Season 9 Shockers: Explosive Abuse Claims, Love Triangles, and Wedding Meltdowns Rock 90 Day Fiancé

As Season 9 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After approaches, the drama is exploding in ways fans could barely imagine. Jasmine Pineda and Gino Palazzolo, long considered one of the franchise’s most volatile couples, have taken their chaos to an entirely new level. Just weeks before the premiere, Jasmine set social media ablaze with stunning accusations. In a bombshell Instagram story, she accused Gino of emotional abuse and financial manipulation, stating she was “done playing the bad guy” for the sake of his public image. More than just a scorned lover’s rant, Jasmine threatened legal action, vowing to “bring the truth to light” in court rather than on social media. Allegedly, Gino earned double her pay for filming the show and withheld her share—something that fans are calling an outrageous injustice. But the upcoming season trailer ups the ante: Gino, lounging in a bubble bath with another woman, hints at a future beyond Jasmine. His companion, a woman eerily similar to Jasmine, seductively flirts with him as he smirks and jokes about whiskey. This love triangle explodes when Jasmine confronts the new flame at a bar, warning her to stay back before shoving her. Viewers are now left wondering—is this real heartbreak, or just masterfully produced mayhem?

Elsewhere, another trio is testing the boundaries of modern love. Annie Agira finally made her long-awaited choice between her two partners, Matt and Ammani Jalassie, and the emotional fallout is nothing short of devastating. This unconventional thruple had long faced internal struggles, but Annie’s choice to marry Matt exposed wounds that had been festering for months. In a dramatic episode titled Too Late for Love, Ammani revealed her deep-seated longing to marry a woman—seeing Annie as her chance to heal from years of repression and self-doubt. But when Annie chose Matt instead, Ammani appeared blindsided and heartbroken. The pain wasn’t just about losing a wedding; it was about losing a future she had dreamed of. To make things worse, Annie had insisted on keeping their relationship secret from her family—a betrayal that hurt Ammani deeply. With Annie seemingly favoring Matt both emotionally and logistically, Ammani’s position in the trio is looking more unstable than ever. Her body language, subtle resentment, and emotionally charged confessionals suggest she’s grappling with more than heartbreak—she may be questioning the relationship structure itself. What began as a bold, progressive love story now feels like a house of cards crumbling under the weight of secrecy, favoritism, and unmet emotional needs.

Meanwhile, Jovi Dufren and Yara Zaya, one of the franchise’s most enduring yet contentious couples, are also back in the spotlight—and not in a good way. Jovi recently dropped a harsh truth that could shift the dynamic of their entire relationship. Sharing a meme that joked about husbands always being right (even if their tone is off), he tagged Yara with a cheeky “Please admit.” But behind the humor lies real tension. Jovi has expressed growing regret over leaving Louisiana and moving to Miami—sacrificing proximity to his family, support system, and even his strip club outings, all at Yara’s insistence. In turn, he believes Yara has become too controlling. Though therapy seemed to help them during The Last Resort, cracks are reappearing. In May 2025, Jovi admitted their marriage has only gotten harder over time. Yara once warned she’d leave for Ukraine with their daughter if he didn’t shape up—and now, even with Jovi adjusting his job to be more family-oriented, the couple remains on shaky ground. Jovi’s latest post might be a joke, or it might be a cry for acknowledgment that he’s given more than he’s gotten. Either way, the tension is simmering, and fans are bracing for another blowup.

But if you thought weddings were a safe zone, think again. Aaliyah De Batista and Shawn Finch delivered what might be the most excruciating 90-Day wedding yet—despite having everything in their favor. The California ceremony was meticulously planned, with family, friends, and even Shawn’s dog Maxwell in attendance. But Aaliyah’s two-hour delay getting ready in the sweltering 100°F heat sent everything spiraling. Shawn, already frazzled by his injured mother’s pain and stress, was seething by the time Aaliyah arrived. What should have been a fairy tale turned into a nightmare. The ceremony was rushed to mere minutes, with Shawn skipping pleasantries and delivering a scathing toast later that evening. His cold “Welcome to citizenship” quip as they left the altar stunned guests and viewers alike. Despite Aaliyah’s efforts to salvage the moment, she was visibly crushed—humiliated, heartbroken, and unsure where things stood. Shawn later admitted her lack of urgency triggered fears that she wouldn’t show up emotionally when it really mattered. The wedding’s tension wasn’t just about tardiness—it exposed a deeper rift between them that may prove irreparable.

Finally, Mark and Mina’s storyline is unfolding into one of the franchise’s most tragic chapters. Since falling in love in 2019, the couple had years to prepare for Mina’s and her daughter Maria’s move to the U.S. But when they finally arrived in New Hampshire, it became painfully clear that Mark had done almost nothing to prepare. From forgetting to baby-proof the house to failing to purchase a proper car seat, Mark’s negligence outraged fans. But the most heartbreaking part? Clayton—Mina’s son from a previous relationship—was left behind in Paris due to poor planning on visas and logistics. Mina’s emotional monologues haven’t softened the blow; fans remain furious that neither she nor Mark took serious steps to reunite the family. Meanwhile, Mark has also failed to help bridge the gap between Mina and his daughter Jordan, making matters worse. The situation paints Mark not as a loving partner and father, but as someone in over his head—unprepared for the responsibilities he claimed to welcome. What began as a hopeful immigration and family reunion story is quickly unraveling into one marked by missteps, emotional distance, and growing regret.

With all these tangled relationships, broken promises, and emotional implosions, 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After Season 9 is shaping up to be the most dramatic yet. From court threats and surprise weddings to love triangles and near breakups, the cast members aren’t just chasing love—they’re navigating emotional minefields. Whether these couples can survive the storm or become cautionary tales remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure: viewers will be glued to every twist, tear, and explosive confrontation.
