JWoww Of 'Jersey Shore' Shares Video of Husband's Alleged Abuse
Viewer discretion advised: The "Jersey Shore" star has posted videos that she alleges show her husband's abusive behavior. He has responded.

Now there are videos that were released by "JWoww" of the "Jersey Shore" that, she alleges, prove that she's been abused by her estranged husband (see below – viewer discretion advised).
The videos appear to show her husband, Roger Mathews, throwing Jenni “JWoww” Farley, 32, to the ground. The videos come one month after police say they were called to the Toms River home of Farley, 32, because of a "civil matter" between the "Jersey Shore" star and Matthews.
Farley said she felt the need to expose Mathews's alleged behavior because "I have spent the last few months trying to protect our children from public humiliation, because as parents, we are supposed to protect them."

In a statement on her website titled, "A Message to Roger," Farley accused Mathews of choking her and throwing her down to the floor in the kitchen.
"I can’t recall why you assaulted me on that occasion – just another day in the Farley-Mathew’s home," she wrote.

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

Mathews has offered a response.
The videos are part of the latest chapter in the couple's dispute that began four months ago when Farley filed for divorce from Mathews. Mathews revealed the divorce on Instagram.
The divorce complaint was filed on Sept. 12 in Superior Court in Ocean County, according to The Asbury Park Press, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple have two children, The Press said.
On Dec. 14, police were called to the Toms River home because of a "civil matter" that happened at approximately 1 a.m. Afterward, Mathews was served with a temporary restraining order and provided transportation to another location, police said.
The disagreements then continued on social media where Matthews acknowledged that the two fought in front of their children.
In an Instagram video, Mathews took issue with Farley's claims on social media that, he believes, suggested he put their children in harm's way. He said Farley started the dispute by wanting to go to work and not take care of their children.
"I am not the violent one," he said, "and I do not want to have to prove that."
On Instagram, a statement from Farley said: "Certain events transpired last night which led Jenni to involve the authorities, and the best interests of her children, to do so."
In September, Mathews, in his statement on Instagram, said he didn't blame his wife for the divorce.
"There's no cheating or any dumb s--t or any juicy details," he said. "She just grew tired of the repetitive pattern that we fell into. Again, I am not going to get into detail but it was a repetitive pattern and not a good one."
Mathews vowed to win his wife back. "I'm going to win her affection back. I'm going to win her love back," he said. "I have no intention of being a single dad. We're in counseling, so there is hope. It ain't over till the fat lady sings."
Farley's public relationship with Mathews was marked by playful insults documented for the cameras before the show headed to Miami, according to nj.com.

Here are their statements after the divorce was filed:
View this post on InstagramThis will be the hardest road I ever traveled no doubt for years to come but I will fight for my children and I have the truth on my side. All I wanted was to stay together as a family and work on our issues and fight the good fight for greater good. I tried. I left everything I had on the table. Everything. In the end I must respect that’s not what the other side wanted but to use children as pawns is about the most disposable act a person can possibly do. This was never my wish nor my intent. My heart breaks for my children.
