From Finding Love at the Shore to Alleged Abuse: JWoww and Roger Mathews’ Relationship Timeline After nearly three years of marriage, Farley filed for divorce from Mathews on Sept. 12, according to New Jersey’s Asbury Park Press. “The Plaintiff and the Defendant have irreconcilable differences which have caused the breakdown of the marriage for a period of at least six months which make it appear that the marriage should be dissolved and that there is no prospect of reconciliation,” Farley’s complaint stated. MTV Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley and Roger Mathews with daughter Meilani and son Greyson Farley and Mathew tied the knot in October 2015 after nearly five years together in front of a guests including her Jersey Shore castmates Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Pauly D, and Bachelorette alums Trista and Ryan Sutter.

Denise Truscello/Getty Last week, Farley accused Mathews of physical and emotional abuse in a lengthy statement shared on her personal website. The reality star also released footage that allegedly showed Mathews attacking her. In the clip, a man, who appears to be Mathews, can be seen shoving a woman, presumably Farley, to the ground in the kitchen of a home. Farley also alleged in her statement that Mathews’ social media posts “are consumed with inaccuracies, false statements, self-serving comments, outright misrepresentations and blatant lies.” She accused Mathews of neglecting their children on multiple occasions, recalling an incident where he allegedly didn’t let a therapist into the house for Greyson’s scheduled appointment “even though she stood there knocking and ringing the bell for 30 minutes in the freezing cold.” (Greyson has autism, Farley revealed in November 2018.)

There is a deep-rooted history of this — playing the victim. This is just the early stages of this and I know we have the proponents of truth on our side.” In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, Farley explained why she decided to speak out against her estranged husband amid their ongoing divorce. “In light of the recent accusations, I would like to clarify one point: I did not post the message to Roger to cause him any upset,” she said. “My intention was to protect our children and to liberate myself from all of the pain I had endured for so many years, to finally be free from the abuse and now look into the future more positively for the sake of the kids.”
