This season, Jasmine Pineda’s raw emotional expression has earned her as many fans as it has critics.

For better or for worse (actually, for better and for worse) this woman does not hold back when she is feeling some kind of way.

… Which makes it so surprising to see her being accused of lying to her fans.

Did Jasmine fabricate a story about losing her job to gain sympathy from viewers?

Before we delve into the accusation that a fan is leveling at Jasmine, a brief recap.

The 34-year-old academic and teacher spent a long time as Gino Palazzolo’s long-distance girlfriend before they met.

In December of 2020, they met for the first time, and that is what we have seen play out on Season 5.

Jasmine had, like most couples who date or are even considering dating, sent some enticing photos to Gino.

Unfortunately, Gino had used extremely poor judgment, sending the pics to an ex to “taunt” her about his hot girlfriend.

Obsessing over your ex is unhealthy. Distributing someone else’s nudes without permission is a crime in many places.

Jasmine was understandably distraught, and that was not the end of it.

As we saw on the show, Jasmine was threatened by an anonymous account, vowing to expose her nudes to the internet.

While the account remained unidentified, Jasmine and Gino assumed that it was his ex.

In February of this year — more than a year after all of this was filmed — Jasmine leveled an accusation on Instagram.

She claimed that Gino’s ex had sent her photos to the school where she had worked, leading to her losing that job.

If true, that was not just cruel — it compounded Gino’s wrongdoing and revealed the ex to be a vicious saboteur.

However, a Reddit user (seemingly using a disposable side account) claims that this is not true.

In the Reddit post, the user claims to know “people at the school” where Jasmine worked.

The redditor wrote that Jasmine was “not fired” from the “k-12 private school,” and certainly was not making $3k a month.

For the record, she never claimed to make that amount; this was simply what she wanted in support from Gino.

“She quit to move to the U.S. with her boyfriend from the US (Gino) at the end of 2020” the post noted.

The post also suggests that she and Gino may have filmed more recently than we believed, as late 2020 lockdown measures may have thrown a wrench into their December plans.

The redditor alleged that Jasmine got in trouble for “dressing provocatively and had been sent home from work over this a few times.”

Jasmine did not lose her job over this, however, in part because she was a good teacher.

It is possible that viewers are jumping to conclusions about Jasmine’s statements … but also possible that she stretched or simplified the truth.

It could be the case that Jasmine quit her job in late 2020 and had a longer than expected wait to see Gino, or figured that she was no longer employable due to the scandal (but was not formally fired).

Perhaps they simply allowed viewers to believe that it was still December when they filmed in March 2021, if that Reddit post is accurate.

It is also possible that it was editors, not Jasmine and Gino, who opted to simplify things by editing out any mention of it not being the holiday season.

We can’t speak to what is or is not true about Jasmine’s words or intentions.

However, she has since spoken about her OnlyFans career, which she is using to support herself.

We’re glad that she was able to make the best of a bad situation … no matter what that situation may have actually been.

For viewers, a week went by between when Gino Palazzolo knocked over a chair to when he and Jasmine Pineda reconciled.

For the couple, it was only a matter of hours. A lot changed for them in a very short time.

Before Gino proposed to Jasmine on Sunday’s episode of 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days, Jasmine gushed about him on camera.

She touched people’s hearts by talking about her love for him … even though she made people laugh by calling him “creepy.”

After Jasmine Pineda was threatened by an anonymous troll who vowed to leak her nudes and ruin her life, she confronted Gino.

She wanted to know if there were any other surprises awaiting her, checked his phone, and confronted him over an apparent lie.

Gino felt overwhelmed and attacked and stormed away from the table, knocking over his chair in the process.

That was all last week. On Sunday’s episode, we caught up with Jasmine, who had not seen Gino for hours.

The conversation had spiraled out of control.

Despite her misgivings about some of his behavior, she decided to go look for him.

Jasmine found Gino and took a seat next to him, and they both braced themselves for a very raw conversation.

Gino expressed to her that he felt like she attacked him again and again over old mistakes that he couldn’t change.

She reminded him that he had also lied to her, and continuing to do so made it harder to move past those mistakes.

The two embraced in a sweet hug, but it was Jasmine’s tearful voiceover, expressed to the confessional camera, that touched viewers the most.

“It’s not that I justify what Gino did,” Jasmine said.

“But he has become my best friend,” she described, “my support system.”

“And I love him from bald head to toe,” Jasmine said. “Just the way he is.”

“Weird, creepy sometimes,” she admitted. “But I also know the sweet, intelligent version of Gino.”

Jasmine declared: “If that is not love, call it whatever … but I’m not giving up on our relationship.”

After some heartfelt apologies, the two exchanged forgiveness and went back to enjoying their time together.

(Jasmine also joked to Gino that he would not want her for an ex, followed by a maniacal laugh)

They had fun … and it was all building up to this moment.

Gino and Jasmine didn’t let a little drizzle stop them.

He dropped to one knee before Jasmine, affirming his love for her.

He pulled out his ring box and proposed.

Jasmine, of course, did not know that Gino paid about as much for the ring as castmate Ben Rathbun paid the car service in the same episode.

But it was a sweet moment nonetheless.

Jasmine said yes, and the two embraced.

There had been strong hints, on the show as well as on social media, that they were together.

The lovey-dovey way that they referred to each other on social media seemed to indicate that they were together, even though they didn’t break their NDA.

And on the show, well, Gino and Jasmine did a lot of confessional interviews while seated side by side.

Jasmine did pick up on the apparent cheapness of the ring.

We are really curious to hear what she will say about Gino looking for such an inexpensive ring, since his quest was all filmed.

Hopefully, Jasmine will touch upon this at the Tell All.

Jasmine and Gino have a lot to iron out about their future (and lest we forget, all of this was filmed more than a year ago).

However, viewers were touched by Jasmine’s comments about Gino, taking to social media to give the couple a tentative endorsement.

They seem like an inescapably toxic couple who will have hard times ahead … but their love is mutual and very genuine.
