The Top 10 Worst ’90 Day Fiancé’ Cast Members of All Time
90 Day Fiancé has certainly had some interesting cast members over the years. Some of them — like Kenny and Armando — warm our hearts. Others — like Darcey Silva and Jesse Meester — make us laugh. And still others — like David and Annie — have become like our extended family.
And then there are those cast members that make us vomit. Whether they’re cheating, abusive, or just plain nasty, these 10 90 Day Fiancé cast members are the worst of all time.
10. Debbie Johnson (a/k/a “Colteeee’s Mother”) — who’s now a current ’90 Day Fiancé: The Single Life’ cast member
While Debbie Johnson has rebranded herself as a bit of a lovable old lady who just needs a little love, 90 Day Fiancé fans can’t forget how possessive, smothering, and over-the-top she was about “her baby” Colt. Sure, Larissa Dos Santos Lima had her own set of issues — and by no means was she perfect. However, Debbie didn’t seem to get the memo that Colt picked her. And as Colt’s subsequent failed relationships have proven, Debbie’s presence looms large — and unhealthily so. They were better suited for I Love a Mama’s Boy than 90 Day Fiancé.
9. Evelin “Evil-Lyn” Villegas
How hard do you have to work to get the nickname “Evil-Lyn” from nearly everyone in the fandom? Just ask The Other Way cast member Evelin Villegas, whom Reddit users refer to as “cold” and “fraudin’.” And that’s when they’re being polite. Her nasty and entitled personality, combined with her despicable treatment of her husband Corey, and her hypocrisy about cheating make her one of the worst 90 Day Fiancé cast members of all time.
8. Alina Kozhevnikova
A recent entry into the TLC pantheon, Alina was fired from the show before her season was even over thanks to her over-the-top racism. Good riddance to bad garbage!
7. Deavan Clegg
She’s fame-hungry, man-hopping, and a poster child for parental alienation. Fans of 90 Day Fiancé couldn’t help but notice how neglected and dirty her daughter, Drascilla, looked all the time — not to mention how ill-behaved she was, seemingly from a lack of love and attention from her mother, who always seemed to be too busy posting selfies and hooking up with the next man to pay attention to her children. And while Deavan has subsequently blasted the show for their “editing,” according to OK! Magazine, producers can’t work with what you don’t give them. So, there had to be some truth to the rumors.
6. Mark Shoemaker — one of the creepiest, and most sexist, ’90 Day Fiancé’ cast members
Only the die-hards will remember Mark Shoemaker, who was 58-years-old when he married Nikki, a 19-year-old native of the Philippines. Fans couldn’t help but notice that all of Mark’s children were older than his new wife — and he was so controlling that he forced her to sign a prenup, refused to “give her” any children, and flipped out on her when she left her fingerprints on his car window.
Shoemaker set the stage for follow-up creeps who bedded and wedded barely-legal women — like Jonathan Rivera, who was well into his 30’s when he began “dating” 17-year-old (and not of legal age) Fernanda Flores, according to Newsweek — but he’s the original, and still the worst.
And as for the “sexism” claims? Well, the 90 Day Fiancé alum had this to say about his critics (per InTouch): “You know, when you look at most of the people who are responding [on social media], they have five things in common. Basically, they’re overweight, they’re women, they’re alone, they’re jealous, and I don’t know what the fifth is.”
Yes, Mark, they’re definitely jealous. LOL.
5. Mohamed Jbali
Again, nobody’s saying that Danielle Mullins is perfect. Certainly, she was a piece of work. But when her ex-husband Mohamed Jibali went on national television to inform the nationwide viewing audience that Danielle smells “down there,” while screaming that no man would ever have sex with her because of it — and then finishing it off by screaming at her to stop crying as he continued to humiliate her — he crossed a major line.
4. Paul Staehle
Paul Staehle’s most redeeming qualities were that he was neurotic and strange. But few 90 Day Fiancé fans realized how much trouble he would bring until it was way too late. Us Weekly has a detailed timeline of his back-and-forth relationship with Karine Martins, and needless to say, it’s filled with shocking abuse claims, possessiveness, and overall disgusting behavior.
3. Ximena Morales
It’s evident to anyone with a pair of eyes that she’s using Mike Berkowitz for everything he’s worth. While 90 Day Fiancé fans all seem to agree that Mike is nothing if not a strange egg, he’s definitely a good egg. And that makes Ximena’s behavior even more despicable.
2. Geoffrey Paschel
Someone should have done some research before bringing Geoffrey Paschel on 90 Day Fiancé. His rap sheet includes convictions of possession with intent to sell a controlled substance, as well as two federal drug trafficking charges. But that’s nothing compared to his most recent crime. According to People, Paschel is currently serving an 18-year sentence for kidnapping, and violently assaulting, his ex-fiancée. There’s no possibility of parole for this violent felon, and the world is suddenly a safer place because of it.
1. And Leida Margaretha is the worst ’90 Day Fiancé’ cast member of all time
You have to really work overtime to be universally reviled by every member of the 90 Day Fiancé fandom — but Leida Margaretha definitely earned the top spot. She beat out convicted felons and n-word using racists. That’s pretty impressive in its audacity if nothing else.
Fans will recall that Leida had no issue reminding Eric how much she had to “give up” to be with him, as she went from alleged wealth in Indonesia to a small apartment in Baraboo, WI, which was far beneath her high standards, you see.
And as for the apartment? Well, this is where it gets even more despicable.
As it would later be revealed by InTouch, it turned out that Tasha — Eric’s daughter from his previous marriage — was the one who rented the apartment. Imagine how much audacity you have to have to kick someone out of their own home that they were paying for with their own money just so you and your ill-behaved brat could move in.
But you don’t have to imagine, because that’s exactly what the spoiled, entitled Leida did. (That Eric stood by and watched it happen to his own flesh and blood makes him just as bad as his new “blushing bride,” but that’s neither here nor there.)
And then there were the subsequent fights with Eric that led to police involvement, death threats to other cast members (including Deavan), and noxious political views that resulted in Leida receiving death threats of her own. (And to be clear, nobody deserves to receive death threats, even when they’re as terrible as Leida clearly is.)
But the worst part of all was when Leida encouraged Eric to stop paying child support for his children from his previous marriage, and to divert his limited funds to Leida and her child from her previous marriage instead.
In short, Leida is the embodiment of the “wicked stepmother” trope: a vile, nasty person who browbeats her husband, abuses his children, and demands everyone’s attention at all times. And for this reason, she is the worst 90 Day Fiancé cast member of all time.
