greekmom October 18, 2021 Share October 18, 2021 Quote Ben 52 (Fraser, MI) and Mahogany, 24 (San Bartolo, Peru). When Ben, a former pastor in a strict, conservative religious sect, broke free from confinement and his marriage, he struggled to find his way forward. After a bout of homelessness, he eventually found work as a model and caught Mahogany's eye after being featured in a fitness magazine. Her fateful DM led to an intense texting relationship. Bonded by their similar religious views, they fell in love and began making plans to meet in person, despite a 28 year age difference. Ben's friends and family see countless red flags, from the significant age gap between them to the fact that they have never video chatted, but Ben believes that God has brought them together and this is the path he is meant to follow. Is their relationship divine will, or is Ben blinded to the possibility that Mahogany may not be the person she said she is? 2 Link to comment
CrazyInAlabama January 17, 2022 Share January 17, 2022 (edited) So Ben thinks his ex-wife isn't over him? Nope, she's over him not supporting the kids, and sending the money to his fictional girlfriend in Peru. I've known people who belonged to some conservative churches, and when there's a divorce, for whatever reason the partners cite, the woman is blamed, and ostracized by their former congregation. Someday, a few years from now, Ben will need help from his kids, and they'll be reluctant to help him, because he dumped them for a piece of tail. I'm really hoping his girlfriend in Peru doesn't exist. My guess is the 'modeling' career is body building related, and eventually he'll age out.

Sir RaiderDuck OMS January 17, 2022 Share January 17, 2022 As I mentioned on the latest episode thread, I love it when these catfishers have "selfies" that are obviously professionally wardrobed and photographed in front of perfect spotless backgrounds, all while the person in the photo is doing everything with their hands except holding a telephone at arm's length. 7 Link to comment
Popular Post bref January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share January 17, 2022 (edited) Nice of him to try to erase his decades-long, church-sanctified marriage that produced four children by calling it an "artificial construct." His ex must LOATHE him. I know I do. This is the kind of a-hole that typifies the phrase "religious hypocrite." He's also exceptionally stupid--the guy has already been catfished once!

I think she is interested in anyone who is willing to get her out of Peru....or let her stay there and send her "loans" once in a while.....did he ever say what Mahogany does for work? Guessing they didnt' get that far. And it doesn't matter because God will provide. I assume he is paying child support for at least some of those kids (can't remember how many were over 18) and possibly alimony and I hope lives in a sad single Dad apartment (that we weren't shown much of). If she lives in a tarp covered shack, that may be enough for her, but guessing nope....easier to stay where she is and continue to collect $$ catfishing. 5 Link to comment

greekmom January 18, 2022 Author Share January 18, 2022 I was hoping she turns out to be The Williams or at least a Maria. But as they say the night is young and there have not been any photos or clips from the show showing that he actually meets her. Personally I think this guy is full of shit and glad his ex wife is free from him. Plus since he's attracted a catfish, that means his info goes on a list which is sold to other people catfishing. I agree with the posters above. His kids hate him and his ex wife as well. If push came to shove and he needed something, his kids would laugh their ass off. 11 Link to comment
UniqueHandle January 19, 2022 Share January 19, 2022 Maybe he is paying her to say she is his girlfriend to promote himself for his modeling career???

CrazyInAlabama January 19, 2022 Share January 19, 2022 (edited) I can only imagine what being married to Ben the self-centered fool would do to any person. The ex-wife doesn't have to like him, and Ben's statement that she's not over him is laughable. I bet she's been over his rotten attitude for years. However, depending on their specific religious group, I'm guessing that she took the blame for the divorce, even though it all seems to be Ben's idea. I'm really hoping his 'girlfriend' Mahogany, shows him what a fool he is. Telling the kids that he needs to dump them for his girlfriend, who is barely older than his kids, or maybe younger than at least one of them, is ridiculous.

The ex-wife doesn't have to like him, and Ben's statement that she's not over him is laughable. I am here for the ride as well and hope this fool is totally humiliated. He is so self absorbed....I do wonder at what point did he start working out and heard the word of the Lord whisper that he was too hot to stay with his frumpy wife? Seriously....he had an "awakening" and somehow decided he "deserved" a "better" wife. He is a middle age cliche and I feel so sorry for his children. I would say I feel sorry for his ex wife but she actually should count her blessings that she is rid of this d-bag from hell. The fact that we didn't see much of his apartment and his loan was only $1000 (compared to the tens of thousands we typically hear about on this show) tells me that he doesn't have much $$. If he does end up meeting a woman in Peru and brings her over, I think she is in for a sad awakening, sort of like Leda a few seasons ago. Shows up to crappy, dirty apartment and realizes oh shit most of his pay check goes to alimony and child support. LOL And I really don't think that any woman who isn't a virgin is willing to wait until marriage.....hence the young age of his targets. And, the Lord doesn't look too well on divorcing and dumping 4 kids either does he? Yeah, Ben all the women watching heard that line about saving it for marriage adn said, YEP, he is probably worse than Hamza in the sack. Edited January 19, 2022 by Stuckathome 2 8 Link to comment

I hope his ex wife finds someone to rock her world in midlife, now that she's free of him. I agree w/everything you both said. I can't think of a set up more prone to make him feel more entitled and repressed at the same time as an upbringing in a cult religious environment where he's been groomed to be entitled and oblivious to social norms and kept from healthy attitudes about sex and relationships. I read somewhere he is a 3rd generation pastor. See also: Mary RHOSLC and her church/cult and her hoarding millions in unworn designer clothes. My supposition is that someone in the Nigerian scammer society got a hold of Mohagany's pix and video OR they buy this material from her and it's how she makes a living. Dramatic story unfolds where Ben forgives her and they have a come to Jesus meeting against the bad guys. 1 2 1 Link to comment

I was actually hoping the catfish would be an older women BUT with the same ideas and religious beliefs that Ben says he is so attracted to. What would he do or say? He says his love has nothing to do with her age or beauty but tit is all about the connection. Lets see Ben. I do not think they were part of that cult mentioned above with the weight loss Gwen that died. My guess is closer to an offshoot of the Duggars, IBLP. There are many small groups interlocked. My thesis dealt with Mormon in relgion and I have lived in a polygamist community (as an observor not a member). There are so many small groups that no one knows about, some homeschool their kids, don;t live in subdivsions so you don;t even know these groups exist. Look at the Plath kids on TLC until they were cast on the show most had no brith certifcates, born at home, homeschooled , lived on a farm , so until TLC needed the birth certifcates, the kids were not even counted or known of on record. One family I followed for years, the Maxwells, educated parents good upper middle class life, just moved to Kansas and sheltered their family to the extremes. They could not even go to church, they would visit a smalll rural nursing home on Sundays and talk to the senior citizens. Now they have a second geenratopn, and in a few years starting a third generation. They have found like minded people to marry from all pver the country living the same way. To compare the Maxwell's make the Duggars look like wild liberal partiers. Edited February 1, 2022 by silverspoons 3 2 6 Link to comment
ALittleShelfish February 2, 2022 Share February 2, 2022 The unfiltered photo ...she looks like a Duggar daughter. Any of them, they're pretty interchangeable at this point. As with the Catfish show, the producers have actually been in contact with the catfish... so I wonder if TLC has met/spoken with the person in the photos or if it's a legit catfish situation. I can't imagine it would be, they'd have been on early episodes at some point, right? Or is this a new way to get people interested in the Tell Nothing?
