A hot new bombshell has entered the jailhouse. Hannah Smith from Love Island USA Season 6 just spent the night behind bars after allegedly threatening to kill a cop. So, not only did she fail at finding love on reality TV, but now she has two felonies to her name after being arrested.

The Sun got the scoop on Hannah’s arrest, including a copy of her glossy-eyed mugshot. The drama went down on September 30 in Atlanta, Georgia at the Coca-Cola Roxy. A little digging shows that Gracie Abrams played a show there that night. Perhaps all of those sappy breakup jams hit Hannah a little too close to home?
According to the police documents, the concert staff escorted Hannah away for being “disorderly.” A cop tried to take her to an Uber, and that’s when she allegedly tried to punch him, closed fist and all! Big mistake.
Unsurprisingly, putting the Love Island alum in handcuffs just made her more angry. The arrest records said she continued trying to kick the officer, and she supposedly started ranting to herself as if she were hosting a podcast. Once they finally got her into the cop car, that’s when the threats started.
“Smith, while on the ground sitting, attempted to kick me multiple times but again did not make contact. While transporting Smith to Cobb ADC she stated ‘I am going to kill you and your sister,'” the report said.
Thanks to her behavior at the Gracie Abrams concert, the police charged Hannah with making terroristic threats and willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer. Both of those are felonies, but she wound up getting released on bail the next day. Luckily for the city of Atlanta, staying sober is one of the conditions of her release.

Well, we’re back, with the recap for Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5, Episode 1. Last season saw Gary, Colin, and Daisy in a doomed love triangle, which blew up at the end of the season. What will Gary and Daisy’s working relationship be like following all that drama, especially now that Colin is gone? Here’s exactly what went down in the BDSY Season 5 Premiere: “Ibiza, Baby!”
What happened in Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5, Episode 1?

In this week’s episode, Gary and Daisy’s relationship is still tense, following the events of last season. Daisy attempts to foster a team relationship with her stews, while Gary vows to show that he can be a good leader. Daisy allows the first charter guests to place specific dinner orders, which causes chaos in the galley. Here are some of the highlights from the BDSY Season 5 Premiere.

Gary’s turning over a new leaf this season … or so he says. He wants to work on his leadership skills. His new motto is, “Gary is ‘work hard and work harder.’”
Daisy says she’s over Gary. Last season he made her life very hard. He didn’t respect her relationship with Colin. She’s not looking forward to having to work with him again.
Captain Glenn meets with his new crew and lays down some guidelines about behavior. Daisy’s still harboring some resentment from last season. Gary was a distraction. This season, she’s not going to let that happen to her again. Daisy’s “taking back the reigns.”
After giving her new stews a tour of the boat, Daisy says she’s not going to assign a second and third stew, preferring more of a “team environment.” That’s a great idea. That system would have saved Aesha a lot of headaches on Below Deck Med Season 9.
Junior Stew Diana (pronounced “Dee-ahnna”) is from Portugal, but she has a lot of experience on Russian superyachts. Many of them were seized by US authorities as punishment for the war on Ukraine. Diana was there and says, “[I] cannot say much about it, but, you know, I’ve met the FBI.”
For her part, Junior Stew Danni is already flirting with the boys on the boat. She thinks Keith and Gary are both cute. Stay away from Gary, Danni. He’s trouble.

Daisy’s still angry with Gary for ignoring her after she and Colin broke up. She was alone and lonely. “I needed you,” she says. “I’m f*cking upset that you ignored me when I was asking to speak to you … You just left me on my own, trying to figure it out.”
He says he wanted to speak to her but was afraid of creating more drama. Gary had to “take a step away just for some clarity.” But now he wonders if he wasn’t a good friend for abandoning her that way.
Finally, Gary gives her a hug and apologizes for not being there for her. Even though she appreciates his apology, she’s also aware that “this isn’t going to be the last time he hurts me.”
Daisy makes a major mistake with the guests’ dinner orders

The first charter guests arrive. Snacks and cocktails are the order of the day. Chef Cloyce is planning to do a Surf ‘n Turf dinner, but one of the guests doesn’t eat pork or beef, while another is allergic to shellfish. He says he can do red snapper for the one who’s allergic and asks Daisy to check with the other guest to see if chicken is okay. Thank goodness he’s keeping track of food allergies and preferences – take note, Chef Jono!
Unfortunately, when Daisy goes to ask the two guests their preferences, the other guests jump in and start making their own special requests. That goes against Cloyce’s previous instructions of avoiding “specific orders,” making his job harder.
“Whoops,” she interviews. “That was a f*ck-up.” Needless to say, Chef isn’t pleased. “Thanks, Daisy,” he says in a confessional. “That’s awesome.”
The first sail of the season on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5

Once everyone’s settled in, it’s time for the first sail of the season. Daisy instructs her stews to start stowing things away, so they won’t slide and break when the boat keels. Ugh. I hate this part.
As soon as the sails are up, Glenn turns off the engines. “We’re sailing now,” he announces. Gary spots a pod of dolphins off the port side.
Later, as they’re dropping the anchor, Gary realizes deckhand Emma doesn’t have as much experience as he previously thought. But he wants to be a captain someday, so he’s determined to train her and prove that he can be a good leader.
When Keith gives Danni a hand with table decoration, she can’t help flirting with him.
“I think Danni is hilarious,” Keith interviews. “She’s super vibrant, immediately attractive, but in a working environment, it’s good to take things slowly … You can joke, you can banter, but there’s lines that you really don’t want to cross.”
But Danni just wants him to treat her “like a [boat] fender … just pick me up and throw me around.”
Daisy gets off on the wrong foot with Chef Cloyce

The dinner for night one is planned for 8:30. Chef is busy preparing everyone’s special requests, but it’s a little confusing how many steaks, lobsters, snapper, and lamb he’s supposed to cook. Glenn is sitting at the table in the crew mess, just observing how it’s all going.
When Daisy starts serving the plates, there’s uncertainty about who ordered well done and who wanted medium. Part of the problem is that the medium steaks sat in the warmer and became well done while waiting for Chef to finish the fish.
“Daisy took a bunch of f*cking orders,” Cloyce interviews, “after [we had] a pretty specific conversation that we were not going to do this. I mean, come on. It’s not okay.”
Meanwhile, some of the guests have food, while others are still waiting. Not off to a good start.
“This whole f*cking thing is his fault,” Daisy says in a confessional. “I tell him what the food order is. It is up to you to cook it, to put it on the plate, and to send it out. It’s very chaotic.”
“If tonight is any indication of Cloyce and Daisy’s interdepartmental relationship,” Captain Glenn interviews, “what I’m seeing now has got me worried.”
“I guess I’m just an idiot,” Cloyce says in frustration.

It’s that time again. DANI just unleashed another round of chaos on the players of The Anonymous, and the game just got spicier than ever. The players are anxiously racing towards the finish line, but a few more people have to go up on the chopping block before they get there.
Last week, DANI caught everyone off guard by forcing the safe players into a last-minute game of face-off. No one is ever really safe in this game. By the end, Marcel, Bismah, Dillian, and Chris were all up for elimination with their fate determined by someone who has almost certainly been lying to their faces. Here’s how it all played out on The Anonymous Episode 10, “Refresh. Revamp. Restrategize.”
Bye-bye, Bismah

Last week, we saw Dillian go into “silent mode” after being nominated by a majority of the house. He refused to talk to anyone, but when he finally did, he dragged them all for being stale, dusty, and crusty. Those were his words, not ours.
While you have to appreciate his dedication to making entertaining TV, it seemed like the writing was on the wall for him to get the chop. However, fate was on his side. DANI announced that Bismah aka Eagle, had been selected for elimination. Another one bites the dust.
In a flashback, it’s revealed that Nina won the power of The Anonymous for a second time. She’s on a roll, and she explained the decision to cut Bismah. It was simple — out of everyone else up for elimination, Bismah was who she was the least close to. It’s business.
Back at the dial, Bismah shocked the group when she revealed her real-life job as a political lobbyist. It’s not every day that you meet one of those, but it makes sense why she navigated the game so slickly. This was probably nothing compared to Washington D.C.
Post-elimination finger-pointing

After DANI dismissed the players from the dial, they all went back to their fancy little house to decompress from Bismah’s elimination. The aftermath wasn’t quite as dramatic as when Jack got eliminated, but the paranoia was still high. Within minutes, they all started throwing out theories about who had the power this week, all while chowing down on pizza.
Andy and Christopher guessed that Lilly was behind the latest elimination. For some reason, they’ve convinced themselves that she’s a force to be reckoned with, so they’ve nicknamed her The Grim Reaper.
Elsewhere in the house, Nina was doing what she does best: planting seeds of confusion in everyone’s heads. For example, she told Lilly that perhaps Chris or Victoria were responsible for the elimination. She even suggested that Dillian might be the one with the power to eliminate, all while knowing damn well that she had blood on her hands.
“This isn’t the game of friends and ‘Let me save you,'” Nina explained in a confessional. “This is The Anonymous, and you need to let people dig their own graves.”
The next day, DANI gave them a new opportunity to do just that. Before kicking off their next challenge, she revealed that they would have their third and final handle refresh. That’s major.
An interior design nightmare

Before the handle refresh, DANI gave the players another chance to add more money to the pot this week. They need it. They’re barely even halfway to building up the $100,000 prize pot.
Fortunately for them, DANI’s latest puzzle didn’t involve any weird math equations, and they didn’t have to stack a tower of puzzle pieces. Instead, they were presented with a bunch of little knick-knacks, which looked straight out of a display table from IKEA. Both Andy and Dillian said the challenge made them feel like they were doing “interior design.” For that reason, we’re just going to call this one the interior design puzzle.
DANI explained the rules: she had a secret sequence that the puzzle pieces had to follow. As a collective, the players had multiple attempts to guess the sequence, and if they completed it, one player would win safety and they’d get $10,000 into the prize pot. It seemed doable, but then DANI added a twist because that’s her job.
“Every time a player matches a new object to its correct placement, they must choose a player to remove from the challenge,” she explained after the puzzle started.
Andy wound up being the first person to win that privilege. He matched three objects in their correct places and chose to block Dillian, Victoria, and Lilly. Then, the remaining players went right back to trying to piece together the sequence.
Somehow, the puzzle got more and more difficult as they progressed. It’s the opposite of how a puzzle like this should work. However, in their final attempt with seconds to go, Andy, Nina, and Chris miraculously cracked the code and landed $10,000 in their bank. DANI Confirmed that Nina won safety because she had the most correct placements.
So, not only did Nina win the power of The Anonymous this week, but she also won safety from elimination. It’s a good week to be Nina.
New handle, who’s this?

After banking all of that cash, DANI sent the players into Anonymous Mode to select their new handles. Clearly, this has the potential to be a major turning point in the game, but the players had mixed feelings. Some folks saw it as an exciting opportunity to restrategize, while others felt scared about undoing all of their progress. Plus, some folks were probably traumatized from the last handle refresh when DANI also brought in three new players. Thankfully, that didn’t happen this time. There’s already enough going on, right? Here’s a look at everyone’s new handles.
Dillian: Sushi
Andy: Banana
Lilly: Rainbow
Nina: Wolf
Christopher: Tea
Marcel: Crown
Victoria: Ghost
With their new handles activated, the players immediately dove into a messy chat session. Within seconds, they just started throwing names out into the ether. Should Dillian go home because of his drama, or perhaps they should eliminate Marcel because he’s so good at face-off, which could be the deciding factor for the grand prize?
Once the votes started rolling in, the nominations seemed to catch everyone by surprise because they didn’t match what they talked about in the chat. It ended up being Lilly, Chris, Andy, and Dillian up for elimination.
Chris and Victoria’s showmance gets real

This week, Christopher and Victoria’s relationship continued to dominate the storyline. We’ve been watching week after week the other players have attempted to target them, but it never pans out. Part of that is because Victoria has been secretly winning the power to eliminate.
Although it initially seemed as if like Victoria was just using Christopher as a convenient accessory to her strategy, she claimed this week that their romance is more than just strategy. Allegedly, she really likes him and isn’t just “using him.” From her mouth to God’s ear.
With that said, she also made it clear that she wouldn’t choose Chris over the money. If it comes down to the $100,000, she’s picking the cash. By the end of the episode, it seemed like that choice might be coming sooner than she thought.
As DANI revealed the results of the test, she showed that either Victoria or Christopher won the power of The Anonymous. If she wins a third time, Christopher’s fate in the game will be back in her hands. How romantic!
The Anonymous airs on USA Network on Monday nights at 10/9c.

The snub had everything to do with his appearance. But the highly-followed influencer claimed that the timing of that text hit when she was fighting with Jessel last season and that she and her co-star are on good terms. Pavit though, had a response.
Pavit referenced not having to “resort as low” as Sai De Silva did
“I have so many messages about my text messages that Brynn read on the show,” Sai responded to the episode via Instagram Story. Queens of Bravo shared a screen recording on their Instagram account. “I just want to give some context because there’s absolutely no context to that message.”
The RHONY star continued, “One: I was mad as hell, and when I’m mad I have a horrible mouth. It could be very lethal and I’ve been keeping it very PG around here, but I was fighting with Jessel last year. This message was last year. We all know, since then, me and Jessel have made up and moved on.”
All that being said, Jessel received those messages in the group chat last year. Sai apologized for the comparison but added she has “no idea why it was read” on RHONY.
“So everyone saw it, including Jessel,” Sai claimed. “It wasn’t like I was talking behind her back. I was talking to her face, but I have since apologized and me and Jessel are in a really good place. I love Jessel.”
Meanwhile, Pavit responded with an Instagram video of his “top 3 favorite cheap eats fish dishes” posted Friday, October 4.
“I don’t have to resort as low as some people do in calling others names but in honor of my kids’ favorite movie,Finding Nemo, join Dory and I as we explore three of my favorite fish dishes across New York City,” the food influencer introduced his video holding a figurine of the little blue fish in question.

Jen Shah was the center of the drama during her three seasons on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Her arrest in 2021 shocked fans, and her cast members. After pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection to telemarketing, she was given a 6.5-year prison sentence. As you may recall, the telemarketing scheme that Jen was involved with targeted the elderly. Even though Jen reported to Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, she is often mentioned on RHOSLC. And now it seems that Lisa Barlow may be changing her tune about Jen.
Will Lisa Barlow have a relationship with Jen Shah?
During Season 4, Heather Gay revealed that Jen allegedly caused her black eye. Of course, Jen chimed in from prison and denied that she injured Heather. At the time, Lisa felt that the entire cast was dealing with trauma from their experiences with Jen.
“Until you’ve experienced that or had Jen almost beat you up in a van or be mid-laugh and go to attack you, you don’t know what it’s like,” Lisa previously said. “And in a way, she gave every single one of us a black eye with her actions.”
Well, buckle up, because it sounds like Baby Gorgeous has softened her stance on Jen. Recently, Lisa was a guest on the podcast Scheananigans with Scheana Shay. “Do you stay in touch with any of your former castmates? Ever receive like any jail mail?” Scheana asked.
Lisa laughed. “Oh my gosh, jail mail! No, but she did tell [Murilo] that when she gets out of prison, she’d like to have a relationship with me and Meredith [Marks]. So, that was like our jail mail.” Interesting.
“How do you feel about that?” the host asked. “We did exchange one text on Mother’s Day where she said ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ and I said it back,” Lisa explained. “But you know, Jen’s crazy, but she’s harmless at the end of the day unless you’re elderly.”
Scheana responded, “Clearly.” I’m not sure if Jen’s victims would find Lisa’s comments amusing. And why did Lisa decide that she would welcome Jen back into her life once she leaves prison?
Hundreds of people have played Survivor, but is there a world where one of them could step behind the scenes as a producer? Possibly. Jeff Probst recently shared in an episode of his podcast, “On Fire With Jeff Probst,” that there’s one particular Survivor alum who could step into the production side of things. However, it’s not because of their prowess at the game. It’s because this person already has a celebrated career in film and television.
Jeff Probst thinks one Survivor player in particular could work their way into production
On Jeff’s podcast, when asked about a former Survivor contestant stepping into a producer role, he quickly replied, “That’s not completely out of the question.”
Jeff immediately had someone in mind — Mike White from Season 37, Survivor: David vs. Goliath. He finished the season in second place, but that’s not why Jeff thinks he’d make a good producer on Survivor. He’d be a good fit for the show because of his decades-long career as an Emmy-award-winning director, writer, and producer. His most current work is the HBO hit The White Lotus. Ever heard of it? Now, imagine having that type of visionary behind the scenes on Survivor.
“If after Mike White completes what we all hope will be a decades-long run of The White Lotus and he said, ‘Hey, Probst, I’d be interested in being a producer on the show,’ and we happened to have a producing slot that we were looking to fill and there wasn’t anybody already in our producing ranks who was in line — which is also very unlikely that that would happen — then in that specific situation, who knows?” Jeff shared.
“Mike White could join the producing ranks of Survivor,” he continued.
Of course, the likelihood of this happening is slim to none. There’s no way Mike would step away from the HBO money and the Emmys to produce a season of Survivor. But, they are getting ready to celebrate the 50th season of the show. If there were ever a time for him to do it, that would be it.
Survivor 47 airs on CBS airs on Wednesdays at 8/7c.

There are a lot of changes happening with Mauricio Umansky these days, personally and professionally. The ex of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards recently debuted his new relationship with girlfriend Nikita Khan. When he’s not busy jet-setting around the world with her, he’s focused on expanding his real estate empire. And his newest location for The Agency is none other than Bentonville, Arkansas.

They say when one door closes another one opens, and that is just what happened for Mauricio. His show Buying Beverly Hillswas not renewed for a third season. But now he’s launching a real estate coaching network. While he and Kyle are no more, Mauricio is living the high life and vacationing in Greece with his new lady.
And that good energy continued with his plans to open a new real estate office in Arkansas. AMP reported the details of The Agency’s newest location. Mauricio said, “We are thrilled to announce The Agency’s arrival in Bentonville, a city known for its robust economic growth and dynamic real estate opportunities.”
Arkansas seems a long way from Beverly Hills. Still, Mauricio has his reasons why he picked this up-and-coming area. And it’s not just for the hush puppies.
He shared, “Bentonville’s impressive development, including its proximity to major corporate headquarters, makes it an ideal location for our newest office. We are excited to bring our exceptional service to this community alongside our new partners, Kaala House, Calah Andelman, and Alex Andelman, as we embark on this next chapter for The Agency.”
It’s also noted that Bentonville “has been identified as a key market, with its population projected to triple by 2050.” This new office is “part of The Agency’s global expansion strategy, with the brokerage opening 25 new offices in 2024 alone.”
This also sounds like a great opportunity for a real estate show based in the South. We need Andy Cohen and a camera in Bentonville, stat!

It was a tense premiere full of “hattitude” for Real Housewives of Potomac Season 9, Episode 1! The ladies are back, and there’s major drama afoot with Karen’s recent DUI. This week the group tries to put the pieces of the puzzle together regarding Karen’s accident. However, she is remaining mum on the situation. Gizelle also has a hattitude party for Karen’s birthday, but that goes left when Mia’s personal relationships get put in the spotlight. Here’s everything you need to know about RHOP Season 9, Episode 1: “A Crash Course in Deflection.”

The Grande Dame sure knows how to make a dramatic entrance. Season 9 kicked off with a reenactment of the night of Karen’s DUI. A series of charges against Karen flashed across the screen: DUI, DWI, the list went on and on. Needless to say, the cast was shook. Ashely was concerned this was a repeated offense, and Mia observed you can be a danger to yourself but not to others. Gizelle surmised this was not the Karen that she knew.
A month later, Gizelle picked up Karen for lunch. The two looked fab twinning in their denim bustier tops. After they ordered two “Karen specials,” consisting of french toast, scrambled eggs, and bacon, they got down to it. Unfortunately, Gizelle didn’t get the answers she was looking for. Karen couldn’t say much because her case had not been adjudicated yet. But she did share that the loss of her parents and marriage issues had affected her state of mind that night. So they moved on to Gizelle setting up a birthday lunch for Karen. She was going to need all the carbs she could get for the questions to come.
Mia and Gordon were in a much better place than when we saw them last. Flashback to Mia accusing Gordon of locking her in a room, and Gordon revealing he knew she had an affair. Eesh. Now the two are living in the same building. Mia didn’t like she couldn’t have her “sneaky links” with Inc, but the setup was best for the kids. She then asked for a paternity test to verify Gordon is Jeremiah’s father. Inc was questioning it because Mia had an affair with him shortly after her IUI. Gordon told her to tell Inc to drop it. That’s probably not going to happen.
Wendy officially resigns from her role as professor

There were some big life changes happening for Ashley and Wendy. After two years, Ashley was finally ready to move on with the divorce process. And she was hopeful that Michael would be reasonable regarding custody of their kids. Wendy was ready to move on from her role as a professor, so she sent in her resignation letter. She wanted to spend more time with the fam and find something more fulfilling. As Eddie hugged her congratulations, the fear of having to tell her mom next lingered over any excitement she had with sending that email.
Karen met up with newbie RHOP star Stacey Rusch at their friend Vivien Agbakoba’s boutique. They needed dresses for Gizelle’s hattitude party. We learned that Stacey recently moved back to Potomac after quitting her job at QVC. She also has a daughter and is going through a divorce. It’s been rough, but Stacey was level-headed and said it was the right thing to do.
After a classic montage of trying on dresses, the three celebrated with some bubbly. Vivien and Stacey were concerned about drinking champs in front of Karen. However, Karen reassured them she was only drinking water because of her medication. She would be having drinks with them later. The ladies all cheered to that, but it was awkward at best.

Gizelle had a lovely hattitude party set up for Karen’s birthday lunch. Custom-made hats were designed and named for each lady. She explained hattitude was all about love, style, and grace. Then she added she “needs for these ladies to act like they have some.” And if they didn’t, a taco, banana, or construction hat awaited their fate. Ashley arrived first and tried to get the lowdown of Gizelle’s conversation with Karen. But Gizelle told her Karen had shut her down and told her to read the paper. Maybe Ashley could get answers from Karen later.
Wendy arrived and was ready to have a conversation with Gizelle about their relationship. Gizelle claimed to be all about peace these days. And she too hoped to mend things with Wendy and move on. Mia came with her new bestie, Jassi Rideaux. Jassi is a flight attendant who recently settled down in Potomac with Kansas City Chiefs NFL player Darius Harris. Wendy let out her inner Swiftie and wanted to get all the Taylor Swift goss immediately.
Mia’s frenemy Jacqueline was also there. She spilled the tea that she had recently talked with Karen, who sounded tipsy on the phone. Jacqueline didn’t have proof, but everyone’s eye brows raised two notches. Finally, the birthday girl arrived in a bedazzled cowboy hat. Let the showdown begin.
Mia does the first walk off of the season

Karen wasn’t too happy when she saw there was a non-alcoholic drink called “The Grande Dame” on the menu. But she moved on once Gizelle gave her the “Hollywood” hat. Karen then opened the floor for questions like it was a press conference. She announced she wanted to know who her true friends were and didn’t want any “fake bitches” around her. She got crickets.
Gizelle then handed Ashley the “Cowgirl.” Ashley announced everyone was invited to her and Gizelle’s upcoming GnA fusion event. Wendy joked that they didn’t even have any apparel on their website, so how could they fuse anything? Mia was given “The King” for playing two guys. Of course Gizelle had to be shady and asked Mia if she had shared Inc with Jacqueline yet. Stacey was taken aback; she was not used to a “no boundaries” policy with questions. Welcome to the Real Housewives!
Things were lighthearted at first when Mia joked she and Inc had done Gordon’s laundry. But Karen and Gizelle took it to the next level when they brought up Gordon mentioning their kids had seen mom in bed with Inc. They didn’t think Mia was protecting her kids by seeing both men. Mia was shocked, and Wendy jumped in and said that was too far. Mia shouted her kids were thriving and it was wrong for them to bring this up. She then ran off upset, with Jassi and Jacqueline trailing behind her. We are so back.

For years, Kody Brown of Sister Wives has made it crystal clear that he no longer wants Meri Brown in his life. Even though she tried to wiggle her way back into his good graces, Kody often treated Meri quite poorly. Viewers watched as Kody often left Meri out of family functions. This made her feel extremely uncomfortable whenever she came for a visit. So it was a surprise when Kody claimed he wanted to befriend Meri.
Kody Brown doesn’t want another enemy
Meri was Kody’s first legal wife. The duo tied the knot in 1990 and were together for over 30 years. However, Kody lost trust in his wife after a catfishing incident, and the two grew apart. In the most recent Sister Wives episode, Kody shocked viewers by stating that he was trying his best to mend fences. In fact, Kody was hoping to move on in life as friends. But Meri has left Flagstaff and now lives in Utah, where she runs her own business. Kody shared that the last thing he needs right now is another enemy. The father of 18 noted he and Christine Brown and Janelle Brown just don’t get along.
In his confessional, Kody clarified that he had zero romantic feelings for Meri. Kody added, “She is upset that I’ve dragged this out for so long. I don’t blame her. I don’t want Meri to be in this place where she’s taking this toll, this direction that both Christine and Janelle have taken. Oh, yeah, ‘I need one more enemy right now.’” Kody went on to say, “I think if I were single and Meri was single, would I date her? No, I wouldn’t.” Kody’s words felt hollow as he tried to convince viewers he once profoundly cared.
Kody Brown can’t accept that his family has drifted apart
Kody, acting as if he wants to stay friends with Meri, is out of left field. For years, he has done his best to ignore Meri’s wants and make her feel unloved. So now claiming that he wants to be friends sounds selfish. The patriarch wants to stay on good terms to make himself feel better. He isn’t worried about how Meri feels which has been the crux of the problem for the last ten years.
During another confessional, Kody noted, “That’s why I’m trying to be in this place with Meri where it’s like, ‘Hey, can we just be friends and move on?’” Kody’s intentions feel as if he wants to sweep all the bad things he has ever done under the rug. It is annoying to observe since Kody has a way of failing to take accountability. Why would Meri want to continue to be friends with her ex when he did nothing to show that he could be a good friend?
Kody Brown is on bad terms with almost everyone
During Episode 3, the Browns attended a family event. Even though the cameras weren’t allowed to film, it was easy to figure out that the event was the oldest son Logan Brown’s wedding. Kody noted that the entire experience was “awkward” as all his wives kept their distance. Kody once again acted as if he was the only one hurting, noting, “Overall, the whole wedding was just sad for me. We used to go places as a family, and now, those who were my partners are almost like enemies. It’s awkward. I don’t know what the solution is.”
After expressing hope that he and Meri could be friends, Kody reminisced over his relationship with Christine, saying, “For Christine and I, I think that if we would have just broken up as friends, it would have been better for the whole family. Like, make it so we can get back together another time instead of polarizing everybody.” However, Christine has been less than nice to Kody since she left the polygamous family. The mother of six doesn’t want to be friends with her ex and doesn’t think Meri should be friends with Kody either. It is obvious that Kody is having issues understanding why he won’t be reconciling, but the man only has himself to blame.
The 90 Day Fiancé franchise has seen plenty of villains over the years. One of these notorious cast members is Ed Brown, who has appeared in several different spin-offs. Ed’s journey began on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days, when he flew to the Philippines to meet his ex Rose Vega. After their relationship went south, Ed began dating and later got engaged to Liz Woods. About a dozen break-ups later, Ed canceled his wedding to Liz which concluded their relationship for good as well.
Ed was considered the ultimate 90 Day Fiancé villain for some time but that may have finally changed. Like Ed once did, Loren Allen recently traveled to the Philippines for love on Before The 90 Days Season 7. Loren finally met his girlfriend Faith Gatoc Tulod in person but he was hiding a lot from her. Unfortunately for Faith, Loren’s secrets were a lot worse than she ever expected. In only a few episodes, Loren has already managed to surpass Ed as the worst 90 Day Fiancé villain yet.
Loren Allen lied to Faith about his plans to move to The Philippines
Loren has been dishonest with Faith from the beginning. The entire premise of Before The 90 Days involves the American cast member traveling overseas to meet their international partner for the first time. Faith expected Loren to only stay in The Philippines for a few weeks and honestly so did we.
It was a shock when Loren admitted that he hoped to stay in The Philippines permanently after meeting Faith. Before even getting on the plane, Loren explained that he didn’t really have plans of coming back to the US. Loren wasn’t making great money in America, so he felt that it would make more sense to live with Faith in The Philippines. While he was more than happy to share this with producers, he didn’t convey it to Faith.
Loren finally came clean to Faith during dinner with her family. When asked what his plan was for him and Faith, Loren revealed that he saw himself staying in The Philippines. Loren then added that he was technically homeless in America and only stayed in other people’s homes. Faith was surprised to hear this, as she was under the impression that she would be moving to the US to be with Loren. It was wrong of Loren to hide such a big secret from Faith and to assume that she would have no problem with him moving to The Philippines.
Loren cheated on Faith, which resulted in him contracting an STD
Loren’s next mistake was much worse than withholding his plans to move to The Philippines. Before he embarked on his trip, Loren discussed his dreams of having an open relationship. It was evident that this wasn’t something Faith was ok with and that he didn’t even really discuss it with her. To make matters worse, Loren was already acting as if he was in an official open relationship. Shortly before leaving for The Philippines, Loren had been sleeping with other people.
A few days after arriving, Loren and Faith went on a romantic getaway to a waterfall. Everything was going great until Loren decided to drop another big bomb on her. Right before the excursion, Loren found out that he had gonorrhea which he received from sleeping with another woman. This took place while he and Faith were dating online, so Faith was understandably angry to learn what was going on. Faith told Loren that she felt betrayed as he had cheated on her, while he tried to act like he hadn’t done anything wrong.
Loren hasn’t taken accountability for any of his mistakes, which makes him come off as even more of a villain. In just a few days, Faith found out that Loren planned to move to her country permanently after cheating on her which caused him to contract an STD. Loren didn’t see a problem with any of this but Faith and viewers certainly do.

Like Loren, Ed was considered one of the biggest 90 Day Fiancé villains of his time. Viewers began to dislike Ed when they saw how he treated Rose on Before The 90 Days Season 4. Ed embarrassed Rose on numerous occasions by telling her that she had bad breath and that he wanted her to shave her legs. Later on, during his relationship with Liz, fans felt that Ed wasn’t respectful toward her either. Ed made controversial moves like breaking up with Liz out of nowhere and ultimately canceling their wedding behind her back.
There’s no doubt that Ed had bad moments but they weren’t as bad as Loren’s. For starters, Ed was always upfront with his partners about how he was feeling. While he said controversial things at times, he never blindsided anyone the way Loren did to Faith. Furthermore, Ed never cheated on any of his partners. Cheating is one of the worst things you can do in a relationship and Loren crossed a line with that.
To put it frankly, Ed wasn’t a great partner but Loren is a pretty terrible one. Ed did take accountability at times and even went to therapy to work on himself. Loren, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to have any remorse for his actions at all. Neither men are 90 Day Fiancé favorites but Ed is certainly miles above Loren.
