The 90 Day Fiancé franchise has been going strong for the last ten years. Throughout the past decade, the franchise has aired dozens of seasons of many different spin-offs. Of course, this has led to fans getting to know hundreds of cast members from all around the world. As the show revolves around Americans who date a foreign partner, about half of the cast is generally from overseas. When it comes to diversity, 90 Day Fiancé beats just about any other reality television show.
While every individual cast on 90 Day Fiancé has to complete a background check, producers don’t always catch everything. Throughout the show’s history, several cast members have been fired after problematic content from their past resurfaces. On the other hand, others have been let go of for behaviors they took part in after filming. Several cast members seem to have been fired but were never confirmed by the franchise. These are all of the 90 Day Fiancé cast members TLC has fired, both definitively and allegedly.
Fired by TLC: Lisa Hamme
Lisa Hamme was fired from the franchise following her appearance on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days Season 4. During Season 4, Lisa married her ex-husband Usman Umar. The marriage didn’t last long, however, and the former couple had a messy split. Usman then revealed that Lisa had called him the n-word on numerous occasions, which she didn’t deny. As a result of the inappropriate racial slur, TLC fired Lisa and cut ties with her immediately. This was important, as it showed that TLC doesn’t accept any form of racism whatsoever.
Fired by TLC: Geoffrey Paschel
Geoffrey Paschel is another controversial cast member from Before The 90 Days Season 4. During Season 4, Geoffrey traveled to Russia to meet his girlfriend Varya Malina. While Geoffrey’s segments with Varya aired, the couple was later excluded from the Tell All. After the season, disturbing details from Geoffrey’s past began to emerge. In particular, Geoffrey was the defendant in a domestic abuse case involving his ex. Geoffrey is now in prison, where he is serving an 18-year sentence.
Fired by TLC: Alina Kozhevnikova
Alina Kozhevnikova was featured on Before The 90 Days Season 5 with her former partner Caleb Greenwood. The pair had been friends for years but never officially dated. After meeting in person, however, Caleb decided he couldn’t commit to Alina. While viewers saw a lot of their story, it was later cut short due to Alina being fired from the franchise. Several racially insensitive comments Alina had previously made were uncovered on social media and TLC fired her instantly. Neither Alina nor Caleb participated in the Season 5 Tell All.
Fired by TLC: Larissa Lima
Larissa Lima appeared with her ex-husband Colt Johnson on both the OG show and 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?. From the jump, Colt and Larissa had a problematic relationship. Eventually, Larissa was even arrested after Colt claimed she had committed domestic battery. This wasn’t the reason for her firing, however, as she still filmed for some time after this. Larissa was later let go of by TLC after joining the adult streaming website CamSoda.
Fired by TLC: Brandan DeNuccio and Mary Demasu-ay – Allegedly
TLC never confirmed that Brandan DeNuccio and Mary Demasu-ay were fired from the network. However, fellow 90 Day Fiancé star Statler Riley insisted that they were. Following their appearance on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 5, Brandan and Mary spoiled their relationship status online. The couple shared pictures confirming they were still together and of their daughter Midnight, who hadn’t yet been born on the show. This seemingly violated their NDA, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if they were fired.
Fired by TLC: Nicole Sherbiny and Mahmoud El Sherbiny – Allegedly
Nicole Sherbiny and her husband Mahmoud El Sherbiny are another couple who were allegedly let go by TLC. The couple first appeared on The Other Way Season 4 and later went on to star on Happily Ever After? Season 8. Before the premiere of Season 8, news broke that Mahmoud had been arrested for domestic violence against Nicole. The couple’s story aired for a few episodes but later stopped mid-season. As neither Nicole nor Mahmoud participated in the Tell All, viewers began to speculate that they may have been fired.
