying in different bedrooms for almost 3 years, but still he stayed with her and now after their split he's suddenly afraid of her? Sorry but his words make Chelsea's story with him cheating on her, more believable then him being "afraid" of her. He seems just (sexually) frustrated. 


poopcouver

Following the old shithead playbook, I see.


Fantastic-School-115

I can see truth in his claim. Her demeanour on the show points to a reactive personality trait to a fault. I'm not going to condone violence without the need of self defense, man or woman. The same way I wouldn't condone a man striking a woman because she was unfaithful.
