Earlier this month, we learned that Javi Marroquin will soon be deployed for a second tour of duty with the United States Air Force.
Now, however, a prominent member of the Teen Mom 2 family is suggesting that Marroquin is being less than honest and playing up the possibility of deployment as a means of garnering attention and sympathy.
Javi is currently dating Briana DeJesus, and it seems Bri’s cantankerous mother, Roxanne, is not a supporter of the relationship.
According to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, Roxanne recently implied that Javi is lying about shipping out on another tour of duty.
“How many times can you say ‘I’m being deployed’ and not get deployed,” she wrote in a since-deleted tweet.
“Stop using deployment as a tool for sympathy. But it’s a good storyline… GTFOH.”
The idea of Javi misleading fans in such a brazen fashion may sound absurd, but this isn’t the first time he’s been accused of being less than honest with regard to his service.
This also isn’t the first indication that Javi is strongly disliked by his girlfriend’s family:
In the clip above, Briana’s sister, Brittany DeJesus, makes her feelings about Javi quite clear.
At one point, Brittany refers to Marroquin as her sister’s “raggedy-ass” boyfriend.
When asked by a follower if likes Javi, Brittany replies, “Is that a joke?”
The clip was posted shortly after Brittany unfollowed Javi on Instagram.
Brittany and Briana both have yet to comment on their mother’s accusations, but TM2 fans are abuzz, many of them wondering why Javi would be dishonest about his deployment.
As several have pointed out, Marroquin has a history of lying in order to raise his public profile.
In fact, Kailyn Lowry says her relationship with Javi began under false pretenses.
It seems that when they met at a Delaware mall several years ago, Javi pretended not to know who Kailyn was, despite the fact that she’d already gained a modicum of fame as an MTV reality star.
Kail says it wasn’t until several years later that she realized Javi had misled her.
She now believes he married her in large part for the notoriety that he knew would come with the relationship.
Javi has yet to comment on those accusations, but needless to say, if they’re accurate, then it seems he’s not the kind of guy to be held back by his scruples, and Roxanne’s allegations become all the more plausible.
