’90 Day Fiancé’: Maria Told TLC She’d Only Provide Pictures of Her and Caesar Mack for $3,000, Says Caesar

90 Day Fiancé star Caesar Mack has made it clear that he feels Maria used him for his money. In an interview with The Domenick Nati Show that aired on June 21, Caesar claimed that he gave Maria $90,000 a year over the course of five years.

“I wasn’t taking no days off. That’s real. That’s no bullsh*t, you guys. That is no bullsh*t. That’s saving up my tips and everything. That’s a fact,” he said.

Caesar Mack says he met up with Maria in real life

Caesar revealed on 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantine that he’d actually traveled to Ukraine and met up with Maria in real life. When TLC producers learned of the trip, they asked Caesar and Maria for photos so they could feature them on the show. In his interview with Nati, Caesar claims that Maria would only give TLC the pictures if they paid her $3,000.

“The producers asked her for pictures and she didn’t want to give up any of the pictures. She said, ‘Those pictures are for me only.’ She just told me, ‘They’re for me only and if they want pictures, they’re gonna have to give me $3,000 for pictures.’ And that’s what she told me,” he said, “To prove that I was actually with Maria in Ukraine.” 

Caesar says Maria deleted all the trip photos from his phone

As for why Caesar didn’t just hand over the pictures himself, he still maintains that Maria deleted them all from his phone.

“The messed up thing about it is, I lent her my phone and after we took the pictures she says, ‘Here, let me check out the pictures on your phone.’ So I let her take a look at it, and after she took a look at it we went downstairs to the Uber. And then after she left I went back up and I looked in my Google Drive and she f*ckin erased all the damn pictures,” he said.

Caesar says he tried to recover the photos with the help of a friend once he got back to America, but to no avail.

“I had a friend of mine go through my phone and actually go into my Google Drive and look for it and we couldn’t find any of the damn pictures. Any of them. Any of them at all. I couldn’t believe it,” he said.

Caesar says he knows a lot of people think he’s lying. But he’s sticking to his story.  

“I know everybody thinks it’s a lie. But it’s actually the truth. I actually went down there. I could show you the stamp on my visa, the stamp on my passport. It was f*cking crazy,” he said.
