Last Thursday, TMZ was first to report that Jordan had filed for divorce after five years of marriage. "This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart. I’m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons," he said in a statement to the outlet. "While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition. I am committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect."

In a new interview of Call Her Daddy, filmed the day after Jordan filed, Jessi claimed that she broke up with Jordan on March 13th and that they initially decided to file together. "He blindsided me and filed because he wanted the headline first," she claimed, elsewhere noting that they had not yet told their children.

Jessi further said that Jordan put infidelity as the cause of their divorce, referring to her kisses with Marciano, rather than irreconcilable differences, as they'd agreed. She then dropped a big allegation: That Jordan had been involved with an escort service while they were married.

Jessi alleged that she was sent "proof" that he had spoken to an escort service and gotten a hotel room shortly before they filmed Season 1. She further stated that she found out about it two weeks before the Marciano incident. "I do think that influenced my decision. Not that it was okay, but I protected Jordan when that all came out," she claimed, noting that she chose to put her "head in the sand" and believe Jordan, who denied that such a thing ever happened.

The JZ Styles owner also said that she'd heard a rumor that Jordan attended sex parties and paid for "orgies," though she hadn't been sent any "proof." She said that she spoke to Mayci and Mikayla about it, and claimed of their response, "They were like, 'He's disgusting.' To be fair, everyone in my life, friends, family, employees, everyone hates him. When I got divorced, everyone I told so far [has] been like, 'Congratulations.'"

Since their split, Jessi claimed that she has stayed in a hotel while Jordan has stayed in their house. "He was like, 'Well, you can stay in the spare bedroom of the house' [that] I paid for," she claimed, further alleging that he had previously kept her under surveillance in the house.
