After nearly three years of marriage, Farley filed for divorce from Mathews on Sept. 12, according to New Jersey’sAsbury Park Press.

Last week, Farley accused Mathews of physical and emotional abuse in a lengthy statement shared on herpersonal website.

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.
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.” (Greysonhas autism, Farley revealed in November 2018.)
One day later,Mathews denied Farley’s claimsin an Instagram video.

Mathews said 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,” he said. “We’ve proven Jenni and her attorneys to be liars in the past and we will do it again. 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 anexclusive statement to PEOPLE, Farley explained why she decided tospeak out againsther estranged husband amid their ongoingdivorce.
“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.”
