10 Cast Members Who Shouldn’t Return To The Franchise

The 90 Day Fiancé franchise has had a long list of cast members who could do better by not returning to the show ever again, thanks to their long list of controversies. 90 Day Fiancé took off in 2014, and has been a hit among reality TV viewers who first started watching for its unique format of storytelling. The 90-day visa concept was informative and with time has become fairly dramatic, with couples who bring the most chaos to the screen being the most entertaining.

However, this talent that they have can sometimes go a bit too far, to the point of it getting repetitive and boring. Some 90 Day Fiancé cast members have disappointed fans so much that they could consider taking a break from TV and reflecting on their relationships instead of choosing to have pointless clashes with their partners on screen. These are some 90 Day Fiancé stars who viewers wish would end their association with the franchise.

10 Larissa Lima

Larissa Lima made her debut in 90 Day Fiancé season 6 with American partner, Colt Johnson. Larissa met Colt on a dating website, and he proposed to her after spending 11 days together in person. Colt and Larissa’s relationship was toxic, and Larissa ended up getting arrested three times for domestic violence. Larissa made a fool of herself on camera and after her divorce, and her storyline focused on wanting to transform herself. She spent a total of $70k on plastic surgery, while there was a threat of deportation looming over her. Larissa eventually got fired for allegedly not abiding by her contract, so her coming back to the franchise now looks impossible.

9 Ben Rathbun

Ben Rathburn was called a predator by viewers when he revealed he was a 52-year-old man wanting to make 24-year-old Mahogany Roca his wife. The former pastor had four kids already, and he was ready to marry Mahogany, who he’d never even seen on video call before. Ben was tricked by Mahogany, as she refused to meet him and then revealed she was actually 22, the same age as Ben’s eldest daughter. Ben was ridiculed for his desperation, and the criticism online finally made him delete his Instagram too. Mahogany is now engaged to Ben and has confirmed they will be returning, which isn’t a good idea at all.

8 Jasmine Pineda

Jasmine Pineda was loud, aggressive, and insecure when she was introduced as Gino Palazzolo’s Panamanian girlfriend. She was despised initially, but got sympathy from fans after she found out Gino had shared her nudes with an ex-girlfriend. Jasmine was always bold and honest in her approach and her “I’m vegan, but I want your freaking meat!” line made viewers laugh out loud. But in her comeback season, Jasmine has taken her sex talk a little too far. She discusses how Gino fails to please her by talking about toys she would use to woo him and mentioned undergoing surgery to get her hymen restored, which makes fans uncomfortable.

7 Pedro Jimeno

Pedro Jimeno was seen as someone who was more in love with the idea of getting a green card than with his wife, Chantel Everett. He proved his critics right when he decided to divorce Chantel as soon as his career in real estate took off in the U.S. Pedro was suspected of cheating on Chantel with a co-worker even though nothing has been proven yet. But Pedro posting about his fancy lifestyle and luxury cars on Instagram is frowned upon by those who don’t wish to see more of him on their TV screens if The Family Chantel returns for a season 5.

6 Natalie Mordovtseva

Like Pedro, Natalie Mordovtseva had no intention of staying together with Mike Youngquist after she settled in the U.S. Natalie was quick to separate from Mike while keeping him hanging by a thread when she was dating new men in Florida and trying to get a jump start in her modeling career. A professional actress, Natalie has some fans convinced that her storylines are fake, including her relationship with Josh Weinstein, who allegedly already has a girlfriend. Natalie has also announced that she will be back for 90 Day: The Single Life season 4 and viewers expect this season to be the last time they get to see Natalie and her shenanigans.

5 Loren & Alexei Brovarnik

Loren and Alexei Brovarnik from 90 Day Fiancé season 3 are a fan-favorite couple. They’ve even been awarded Best Reality Romance at the MTV Movie & TV Awards in 2022. While Loren and Alexei became regulars on Pillow Talk after their regular 90 Day Fiancé stint ended, they were given their own spin-off in 2022 called Loren & Alexei: After the 90 Days. It chronicled their lives as new parents who are ready to bring home their little ones. By 2022, Loren and Alexei had already welcomed three babies, and while there was no mystery element left in this storyline, viewers also blamed it for being boring and dragged unnecessarily.

4 Usman “SojaBoy” Umar

Usman “SojaBoy” Umar was engaged to Lisa Hamme in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 4, which was his first reality TV stint. Usman and Lisa split before the show ended, and in the next season, Usman had a new American girlfriend the same age as Lisa named Kim Menzies. Usman wasn’t interested in a relationship with Kim, and they broke up after two seasons of pointless arguments. Lisa claimed Usman and Kim’s relationship was fake. This seemed to be the case, as there was no chemistry between the two. Usman has a new girlfriend now named Kiera, and it appears they don’t want to be a part of 90 Day Fiancé.

3 Kim Menzies

Kim was a desperate fangirl seeking love from Nigerian “superstar” Usman AKA Sojaboy, who treated her badly by rejecting her advances. Kim finally managed to convince Usman to be her boyfriend by showering him with expensive gadgets. The relationship quickly fizzled out before Kim brought Usman to the U.S. on a K-1 visa, but they promised to stay good friends. Kim has been throwing hints at a return to the franchise on 90 Day: The Single Life, but viewers would agree she’s better off as a Pillow Talk commentator with her son, Jamal Menzies.

2 Molly Hopkins

Molly Hopkins was married to Luis Mendes on 90 Day Fiancé season 5, but their romance was short-lived and headed for divorce quickly. Molly, however, returned on Pillow Talk, where she provided couch commentary with her best friend Cynthia Decker. Molly later dated Kelly Brown from New York, and he replaced Cynthia in the Pillow Talk episodes. Cynthia revealed she was no longer friends with Molly and around the same time, Molly’s daughter Olivia claimed Kelly had allegedly choked her. Molly is being shamed by fans for losing out on her best friend and boyfriend, while she continues to get called out for promoting an MLM scheme on IG.

1 Big Ed Brown

Perhaps the most talked about 90 Day Fiancé cast member so far is Big Ed Brown, not because of his popularity but for his on-screen behavior where he degrades his partners continuously. Big Ed was disliked for his toxic attitude towards Rose Vega and for treating Liz Woods poorly. He has been deemed a hypocrite for asking Liz to lose weight, and his cringe-worthy Instagram posts make him look like a clout chaser who joined the franchise for fame and attention. Another season of 90 Day Fiancé might give Big Ed what he wants, but will also bring more hate his way from disgruntled viewers.
