Roger Mathews has responded to estranged wife Jenni “JWoww” Farley‘s videos that appeared to show him allegedly abusing her.
In a video posted to his Instagram page, Mathews said that he was “truly sad” that divorce proceedings with his wife of three years have broken down.
“I sit here humbly before you today a pretty heartbroken man in light of recent circumstances,” Mathews said in the video. “Things that were said about me in a long rambling rant … that was highly erroneous and had many lies in it.”
Mathews, 43, decided to speak off the cuff instead of issue a formal statement by his lawyers and told fans he and the “Jersey Shore” star would handle their legal issues in front of a judge.
“I had a speech prepared for me by my attorneys that I was going to read, and I decided not to read it and just shoot from the hip,” he explained. “We’re going to address this in court which is the proper place to address it. We’ve proven Jenni and her attorneys to be liars in the past and we will do it again … I know that we have the preponderance of truth on our side. I know that there’s a deep-rooted history of this, playing the victim.”
He added, “My concern is my children and I will not stop until I have my children.”
Mathews also included pictures of legal documents that criticize JWoww’s open letter and videos.
A rep for JWoww didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
JWoww penned an open letter on her website that detailed the many ways in which Mathews allegedly abused her. She claimed he threw her to the ground and hit her, and he allegedly contacted her abusive ex-boyfriends in order to terrorize her. She also claimed he had an affair with another woman right after she gave birth to their autistic son, Greyson. They also have a daughter named Meilani.
At the end of the letter, JWoww posted several videos of her and Mathews that appear to show the incident JWoww discussed in the letter in which Mathews allegedly hit her. In another, Mathews recorded a video of himself bragging about the alleged affair. There is also footage of JWoww throwing an object at Mathews while he held their son.
