Hey guys!
Today we will be talking about the tea spilled by Stephanie from 90 day fiancé season 8.
As you may know, she has not appeared on the Tell All episode on this season.
As always, no explanation as to why she and Ryan’s were absent on the Tell All was provided by the production.
Just like in the past with Geoffrey and Varya, and Paul and Karine
Apparently, Stephanie was not on the Tell All, because she wasn't invited
The 90 day fiance cast member has announced on her Instagram that she’s going to have her own version of Tell All.
The Tell All was published on IGTV at 8 PM on Sunday April 11th, exactly the time the Tell All part 1 started on TV.
Stephanie called her almost an hour long IGTV video “Sofa talk”.
In her video she appeared with her friends and colleagues, who vouched for her sobriety and confirmed she received an unfair portrayal on the series.
The first guest was Stephanie’s personal trainer of 13 years, Frank.
The trainer said that he agrees with Stephanie that her portrayal on TV was inaccurate and unfair
According to Frank Stephanie isn’t doing dgs or excessively drink.
Stephanie and Frank discussed her medical issues stemming from being bitten by sand flies during the filming and her seeking medical attention in Belize and Michigan.
This was largely covered in one of my previous videos which I will link down below in the description.
After Frank left, Stephanie started to talk about her breakup with Ryan.
According to Stephanie she did send a lot of money to Ryan and his family to support them “out of the goodness of her heart”.
When Stephanie and Ryan decided to go on the show, Ryan kept demanding more money (Stephanie actually says he was bribing throughout the video, but I assume she meant blackmail).
Stephanie broke up with Ryan, yet the production still wanted to film them, and they sent a camera crew to Michigan to convince Stephanie to film.
They were in Grand Rapids persuade her for three days, and on the “Sofa Talk” Stephanie says she was basically har____sed.
Stephanie’s field producer was saying that she would become famous if she agreed to do the show,
but Stephanie only wanted to triple her business, and in fact, she did.
Stephanie said she never wanted to be famous and only agreed to do the show on the contingency that the production will show her workplace and what she does there.
Then Stephanie brought in her assistant from the clinic Pam, her cousin Shannon and her friend Rick.
Pam said that the production was asking them to repeat lines and asking leading questions to get what they wanted to record for the narrative
This was also confirmed by Stephanie's cousin Shannon
Stephanie then gets into her beef with TLC.
She explained how she had to buy 2 tickets due to missing her flight as TLC were late to the airport to go through the security with the camera equipment.
She also had to pay for extra luggage because she brought many gifts to Ryan and this part wasn’t staged.
According to Stephanie she was bored during the quarantine and did buy gifts for Ryan and his family, as she was still getting along with him.
While TLC said she would be filming 9-10 hours today in reality it was close to 15 hours according to Stephanie.
Stephanie was also very upset with TLC hiring Ryan to appear on 90 Day Bares All knowing what he didn’t to Stephanie - removing a condo_m without her consent.
Stephanie revealed she was never invited to either 90 Day Bares All or the Tell All or any other spin-off of 90 day fiance.
She said that while she did sign an NDA she never signed up for lying on behalf of TLC and they are “complete liars”, who made Stephanie look like she is taking pills or drinks.
Stephanie’s friends affirm she’s not a big drinker and what we see on the show, is just her being tired after a long day of filming and all the medications she was taking after being bitten by sandflies.
She also revealed she has a medical condition, which causes her to not be able to keep her eyes open.
When she is faced with a bright light her eyes start moving and closing, and the camera crew shined the filming lights on her for many hours a day.
Stephanie said she was forced to pretend she still loves Ryan, and she did not because he only wanted money from her.
According to Stephanie, the producers flew to Belize three days before her and were supposed to film Ryan, but they couldn’t find him, as Ryan refused to film.
Allegedly, the production printed out a photo of Ryan and were able to locate him by asking people around if they have seen the man on the photo.
Ryan was blackmailing Stephanie he doesn’t want to do the show anymore because he doesn’t understand the concept behind it, but he would agree if she gave him more money.
Stephanie then started to talk about “Harris” storyline and she said it was about 2% true.
Stephanie said that Ryan was cheating on her all the time and she only slept with Harris that one night when she fought with Ryan.
Since Stephanie knew about Harris she asked him to fill in for Ryan in case he doesn’t show up for filming.
The morning after Ryan performed “stealthing” Stephanie received calls from the production and an attorney that if she says she was violated, they’d have to cancel the shoot and she was free to leave Belize
but that would mean everyone in the crew is coming back and the storyline would be cancelled.
However, Stephanie has become friendly with the crew on site and didn’t want them to lose their gig during the pandemic.
So Stephanie decided to call in Harris to film.
But the difference between the show and reality was that Stephanie never wanted to bring Harris on a K1 visa to the USA, but encouraged him to come on a work visa and support his wife Emma and his children.
Stephanie knows Emma and Harris for 3 years now and she is confident they would never have taken advantage of her like it was shown on the show.
Stephanie still supports Emma and Harris. Allegedly Stephanie sent a huge package of Christmas gifts to Harris and his family, including a new laptop for his wife.
According to Stephanie, she reached out to her 90 day fiancé producer about reimbursement of $7,000 in expenses for her tickets and medical bills.
The production said they would only pay $2,000 and Stephanie wasn’t happy with that.
Interestingly, Stephanie claims she paid for the crew’s tickets to Belize as well as they didn’t have any company credit card with them,
because they are independent contractors and the camera man didn’t even have his own credit card due to his bad credit.
Stephanie then reads a letter from her attorney who couldn’t film with Stephanie due to a heart surgery.
Stephanie’s lawyer wrote that in his 65 years of practicing law he has never dealt with a company which wouldn’t even respond to his inquiries.
According to Stephanie, Sharp Entertainment’s lawyer Marcia Myerberg claimed that the company was willing to pay for medical assistance for Stephanie following Ryan’s “stealthing” and help her in filing charges against Ryan.
Stephanie claims this was a complete lie.
Stephanie makes an interesting point, as to why one day they would have been helping her with filing charges against Ryan and in a short time hire him for another spin-off.
I noted down a couple of more interesting facts from Stephanie’s Tell All
• Stephanie confirmed that she has hired 4 people specifically for removing negative comments about herself on social media.
• Stephanie was willing to pay $16,000 for a private plane to Belize for herself and the crew, when there were no commercial flights due to the pandemic
• Sharp Entertainment did pay for Stephanie and Ryan’s stay on the resort in Belize, but according to Stephanie the cast members pay for their own expenses such as meals and plane ticket.
• Stephanie said that one of the couples from previous seasons, whom she wouldn’t name, weren’t reimbursed for their filming for 90 day fiance for a year.
• She also claims she never controlled Ryan with money and was simply feeding his family
Some fans still don’t trust Stephanie’s story, saying the people on her Sofa Talk are not credible, because they are on her payroll.
Others are appalled as to how the situation with Ryan was handled by the production company.
So currently Stephanie is definitely not with Ryan and she still can file charges against him in Belize.
Harris is still with his wife Emma.
Also, recently Stephanie’s Bumble account was discovered. Apparently, Stephanie is currently looking for a new love interest.
