90 Day Fiancé: Which Cast Members Are Having The Worst 2022 So Far

Some 90 Day Fiancé cast members are off to a rough start in 2022, but there is still time for them to turn things around. Plenty of franchise relationships have resulted in successful and happy marriages, but not all cast members in the extended franchise are thriving in their personal lives. Find out which 90 Day Fiancé franchise cast members revealed their ongoing struggles.

There are various reasons why franchise cast members are having a difficult year so far. Many of the Ukrainian cast members are coping with watching the invasion of their home country, and they’re worried about their loved ones. Meanwhile, the ongoing pandemic has created burdens in the lives of many people. For example, it’s complicated the immigration process for a number of international spouses. In addition to these global issues, cast members also struggled with personal losses, illnesses, lack of job security, criminal issues, breakups, and divorces.

When it comes to evaluating issues, plenty of 90 Day Fiancé franchise cast members have problems that are definitely serious. At the same time, other new franchise cast members are notably struggling in the public eye. The 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5 cast has been ripped apart by critical viewers who found plenty to complain about when it came to the messy duos. Dealing with an onslaught of viewer criticism has been harder for some cast members than they might have anticipated. Find out which 90 Day Fiancé franchise cast members are struggling with personal problems.

Geoffrey Paschel

It’s safe to say that few franchise cast members are having a worse year than former Before the 90 Days personality Geoffrey Paschel. At the end of 2021, Geoffrey was convicted of assaulting his ex-fiancee, among other serious charges. Geoffrey and his partner Varya Malina maintained his innocence despite the conviction, public evidence of abuse, and outrage from franchise fans. While Geoffrey was hoping to avoid punishment for his crimes, he was sentenced to 18 years in prison in February 2022. This heavy sentence was accompanied by a personal critique from the judge. Geoffrey is now expected to have many unhappy years to come.

Ben Rathbun

Ben Rathbun was arrested for far less serious crimes, although he might have just jeopardized his job as the Executive Director of the Michigan Lupus Foundation. The current B90 cast member Ben was jailed and released on March 15 for allegedly violating his probation. He didn’t appear at a February 7 hearing stemming from a 2020 arrest for an OWAI and driving with a suspended license. In addition to possibly facing more time behind bars (and potentially losing his job), Ben has also earned the wrath of franchise fans. Many viewers have blasted Ben for using his faith to justify dating Mahogany Roca, a woman who is three decades younger than him. With his public reputation in tatters, it appears that Ben has started this year off on a very bad note.

Karine Staehle

Karine Staehle is one franchise cast member who appears consistently involved in drama. Karine and her now-estranged husband Paul Staehle have a very concerning relationship that has showcased many serious accusations. Viewers were distraught when a video of Karine striking Paul in front of one of their young sons was leaked. Now, viewers believe that Karine is facing charges of domestic assault. The State of Kentucky has allegedly charged Karine with domestic assault as a fourth-degree assault, which is a misdemeanor in Kentucky. It appears that Karine’s past violent behavior might hinder her from quickly moving on from Paul and rebranding herself.

Paola Mayfield

Paola Mayfield has faced a rocky relationship with Russ Mayfield since the couple appeared in 90 Day Fiancé season 1. Though the couple reunited amid cheating accusations, Paola has opened up about recent health struggles. Paola alarmed fans with a video in January that revealed she had been hospitalized for heart pain. Though Paola later updated fans that her health was improving, many viewers were disturbed by her video and concerned for her well-being. Meanwhile, some franchise fans are not optimistic about 90DF Russ and Paola’s future together.

Colt Johnson

Infamous franchise personality Colt Johnson revealed that his marriage is in a very bad place at the 90 Day: The Single Life season 2 Tell-All. Colt and his wife Vanessa Guerra stated they were currently separated due to the enormous influence that Colt’s mother Debbie has on his life. Vanessa explained that Colt and Debbie are exceedingly dependent on each other, something that franchise fans have witnessed. While Vanessa made it clear that she would be open to a reconciliation with Colt, she also said that he would need to change his relationship with his mother. This task will be very difficult for Colt, as he and Debbie completely lack boundaries.

Memphis Sandoval

Memphis Sandoval is currently airing her romance with Moknii Hamza on Before the 90 Days season 5. The nurse practitioner has made it clear that she deeply regrets appearing on the show. Memphis quickly became a franchise villain for her whiny attitude and poor decision-making skills. Many viewers believe she embarrassed herself with her actions and potentially put her real career at risk with her reality TV appearances. Sensitive Memphis voiced that constant fan criticism has taken a toll on her mental health. Though Memphis revealed that she is learning to ignore her critics, her mental health appears to have been negatively impacted by her franchise run.

Jasmine Pineda

Jasmine Pineda is another Before the 90 Days season 5 cast member who has opened up about the toll of appearing on reality TV. Though the season was filmed last year, when B90‘s Jasmine dealt with the fallout of having her naked photos shared by Gino Palazzolo, she is also currently responding to criticism of her behavior. Jasmine took responsibility for her over-the-top anger and jealousy and is attempting to rebuild. However, she has been honest about the struggle of losing her job due to the pandemic and coping with appearing in the 90 Day Fiancéfranchise. Unlike Memphis, Jasmine doesn’t blame TLC for her dramatic portrayal, which does make her popular among viewers.
