Jovi has been getting a lot of hate lately but I’m not sure that he deserves it. Of course right from the start they seemed to be the most normal couple on Last Resort so we wonder why they were there. Then there was a lot of drama that may or may not be scripted. Is he addicted to strip clubs? Maybe. He certainly enjoys it and if he was single and it isn’t leading to him being in debt I think it’s fine. It would be no different from spending lots of time gaming or playing poker. But of course he is married with a kid and Yara doesn’t like it so the expectation is that the strip club activity would at least be scaled back. But people have different reactions to their man going to strip clubs. I would say most don’t have a blanket ban and would allow their husband to say go to a strip club for a bachelor’s party but perhaps not be allowed to have a lap dance. Then there’s the drinking. Is he an alcoholic? I don’t know. But if he is, he’s certainly a high functioning one.

Of course there are things to criticize. He should discuss career opportunities with his wife and not lie about going to a strip club. He’s like a kid trouble to get out of trouble. He also shouldn’t be texting his stripper friend to come out knowing his wife would be upset. Again, don’t know if it was scripted but let’s assume that it’s not.

But all the comments about him being the worse or that he’s some kind of monster makes no sense to me. From what we know… Has he physically cheated like Asuelu? No. Does he become physically abusive when he drinks? No. Committed SA? No. Did he inflate or lie about his finances? No. An absolutely terrible father? No. Is he verbally abusive to Yara? No. If his main sins are sneaking off to strip clubs, not consulting his wife before turning down a job offer, and drinking too much… that doesn’t sound that bad to me. It’s not like Yara is a wallflower and their relationship doesn’t seem “toxic” to me.

In real life, I would have no issues with Jovi. He seems like a normal decent guy to me and his marital problems aren’t anything unsual. I wouldn’t stop being friends with him because of how he treats his wife. Ed, to me is the worst. If he had an issue with Jovi texting his stripper friend he should have said something to Jovi rather than purposely bring it up in front of Yara.

    Oh man I don’t know where to begin. Just because he didn’t physically cheat doesn’t make up for his actions. Maybe you’re ok with your man hitting up and lovvvving strippers - but personally, I would understand the anger and I thing the average woman would too. And on TOP of all that Yara has been very open about growing up with physical insecurities. The fact that she is BANGING - is it’s a added blow.

    God just the bar you set though, has he physically cheated? Does he beat her? I get you’re trying to say he’s not the worst in the group but the lack of basic empathy towards woman as a whole is where you lost me.

    He is not a he obvious cheating, reality tv husband. He is the realistic, gaslighting, heartbreaking husband that I wish upon no one.

      Oh I understand the anger and I wouldn’t be okay if I was married to Jovi and going to strip clubs all the time but if you remove the stigma going to strip clubs doesn’t mean he doesn’t respect women. But we don’t know if he has dialed it back since getting married. Regardless, the point is that it doesn’t make him a monster. Going to strip clubs is clearly something that Jovi has enjoyed since he was a child. For whatever reason he never got tired of it. I would understand if they got divorced over Jovi continues to go to strip clubs.

        Ok let’s say we don’t say strip clubs don’t have a stigma. I agree! Let those women GET IT. But I don’t want my person to have to look at other 🐱. Fuck the stigma, if your partner or loved one feels disrespected by you enjoying other women’s VERY INTIMATE PARTS, that’s valid. Not a stigma.

      What’s with the BANGING? So, if she were ugly, it would be less of an issue? That’s seems kinda weird. So, ugly girl feel less pain cause they ugly and should accept it? Doesn’t make sense.

        Oh come now. No I obviously goes for stereotypical society standards of hot (nothing wrong with that). According to what he goes for (he’s shallow Af) then Yara has put in all the efforts to meet those shallow standards. What else can this girl do?

        Just because I praise one woman’s looks doesn’t mean I’m automatically putting down any woman who doesn’t look like her. I can’t believe I have to explain that.

        I think maybe they meant that Yara is putting more effort into her appearance upkeep than they think ugly folks do 😬 and she can’t do anything further to be attractive for Jovi? But I agree it doesn’t make sense because nobody could argue that Yara herself couldn’t be a stripper. If she weren’t “banging” (or just of a different body type than the strippers Jovi is into) she’d have even more of a reason to be insecure.
