90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? has officially concluded its sixth season.
On the second and final part of the Tell All special, even more family members waded into the fray.
First, the entire cast grappled with the aftermath of Angela turning the Tell All into a Show All.
Angela went on to storm off of the set not just once, but twice.
Andrei and Elizabeth had their turn dissecting their personal problems.
This was when Libby’s family factored into things, with Charlie showing up and calling everyone “bro.”
Yara and Jovi spoke about their issues, family planning, and fan-favorite Gwen shared her perspective.
Asuelu and Kalani are at a better place in their marriage than they were.
But Asuelu’s family isn’t the only issue at play for them.
The season has ended. One couple announced that they are officially over forever.
Angela storms off
A furious Angela, having just had a breast-baring meltdown while shouting at Aunt Lydia through the camera, storms off of the set to “calm down.”
Kalani has no business being this funny
Strip clubs had already come up previously, because of Yara and Jovi’s storyline, so the material was right there. Brandon played off of Kalani’s joke well, quipping that it was different than he had expected.
Angela fumes in the elevator
In the elevator, she rants to her daughter, Skyla, for whom I feel genuine sympathy. Angela brings up how Psychic Tracy had said that a woman with an L-name was causing problems in her marriage by whispering in Michael’s ear. We are apparently meant to believe that this was Aunt Lydia.
Of course
Angela’s solution to everything seems to be smoking, to the point where only the presence of production prevented her from lighting up in the elevator.
Yara is correct
That is an understatement, if anything.
Angela returns to accuse Michael of going out to party while she recovered
Michael denied partying, but as with everything else that he says, he does, or Angela imagines him to say or do, this set off his wife into another rage spiral.
No one should be treated this way
Loudly declaring that she’s done, Angela added an asterisk — it’s not a breakup, BUT their Nigerian marriage doesn’t mean anything in the United States yet, so she’s going to live her life here, BUT maybe she’ll reconsider if his visa is approved.
Angela storms off again
That’s twice in such a short period of time. Shaun Robinson asks if that’s a record. We don’t know how much Shaun is paid to put up with all of this, but it cannot be enough.
Andrei says it
Andrei says it with a laugh, but it’s true — and what he is accurately describing is verbal and emotional abuse. People should not treat each other like this. This is especially true for partners, who claim to love one another. The way that Angela treats Michael is grueling to watch, and it is the primary reason that there has been a sizable fan campaign to get her fired from the franchise.
A class act
Having seemingly returned (again?!) to do some additional talks with production, Angela receives a call from Michael, and does not exactly act like a wife receiving a call from her husband.
She answers …
… only to scream at Michael that she is going out and she is going to flirt and get attention using her newly enlarged breasts. None of this is okay or easy to watch.
Back on set
It’s Elizabeth and Andrei’s turn to discuss their lives. Personally and professionally, things are going great — in part because no one in the family has much contact with Charlie.
So what about that babysitter for their daughter?
Libby had hired a sitter to watch Eleanor while she works from home, because — obviously — working a job and watching your child are two separate activities that simply cannot be done properly together. Andrei thinks that Libby can just magically do both at the same time if she really wants to.
Classic Andrei
Here, Andrei shows that he respects his wife just as much as he respects all women.
Kalani with the sensible take
She notes that getting anything done with a small child — and Kalani has two — is a challenge. Children are naturally energetic and inquisitive with wandering attention. You can watch them or you can get something done, but a five minute task might take two hours while attending properly to the needs and safety of a small child.
Yara is for some reason Team Andrei on this
Yara admits that she wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving Mylah with someone she doesn’t know. To be fair, Yara isn’t comfortable leaving Mylah with anyone. Also, as Libby points out, she was a nanny herself and she would only ever hire a properly vetted and trustworthy babysitter.
Now for the serious stuff
Chuck joins the Tell All, explaining how he’s still working with his son-in-law but confirming that no one really says much to Charlie. The fight at the cookout was simply too much
Libby’s sister Jenn tunes in
Jenn reiterates her feeling — Andrei wormed his way into Chuck’s heart and into the family business and is taking advantage of Chuck.
Seriously??
Andrei says, in the most menacing Moldovan accent that he can muster, that he’ll “get rid of” Jenn “slowly.” Calm down, dude.
Chuck pumps the brakes a little
He reminds Andrei that Jenn is important to his business and is not someone whom he wants to ice out.
Oh no
Charlie of course was invited to the Tell All and is already shown predicting that it will be contentious. Of course it will be — that’s why he wants to be there, and that’s why production wants him there.
“Bro”
Charlie for some reason calls everyone “bro” during this, and we’re not exaggerating when we say that he even uses it to refer to his sister. Whatever he was thinking that the effect would be, it just made him look weird, not relaxed.
So, what’s the real issue between Andrei and Charlie?
According to Andrei, it’s Charlie’s behavior, which he attributes in part to excessive drinking. Libby agrees that Charlie has an “unhealthy” relationship with alcohol. Chuck sounds like he might be in denial about it.
Enough!!
It reaches a point where Jenn has to remind her brother that, if anything, she is his “sis.” But she’s not on good terms with him, either.
Charlie resents being iced out
He doesn’t like being treated like “the toxic one in the family.”
… But he is
Andrei points out that Charlie is, in fact, the toxic one.
Jovi steps in with some common sense
The fight between Andrei and Charlie was started by Charlie — but it would not have gone down if the two of them had not been chomping at the bit to brawl with one another.
Yara has some advice for Chuck
She says that he should stop worrying about the company and his adult children quarreling, he should buy a yacht and go somewhere nice and enjoy “the young bitches” who would flock to him for his affluence. That’s not bad advice, actually.
The Tell All takes a break
Backstage, Julia tells Elizabeth and Andrei that she was stunned by Andrei’s behavior at their Moldovan wedding, namely when he gave a weird nightmare toast.
Andrei is Andrei
As Jovi said, there are two of them in this mess, even if Charlie is the instigator.
And we’re back with Michael
Shaun notes that the coast is clear and he can say what he really thought of Angela’s surgical makeover. His gripe was that her new breasts were smaller than he liked, a “problem” that he has since remedied.
Relatedly … yes, he really did nurse until he was 9
Yara goes all psychoanalytical, noting that this is why he’s so fixated on large breasts. Psychoanalysis has a lot of issues as a (widely discredited) field of psychology, but in this case? Yara’s right on the money.
Michael goes into detail
We don’t know why this happened in the first place, and that’s on Michael’s mother. But Michael was a grown man when he decided to describe all of this to the cast instead of to, say, a therapist. Yara was so stunned by his description that she cracked up and said “no” out loud.
Another understatement
Yara noted that a 9-year-old would be a “big baby,” which of course cracked up Michael.
As for Yara and Jovi’s big strip club fight
Yara reveals that this was actually their anniversary date. So they went from their anniversary dinner to a strip club, and when Yara wanted to leave, Jovi seemingly ignored her and blew a kiss at the topless woman who was dancing for them.
Jovi thought that it would be fun
But Yara is just at a different point in her life because she’s a parent now. She can still have fun, but that wasn’t fun for her — and honestly, what nursing mom would have fun at a strip club watching her husband gawk at a fit naked body that hasn’t just given birth, of a woman who isn’t nursing. How could Yara have gone there and not compared her post-baby body to these women?
Gwen tunes in
Jovi’s mother is a fan-favorite, and she’s also a favorite of Yara’s. Gwen is totally Team Yara and makes that clear. She loves her son but he has some growing up to do, she says. Jovi needs to get out of the mindset that he was just on the boat so now he should treat himself at bars and strip clubs. Now, she says, he was just on the boat FOR his wife and daughter, so homecoming needs to also be about them.
Jovi admits that it’s been a tricky adjustment
Actually, he says “adaptation,” but I don’t know anything about repairing underwater pipelines so I can overlook Jovi stumbling over diction. Point is, Jovi is still learning the ropes to fatherhood.
Ronald chimes in to agree
Of course, if Ronald thinks that your journey as a new parent is relatable, that might be a red flag, because Ronald’s inability to take responsibility and act with maturity has been a real problem in his marriage.
That said, Gwen does note that Yara has some growth to do
Gwen can totally understand why Yara is so attached to Mylah — pointing out that she had and raised a baby during COVID-19 and did a lot of that alone. But she knows that Yara and Mylah will both need a bit of independence over time.
Do Jovi and Yara want more kids?
The two get a little awkward after Shaun asks the question, when Yara reveals that it has been a while since she had her period. Gwen asks if Yara is pregnant, but Yara has not taken a test.
If she is pregnant …
Yara shares that if that were to happen, she’d want to return to Ukraine to get help from her mom and feel more comfortable where she’s living. This wouldn’t mean leaving Jovi — they are married and they love each other. Jovi works internationally, so what would happen would be that he would just come “home” to Ukraine instead of to Louisiana.
But don’t count your eggs before they hatch
Yara has not taken the test yet (perhaps because she is afraid of positive results) but notes that hormonal fluctuations, especially as a new mother, could account for a couple of missed periods. For many peoples with uteruses, the 28-day cycle is basically a myth.
Moving on to Kalani and Asuelu
Asuelu speaks of his dream for Kalani to move to Samoa for a few years to “see what Samoan women do in the family.” In Samoa, he says, women take care of the kids and clean the house while the men go out and hunt or fish. His goal is transparently obvious, and no one thinks that this is an innocuous cultural exchange.
Tiffany says it
Though she is clearly speaking carefully in order to avoid insulting an entire culture, what Asuelu describes is misogynistic. Cultural bigotry can be a real problem, especially on 90 Day Fiance. But when someone is insisting upon gender roles — especially gender roles that benefit them — it’s perfectly correct to call it out for the self-serving brainrot that it is. Tiffany isn’t disparaging Samoan culture, and it’s arguably Asuelu who is presenting it in a negative light.
If Asuelu wants to provide meals, why not do that already?
Asuelu attempts to explain that he’s accustomed to cooking in firepits in Samoa, and sometimes he presses the wrong button on stoves — which gets laughed off by everyone, including Shaun. That is not an excuse, my dude.
Kolini arrives!
Kalani’s fan-favorite sister had not heard of Asuelu’s desire to move to Samoa but isn’t worried, because Kalani thought so little of it that she didn’t even tell her own sister. Kolini also isn’t worried about Asuelu successfully pressuring Kalani into it. A vacation might happen; a permanent move, Kolini is confident, will not.
But Kalani isn’t the only one with family there
Backstage, Tammy and Lesina — Asuelu’s sister and mother, whom he has not seen since he forcibly removed them from Kalani’s parents’ house — are ready for a rematch. Well, Tammy is, anyway.
Tammy is, like, obsessed with her mom
It seems like she uses “standing up for Lesina” to try to justify her own aggression, and it’s not clear where the actual aggression comes from.
Yara has some sense
Just as she accurately described Angela, she also identifies that Tammy is going overboard.
Tammy threatens Yara, too
Tammy loves to threaten people with physical violence. Kalani, Kolini, and now Yara. A real class act.
Asuelu explains why he removed them
There’s a lot of hand-wringing over whether he “pushed” them out (as Kalani notes, he carried them out) during the Christmas debacle, but at the end of the day, they were making a scene, and if he hadn’t taken them out, it would have been much worse.
Their behavior was not okay
The pressure to have more kids was partially his fault, but Lesina took it too far — especially when she demanded that Asuelu get a new wife. And that was before the yelling and standing up began.
Enough with the baby demands
Asuelu dreams of a life with seven children, but it’s Kalani’s uterus. They have two very small children. Lesina needs to respect Kalani’s choices about her own body.
The divorce demands really hurt
They had already been through this once before. It hurts for his mother to just casually throw away his marriage as she repeatedly suggests that he do.
Tammy says that remarriage makes sense
After all, she argues, Kalani “doesn’t want to have kids.”
Doesn’t she, though?
Asuelu counters that they already have two kids. Seriously, WTF is Tammy talking about? Tammy also rambles about “who will take care of them” when they’re old, but if that’s the reason that you’re having children, well, it’s the wrong reason.
Natalie is inexplicably Team Lesina
Natalie has a very close emotional bond with her own mother. Sometimes, people who get along very well with their parents cannot understand bad parents or see them for what they are.
Tammy is SO done with Asuelu
However, backstage, Lesina — who says almost nothing the entire Tell All — laments that Asuelu is simply “weak.” She sounds open to forgiving Asuelu for loving his wife.
Also, can we get some closure on Mike and Natalie?
They look eye to eye and officially confirm that their marriage is over, truly.
Okay, wow
Even after months and months of Natalie living elsewhere in the country, Mike had held out hope that they might get back together … but that hope died when Jovi revealed that Natalie had come to dinner in New Orleans with another man. What a way to wrap up the season.
