The recent episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? has sparked intense online debate after Gino Palazzolo threatened to report his estranged wife, Jasmine Pineda, to immigration authorities. This comes after Jasmine gave birth to a baby girl with her new partner, Matt Branis, leading Gino to vow that she will face “surprises” during her upcoming green card renewal.
Fan Reactions Split Over Gino’s Revenge Plans
Following the episode, fans of the show quickly took to social media platform X to share their opinions, resulting in a divided response. While many viewers criticized Gino’s actions, others commented on Jasmine’s own behavior throughout their relationship.
A significant point of contention among fans is the couple’s open marriage agreement. One fan specifically called out Gino, stating, “Jasmine didn’t cheat, Gino agreed to open marriage and he dated Natalie. Jasmine wanted to work things out before she got pregnant, but Gino refused to. He needs to stop playing the victim and stop using immigration to get revenge.”
Other fans found irony in Gino’s stance, with one noting, “Gino getting mad at the same system he want to hold Jasmine accountable is hilarious just stupid.” Another reaction highlighted the perceived imbalance in the situation, saying, “It’s honestly sad watching Gino play the victim after watching Jasmine try with him for so long. She’s not an angel & it’s not a good situation, but it’s crazy to see him actively try to tear her down like that.”
Some comments also targeted Jasmine’s character, with one user observing, “Someone said Jasmine loves being the centre of attention and I’m starting to see it.” Another added, “It’s b/c Jasmine LOVES DRAMA when it’s @ HER & to be the center of attention, whether it’s good or bad.”
Gino’s Accusations and Financial Demands
The conflict escalated in an episode titled “You Play With Matches, You Get Burned,” which featured a heated exchange where Gino demanded Jasmine return $70,000 he claimed to have spent on her. He itemized the amount to include money transferred to Panama, wedding costs, and various immigration-related fees. He accused her of using him for a green card and told her to “go back to Panama.”
During the confrontation, Gino presented a letter to Jasmine, which began by reminiscing about their early loving years but quickly shifted to accusations. He wrote, “You treated me horribly daily, and it was as so you never really wanted to be with me.” He pointed to the timing of her receiving her green card and subsequently staying at Matt’s house as “very significant,” concluding the marriage was a “f**king scam” and accusing her of “marriage fraud.”
Jasmine was moved to tears by the allegations, pleading that she had not done anything criminal and had simply married him in a relationship that did not work out. She also criticized him for causing her stress while she was carrying a child, to which Gino remained firm in his position.
Gino’s Perspective on the Failed Relationship
In a separate episode, Gino opened up about the emotional impact of Jasmine having a child with another man. After learning of the baby’s birth from a family member, he shared his thoughts with the cameras, saying, “You know Jasmine wasted four years of my life. That was the time that I could have spent with someone who truly loved me and would have been able to have a child with them.” He expressed his readiness to move forward and find someone who would truly love him.
While shopping for new clothes to re-enter the dating scene, Gino compared his ex-wife to a restrictive jacket, telling a sales executive, “I went through a terrible relationship recently. She was always trying to control me. She is a controlling person and manipulative.” He later added in a confessional, “Five years of toxicity is a lot for a relationship. But I will not let Jasmine ruin my future.” He firmly stated his belief that Jasmine used him “100% to get a green card” and vowed to do everything he could to have her deported.
Jasmine’s New Beginning and Past Conflicts
This dramatic turn of events follows months of speculation and rumors about the couple’s split. Earlier in the year, Jasmine addressed cheating rumors after an Instagram post alleged she was in a new relationship with a man she met at a Planet Fitness. While she did not use her social media to address the “nonsense gossip” directly, she has since confirmed her relationship with Matt Branis.
The couple’s history has been marked by public conflicts, including disagreements over intimacy. In past seasons, Jasmine was openly dissatisfied with their sex life, a issue she was not afraid to discuss on television. She previously explained that for her, sex was tied to feeling a connection with her partner.
More recently, Jasmine has shared a new perspective on social media, advising followers to “kill them with kindness” and spread sweetness to their critics. This new approach has led to speculation that her rumored pregnancy may have influenced her to adopt a more peaceful mindset for her mental health and the well-being of her baby.
