Melissa & Ricky: Rico Suave & Chiquita Banana

[Dobian]

Ricky should STFU and be happy he got $1,000 an episode.  What a loser.

Ricky is on crack; when the season first started I fast forwarded through Jesse and Darcy because - ew and Ricky and Melissa - because the way he pronounced "MELissA drove me nuts. I started watching their storyline when Ximena showed up because she was spicy. Ricky however, gave me the skin-crawlies. If he thinks HE is the reason we watched season 2, he is not only a liar, he is a dreamer as well.

Exactly.  The only 90DF cast members that have any right to birch are the folks in the first two seasons because who knew what this wacky show would be. This jerk had ample opportunity to watch the show and see what the impact was in the cast . He's a fucking idiot

I know I sound like a broken record, but he's the one person I wish TLC hadn't paid! They would be completely in their rights not to pay him because he conned them. And, if he protests, he would be met with an army of their lawyers!

They need to discourage this kind of fakery from happening in the future.

Apparently, Ricky didn't get paid after all. If you look on 90DayFianceMemes on Instagram (or just take my word for it that's easier), there's a meme making fun of Ricky for not getting a check. And, Ricky himself (I think) comments on it in the form of Crown Entertainment Productions or whatever he's calling his goofy company. He apparently really feels like he's ahead of his time... typical delusional loser stuff. Anyway, Sharp let Ricky know he was the bitch after all. Glad to hear it. Probably a little too glad.

Whenever I hear about Ricky and his production company I automatically think of porn...like he produces porn.

That’s delicious! This guy made a fool of himself on tv and didn’t even get his meager cheque for it? I can’t fathom that it has helped his business any or any other facet of his life. His intelligent daughter surely will have some opinions on all of it when she’s older. What an absolute ass he is.

Remember the American version of the gypsy weddings ?  TLC would reach into the hidden crevices of Appalachia to find "gypsy" impoverished teenagers to marry.  I think it was reported that the couple got $3000 to appear and marry.  So many times friends would act like a couple and marry just to get the most TLC money to split.

And the weird thing is that I've lived in some of those deep recesses of Appalachia for almost 40 years now, even have family in some of those places the American "gypsies" came from, and I'd NEVER heard of a strong Romany subgroup until this show. After talking to friends and family who knew some of the key players in that series, it appears that while the heritage itself is real, they're playing up almost everything and many of them didn't even identify as gypsy until the show.

For the last several months, I have refused to acknowledge this asshole's existence and won't click on any link that is about him. I'm doing the same with a bunch of these past castmembers like Ricky. Unfortunately, I hit a snag. I wanted to post something in Steven's thread but thought it wouldn't make sense if I didn't include the backstory about Icky Ricky and the only place to find it is his Instagram page. 

For quite a few months now, he has apparently (remember I've been avoiding his posts) been posting about a new woman he is dating in Russia. Not too long ago, someone figured out that 40-year-old Ricky is courting an 18-year-old. He has received his visa to go visit her and posted this IG.

Boohoo, Ricky. TLC doesn't want you. I want to include a few comments, but the screencaps won't load because it says they are too big, when they are not. So, I'm cutting and pasting them.

This is Steven of Steven/Olga

frendsteven - Dude please shut the hell up about @TLC It’s pretty obvious youre butt hurt that you aren’t working with them, if you truly didn’t care at all you wouldn’t make this entire post dedicated to TLC. May I suggest you move on to the next chapter of your life. 😂

jonjwalters - Good luck- While you’re out there see if you can find anything on the bidens I could trade for green card . Cheer pal 😂😂

reyesfitnessproject - lol, ... the art of the deal.

jonjwalters - no deal . I want nothing. Nothing. I just want you do the right thing I don’t want a quid pro quo.

Tonight I learned that Ricky moved to Texas and is no longer in Ohio so we no longer have to claim him. Sorry Texas, but we still have Avery. Although, she really isn't Ricky levels of trash, so still sorry a little bit.

And sorry to everyone else who clicked "next unread topic" and landed on this page unwillingly. I miss being able to hold the mouse over that link and see what it was before clicking; it hasn't worked since the update for me.

I thought Ricky was married. Did his wife divorce him after his 90DF escapades?

[charmed1]

How old is that passport photo? Did he spray on some hair?

"Lament term?"

After falling on his sword and swearing he was going to protect this new love from the public, he posts these to his Instagram account. These are not from his account so no clicks for him.

I think she knew he was going on the show but believed him when he said it was to get work for their production company. She probably looked at the model he was to meet and was secure. After all his scummy behaviors, including sleeping with Katie Not Holmes, his wife probably called her immigration attorney and asked if she could divorce him without harming her Green Card. They had a daughter together, too. 

I went looking for a summary of his trashy behavior and found something on Reddit, which is a few posts. That entire thread was a fun read so I'm linking instead trying to embed any of it. It is more about Katie and John, though.

Still, Ricky is trash and I hope this young girl gets away from him. She's 18 and his daughter is 14. I shall now go back to forgetting he exists, hopefully. He's not even fun to point and laugh at because he's so obvious. There was no way he wasn't going to post all about his trip.

[Christina]

Poor Ricky is still unlucky in love. She didn't make the cut and wasn't good enough for him. I really hope that the attention he brought to her resulted in her getting much better offers and drop kicking his ass back out of the country.

[LilaFowler]

At this point, he's just inventing things and taking trips to get time on the show. He and Caesar can suck it, there is nothing remotely authentic about either one of them.
