Shereé and RHOA alum Porsha Williams recently hit up Watch What Happens Live. So, host Andy Cohen decided to play a rousing game of “Do! You! Regret It!?” After all, Shereé has been in quite a few regrettable situations.
Does she regret it, Boo?
Andy asked, “Do you regret having a fashion show with no fashions?” The fashion designer replied, “I don’t. I don’t because it brought me to where I am today.”
Then Andy asked if Shereé regretted shifting Kim Zolciak’s wig. “I do regret shifting Kim’s wig,” she admitted. Then Andy, Shereé, and Porsha hilariously weighed in on if Kim’s wig in the clubhouse was the same one that Sheree adjusted.
“Do you regret telling me at the reunion that She be Shereé joggers would be coming out September, spring, summer?” Andy asked. “Well … no. Because it turned into a saying,” she commented. Fair enough.
But Andy’s next inquiry was shady as hell. “Do you regret saying that when you go to one of Kandi’s restaurants you don’t know whether you are going to get biscuits or bullets?” Instead of answering, Sheree just gave Andy a look.
The next question was one of Shereé’s biggest regrets. “Do you regret waiting two hours in the cold for Tyrone [Gilliams] to show up in Philadelphia?” the host asked. “Absof—kinglutely!” she exclaimed. That scene was heartbreaking. Good for Shereé for moving on.
When asked if she regretted giving Marlo Hampton the bone that hinted that Kandi was a lesbian, Shereé responded, “Did I do that?”
A picture is worth much less than $40,000 dollars
And finally, Andy asked about a huge portrait of Shereé. “Do you regret commissioning a giant portrait of your face to be revealed at your emancipation party?” The reality star didn’t regret it. But Andy was curious about the huge work of art and asked where it was.
“They still have it. I think they wanted to charge me like $40,000,” Shereé explained. “I was like, ‘You can keep it.’” She added, “I see me every day.” A shocked Andy asked, “You did not pay for the portrait?”
Shereé said, “$40,000? No. I actually didn’t like it. It was … okay.”
Andy replied, “Oh my God! Your relationship with bills is funny.” Shereé explained that she was never supposed to pay for the artwork. Sure thing, Shereé.
Real Housewives of Atlanta continues Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
TELL US – DO YOU THINK SHEREÉ WAS SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR THE PORTRAIT? ARE YOU SURPRISED SHE DIDN’T REGRET HER COMMENT ABOUT KANDI’S RESTAURANTS?
Last week on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Chief Engineer Colin MacRae was trying to clear the blocked plumbing in the crew quarters. Apparently, the blockage originated in the girls’ cabin, but Colin was able to get everything flushing once again.
Afterward, he joked with Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, “This is why Gary [King] calls you ‘Daisy Poo,’ huh?” She chased him out of her cabin, as he admonished everyone to wash their hands.
Finally, Captain Glenn Shephard called the crew to the salon for the long-awaited tip meeting. I’d forgotten the guests had just left. Time to show me the money!
Even though Glenn looked pleased with the amount, it was only $13,000 US, which breaks down to $1273 Euros per person. That’s actually quite generous when you think that it was only a 24-hour charter. And having just four guests on board gave the crew a chance to catch their collective breath and not be so frantic.
After passing around the tip money, Glenn again wished Gary a happy birthday. The crew was headed out for another night off, but the captain urged them to save some energy for the next day since they would have a full day off, a rare treat mid-season. Everyone cheered with happiness.
Not only were they getting an entire day off to rest and play, but Glenn announced, “I’ve got you guys a private cabana on Blu Beach, and they will also be doing dinner for you. Recharge your batteries, ’cause we still have half the season to go.” A nice surprise, Glenn, which should go a long way in raising crew morale.
“This has been a very tough season for me,” Daisy interviewed. “There’s sun, there’s beer, there’s Colin. I’m pretty f***ing stoked.”
Gary’s birthday party

While Glenn was helping himself to some dinner, Daisy told him, “We’re setting up a party for Gary up there [on deck]. Are you joining us?” Of course, Glenn wanted to join in the festivities, since Gary’s his boy.
While setting up a cake, drinks and balloons for Gary’s party, Daisy complimented Colin on the shirt he had on. “The situation with Daisy and I just feels natural,” Colin told production. “Because we know each other so well, it’s just comfortable. The only thing I’m concerned about is that it’s gonna affect our friendship because we’re great friends.” Oh, Colin, please don’t break my heart. I have such high hopes for this relationship. Please don’t let that be foreshadowing.
When Gary finally stepped upstairs, he found all his friends wearing “Gary” masks, complete with a jaunty cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth. “I can’t see sh*t,” Glenn complained.
He loved the masks and laughed as he went into Oprah mode, “You get a Gary. You get a Gary!” With a junior stew under each arm, he told Mads Herrera and Lucy Edmunds, “There’s enough Gary for everyone tonight.”
Daisy shot back, “Why don’t we drink every time you f*** another stewardess?” Ouch. That was a little passive-aggressive.
“Daisy,” Gary said a few minutes later, “can I ask a favor? Just because it’s my birthday, tonight you have to be nice to me.” Even though she insisted she’s “always nice” to him, she does seem to love to bring him down a peg in front of everyone on the regular. Gary asked her not to “shove me under the bus tonight,” and she agreed to be nice.
“I’m not the smartest guy in the world,” deckhand Chase Lemacks stated the obvious. “But tonight I’m trying my best not to offend anybody.” So no more asking Lucy if you can shoot tequila between her boobies then? Limiting the alcohol consumption is your best chance there, buddy.
So Chase decided, “Number one goal is [to] just drink less, shout less and just be less.” Sounds like a great plan.
At dinner, Chase went a little over the top trying to win his way back into the ladies’ good graces. “Can I just say,” he announced, “I have never been to dinner with better-looking ladies in my life.” Aww, Chase, they loved it.
But then he had to add, “Cheers to the mistakes I regret already,” causing Lucy to squint her eyes at him with suspicion.
Drunken hijinks continued as per usual for a night off. Deckhand Alex Propson got way too intoxicated and tried to eat his phone. Daisy and Gary made up and hugged it out. Mads caught them mid-hug and decided it wasn’t worth getting jealous, since she and Gary are in a “casual” relationship and he’s not really her boyfriend.
While Gary and Mads once again sneaked off to have sex in the privacy of a guest cabin, Daisy paid a call to Colin in the boys’ cabin. “Come sleep with me,” she told him, but he convinced her to just lie down with him for a second. “I just want you sleeping with me,” Daisy said.
“I’ve never had an experience like I [have] with Colin,” Daisy interviewed. “We’re friends more than anything, but I could easily see us falling into a relationship because he makes me feel secure. He’s kind, loyal and like, who doesn’t love kisses and cuddles?”
The next morning, Captain Glenn sent his crew off to the beach club for some well-deserved R&R. “Let’s get this party started,” Chef Ileisha Dell said. “On charter, we’re all just like, go, go, go. So I’m super excited just to unwind and actually chat to everyone and be friends.”
Alex wished that Glenn could be there with them all, “but otherwise it’s perfect.” Cue footage of Glenn playing with one of the e-foils on the water. He did pretty well, too, until he wiped out spectacularly. Is that safe for him to do by himself when there’s no one around to rescue him? Safety first, Glenn.
For some reason, drunk Colin told Ileisha that the chef they had last year was way better than her. Really, Colin? Ileisha, feelings hurt, went off to the ladies’ room to cry. Amazingly, Chase was the voice of wisdom, telling Colin, “When a woman asks you how she compares with someone else, you say, ‘You’re the best.'”
“So I should just lie through my teeth?” Colin asks.
“Yes!” Chase said. Oh, Colin. You’re losing major points here, honey. Be kind.
“I should have done that,” the engineer finally admitted with a laugh, while Ileisha was still crying in the bathroom. Poor Cheffie.
Colin and Mads get a little jealous of Gary and Daisy
BELOW DECK SAILING YACHT — Pictured: Colin MacRae — (Photo by: Fred Jagueneau/Bravo)
Drunk Gary was admiring Daisy’s bikini-clad body, telling her she had a “model body” and dancing close with her, while Colin watched. Colin was a little annoyed.
“Really?” he interviewed. “Gary and Daisy have always been flirty, but there’s a certain amount of respect and consideration you can have for someone that you’re hooking up with. It’s a very confusing little situation, this one.” It is for all of us, Colin.
Also annoyed? Mads. “I didn’t take him seriously before, [and] I’m still not,” she told Lucy. “Look at his personality, look what he’s doing,” as Gary was motorboating Daisy’s cleavage. Ugh. Not a great look in public under any circumstances.
“But I can’t f***ing talk to Alex … without it being an issue,” Mads continued. “I’m not gonna give serious emotions to someone that’s not serious with me.”
Meanwhile, Gary had his head in Daisy’s lap and was begging her for a kiss. Even though Daisy knew Colin was the “healthier” choice, she still can’t shake the attraction for Gary. Better make up your mind soon, Daisy, cause Colin is not enjoying watching you and Gary canoodling.
At the end of the day, Daisy and Colin cuddled together in the water and shared a lingering kiss right next to Gary. The First Mate was not okay with it, though, and quickly exited the area saying, “Whoa, bye-eeee. That is ridiculous.” Really, Gary? And motorboating Daisy in front of Colin is okay?
Gary acts out
BELOW DECK SAILING YACHT — Pictured: Gary King — (Photo by: Fred Jagueneau/Bravo)
At dinner, Mads sat with Alex, rather than Gary, calling the deckhand “babe.” Gary didn’t like that and retaliated by pulling Daisy in for a big kiss. Colin was sitting on the other side of her at the time. “Gary, don’t,” she warned him.
“I know deep down you love me,” Gary answered. “I think we need to be together. But clearly, that’s not gonna happen now.”
“You hooked up with Mads the first night,” Daisy told him. “You have shown me your behavior. You’ve shown me what I meant to you.”
Daisy didn’t want to be “just another one of his 10 million girlfriends.”
“I know you like Colin as a mate,” Gary persisted, “but I know you actually have feelings for me. Think about it from my perspective.” While you’re having sex with Mads in a guest cabin, Gary? Get real.
Gary accused her of avoiding him by hooking up with Colin. “I don’t want to be with you,” Daisy told him, “because you want to be with everybody else. You f***ing could have had me a million times over, and you didn’t want me. Now that you can’t have me, now you f***ing want me. I’m not playing into this f***ing bullsh*t game.”
The truth about Gary and Daisy is revealed
BELOW DECK SAILING YACHT — Pictured: (l-r) Daisy Kelliher, Alex Propson — (Photo by: Fred Jagueneau/Bravo)
Finally, the truth came out. “Having sex with you was f***ing amazing,” Gary blurted out, as Daisy tried to shush him.
“Gary and I slept together when the season ended last year in Menorca,” Daisy admitted in an interview. “And we also slept together when we went to Disneyland. After that, you know, he still did his usual Gary thing, went from female to female. He never tried to make it anything more. I just wanted this thing to be between Gary and me. Private.”
Daisy urged Gary to move on. “You’re with Mads, I’m with Colin. I really like Colin. I feel a lot for him. It is what it is.”
Dinner completed, everyone returned to the Parsifal III. Their fabulous day off was over.
Back on the boat, the crew settled in for the night. Mads concluded, “I don’t want anyone’s feelings hurt on the boat, but Alex is a grown-ass man. And with Gary, I’m getting a grown toddler boy. I really did not play my cards right.”
Alex may be a “grown-ass man,” but he’s a total asshole. After not so romantically telling Mads, “I’d totally smash you,” he shoved roughly past her standing next to the bar. “Move,” he told her, “Just f***ing move.” Nice.
“So, are you coming upstairs or what?” he petulantly asked her. Wow. The selection of men on this boat is really sad. You have a grown toddler boy (Gary), an obnoxious drunk (Chase) and an even more drunken asshole who’s really hot, but who probably won’t remember a thing in the morning (Alex). Stick with Colin, Daisy. He’s the best of the litter.
“I’m hammered,” Alex admitted, walking up the stairs. Nope, won’t remember a thing.
When she walked through the crew cabin area, Gary grabbed Mads and asked, “Are you coming into my bed?” So she ended up in Gary’s bunk, while Alex fell asleep all alone on deck.
Lucy decided to sleep in the boys’ cabin. Though Gary and Mads told her they had “lots of room” in Gary’s bunk, she curled up in Colin’s bed, thinking he’d be in with Daisy. When Colin came in and found Lucy in his bed, he joked, “What a pleasant surprise!”
After much confusion over who was sleeping where, Colin headed off to the now-abandoned girls’ cabin to share with Daisy. “I need earplugs,” he joked, referencing Daisy’s terrible snoring. He went to the engine room and came back with giant ear protectors. “I don’t know what else to do.”
At last, while snuggling in bed with Colin, Daisy made the choice to come clean. “I want to be honest with you, but I also want to be private,” she told him. “With Gary, it’s something very, very complicated. We have slept together.”
“You guys have slept together?” Colin asked.
“In LA,” she admitted. “And in Menorca.”
“You f***ed Gary?” Colin said, seemingly in disbelief.
“Are you mad that we slept together?”
Colin was confused, “Just ’cause I was led to believe there was nothing going on between you two.”
“I asked him not to tell anyone, and he respected that. Please don’t be mad at him.”
“Why would you lie to me about that?” Colin decided to return to his own cabin. “I just need to figure this out. You f***ed him twice! I just feel f***ing stupid.”
Even though Daisy begged him to stay, Colin returned to his own cabin. We’ll find out soon how things went, as tonight is a double episode. Stay tuned!
Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo and is available on Peacock the following day.
TELL US: DO YOU THINK THE FACT THAT DAISY AND GARY SLEPT TOGETHER WILL BE THE END OF DAISY AND COLIN’S RELATIONSHIP?
For some, the name Joseline Hernandez might be a real blast from the past. The former star of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta was known to ruffle some feathers in her day, and it looks like she may still be ruffling feathers now.
While Joseline’s had several reality TV outings, the height of her popularity was definitely 2016, an absolute whirlwind of a year for her. Stevie J, her partner at the time, sued her for defamation. Joseline fired back at Stevie with allegations of her own. And all of this went down while they had a daughter on the way.
So, needless, to say, Joseline can throw shade. As someone in the hip-hop game, it’s only natural she’d find beef with other artists. This time, said artist is Alexis Wilson, or as most fans know her, Big Lex. Lex was featured on Joseline’s Cabaret, her 2020 reality show.
Mayweather takes a backseat to Joseline
Joseline was arrested early Monday morning, June 12, on at least four charges, including trespassing and battery. TMZ obtained Joseline’s mugshot. See, Joseline was involved in a physical altercation with Big Lex. Ironically enough, the brawl took place backstage at a Floyd Mayweather fight.
In the video now going viral on social media, Joseline can be seen holding Lex in a headlock, beating on her repeatedly. The altercation became so intense that Big Lex was left flailing without a top.
Joseline was separated from Big Lex, but even upon separation, she kept flailing her arms, hitting anyone within reach and without prejudice. An unknown woman walking by even threw a drink at Joseline, at which point she chased the woman out of the building.
As of right now, it’s unclear what caused the fight. Another scuffle broke out in the ring that night on top of the scheduled match as teams and management argued over John Gotti III’s disqualification for continuous holding.
TELL US – WHAT COULD’VE CAUSED THIS FIGHT? DO YOU THINK THERE’S ANYTHING THAT COULD JUSTIFY JOSELINE’S BEHAVIOR?
Oh, Andy Cohen. What a blessing of a man. Who else could retain such a shockingly consistent level head in his line of work? It makes Watch What Happens Live a nice reprieve from the general goings-on in the reality TV sphere, like Kim Zolciak’s bonkers divorce.
But what fans didn’t expect was the appearance from Kim — well, a part of her that is. If you’re not all caught up in the saga, Kim has been selling many wares online to help with her expensive divorce. Although, recently, she pleaded with fans to stop buying from her former business, as Kroy Biermann has apparently taken over.
Kim’s wig gets a bartending gig
So, how does this all come to a head? On WWHL, Andy said to his guests, “I don’t know if you guys heard about this … A few weeks ago, Kim Zolciak-Biermann started selling her wigs online. Well, guess what — we bought one and it’s our bartender!” The camera revealed the Clubhouse’s bar with a blonde wig sitting atop a mannequin’s head. Porsha laughed and said, “Let me sell all my damn wigs!”
In the clip from the show above, the viewer can see the wig in all its glory. Andy introduces the segment by reminding the audience, “Behind the bar, it’s Kim’s wig.” Yes, amid her messy divorce, Kim was reduced to selling her wigs. As longtime fans of RHOA might know, Kim’s rather famous for her wigs, so parting with them may have been a lot for her.
Later during the show, in a game of Pass the Shade, Shereé asked Porsha how much she’d spend on one of Kim’s wigs. Porsha revealed she wouldn’t take one unless it was free. “Free. It’s been on her head.” The camera then showed off the wig one more time.

TELL US – WAS ANDY OUT OF POCKET FOR DISPLAYING KIM’S WIG LIKE THIS? OR HAS KIM HAD IT COMING?
He’s done it again! And now he’s speaking to that experience. Top Chef Season 19 winner, and now Season 20 winner – Buddha Lo is giving us insight into the experience.
Buddha has been cooking professionally since he was a child, and has experience in more Michelin-star restaurants than many of us have ever eaten in. His family was in the restaurant business, and he’s honestly been pursuing excellence ever since.
Second time around
Are we surprised he won twice in a row? No, but tackling a second season on the heels of the first is quite the challenge. Of the experience Buddha said, “It feels incredible. It’s still very hard to digest … You dream of winning it once and then to be the only person that’s ever won it twice … it’s definitely, it was a lot of pressure.”
Also, he did have doubts about how the second season would go – especially as everyone there was not only a contender, but a winner. Speaking to the competition, he stated, “This has got to be on paper the hardest season of all time … you have people that have made it all the way to the end, every single one of them all the way to the end. So, to be able to compete against them and come out the winner; it’s just incredible.”
What to do now?
Buddha indicated that his second win means more than the first. But what’s he going to do with his winnings? He’s not sure, and it doesn’t seem to be top of mind. He said, “I still don’t know what to do with prize money … I’ve just lived a little bit more comfortably than I have in my in my whole life.”
We left off with Jasmine Ellis Cooper struggling, and how sweet – her husband wipes the tears from her face. Hoping she figures out the changing dynamics of her relationships and ‘lives and lets be.’ However, friend reactions are mixed to her struggles.
Jason Lyke, voice of reason drops in, but the story goes on too long and loses attention spans like the moon mass did. It seems the watches were a hit, and supporting your friend is a miss.
Everyone is hurting, but Milo the dog is jazzed! We’re catching some calm, but Shanice Henderson rolls in and Milo is running all around. He feels the energy!
Holy s**t. We are calling another house meet? No one will speak directly to the dog owner over the dog accident. Somehow Preston Mitchum is getting some blame? And he’s not taking it.
The ladies take to an at-home spa day though. They all have great skin so whatever they are doing with the masks and the wine – it seems to be working.
We get more insight into Shanice’s past relationship. It’s intense, went viral online, and as a result, Shanice got death threats. But Jasmine says there is tension with Alex Tyree, and it needs to be addressed for the house’s sake. Apparently, girl is supposed to address her trauma with a man she hardly knows so no one else will feel awkward for the next five days.
The house divides. Boys night! Girls night! The girls are lit. And Silas Cooper is striking out. Strike one – he can’t understand what Simon is saying. Strike two – he doesn’t like Vacation Jasmine because she sleeps in and doesn’t make his breakfast like normal. Strike three – he tells Jason he’s nice, and nice guys finish last. Where is this coming from? The fact that Jason is emotionally mature and more focused on his child than chicks.
Out without his ring
Next thing we know, Silas’ double standard is showing. He’s accepting free drinks after saying Jasmine shouldn’t do it. And he’s out without his wedding ring. Flashing to the ladies on the ground, and being asked to get off the grass.
They all take it back to the house – and Milo is excited. Shanice ends up totally naked jumping from hot tub to pool. And Bria thinks it’s indecent in front of her man (even though this is par for the course for Bria and Shanice). The next day, she doesn’t remember much, but she remembers Shanice.
And rather than talk to Shanice, she talks to everyone about it. Her take is – no one wants to address it, but in reality they feel whatever way they do and aren’t validating her perspective. She’s venting hard and thinks everyone is “fake.”
Rosé day
Next day, everyone is prepping in their own way. If it’s not on the tennis courts, it’s buying 12 bottles of rosé for the pastel day on the lawn. But hold up, we’re caught up on the table at the door.
Silas is micromanaging the lifting of the table, and justifying it with his military experience. He’s basically saying, since subordinates get everything explained to them – Jason does too. The man is an airline steward. If anyone knows how to give lifesaving instructions, it’s probably him – and with a smile. Preston is over the doing of the most.
Silas goes upstairs to pout at his laptop, and now he’s blaming the situation on Jasmine by saying her staying out of it made him look like a dictator. This is not part of the training – could it be a good time for him to get “smoked” (military-style)? Her response, “Okay, now, that’s-that’s where it’s all in your head.” But he doesn’t listen. He carries his mood forward to tell her what outfit and shoes to wear. And later tells her those shoes just won’t do on the grass.
It’s too much. Bria is staying in her room, and won’t attend the soirée on the grass. Jordan Emanuel is just finding out the claim the men made to her. And Shanice comes out on the balcony with her boobs out (again). No one is laughing.
Watch Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard on Bravo on Sunday nights at 9/8c.
TELL US – DO YOU FEEL THERE ARE DOUBLE STANDARDS IN THIS HOUSE? WHO DO YOU AGREE WITH ON WHAT? SHOULD THIS GROUP BE ON VACATION WITH EACH OTHER?
90 Day Fiancé Season 8 was a truly standout season with an all-star cast and many shocking moments. Several of the season’s couples were featured again in other franchise spin-offs, and it’s not hard to see why. Cast members like Yara Zaya and Natalie Mordovtseva have become 90 Day Fiancé superstars that TLC is desperate to cast in as many shows as possible. 90 Day Fiancé Season 8’s bombshell moments were thanks to the stellar cast and their compelling drama.
Mike Cancels His Wedding at the Last Second
Mike Youngquist and Natalie were a couple that almost broke up multiple times before actually calling it quits. In 90 Day Fiancé Season 7, Natalie threw her engagement ring at Mike, seemingly calling off their engagement. But by Season 8, Natalie was eager to move to the U.S. and get married to Mike.
Their first 90 days together in America were extremely rough. The couple disagreed on just about everything, and Mike’s opinionated mother, Trish, didn’t make things any better. But Mike and Natalie’s biggest 90 Day Fiancé Season 8 bombshell moment came the morning of their wedding.
Viewers were stunned as a tearful, and nearly hysterical, Natalie revealed that at the last minute, Mike called off the wedding. The situation was even more devastating to Natalie because her K-1 visa was set to expire just three days later. There was a lot of speculation that Mike planned the whole thing to cause maximum emotional pain for Natalie. However, Mike changed his mind and the couple got married, despite the massive red flags in their relationship.
Yara Finds Out She’s Pregnant
Yara and Jovi Dufren’s relationship was always a rollercoaster ride, and it sometimes seems that the two fight just as much as they get along. The couple faced difficult times even before Yara moved to the U.S., as she suffered a miscarriage from her first unplanned pregnancy with Jovi.
In America, the couple still experienced strife, and Yara even spoke, specifically, about how she didn’t trust Jovi enough to bear his children. However, fate had other things in store for the couple. During Season 8, Yara took a pregnancy test while on camera (the bathroom door was closed, thankfully), and discovered that she was indeed with child.
Though there have been pregnancy reveals on 90 Day Fiancé before, none were as surprising and well documented as the moment Yara found out she was pregnant. The reveal happened in real time, and viewers got Yara’s genuine initial reaction. While Yara was distraught to find out about her pregnancy, after welcoming her daughter, Mylah, all of her concerns melted away. Jovi and Yara turned into wonderful parents who absolutely adore their baby girl.
Rebecca’s Insecurities Get the Better of Her
There was always tension in Rebecca Parrott and Zied Hakimi’s relationship, due to the couple’s 22-year age gap, and things didn’t get better in the U.S. In 90 Day Fiancé Season 8, Zied finally arrived stateside, and at first, Rebecca couldn’t have been happier.
But there were several issues that quickly popped up. One was the skepticism from Rebecca’s daughter and son-in-law, but the other was Rebecca’s own jealousy. The couple went to dinner with Rebecca’s daughter and son-in-law, who brought along a young female friend. Rebecca saw red and immediately assumed the woman was flirting with Zied.
The woman offered to help with Zied and Rebecca’s efforts to move furniture into their new apartment, saying she had several trucks they could use. But Rebecca didn’t see her offers as helpful, and gave Zied a stern look. It was clear that Rebecca was jealous, and Zied quickly got the message and turned down the woman’s offer. Though jealousy is an issue in their relationship, the couple are surprisingly still together.
Amira is Detained in Mexico
One of 90 Day Fiancé Season 8’s bombshell moments that shook viewers the most featured Amira Lollysa, a one-and-done franchise cast member. She was in love with American man, Andrew Kenton, and though there was an ongoing pandemic, the two were determined to meet up and get the K-1 visa process started.
Andrew concocted a plan for them to meet in Mexico and quarantine there before returning to the States. But things didn’t go according to plan, and what happened next led to the unraveling of Andrew and Amira’s relationship. Once Amira arrived in Mexico, she was immediately detained for reasons that were never revealed to her.
Amira was detained for three grueling days in a freezing cold cell with no toilet paper or access to a shower. The French woman tearfully recounted her experience, and it was clear that her time in Mexico was extremely traumatizing. Andrew came up with another convoluted plan to get Amira to the U.S., but ultimately the couple split before Amira went through with it.
Julia Threatens to ‘Go Russia’
Young couple Julia Trubkina and Brandon Gibbs faced a lot of hardship early on in their 90 days, as they had to live with Brandon’s overbearing parents, Ron and Betty Gibbs. From the start, Julia detested living on the Gibbs family farm, and she didn’t appreciate being told to help out with taking care of the animals.
Julia had to endure Brandon’s parents’ constant meddling, from Betty trying to get Julia on birth control, to being admonished for using the hot tub. Eventually, Julia hit her limit and called Brandon while he was at work to confront him.
She demanded to leave the farm at once, and threatened “I go Russia” if he didn’t comply. Though the couple didn’t move off the farm immediately after their tense phone call, they eventually rented an apartment and gained their independence.
90 Day Fiancé Season 8 was one for the books, and there were plenty of memorable bombshell moments that kept viewers entertained. Unfortunately, that’s more than can be said about some other seasons of the franchise.
TELL US – WHAT WERE YOUR FAVORITE MOMENTS FROM 90 DAY FIANCE SEASON 8?
Making its debut in 2014, 90 Day Fiancé was unlike anything viewers had seen before, and the franchise has grown by leaps and bounds since then. 90 Day Fiancé Season 1 was the OG, and in many ways, that season set the tone for the future of the series. Viewers were introduced to the K-1 visa process and saw firsthand just how difficult it is to move to another country. However, there were also many differences between the first season and the rest of the series. One main difference being the 90 Day Fiancé Season 1 couples who stayed together.
90 Day Fiancé Season 1 Couples Are Still Together
Shockingly, all of the couples featured in 90 Day Fiancé Season 1 are still together, despite how rocky their time on the show was. Viewers who are more familiar with later seasons may be surprised by the Season 1 success rate. This was not too uncommon in the earlier seasons, but after nine seasons and many spin offs, fans have come to accept breakups as the norm. Sometimes it seems as though the franchise has shifted away from depicting love stories to showcase explosive drama instead.
The most dramatic couple from 90 Day Fiancé Season 1 is, perhaps, the most surprising to still see together. Russ and Paola Mayfield seemed mismatched during their first season of the show, leading to doubts that they would get married at all. Paola didn’t fit in with Russ’ more conservative family, while Russ had trouble with Paola’s flamboyant nature.
However, Russ and Paola did tie the knot, and have since welcomed a son, Axel, in 2019. But that’s not to say the couple haven’t had their issues. In 2021, Russ and Paola briefly separated, but managed to patch things up. As evidenced by the couple’s Instagram posts, their family of three is still very much together.
Alan and Kirlyam Cox raised eyebrows on 90 Day Fiancé season 1 due to their unconventional initial meeting. The couple met while Alan was on an LDS mission at age 20, and Kirlyam was 12. Alan and Kirlyam also struggled with their desire for each other amid their strict religious rules. However, despite any weirdness that came from their meeting, the couple have stuck it out since they said “I do” during season 1.
Now, Alan and Kirlyam have two children together and regularly post their adorable family photos on Instagram. Alan and Kirlyam have mostly stayed away from the franchise, which may be a good thing.
Earlier in Louis and Aya Gattone’s relationship, the couple would have been a good fit for 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. Initially, Aya wanted Louis to move to The Philippines, but agreed to come to the U.S. because Louis had two children from a previous relationship.
Though the two struggled at first, they ultimately smoothed out their issues and are still a happy family, with two additional children, today. Louis has often spoken about his deep love for his wife Aya, and gushes about what an incredible mom and stepmom she is to their children. Louis and Aya have become one of the most forgotten 90 Day Fiancé cast members, which has actually worked out well for them.
Mike and Aziza Eloshway were a couple that a lot of viewers didn’t have much hope for. The quiet Aziza didn’t seem to fit in with Mike’s family, and it was unclear if she loved Mike at all. It was a genuine surprise that they got married at the end of the season, and there may have been some TLC trickery when editing the couple’s footage.
Clearly, the two have deeper feelings for each other than were depicted on the show, as Mike and Aziza are still happily married. The couple welcomed a baby girl in 2010, and from what followers can tell on Instagram, Mike and Aziza absolutely adore their daughter.
