‘90 Day Fiancé’ star claims husband kept her money for himself: ‘He’s an abuser’

Things in the “90 Day Fiancé” universe are getting heated.

Just a day after the “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After” trailer was released, revealing all of the couples that will be featured in season 9, one star had a lot to say on social media.

Jasmine Pineda took to her Instagram stories to share some very choice words about her estranged husband, Gino Palazzolo.

90 Day fans know the Gino and Jasmine love story well. The couple has appeared in several iterations of “90 Day Fiancé,” including “Before the 90 Days,” “Happily Ever After,” and “The Last Resort.” Fans have watched the couple’s story progress when they first appeared on Before the 90 Days in 2021, which is the spin-off series that follows couples who are planning to begin the K1 Visa process, but need to either meet for the first time in person or want to determine if a K1 Visa is the right step for them.

What happened between Gino and Jasmine on 90 Day Fiancé?

Things for Gino and Jasmie have always been tumultuous, even since their very first appearance on “Before the 90 Days” aired in 2021. There have been cheating allegations, sharing of intimate photos without permission, and blowout fights. But now things have gotten more intense than just yelling at each other on screen. Pineda is claiming that her husband has kept all of the money she’s made on the series and has alleged that he is an abuser.

In an Instagram story, Pineda wrote:

“I filmed for almost two years, for Gino to get paid double and keep my part of the money for himself. Now on top of that I have to play again the role of the bad guy so people feel sorry for him and tune and root for him in single life while I have to ignore his abuse. Spoiler: He’s not actually dating Natalie. It’s just an agreement for tv. I don’t give a **** anymore.”

In a second story, she followed up with:

“I have no desire to continue playing the bad guy and lying just because He has to be protected and have likability for his next single life season. He’s an abuser and I’ll prove it not in social media but in court. Bye”

At this time, Palazzolo has not responded to Pineda’s claims on social media.

It is not shared with the public how much “90 Day Fiancé” cast members are paid by TLC. Deavan Clegg from “90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way” said online that they get paid $1,000 per episode. But it was not clear if that was per couple or per person. Pineda and Palazzolo have appeared on five seasons of different “90 Day Fiancé” shows since 2021. Each season has included anywhere between 18 to 24 episodes, depending on tell-all episode counts.

The couple will appear in season nine of “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After,” which begins airing on TLC in July 2025. Previously, fans saw them on “The Last Resort,” where the couple decided to recommit to each other and open their marriage, a request that Pineda made and Palazzolo reluctantly agreed to.

However, at the 4-part tell-all for “The Last Resort,” they arrived separately, and it was revealed that Pineda was pregnant with her third child, but Palazzolo is not the father. She had her daughter in April 2025 with Matt Branistareanu, a friend she met at the gym, and later told Palazzolo she wanted to include Branistareanu in their open marriage. The new season will follow Palazzolo looking to explore his side of the open marriage, and Pineda now living with Branistareanu after getting kicked out of her home with Palazzolo.

Season 9 of “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After” airs on TLC on July 6 at 8/7c and can be streamed the next day on Max.
