Former Teen Mom star Bar Smith is now claiming that he was a “victim” of his ex-wife, Ashley Jones. This revelation came after he had spent eight months behind bars for the kidnapping of Ashley. So, what is Bar stating now? Keep reading for more details.

Bar Smith Claims He Was A ‘Victim’ Of Ashley Jones

For quite some time, Teen Mom alum Bar Smith has found himself in hot water. He was accused of being unfaithful to his then-wife and co-star, Ashley Jones. She came out publicly and declared their relationship over because of his infidelity. He had also caused drama on special occasions by pulling out guns and such. Ashley could be seen telling their daughter, Holly, that they would be on their own soon. She knew that Bar had to go and was ready to be a single parent. Then, she began dating someone else, which Bar did not care for. He then showed up at her apartment unannounced, and the police had to be called.

Bar allegedly threatened hurt, and it turned into a kidnapping situation. He was sent to jail for eight months and was recently released. However, he is now maintaining that he was actually his ex-wife’s victim. This seems completely unfounded after what he put her through. After their divorce was finalized, Ashley was granted sole and physical custody of Holly. Bar was ordered to pay $100 per month, but he claims his marriage was not great. He stated that he was “happy” to be divorced from Ashley, plus he shared that he was never notified about their hearing:

“ … [Ashley] asked for an address [to] send papers to then told me yesterday she went to a hearing, claimed that I was notified in jail many months ago, but that’s the same court date you see her miss … “

The scorned Teen Mom star also shared his views on his marriage, stating he had been a “victim,” as well:

“ … Once my other phone comes back I’ll be able [to] prove how many times I was victim as well, we will be going back [to] court for this as well.”

Did Ashley Care?

Bar Smith also alleged that Ashley Jones did not want to go through with getting divorced despite how it looked on Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. She seemed very gung-ho but Bar is disputing that was how she truly felt. After viewers saw the outcome of the divorce and custody hearing, they had no sympathy for Bar:

• I wasn’t a fan of Ashley before but I like her now 😂🙌
• I can’t wait for Bar or his mom to come here and make excuses about why he wasn’t there, how he was framed but he’s innocent, etc 😂
• Good. Ashley has been the stable parent for a while.
• Wishing her the absolute best. This manchild was holding her back big timex

It was also repeatedly noted that $100 per month in child support was nothing. Fans had no idea how the Teen Mom star could support Holly on that. Yet, they hoped Ashley would stay away from Bar and not go backward.
