On Tuesday, TLC announced the cast of 90 Day Fiance Season 10.

Almost all of the couples on the franchise’s flagship series are new. Only one — Gino and Jasmine — have appeared on the show before.

We reported on all seven couples. We know their names and little glimmers of their stories.

TLC has also released a supertease trailer ahead of the Season 10 premiere. Take a look!

Robert and Sophie

You can of course view the 90 Day Fiance supertease trailer for Season 10 below.

The tease begins with two of the season’s new faces, Robert and Sophie.

Right off the bat, we hear Robert’s priorities. Apparently, he wants a hot wife. And he’s found that in Sophie.

23-year-old Sophie is not receiving a positive portrayal on the 90 Day Fiance Season 10 supertease. (TLC)

However, we also hear Robert’s voiceover describe Sophie as spoiled or at least entitled.

Is that true? We have no idea. That’s a weird way to describe your future spouse, for the record.

As for the trailer itself, we see Sophie just … being a normal person. Especially for a 23-year-old. There are certain crowds who become riled up when they see a pretty young woman snap a selfie, but that’s their problem — not Sophie’s.

Sophie’s K-1 visa journey on 90 Day Fiance Season 10 includes experiencing her partner’s family’s economic realities, the Season 10 supertease revealed. (TLC)

It looks like Sophie is going to learn a lot about American life. And we don’t just mean that celebrity glamour and ’90s houses aren’t a realistic portrayal of our lives.

From the trailer, it seems like Robert is from a neighborhood that would give even many other Americans pause.

Will this life work for them? Because it might not be what Sophie signed up for. Especially when she learns that apparently people expect her to have a kid with Robert.

Ashley and Manuel first met in 2010. The 90 Day Fiance Season 10 supertease included a throwback photo. (TLC)

Ashley and Manuel

Season 10 will feature more than one couple who first met many years ago and have only recently reunited.

One of those is Ashley and Manuel. They met at a New Year’s Eve party in Ecuador back in 2010.

They have now reconnected and are embarking upon a K-1 visa journey together.

In the 90 Day Fiance Season 10 supertease trailer, Ashley speaks to the camera about what she has not yet told her future husband. (TLC)

The official TLC blurb teased that their years apart could lead to unforeseen rifts. But the trailer tells us much more.

First of all, they barely had time to get to know one another when they met the first time. So there is obviously a lot that they don’t know.

For one thing, Ashley tells the camera, she hasn’t spoken with Manuel about the fact that she’s a witch.

Ashley mentions that she is a witch during the 90 Day Fiance Season 10 supertease. (TLC)

Witches and witchcraft remain increasingly popular spiritual identities and practices. People of various faiths — or none — might have this label.

But it sounds like Ashley does not expect this to go over well with Manuel. Additionally, many viewers fear that editors won’t address minority religions with proper sensitivity. (Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t)

At least we haven’t seen any coverage that says that Ashley “identifies as” a witch. She’s a witch. “Identifies as” is an othering way of referring to someone 90% of the time.

Handsome Moldovan man Justin tells his lady love “don’t broke my penis” during the 90 Day Fiance Season 10 supertease. She’s not making any promises, though. (TLC)

Nikki and Justin

Right off the bat, the supertease has Justin making a lot of horny promises.

Over video chat, he vows to Nikki that he’s going to bone her into next week. Essentially.

See, the two have met before. About 17 years ago, the Moldovan man fell in love with the American woman.

Seventeen years ago, Justin and Nikki fell for each other. He ultimately rejected her. They both hope that 90 Day Fiance Season 10 can be their second chance. (TLC)

What went wrong is that, simply put, Justin ended up rejecting her because she’s transgender. It’s sad, but it happens.

These days, Justin has learned a lot. Even with anti-trans hysteria spiking, a lot of people have a better understanding of the trans community now than they did in the 2000s.

Nikki is willing to give him another chance. To the point where they are going on this K-1 visa journey.

After nearly two decades apart, Nikki is giving Justin a second chance. He is a more mature person these days. (TLC)

Some fans already worry about Nikki’s portrayal. She’s clearly a very different person than either of the trans cast members that we’ve seen so far.

It looks like the marketing department is playing up her appearance. Some fans speculate that she may have been a victim of surgical malpractice. As a somewhat older trans woman, she may have had fewer options for treatments like FFS (facial feminization surgery).

Hopefully, the show will treat her and her love story tastefully. Well, as tastefully as 90 Day Fiance can do anything.

Reunited at the airport in Michigan, Jasmine Pineda insists that Gino Palazzolo stick out his tongue so that she can … oh dear. (TLC)

Gino and Jasmine

Speaking of tastelessness, somehow, Gino and Jasmine have returned. This time, he’s not flying to Panama. She’s flying to Michigan.

It looks like they get good visa news at the end of Season 6.

At the airport, Jasmine has Gino stick out his tongue for her to suck on. That’s so much.

Clayton is an American who lives in Kentucky. Viewers got their first introduction to him on the 90 Day Fiance Season 10 supertease. (TLC)

Clayton and Anali

Clayton is from the US. Anali is from Peru.

She’s moving to live with him as they go through the visa process and get married. If everything works out.

But it looks like we can already guess some of their relationship hurdles.

Clayton lives in a small apartment with two dogs, two guinea pigs, and his mother. His mother lives in his closet. (TLC)

Clayton’s apartment is on the small side. And the decor has big “college apartment” energy. Those aren’t the direct issues.

He lives with two guinea pigs. He lives with two (small) dogs. And he also lives with his mother.

Specifically, she lives in his closet. “I found my mother-in-law living in my closet” sounds like a horror movie twist, but it could soon be Anali’s reality.

Anali asks “Is there enough space for me when I arrive?” on the 90 Day Fiance Season 10 supertease. It does not appear that there is. (TLC)

Even before leaving Peru, Anali sounds concerned about her living circumstances.

However, it doesn’t sound like Clayton has any plans to move or otherwise change his situation.

This could be a fun reversal of several past 90 Day Fiance couples — where an American’s future in-laws are way too close for comfort. But this is hardly the same situation. Again, she lives in his closet.

Devin and Nick are clearly hoping to gain his family’s support and approval, the 90 Day Fiance Season 10 supertease shows. (TLC)

We see considerably less of what Devin and Nick have going on.

He’s leaving the Australian Outback for her. But first, he needs to get the approval of his parents. Otherwise, he won’t go.

That could be a red flag or even a dealbreaker. But it looks like Devin is being very patient about it … even when she ends up in tears.

Just because some of these couples reunited after many years apart doesn’t mean that everything is going to be perfect now.

For example, it looks like Manuel is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.

If your partner sucks, your loved ones might spend time around him just to make you happy. But eventually, they’ll reach a breaking point.

Very fairly, Nikki asks Justin this relationship really makes sense. They could be repeating a mistake, or making whole new ones. (TLC)

Then there’s Justin and Nikki.

It sounds like there’s a question of whether he remains attracted to her.

She asks a very fair question: if he isn’t attracted to her, why is he with her?

Jasmine Pineda finds what appears to be a makeup applicator in Gino Palazzolo’s car on 90 Day Fiance Season 10. We’re sure that she’ll be so calm and normal about this. (TLC)

And, of course, the biggest dose of drama comes from Gino and Jasmine. They are an infinitely renewable source of nonsense.

While driving in Michigan, Jasmine finds what looks like some sort of makeup brush.

She wonders what it’s doing in his car. Then, she immediately spirals out of control.

Jasmine Pineda flies off the handle, accusing Gino Palazzolo of being “a f–king cheater” on the 90 Day Fiance Season 10 supertease. (TLC)

True to her past behavior, Jasmine flies into a rage.

“You’re a f–king cheater,” she screams at Gino.

It is unclear if there is some reason for which she believes this from what could, at most, be one clue. Most people would search for more.

Distraught, Jasmine Pineda walks away from Gino’s vehicle, crying in what is likely the coldest rain that she has ever experienced in her life. (TLC)

Wailing and crying, Jasmine gets out of the car and into the gloriously cold Michigan weather.

She wanders off. We don’t know where she’s going. And it’s not clear if she knows, either.

We wish that Jasmine were able to get on a treatment plan that could help her to address these issues. Even if Gino cheated, which is of course possible, it would not make her emotional instability okay.

90 Day Fiance Season 10 will premiere on October 8, 2023. (TLC)

The new season of 90 Day Fiance premieres on Sunday, October 8.

By the way? We love the new title card for the show.

That alizarin crimson background is much more aesthetically pleasing than the hideous firetruck red that TLC has been throwing in our faces for years.

Hollywood’s Kiss or Miss Policy: Why Saying No Got Neal McDonough Blackballed

Published

2 days ago

November 19, 2025

Bolanle Media Staff

Neal McDonough’s name is synonymous with versatility on screen — from gripping war dramas like Band of Brothers to contemporary hits like Yellowstone. Yet behind his steady career lies a lesser-known story, one that exposes Hollywood’s surprising intolerance for personal conviction. McDonough’s insistence on a no-kissing rule in his contracts, a commitment driven by loyalty to his wife and family, resulted in a devastating blacklist that nearly cost him everything.

Holding Fast to His Values

Married since 2003 to model Ruvé Robertson and a devoted father to five children, McDonough chose not to compromise on his core beliefs, even at professional cost. Rather than chase fame at any price, he set a clear boundary that he would not share on-screen kisses with any woman other than his wife.

“I always had it in my contracts: no kissing other women on-screen,” McDonough explained. “I knew what it meant for my family, for my relationship, and I wasn’t going to step over that line.”

This deeply personal stance wasn’t born out of ego or sanctimony but a desire to protect the sanctity of his marriage and the wellbeing of his family.

“My wife is my priority,” he said. “The rest can wait.”

The Cold Shoulder from Tinseltown

What followed wasn’t the Hollywood applause McDonough might have hoped for, but instead a professional exile. Industry gatekeepers reportedly rejected him from roles and even dropped him mid-production over his refusal to perform intimate scenes that contravened his no-kissing policy.

“Hollywood turned on me hard and fast,” McDonough shared candidly. “I lost everything — the work, the goodwill, my sense of self.”

Reports surfaced of McDonough being pulled from a show Scoundrels just days into filming because he declined a kissing scene. The implication was clear: in Hollywood, kissing other women wasn’t a mere acting choice; it was a mandatory rite of passage.

Courage in the Face of Pressure

Neal McDonough’s story is an uncommon example of a man standing his ground in an industry built on appearances and compromises. His ordeal lays bare Hollywood’s tendency to steamroll personal boundaries in favor of “business as usual.”

“Intimacy is sacred to me,” McDonough said. “When I drew the line, it wasn’t popular, but it was necessary for who I am.”

His wife, Ruvé Robertson, who has stood beside him throughout, expressed unwavering support for his decision.

“Neal’s integrity is why our family stays strong. It’s more important than any role, any accolade,” she said.

A Journey Back to the Spotlight

After enduring years of silence and struggle, McDonough found his footing again through key allies in the industry who respected his boundaries and talent. Notably, in the film The Last Rodeo(2025), he broke his no-kissing rule — but only with his wife playing his on-screen partner.

“That kiss wasn’t just performance; it was a celebration of loyalty,” he reflected. “I had to have my wife by my side for it to feel right.”

The Bigger Picture

Neal McDonough’s journey challenges Hollywood to rethink its rigid expectations of actors and respect individual values. It’s a compelling story of fidelity and courage in an industry that often demands conformity at all costs.

“I hope my story encourages others to hold firm to who they are,” McDonough said. “Because no role should cost you your integrity.”

Ariana Grande’s Red Carpet: When Fans Forget Boundaries

At the Singapore premiere of the highly anticipated film “Wicked: For Good,” Ariana Grande faced an unsettling moment that quickly went viral. As the pop star confidently walked the yellow carpet alongside her co-stars, an overzealous fan, identified as 26-year-old Johnson Wen, broke through security barricades and lunged at her, grabbing her in an unexpected and alarming manner. The incident was swiftly halted thanks to the quick intervention of Ariana’s co-star Cynthia Erivo, who shielded the singer until security subdued the intruder.

Known online as “Pyjama Man,” Wen has a notorious reputation for crashing high-profile events to gain viral attention. This was not his first stunt; he had previously disrupted performances by stars like Katy Perry and The Weeknd. Following the incident, Wen posted footage of himself on Instagram, captioning it,

“Dear Ariana Grande, Thank You for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You,” much to the dismay of fans who criticized his reckless behavior.

The event has sparked widespread discussions about the safety and boundaries of celebrities attending public events. Ariana Grande, who has openly struggled with anxiety and trauma following the 2017 Manchester bombing, was visibly shaken but remained composed in the aftermath. Although she did not comment directly on the incident, she expressed gratitude to her fans in Singapore through social media posts.

Billie Eilish, another major music star, was also present and later reflected on how moments like these highlight the growing challenges celebrities face as fans blur the lines between admiration and invasion of privacy.

The incident at the “Wicked: For Good” premiere is a stark reminder that while celebrity fandom can be passionate, it must respect personal boundaries, especially in high-security environments intended to protect performers. Ariana Grande’s grace under pressure and activists like Cynthia Erivo’s immediate response prevented what could have been a far more serious encounter. Still, it raises serious questions about event security and fan etiquette in today’s hyper-connected celebrity culture.

This moment underscores a larger trend where stars find themselves navigating the precarious balance of engaging with fans while maintaining their safety and dignity on the public stage.

Wendy Williams Cleared of Dementia, Battles to End Guardianship

Published

Bolanle Media Staff

Wendy Williams, the well-known television personality, was long believed to be suffering from frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a diagnosis that led to her being placed under a court-ordered guardianship since 2022. However, recent medical evaluations by a top neurologist in New York have concluded that Wendy Williams does not have this degenerative condition. This groundbreaking revelation directly contradicts earlier diagnoses that justified strict legal control over her personal and financial decisions.

The original diagnosis had been used by her court-appointed guardian to limit Williams’ autonomy and isolate her from family and career opportunities. Friends, family, and legal representatives now assert that Wendy has remained mentally sharp, articulate, and physically recovered, challenging the notion that she is incapacitated. The new neurological tests showed no signs of the cognitive decline typically associated with frontotemporal dementia, which is known to be irreversible and progressive.

As a result of these findings, Wendy Williams’ lawyers are preparing to file documents to the court to terminate the restrictive guardianship arrangement. If the judge resists, her attorney plans to take the case to a jury trial, seeking to restore her full independence. This situation has brought to light concerns about guardianship abuse, misdiagnosis, and the potential misuse of legal powers, especially in high-profile cases.

The controversy surrounding her guardianship also involves allegations from her ex-husband, who earlier sued to end the guardianship, claiming it was harmful and exploitative rather than protective. His lawsuit described the guardianship as “a weapon, not a shield,” emphasizing the lack of therapeutic benefit for Wendy Williams.

This reversal of diagnosis is significant not only for Wendy Williams’ personal freedom but also for raising public awareness about the importance of accurate medical assessments before imposing such life-altering legal restrictions. Fans and advocates are hopeful that this development will mark the beginning of Wendy Williams’ return to public life on her own terms, free from unjust confinement.

In sum, Wendy Williams’ case highlights critical issues at the intersection of health, law, and individual rights, revealing how a flawed diagnosis can lead to profound consequences, including loss of autonomy and control over one’s life.
