ANNOUNCER: From private investigators to marriage scams
and bilingual confrontations, we're
counting down the biggest moments from season
one of "The Family Chantel."
[MUSIC PLAYING]
KAREN: That's crazy, Pedro.
I am so, so furious.
For Pedro to drop that bombshell in family counseling
feels like such a betrayal.
I'm just confused.
Like, I had no idea.
It's taking everything out of me to not get up and leave
this room, but I don't want for my family to see me
and Pedro argue.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
MAN: OK, OK.
We've known for a long time that Pedro has had ulterior
motives for marrying Chantel.
But now we know that it's all true.
[KNOCKING]
[DOOR OPENS]
Oh, hi, Jah.
Jahjie, do you mind--
What are you doing here?
Mommy has some things that she wants to tell Jah.
I found out, Jah, and I know Winter doesn't know.
And I'm very sorry to break the news to you,
but I know you have a son.
And I wish you had told Winter about your son,
like, a long time ago, like maybe six years ago.
Like, I don't understand what's going on.
You say that Jah has a--
KAREN: Jah, do you hear what I'm saying?
JAH: No, this is crazy.
CHANTEL: What do you mean?
Yeah, it is crazy.
What's crazy is you had a son of nine years of age.
And you've been dating my sister for six years,
and she doesn't know anything about it.
KAREN: But now she knows.
Now it's all out on the table.
CHANTEL: That's what's crazy.
JAH: I'm flabbergasted.
I can't-- I can't believe this.
CHANTEL: I am flabbergasted.
How come you didn't tell Winter?
Were you embarrassed?
Were you scared?
If someone jumps on top of my children, I will protect them.
And in America, it's legal.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
PEDRO: --in the problem that night.
Yeah.
My mom say that--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Excuse me.
PEDRO: Excuse me.
Let me-- let me--
[MUSIC PLAYING]
It was brought to my attention that you
and Nicole were looking for a American woman for Pedro
to marry.
You should know the whole history, you know?
It was a setup.
They arranged Pedro to meet you and you
to fall in love with him.
Who?
So-- his family.
PRODUCER: Is it true?
Mama.
Don't you want it?
No, you can have it for now.
OK, so when this situation first came about,
my son went in the computer room.
And he did some research.
And he showed me the website.
It was a website that would help to find a person.
And they wanted to go to America and live there.
When I looked at the names on the website, it was your name.
And it seemed like a scam that almost
parallels human trafficking.
Wow, OK, let's see.
Oh, my god.
[CHUCKLES]
It wasn't funny.
It was very frightening.
The last thing I want to do is to make a scene
in this restaurant or anywhere.
But these two ladies are pretending and lying
because it was an initiative to find an American woman to get
him over to the United States so that Lidia and her daughter
can take advantage of the American economy
through their son, and most of all through an American woman.
They want to keep using Chantel to come to America.
I know that this is true.
Oh, OK.
Chantel.
Oh, shave your mustache, baby.
PEDRO: Oh, hey.
OK, OK, OK, OK.
