  1. A lot of people are commenting about the price of the wedding, who paid etc...On another board many Eastern Europeans chimed in that this wedding would cost less than $10-15K USD and was pretty standard fare, not excessively lavish for that culture; so wether Chuck paid or not it was pennies on dollar compared to the US (and Belgian) weddings he provided for his other daughters. Charlie is an idiot. Moldova is one of (if not) the poorest countries in Europe, I’m sure the exchange rate was amazing. I went to the USSR- and Moldova is one of the former Soviet countries most like the old USSR- on a school trip in 89’ (given stone ages ago) and literally came back with 95% of the spending $ my parents gave me. A full meal at a fancy restaurant was under $10 max. My finance is Iranian and he always raves about his older barber in Iran that cost him $5 USD equivalent, including tip...that was less than a year ago. People are super ignorant...the family Libby being up at the top of the list.

    I'm going to guess Ari has been sMothered since she was born.  She's never had to be responsible for her terrible choices!

    If she forgot...sigh...to ask if he could support them consequences are on her!!!

    Go home mom!  You're a pest!

    While I appreciate the sentiment, and admittedly didn’t know the family for long, during that period Ari was the opposite of Smothered, more like borderline neglected. Mom Ari may be making up for lost time and past mistakes.

    Mando is thinking when the cameras are gone and his neighbors who do not need to know that they are gay and who may be verbally abusive of them in front of or to Hannah.

    Cranky Gramps needs to think about the big picture instead of getting into a snit because he can't  walk around fingers entwined with his bf like middle schoolers...

    I was really surprised by Ken’s stupidity with this. No, the worse thing that can happen is not being “called a name.” There is still violent gay bashing in many parts of the US, why he wouldn’t trust Armando who has lived there his whole life is beyond me. Maybe their and Hannah’s safety (not to mention her being harassed at school) is more important than holding hands right now? His whining about it reminded me of Nicole in Morocco, and that’s not a good look.

    Sometimes in small shops where business is slow there is a tendency to jack up prices to try to raise whatever income they need to make ends meet.  But the ridiculous prices slow business down even more oof.

    Some people must be really desperate for a plain white tee with “Samoa”cheaply splayed across it. Wow. 😅

    This has been a tough week. The Paul/Karine stuff has been disturbing, but it actually got personal. You know, I'm fairly local to them. I have some ties to other cast members, but my former social services job has given me some ties to that community as well. I actually reached out in an offer to help. I've never done that before, but I didn't know if her attorney was local. At the very least I wanted to make sure she was aware of safe housing and had a bilingual advocate. It was just a few phone calls and emails. My involvement stopped there. However, word got around and I wound up in a ton of drama on another show discussion place. Screenshots were shared and a bunch of crap was directed at me. There were even some fake screenshots shared. Even worse was that I was doxxed. My home address and personal information was shared to what may have been thousands of people. My husband had to change his number yesterday. The mods eventually stepped in and things were removed, but by then it had been hours. Lots of people had seen the stuff.

    One person started it. I don't know that person's username and we've never interacted. When the mods contacted me, though, they said that there was so much vitriol that they thought it might be personal. Or that the person knew me from another show discussion site. So there's that.

    I just wanted to offer some assistance. It's not like I was driving up there and getting between Paul and Karine. I just helped direct someone who could. Even local people have difficulty traversing our system here, and there are many helpful programs that people don't know about. Sometimes even law enforcement is unaware of everything, especially for the immigrant community. When I went through my abusive relationship it was overwhelming knowing where to start-and I worked for a VAW office. The police could help with the EPO, but that was the extent of their assistance. I basically just shared those resources. I never said where she was or how she got there. That's not information I would even know (not to mention a horrible invasion of privacy). She even said on the live stream that she wanted to go to a shelter. I felt bad for her. She seems to have been isolated here and I can't imagine how that must feel. I've had bad things happen to me in foreign countries when I've been alone. It's not cool.

    So I've spent, like, 4 days being concerned for her but also for me. I've got kids, you know? I honestly felt like MY safety could be at risk. It's left me in what feels like a 4 day panic attack. People suck.

    I’m on same site and saw this all go down and felt terribly for you. I even posted in your defense. I got slammed on same forum for posting some pretty harmless info about Ariela (bc I use to work for them). Luckily though they were just a couple trolls and posts deleted. I didn’t see where they gave out your personal info, that is absurd and ridiculous. I’m so sorry, people are crazy!

    There's an interesting story about her childhood on Reddit. It wasn't a happy one according to her babysitter. Not sure how accurate it is. I rarely post, I'm more of a lurker so I'm not sure if I'm linking this correctly.  https://www.reddit.com/r/90DayFiance/comments/gzezbd/i_used_to_babysit_ariels/

     

    I’m the former babysitter, unfortunately it’s accurate.

    ETA: for people that don’t feel like reading the posts on reddit. She had very troubled childhood. The only childhood of a second marriage with contentious divorce (And some shady issues... )The older half siblings (Different father, not Jewish) treated her terribly and she was always left out, being bullied, or crying. Parents worked a lot and were not home often. I’m not surprised she moved to Argentina as soon as she should and got married and kept going where normally she would have been in college in her circles. She also wasn’t a pampered princess, yes family had $ but had a lot of issues. Her paternal grandmother was her main support when I knew them, who she called up daily crying....She was always crying bc of her half siblings resenting her for the divorce (fueled by their father) I’m glad to see her Mom and her getting along now much better. It also amazing to see her her smiling so much!

    Very true.  Is he lying about the visa??

    Nah. It used to be this way, but now Visas are required. My very clean cut/legal English relatives had to get visas this summer to come over for my Father’s funeral, and they were pretty concerned about getting them on time.

    Not really important, but a Jimmy John’s number three is a tuna sandwich. They clearly showed Thomas eating a Vito, aka a number five, as it had salami. Why would get that wrong?!!  Lol

    Ashley had the #3, Thomas his "regular." My attention to detail for this show is shameful.
