Jason Korpi missed a court date last month, resulting in a warrant for his arrest.
Starcasm reported that the Unexpected star was set for an arraignment on May 3rd, but failed to appear before the judge. It was related to his DUI arrest from February 26th.
There was an active warrant for Jason’s arrest for two weeks before a Notice of Cleared Default was posted on May 19th. It is unclear if the warrant was dropped because the 19-year-old contacted the court or if he was arrested. However, it is likely that we would have heard about the latter.
His arraignment has been rescheduled for June 28th. Hopefully he shows up this time!
The news comes after a drama-filled season on TLC with Kylen Smith.
Fans are shocked that Kylen and Jason remain together.
Jason is currently facing four misdemeanor charges and seven violations. He has been arrested twice in the past.
Kylen has claimed multiple times on social media that Jason is a good father to their baby, and treats her well. She admitted that they are very much in love and she knows the real him.
“I didn’t say it was gonna be easy, I said it would be worth it,” she professed in an Instagram caption.
According to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, Unexpected fans have started a petition to get Jason off the show. On the May 8 episode, he verbally abused Kylen while she was in labor.
“What did you think, it was gonna be easy as **** to have a kid,” he told his teen girlfriend during the episode.
“Why is TLC okay with showing this abusive relationship? It’s hard for me to watch knowing that he is getting paid for this,” the change.org petition that was started last month read.
“Jason is an abuser,” one person wrote in the petition’s comments. “TLC is allowing a victim of domestic abuse to be filmed and doing nothing about it.”
Kylen and Jason opted to have a natural birth. Jason felt he wouldn’t be able to be as close to Kylen if she gave birth in a hospital, which is something that already rubbed fans the wrong way. While Kylen was in labor, Jason refused to take her to a hospital after the birthing center midwife said it was necessary due to Kylen’s vitals. Jason was angry, saying that everything “sucked” and that no one cared about what he had to say.
When they finally got to the hospital, the staff recommended that Kylen get an epidural, which was not a part of the couple’s birthing plan. Kylen wanted the epidural but was afraid that it would upset Jason, who was already calling her a drug addict for wanted pain management.
Kylen ultimately agreed to get the epidural, which caused Jason to start yelling at her. The nurses and doctors eventually decided to remove Jason from the hospital altogether since he was causing unnecessary stress for Kylen.
There have been further allegations against her baby daddy. In a now-deleted video, TikToker @jessie_nails claims that an insider DM’d her on Instagram, claiming to be related to Kylen.
