Today we will be talking about why 90 day fiancé fans think that Mahogany is a paid actress
and whether she and Ben are still together.
We will also provide some shocking news about Ben.
On 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days Season 5 52-year-old Ben traveled to Peru
to meet his 24-year-old girlfriend Mahogany.
The couple met each other only 3 months
prior to Ben traveling to meet Mahogany for the very first time.
But Ben, who has been catfished before,
said that despite the little time he knows Mahogany
his connection with her was real.
They bonded over their mutual love for God.
Despite their connection, there were some red flags.
Mahogany never FaceTimed with Ben before they met.
She only sent him two short clips of herself
Both in her clips and photos Mahogany appeared to be heavily filtered,
and she looked quite different on each photo she sent to Ben.
Moreover, Mahogany stood Ben up before,
when he planned to travel to Peru a month prior to his second attempt,
days before Ben's departure, Mahogany told him not to come
Finally, Ben was about to board the plane to go to Peru,
yet Mahogany told him not to come again,
because her father has doubts as to Ben’s intentions with his daughter.
Nonetheless Ben traveled to Lima, Peru
and unsurprisingly Mahogany wasn’t there to meet him at the airport.
The following day Ben tried to establish contact with Mahogany, even writing a poem to her
However, Mahogany failed to respond,
so Ben decided to take the matters into their own hands
and he traveled to her hometown.
Ben finally received a message from Mahogany and he set up a meeting in a restaurant,
Ben was waiting for Mahogany to come to the restaurant for hours
Surprisingly Mahogany made an appearance
90 day fiance fans noted that Mahogany does look quite different from her photos,
but she’s still a beautiful young woman.
Ben noted that Mahogany did some work on her pictures
But he didn’t mind that.
Shockingly, Mahogany also accused Ben of being somewhat of a catfish.
The viewers noted that the Peruvian woman didn’t seem to reciprocate Ben’s feelings.
As the couple embraced, Ben kept saying he loves Mahogany,
yet she has not said that she loves him back.
After Mahogany appeared in the restaurant,
the 90 day fiancé fans started to doubt authenticity of her persona.
The fans noted that Mahogany’s behavior seemed forced, fake and unnatural.
Also, Mahogany was said to have little command of the English language,
yet when she first appeared on 90 day fiancé
she wasn’t even subtitled for the most part.
The viewers started to suspect that Mahogany is a paid actress.
Some 90 day fiance bloggers also rumored that Mahogany’s appearance in an online clip was for Latin American Disney Channel
however, it is easily disproved by the Spanish speakers,
who attest it is a clip for a church youth event.
The Internet users also found a picture of Mahogany on a Facebook page of her local theatre,
which might suggest that she does have background in acting.
Moreover, later on the show Ben went to visit Mahogany at her condo,
and as he suspected, the condo is indeed a short-term rental.
90 Day Fiance Fans were able to find the place Mahogany took Ben to on Booking . Com.
Despite all the signs pointing out to the fact that the relationship is fake,
there is some evidence that apparently Ben and Mahogany are indeed a couple.
A 90 Day Fiancé fan posted on Reddit about their experience running into Ben and Mahogany at a mall in Lima.
According to the fan, when they ran into Ben and Mahogany the couple was holding hands.
The fan attached the photos of the sighting as proof.
Mahogany was sporting the same dress she wore during her first meeting with Ben.
According to the fan, Ben asked them not to share that he and Mahogany are still together
The Reddit user thinks the mall sighting debunks the rumors that Mahogany is a paid actress
They wrote,
Since the sighting, Ben and Mahogany removed their Instagram profiles.
Mahogany cited being bulliеd online,
including people criticizing her for using filters,
as the reason why she left social media.
She also blasted 90 day fiance’s Mike who allеgedly shared a meme of her she doesn’t like.
The social media break coincided with resurfacing of a shared Facebook profile
between Ben and a woman named Amy.
Interestingly, it is not the same woman he said he dated for 3 years after his divorce.
The break only lasted a week and once Mahogany came back on social media she blasted Mike again.
She shared a screenshot of Mike apologizing for sharing the meme,
saying that Ximena is dragging him bad.
Mahogany replied, “so if not for Ximena you wouldn’t apologize?”
Mahogany also clаimed that later Mike unsent the message with his apology.
Mahogany also seems to have changed her opinion on Ben
and recently she agreed with a commenter on Twitter,
who said that Ben is an opportunist who’s trying to be on TV.
Mahogany responded, “it’s good to read a message that understands what really happened”
Recently the news broke out that Ben was arrested on an OUI charge
for drunk driving and driving with a suspended license
Ben was arrested in Michigan on Tuesday, March 15.
The youth pastor, who is now 53 years old,
was taken into custody at the Oakland County Jаil and booked at 12:21 a.m., according to online records.
His bаil was set at $10,000, which he has not yet posted and he remains in custody.
TMZ later clarified that Ben’s OUI and suspended license arrest was back in 2020,
but he was sentenced in January 2021 to 18 months prоbation.
TMZ were told Rathbun was scheduled for a prоbation viоlation hearing on Feb 7, 2022
but he did not appear and the judge issued a bench warrant.
Therefore it appears that Tuesday's booking was an arrеst stemming from the bench warrant linked to the original OUI case.
Do you think that Ben and Mahogany are a real couple?
And are you surprised to hear about Ben’s charges?
