Roger Mathewsis speaking out against his estranged wifeJenni “JWoww” Farleyafter theJersey Shorestarreleased a statementaccusing Mathews, 43, of physical and emotional abuse.
In avideoshared on Instagram Thursday, Mathews said, “I sit here humbly before you today a pretty heartbroken man in light of recent circumstances and things that were said about me in a long rambling rant that was highly erroneous and had many lies in it.”
Mathews went on to explain that while his lawyers prepared a statement for him, he instead decided to “shoot from the hip.”
“We’re going to address this in court, which is the proper place to address this where it should be.
“We’ve proven Jenni and her attorneys to be liars in the past and we will do it again,” Mathews alleged in the clip. “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.”
“My concern is my children and I will not stop until I have my children,” he said.
Along with the clip, Mathews included legal documents, which combat Farley’s claims.
“Ms. Farley uploaded what can only be described as fictitious and defamatory account of alleged unilateral, abusive conduct that creates a false narrative to provoke and incite her personal followers,” the document read.
A representative for Farley was not able to comment on Mathews accusations.
