Stephanie & Ryan

[Mrs Dawn]

This woman is completely insane, first you want a young man and then you torture him about cheating and you have never had any valid proof but on the other hand you have slept with his COUSIN!! And constantly throwing your money in his face is disgusting!! Watching how you act is embarrassing for all who witness! He acts so much more mature than you and with more class! Money can’t buy you class!!

[mamadrama]

Y'all, I'm feeling real conflicted here about the rape accusations. My default is to believe the woman. That's always felt like the right thing to do and in the Me Too movement it's become even more important to take these accusations seriously. But with THIS situation...I don't know, guys. It was wrong of him to press forward without the condom, especially since she'd explicitly told him not to, but the scene didn't unfold the way I expected it to. Regardless, I think she could benefit from some serious counseling.

I'm also conflicted, basically because she was so freaking trashed who knows how well she communicated her expectations to him about using the "glow-in-the-dark" condoms.  Hell, I'm not even sure such novelty condoms are effective against preventing STDs or pregnancy.    

I had to turn on closed captioning to understand her slurring rants.  

The fact that she called him to thank him for not stealing her mother's ring and then almost immediately contacted Harris to have a good solid fuck friend also made me even more conflicted.  

Unfortunately, it's ambiguous situations like this that can potentially undermine other situations.  

And I also agree that she needs counseling.  Something was way off with her, even prior to this drunken spectacle to which we were witness.  

That being said, I can't wait to see the wackadoodle stabbing the fuck out of the balloons next week.  😄

I wish I could get a drink with the people who are covering this woman's storyline, like catch them in the hotel bar after they've wrapped for the evening. Just to see the shaken look on their face, hear the heavy sighs. You know they will start with the "Look man, I had to sign an NDA, but let me tell you brother...[slugs a mai tai]...I have seen. Some. SHIT. Like shit you can't unsee. It stays with you man. That lady? Haunting and it isn't a compliment. Like I had to tell my boss I wanted a company cell phone so she doesn't have my number, and she is texting me shit at like 430 AM on a Tuesday, it's nuts. I mean last time...look here...(Shows phone)....she's up at 230 AM hula hooping, and texting me about how her hips are sore. I mean...I GUESS maybe she's trying to be sexy, but she's north of 50, like it just made me think of my mom. Last night she texted us from her room and I wen tin there, she's sitting naked on the floor of the shower chewing on a washcloth and crying, then demanding "MORE CABANA BOYS". It's fucking dark man. I graduated from UCLA film school and thought I'd be working with Roger Deakins, not marooned in Belize with this woman...my dad won't even talk to me anymore."

I'll add to that....

"Man, and for a few minutes there, I thought she was going to accuse ME of stealing her mama's ring!!!  Good thing she found it after tearing her room apart."  (Visibly shudders and slugs another mai tai)

Misery loves company, a/k/a I saw Stephanie's OF's pricelist now everyone else has to see it, too - 

 

Also, here are some photos from her account. They are NSFW, poor quality, and not worth seeing, imo. I expected more from someone who holds herself out to be a professional and unapologetic cougar. Larissa hired a photographer and makeup artist for her first photos, and encouraged Jess to do the same. Since then, they have taken some snapshot quality photos, but seriously Stephani, take some pride in your work:

Tried to move them under a spoiler, and don't know if they will stay there or disappear again.

I am speechless. WTF? Who is paying for those photos?

The last photo looks like a post mortem pic.

Did one of her cats take these photos?

A dildo pic? Seriously, with all the free porn with better looking participants?  

I guess that med spa place is not really hers or business is that bad.

Speechless.

Your comment started my day off with a laugh, thank you!

[Stuckathome]

And there you have it people....if she were really this established, classy businesswoman would she be doing this shit? I mean, the show, first of all----who the hell except people desperate for cash would subject your personal life to such scrutiny?? And now this Only Fans garbage?? 

Sex work is work and that isn't my issue---actually, I dont' have an issue except it blows my mind that there are people willing to shell out money for that crap when like others mentioned there are better looking people doing real porn you can see for free. 

[Arynm]

Are those acupuncture needles in the first pic? Do you feel sexy when covered with needles? I have no idea, I have never tried acupunture.

I thought her skin was peeling, but I think it's needles.

[cyberfruit]

she's looking a little uh...corspe-esque in a two of them.

[Uncle JUICE]

Look, I'll just say it. I love the word "dildo." It's especially awesome to imagine this savvy business woman doing market research on what other f+ list celebrities are getting for their dildo videos and saying "Well, I'm not quite Jennifer Anniston, but am I on the same level as JWOWW? Lisa Vanderpump?" I am ALWAYS saying it. Yes, even managed to get it in during an episode of All Creatures Great and Small. ANY TIME someone is opening a box, is asking what's in there, is saying "I know what you need..." the answer is forever dildo.

I was walking down the sidewalk of a busy street in Dubrovnik, Croatia trying to get to my bus stop when this dude approached me and started talking to me in Croatian. I politely apologized, said I didn't speak the language well, etc. It was at that point he opened his coat, pulled out a bright green dildo, and started chasing me down the street waving it wildly around his head.

I'm still not sure what that was all about. Some kind of bootleg dildo salesman? 😁

[Mrs. Hanson]

Okay so I am kinda confused:  Is this what we are aspiring to?  Getting on a TLC show to get a Fans Only account and post and sell nude pictures of yourself?  Does no one aspire to have a ...........wait for it........job?  Instead of career day where everyone wants to be a nurse, teacher, lawyer, or a soldier we now have this?  Nowadays many little kids want to be a youtuber or a rapper.

Yes, it is odd that all of the Joe Blow's search on line for a woman and none of them have a career of any kind, no nurses, teachers, lawyers...their careers all seem to be finding men on line and posting racy photos that cost money to look at.

I agree @mamadrama about being conflicted.  I have been listening and watching some youtube videos and some good points were brought up:

1. Ryan says in a Bares All that they always play this condom game. Where she brings them down with her but they never use them.

2. Now TLC wasn't there when the alleged stealth, rape, assault happened. So why did she wait to accuse him in front of the cameras and not call the police, hotel security, something and kick him out or get him arrested?

3. Why is she calling Harris to come over and be her friend fuck ??  Wouldn't she get on a plane back home at the very least?

Like i said, these were great points brought up by what I have heard online so far.

Taking the Only Fans (which is fairly new and didn't gain a ton of traction until the pandemic) thing aside, the weird thing is that those other things are jobs. Youtubers, podcasters, etc create content, they keep books. They network and attend expos and conferences. They (theoretically) pay taxes. There are top universities in the US that now offer degree programs in it. It's weird to US because it's new and we remember a time in which YouTubing didn't exist. However, for this generation it's seen as no less of a career option than being an actress, model, radio broadcaster, or singer was in previous generations. You could add almost anything in the arts or entertainment field to that list. Or any other industry where high levels of success is based on aptitude, talent, and luck. 

My husband spends probably 30 hours a week on his podcast-and only 1/4 of that is actually spent doing the podcast. He's also a university professor and manager at a Dollar General store and, according to him, the podcast work is far more challenging in the number of varied skills he must have. He has to be researcher, accountant, marketer, interviewer, graphic designer, videographer, and editor all at once. He's constantly taking courses (at our university) to learn new IT skills. 

I have a kid who wants to be a videogame designer and another one who wants to be a YouTuber. Neither one of these things bother me. For one, they're kids. When we were little in the 80s my friends and I wanted to be singers, basketball players, actors,  and astronauts. Odds are that by the time they reach the point where they're looking at colleges they'll have changed their minds half a dozen times.

I WISH I could return to my childhood to the point where the whole world was open and I truly thought that I was going to grow up to be a country singer. Or when my little classmates thought they were going to be famous baseball players or football stars. Those were good days. 

I think that most of these people on 90DF, like Stephanie, just want to be famous and they'll do anything to snatch a bit of that pie. What were seeing now are couples who have watched the show and have learned how to play this game (like Libby and Andrei). With Stephanie, though, they seem to have picked a real crazy. Like, certifiably crazy...

I only wish that had happened to me, so I could tell that story. that's funny! I was waiting for you to say he pulled out a gun. well told.

I imagine Stephanie is wearing gloves to cover her old lady hands.

Damn, I opened them while Mr Twopper was across from me, but he said he didn't see them because he was working a crossword puzzle. Sure, but I can pretend he didn't see me seeing them.  Please send eye bleach and brain bleach.

I would think if she were popular and in demand these prices would be a lot higher.  But because almost no one knows who she is,  I wonder how many she can sell, because as @Stuckathome  pointed out there are better pictures on the web for free.  And she really isn't all that attractive.

I don't see this having anything but an adverse effect on her business back in Grand Rapids.  The woman is slutty.  Also I wonder if there is a sexy video involving hula hoops.  I bet she could start a new trend of naked hula hooping and maybe get into the Guinness Book of World Records that way.   Sheesh.

I have zero problem with a student wanting to be a youtuber.  I find it funny when I ask, in an encouraging way, "Well what would your channel be about?  Singing? Cooking? Dancing? What?" they shrug their shoulders and say "I dunno. I hate public speaking."  Same with the high school girls who want to be a vet but hate science and math and have never worked at PetSmart or in a vet clinic.   I am all for dreams but when one gets to high school one needs to focus.  And yes I agree most people have changed their minds a thousand times in college or post high school.  No one wants to be an astronaut, doctor or teacher anymore.  (I can't blame anyone for that last one, lol!)

The gloves in those pictures made me curious as to whether Stephanie is hiding something. Does she have old lady hands like Kyle Richards?

Thanks for that, I was about to ask wtf are those odd whiskers on her torso? 😳

[Rt66vintage]

I showed Mr. Vintage Stephanie's pictures. He said in the car show world she's a "10 foot car, looks good from a distance, rust damaged up close."

She does look corpse-like, and at first I thought she was wearing my dishwashing gloves. Pitiful for a post menopausal woman. 

[Persnickety1]

This wackadoodle is a real head scratcher for me.

She apparently owns a legitimate business with two (?) locations.  

I totally understand people signing up for this shit show for publicity, exposure, and a little extra cash, but...

Surely nothing positive for her business can come from her appearance on this show, can it?  

She comes off as a raging lunatic just shy of bunny boiler territory, a drunken ranting nonsensical loon, and an older woman making a spectacle of herself trying to buy some foreign dick, just to name a few.

And then there's her OF shenanigans.  

I just can't wrap my head around what her end game is or why she signed on for this show at all.  I know there's that saying "there's no such thing as bad publicity, but seriously?  I would never patronize this woman's business if I lived near one of the locations.  She comes off so unbalanced on this show I wouldn't want her anywhere around me to perform an aesthetic procedure.  

Does anyone know the timeline, when this was filmed and then aired?  I know her appearance on this show started with her talking about the pandemic and inability to travel to see her "fiance."  Her business had to have taken a hit during the pandemic.  

The only possible reason I can think of for her appearing on this mess is she needed money fast.  The TLC check reportedly isn't much, but I can see where it might temporarily help to keep a business afloat (and maybe even make a few mortgage payments).  On the other hand, her total lack of self-awareness regarding her behavior on the show and how that is perceived seems counterproductive to "saving" her business.  

I can't figure out what her end game is with this.  It will be interesting to see how her business fares after the dust settles from her appearance on the show.

I wonder this,too.  I would have thought she would have been scheduled for the show in late Dec or early January before the pandemic got going enough to affect travel too much.  It looked like Brandon picked up Julia before things too rough, but I think Hazel arrived wearing a mask and, or course, there was the brouhaha with Amira having to fly with a mask to Mexico.  So I guess she signed up before the lockdown in Michigan which I am sure closed down her business for an extended period.  I would guess it would be considered unessential like a hair salon, tanning salon or spa,  but maybe it could stay open with only one client at a time.   I just don't know, but I would guess that her business is probably at risk even if she got one of those loans.   I don't think at the rate she charges for her trashy pix and videos, she will make much money at all.

Season 8 premiered on December 6, 2020.  Stephanie and Ryan filmed their entire story over two weeks in October 2020, according to a self-identified middle-aged woman on Reddit (below).  Salons and personal services shops in Michigan were allowed to reopen on June 15, 2020.

• Filming lasted two weeks, and every scene was done entirely at the Victoria House resort.  They recreated different parts of the resort to look like they weren't all at the same resort, because it was right after Belize reopened.
• The "tentpoles" of their story are real, and Stephanie and Ryan were a real couple, as were Stephanie and Harris.  They produced the storyline down to fit their production schedule. 
• Stephanie and Ryan had probably already broken up by the time they were actually filming the dinner scene where Stephanie confronts him about her psychic.  They didn't interact at all between scenes, or seem like a real couple or at all in love.  Stephanie actually did seem into Harris between their scenes.
• The dinner scene was filmed on Sunday.  The doctor wouldn't let her film on Monday, because she had been eaten alive by sandflies.  Harris arrived on Wednesday.  Stephanie lost her scheduled day off for her sickday.

Plus, her skin looks like crap in closeups. Too much exposure the the sun has marked her face and apparently fried her brain.

In that Celeb Talk Guy video, she says that she came on the show to increase her sales, and her business has doubled.  She also swore off any future TV show ("never in a million years").

Of course, consider the source. . .

The only possible reason I can think of for her appearing on this mess is she needed money fast.  The TLC check reportedly isn't much, but I can see where it might temporarily help to keep a business afloat (and maybe even make a few mortgage payments).  On the other hand, her total lack of self-awareness regarding her behavior on the show and how that is perceived seems counterproductive to "saving" her business.

That would make sense if they got paid upfront, but they don't. They don't get paid until directly after the Tell All is filmed which, for some, can be up to a year later (sometimes they're not sure which season a couple is going to appear in). 

This probably IS good for her business. Look at the number of people who buy Danielle's autographed pictures, Cameos from Baby Girl Lisa and Tom, and Only Fans subscriptions from Coltee...People be freaking nuts.

In that Celeb Talk Guy video, she says that she came on the show to increase her sales, and her business has doubled.

Four clients rather than the previous two? Two instead of the previous one?

Technically, can Stephanie ever really consent to sex? I mean, she seems high as a kite or shitfaced drunk in every scene in Belize.

So when she claimed that Ryan raped her, is she talking about him being deceptive about wearing a condom? Or was it a different situation, like where he actually forced himself on her against her will?

I was walking down the sidewalk of a busy street in Dubrovnik, Croatia trying to get to my bus stop when this dude approached me and started talking to me in Croatian. I politely apologized, said I didn't speak the language well, etc. It was at that point he opened his coat, pulled out a bright green dildo, and started chasing me down the street waving it wildly around his head.

I'm still not sure what that was all about. Some kind of bootleg dildo salesman? 😁

I just recently finished that book!

I think it was when Ryan didn't use a condom.

Again, I hate to doubt a rape claim, and yes, if he did what she said then I don't blame her for feeling violated. I question it because this woman is so drunk or high I don't know that she has the best memory of what was said or not said and Ryan did say this is sort of what happens every visit---she brings a bunch of condoms and bitches that he hasn't been faithful, then doesn't want him to use said condoms. Also, not to judge but, um, she sort of recovered from that assault really, really fast with the next available man for sale. Like....the same night. I don't think she was all that traumatized, probably more from teh sand flea bites.

Her storyline is just so weak. I find most of them on this show to be pretty weak but yeah I get drawn in and do watch  of course~

but she is just too hard to watch and even try to imagine that this is really happening. 

Her eyes are dead looking. She is totally dazed and confused. 24/7

I mute her - I can't stand her or her voice.

You know, maybe Stephanie canmoveonfromRyanjustlikethat, but I'm not finished with him yet. I need a production crew sent to his job so we can see the look on his face when his "boss" tells him who his REAL boss is. In fact, I wonder if that's why Ryan and his mother are so interested in sucking back up to Stephanie now ...

My son does an great impression of her, when she is asked a question and the answer is yes she does a half body nod in slow motion, like a horse.

Someone on instagram posted what appears to be a dating profile for Stephanie on the app Bumble. A very photoshopped pic (oh filters) and in her description she lists being busy "building two businesses and earning 4 college degrees" as the reason she is still single. Oh and yes, reality tv star is listed as one of her jobs. 

Assuming that it really was Stephanie who set up this profile....um.....does she really think we believe that ish? lol Especially after listening to and watching her all season?

Stephanie would have been a better candidate for the TLC Cougar show that was on a few years back than 90 Day Fiancé.

In the preview she was burning the K1 app for Ryan and I was thinking 'holy crap lady your going to start a fire with all those leaves on the ground'. Lucky there was a pit there but still. She should have stayed to make sure the fire was out.

With everything said and done I think things went this way:

1. Stephanie and Ryan were a real couple at some point but broke up before coming on TLC.

2. At that point Steph had moved on to cousin Harris.

3. TLC liked the storyline of the Steph/Ryan/Harris and rolled with it.

4. Steph flew down to Belize to film the scenes with Ryan but was involved with Harris at that point

5. They needed a good excuse to get rid of Ryan to introduce Harris so someone (Steph or TLC) made up the stealth/rape storyline.

The reason being is from the posts on reddit and Steph blaming Ryan on camera instead of getting rid of him during the night and explaining to TLC the next day what happened.   Plus I don't understand how Stephanie would still use the TLC as part of her IG if she is so upset about the sandflies biting her and saying she's going to sue them.  Mark (S2) didn't want to do anything else with TLC after his bad edit and basically dropped off the face of the earth.
