Brittany Banks Twerks on Instagram: I Don’t Give AF About Yazan!

On 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, Yazan’s brother has confirmed that his life is in danger because of his relationship.

That is why some fans are so livid with Brittany for her tantalizing booty display. Is she trying to make things worse?

“Perfect workout jumpsuit for my morning twerk out to jagged edge,” Brittany Banks wrote on Instagram.

In the video post that she shared over the weekend, she added: “Idk why but jagged edge makes me twerk.”

Though the post was an apparent product endorsement, all eyes were on the video itself — which we have included in this post.

In the video, she does exactly as she describes: she twerks.

Twerking is a fascinating interaction of physics and biology, something that some people even find sexy.

Brittany is clearly skilled at the dance. Twerking is an art form, and she is an artist.

But some commenters were nothing short of furious with Brittany’s display.

“Now I wonder why they wanted to kill Yazan,” one remarked.

Another commenter exclaimed: “So her man really gonna die now after his dad sees THIS.”

What these worried commenters are referring to is recent aspects of Brittany and Yazan’s storyline.

Here in the latter half of Season 2 of The Other Way, Yazan has received threats.

It is feared that his family could inflict violence upon him if he does not break things off with Brittany.

Though cameras recorded Yazan’s father appearing to make a threat, translators online have cried foul at TLC.

They say that Yazan’s father’s words were an expression said in anger, equivalent to someone in English lamenting “I forgot to thaw the chicken; mom’s going to kill me.”

What Yazan’s dad actually did was kick Yazan out of the house, rendering him temporarily homeless, and fire him from his job.

However, more recent statements from Obaida, Yazan’s brother, make it apparent that some of Yazan’s extended family have made more literal threats.

In fact, these seem to be the same individuals who have been raising a stink over Brittany’s totally innocuous bikini photos.

These unseen malefactors are the same ones who worked up Yazan’s dad into a frenzy in the first place.

Yazan’s family’s outrage is not representative of Jordan as a whole.

The nation of Jordan has bikinis, Instagram influencers, bars, legal alcohol, and more.

But Yazan’s conservative family wants to keep Yazan firmly entrenched in their ways … which means that they see Brittany as a threat.

As Obaida explained to Brittany, there is no easy fix for this.

She cannot simply claim to convert to Islam to silence his family’s threats.

Brittany is visibly devastated by the impact that Yazan’s decision to be with her has had on his life.

We mention all of this to explain why some commenters seem to believe that Brittany is being reckless with Yazan’s safety.

But we should note that what we’re now seeing was filmed so long ago that it’s pre-pandemic, with no mention of COVID-19.

Since then, Brittany has dropped numerous hints that it’s over, at one point writing and deleting a comment in which she said “I’m divorced.”

If Brittany and Yazan were still together, her decision to twerk might lead to him being in danger if he were back in Jordan and his family are truly willing to get violent.

But even then, that would be their fault, not Brittany’s.

As it is, how much do they really care about what dance moves Yazan’s ex-girlfriend does?

90 Day Fiance The Other Way: Brittany Learns Yazan’s Life is in Danger

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way‘s second season is winding to a close.

On Season 2, Episode 21, multiple stars and their parents and in-laws found themselves not seeing eye to eye.

First, Ariela’s mom all but begs her to come home with her before her own departure.

Sumit invites his parents, planning to tell them his wedding plans, but they only agree to the visit because they want to take him away from Jenny.

Deavan and Jihoon get the apartment ready before Deavan’s parents visit.

Tim gives Melyza news that could mean the heat death of their relationship.

And Brittany meets with Yazan and then with his brother, this time with a translator.

This is how she finds out exactly how dire things are … and that Yazan’s life has been threatened.

1. Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre

Ariela weinberg takes janice to the airport
Once again, it’s time for Ariela tot ake her mother to the airport. Janice is reluctant to go and leave her daughter and grandson behind, especially after witnessing the conflict with Biniyam’s family.

2. Janice is alarmed

Janice weinberg is more worried now than ever before
To the camera, she confesses that she’s more worried about leaving Ariela behind now than she was before, when Ariela was pregnant.

3. She begs Ariela to speak her mind

Janice weinberg implores ariela to reconsider voice any doubts
“Honestly, do you really want to stay here?” Janice asks before she departs. “You gave up a lot to come here. If you have any doubts, don’t hide them. Let them come out…We will help you in any way that we can.”

4. Ariela insists that it’s worth it to live as a family

Ariela weinberg made these sacrifices to live as a family
“I would cry if I weren’t just so exhausted,” Ariela admits. “Am I making the right decision about where to live? I don’t know. But I definitely want Avi to be with his father. That’s no question.”

5. Another early morning

Ariela weinberg up early for the baptism
It’s the day of the baptism (if you’re keeping score, this is the billionth thing on which Ariela has stated her preferences and then caved to Biniyam), and they are up in the pre-dawn darkness.

6. This is SUCH a big deal to the Shibre family

Biniyam shibre so the babys christening is very important
While Biniyam’s sisters appear to have a literal belief that this baptism is the only thing that will keep baby Avi from eternal torture, at times it sounds more like Biniyam simply does things because his family expects it and he hasn’t really considered doing things another way, because he seems to find behaving other than expected to be ridiculous. That said, we’re seeing this through the lens of the camera.

Brittany Banks: I Can PROVE Yazan Was Lying to His Family!

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way star Brittany Banks has shared a lot about her relationship struggles with Yazan.

Now she is exposing texts from Yazan that prove that he was lying to her and to his family.

There’s no question that Brittany Banks is getting the “villain edit” this season.

She’s not alone, of course, but production and editing seem determined to make her out to be a reckless fool who refuses to listen.

While Brittany certainly has her issues, labeling her as the bad guy in her story seems to be ignoring a lot of what we have seen.

Brittany Banks hears herself badmouthed in another language

From the first episode, it was very clear that Yazan was telling his family one thing and Brittany another — and none of it was true.

Tension when he realized that they would finally meet drove him to outbursts and controlling behavior, trying to suddenly mold her into what he had described.

Of course, Brittany didn’t understand what was going on and was still herself, which only enraged his parents.

yazan abo horira tries to silence brittany banks

Parental pressure is of course no excuse for Yazan’s behavior, but it does explain it. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

Some fans have suggested that Brittany just ignored everything that Yazan said and was determiend to do her own thing.

But the texts that he has allegedly sent to Brittany show that either he had very different ideas for their life together than his family did, or he wanted her to think that.

“We were talking about you,” Yazan writes to Brittany in an alleged text message.

“He was telling me how to deal with you,” he continues, “when you come.”

He follows that by a string of laughing emojis.

Yazan Abo Horira texts exposed by Brittany Banks

This screenshot was posted to Brittany Banks’ Instagram.

It has since been deleted.

Whether she deleted it on her own or at TLC’s insistence, Brittany clearly wanted fans to know what Yazan is like in their personal messages.

Yazan Abo Horira dad - and this is a big deal for us

What can we glean from these texts?

That he was giving Brittany a wink-wink, nudge-nudge about his family’s expectations.

Yazan wanted to keep his family happy but kept assuring Brittany that, in their own lives, she could continue to be herself.

Yazan Abo Horira dad - look at this! (lol)

That much has been obvious to anyone really paying attention to the show.

If Yazan wanted to marry a girl of whom his parents would approve, he might have married a girl from a conservative family in Jordan.

Instead, he chose a bikini-wearing American rapper and model. He wants a Western life for Brittany and for himself.

Then, when confronted by his angry parents, Yazan would turn around and lash out at Brittany, blaming her for his problems and demanding that she change.

She was so confused and bewildered on screen because he was sending her constant mixed messages.

Yazan was a man with a foot in two worlds — his family and Brittany — and unwilling to make a clean break from either.

Yazan Abo Horira responds to very bad news

The best advice for someone in his situation to do is probably just to ghost his family.

At this point, it’s not about Brittany, but about any woman he might want to be with.

And that woman is not Brittany anymore. Between her exposing his messages like this and a boatload of other clues, it is clearly over.

90 Day Fiance The Other Way Recap: Ariela’s Baby Will Go to HELL!

This season of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way is winding to a close.

On Season 2, Episode 20, Sumit and Jenny get good news.

But is Sumit getting cold feet?

Kenneth and Armando explain to Hannah that they have not yet been allowed to marry.

The contents of the formal, government document that they receive are shockingly homophobic.

Tim and Melyza are both feeling good after his mom’s visit.

But Tim has a confession … at least, this time, it’s not cheating.

Deavan is excited about her family coming to visit … but Jihoon is fearful.

Ariela’s parents tour her “luxurious” apartment and try to talk to her and Biniyam about why they need a larger home.

Biniyam’s sisters get into a heated confrontation with her and her parents at dinner, even though Ariela has agreed to the baptism — shocking her parents.

And last week, Brittany had drunk-dialed Yazan who came to pick up her and her friend Angela … who is truly worried about her friend’s choices.

 

1. Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh

Jenny slatten and sumit singh i need to find out from the lawyer
Jenny and Sumit start off having a bit of a disagreement. While they’re in Delhi, Jenny wants to see what they can do to get married. Remember, the clock is ticking on her visa. Lockdown has been lifted (we don’t know which stage of “unlock” it was, but our guess is that this was from early in the summer of this year) so they’re able to leave the house.

2. Speaking of which

Jenny slatten receives some sort of anti covid amulet
Sumit gifts Jenny what we can only describe as some sort of amulet of protection against COVID-19. It looks like a lanyard. If it were a religious thing, we’d say “okay cool, they’re also wearing masks and washing hands and social distancing so it’s no problem,” but it’s unfortunately fake science, so we should call it out. These cards obviously do not work as claimed. They do not create a magical bubble around you to repel COVID-19. They may contain chlorine dioxide, which is toxic to humans and which will not prevent the spread of COVID-19. The only thing that you could wear around your neck that would prevent a virus from infecting you would be something radioactive enough to kill any virus near you and also, well, you. Jenny is very diplomatic about the snake oil pendant that Sumit has gotten for her.

3. Sumit wants to figure out their next move

Sumit singh so we have to figure out each and every point
Jenny is impatient while Sumit — motivated in part by his desire to not lose contact with his parents — is dragging his heels, but they resolve to speak to an attorney.

4. Good news!

Sumit singh how could we marry
The attorney with whom they meet acknowledges that under the Marriage Act, Sumit’s parents can object, there is a lengthy waiting period, and there are a number of possible expenses.

5. But there is another option

Sumit singh attorney now if you want to get married fast
He suggests the equal and opposite to what we in the US would call a Vegas wedding — getting married in the Arya Samaj Mandir.

6. This would cut through the red tape

Sumit singh attorney get married in the arya samaj mandir
Basically, they would go and could get married almost immediately. There would be a religious ceremony, but Jenny would not have to convert (I’d heard that an Arya Samaj marriage entailed that the couple is usually Hindu, Jainist, or Buddhist, but I’m not going to try to second-guess an Indian marriage attorney), and so long as everyone involved is of sound mind and an adult, no one has any legal authority to object.

Brittany Banks Purges Bikini Pics: Is She Back with Yazan?!

When fans last checked, Brittany Banks appeared to have dumped Yazan … without coming right out and saying it.

Except … now she’s purging her bikini pics from Instagram, just like Yazan’s family wanted. Are they back together?

Brittany Banks reiterates that she is NOT his baby

Yazan Abo Horira promised Brittany Banks that, even if she came to marry him, she could continue to live her life as before.

But actually, given his conservative family’s views, that was not the truth.

Yazan’s lies have caught up with him, and we have all seen his life fall apart at the seams for refusing to dump Brittany.

Yazan Abo Horira father threatens to literally murder him

There is absolutely nothing funny about the threats, even if they were not as literal as they seemed, that Yazan has faced.

They are not Brittany’s fault. Nothing excuses the way that Yazan’s father has been reacting.

However … to American audiences, Yazan’s dad’s fixation (in and of itself) on innocuous Instagram photos is kind of hilarious.

Yazan Abo Horira dad - look at this! (lol)

He holds out his phone to Yazan’s brother Obaida in one episode, saying “look at this!”

Well “this” is a random bikini photo of Brittany, a sight that wouldn’t make most of us bat an eye.

Instead, Yazan’s father has chosen to allow it to tear his family apart.

Brittany Banks shows the photo that caused such a stir

This isn’t about Jordan — none of the conflicts that Brittany and Yazan have faced have been because of the country.

The country of Jordan has bars, legal alcohol, and yes, it has bikinis and Instagram influencers.

This has always been about Yazan’s family’s conservative expectations … and Yazan’s lies to both sides to try to keep everyone happy.

Yazan Abo Horira to Brittany Banks - you're so cute

On the show, we’ve seen Brittany wear a hijab to meet Yazan’s family and to visit a mosque for educational reasons.

She has repeatedly told him that she is not going to convert — not to Islam or anything else, on the grounds that she does not want any book telling her how to live her life.

But her most recent social media activity has fans wondering if Brittany has dramatically changed her tune.

Brittany Banks mosque visit

This week, Brittany’s fans have noticed that almost all of her photos are gone.

Once, there were countless pics of Brittany flashing her booty to the camera, usually wearing bikinis.

Now, not a single bikini can be seen on her Instagram page. Did she get back with Yazan?

Brittany Banks IG - five photos remaining

Well … probably not.

As you can see above, the five remaining Instagram posts may not feature bikinis, but she’s not exactly covering up, let alone wearing a hijab as Yazan’s family would want.

It seems more likely that Brittany has just decided to reshuffle or rearrange her Instagram posts on a whim, as so many famous beautiful people do.

Angela arrives, chats with Brittany Banks

One aspect of Brittany’s story has gotten praise recently from fans and viewers: her friend Angela.

Angela has a good head on her shoulders. She’s a strikingly beautiful woman but she is alarmed by how toxic Brittany and Yazan’s relationship has begun and feels uncomfortable with it.

Angela represents what many feel is the common sense that both Brittany and Yazan have been lacking since day one.

90 Day Fiance The Other Way Recap: Brittany Banks Drunk Dials Yazan!

Season 2, Episode 19 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way showed a lot of clashing with in-laws, both on and off of the screen.

Biniyam is so, so nervous to meet Ariela’s dad, but first his sister is giving Ariela a hard time.

Deavan and Jihoon reveal their recent and tragic heartbreak.

Jenny and Sumit prepare for a major step when disaster strikes.

Tim and Melyza pick up Tim’s mom, who’s had friction with Melyza for some time.

And Brittany’s friend gets a front-row seat to her ongoing conflicts with Yazan … and Yazan’s overbearing family.

1. Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre

Ariela weinberg holds baby avi at home
Ariela and Biniyam have settled into a rhythm, but it’s not one that’s making Ariela happy. She’s home alone with the baby al lot while he’s working, and she would rather have him around more to help.

2. Biniyam has a solution … sort of

Ariela weinberg visited by wish and artemis
His sister, Wish, and family friend Artemis show up to visit Ariela for an on-camera chat. Ariela doesn’t have the best relationship with Biniyam’s family, but it’s mostly nice.

3. Ariela gets a lot of random visits

Ariela weinberg would prefer a little more privacy
We’ve had our frustrations with Ariela (especially with her inexplicable 180 on last week’s episode), but she’s very relatable — as a fellow Millennial — here. People just show up at her house and she does not love it. We’re reminded of that “so people used to just open the door whenever somebody knocked? Now I understand why there were so many serial killers in the ’70s” social media post from years ago. Text before you visit someone.

4. The visit isn’t all nice

Artemis teases ariela weinberg with biniyams taste
Wish and Artemis both seem to feed Ariela’s insecurities about Biniyam’s job. We’d love to believe that this is production meddling, because it’s not very nice to remind a new mom about how hot the people her boyfriend works with are.

5. They’re preparing for Ariela’s parents to arrive

Biniyam shibre i want to fix this toilet
They had hoped to be there for the birth of Avi, but he was born early via emergency C-section. Apparently Ariela has been going without a toilet seat, like Hannibal Lecter being punished by Dr. Chilton, and Biniyam is only now fixing it so that he doesn’t disappoint her father.

6. Ariela’s insecurities jump out

Ariela weinberg is feeling insecure
She wants to see Biniyam’s phone, which causes some tension (and is a weird request — I will never understand those couples who, with or especially without permission, look through each other’s phones).

Brittany Banks: Yes I Dumped Yazan! I Love Being Home in Florida!

Brittany Banks has been posting and deleting strong hints that she dumped Yazan and is now single.

Now, she’s making it clear that not only is she not with Yazan, she’s back home in Florida.

Brittany Banks has a lot of stirred up emotions/second thoughts

Brittany’s family’s dog, Max, has shown up on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.

He’s a sweet, precious dog who clearly missed Brittany and hated that she was away.

Well, Max is no longer unhappy, and you can see why:

Brittany Banks snuggles with dog Max on IG Stories

Brittany shared a video to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday.

The rest of us may be on the edges of our seats waiting to find out the fate of this election and also the world, but Max is blissfully content.

He is resting his adorably doggy head on Brittany as she soothingly pets him. You can watch that full video here:

Quite the balm for the restless soul, right?

It also defies belief that Brittany would be posting in November 2020 a video of her dad’s dog somehow with her in Jordan.

The only reasonable conclusion to draw is that Brittany is at home in Florida where her father lives.

Brittany Banks hugs dad Gregory goodbye

This sweet video with Max seems like a more innocuous way of letting fans know what’s going on.

Because Brittany’s previous “hints” have been … pretty blunt.

She recently told followers that she was divorced, a comment that was followed by her deleting all of her comments.

Brittany Banks IG - I'm divorced, Yazan knew the whole time

She also revealed in that same now-deleted comment that Yazan had known the truth about her divorce situation the whole time.

They only kept it a secret so that his family would not be upset.

Clearly, Brittany has different priorities than appeasing Yazan’s super-conservative relatives these days.

Brittany Banks packs her bags for Jordan

Fans are falling over themselves with relief that Brittany appears to no longer be with Yazan.

It’s not that no one likes these two stars or wants them to be happy.

It’s just that together, the two seemed to be a very toxic couple.

Yazan Abo Horira texts Brittany Banks - I made an accident for you

Some of that toxicity is purely Yazan’s doing.

From day one, he played both sides against the middle.

He told his family that Brittany was willing to convert to Islam. He told Brittany that she could continue living her life as his wife.

Yazan Abo Horira texts Brittany Banks - car accident pics

While many Muslim women have no issue living their lives as Brittany does, Yazan’s family sees things differently.

They have tried to ruin Yazan’s life, even threatening him with violence over his relationship with Brittany.

But there are some parts of this couple’s problems that stem from both of them.

Yazan Abo Horira accusatory voice message for Brittany Banks

They way that they fight and argue is, quite frankly, unacceptable. It should be a dealbreaker from any couple, 90 Day Fiance or otherwise.

The way that Yazan spoke to Brittany, blowing up over a bottle of tequila and a hug, should have been the end of their relationship then and there.

And quite frankly, they both blow up at each other, in person and over text, in a way that is not healthy for any human beings — especially two who claim to love each other.

Brittany Banks: I Don’t Blame Yazan’s Dad for Threatening His Life!

In late October, Brittany Banks seemed to confirm dumping Yazan Abo Horira, hinting that she was single and ready to “mingle.”

The two previously seemed friendly, but now it looks like Brittany has been defending Yazan’s family’s violent threats.

Yazan Abo Horira - things have gotten worse with my family

On Sunday’s episode of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, we got a firsthand look at Yazan’s family.

Previously, we had heard him tell his friend about his woes — being kicked out of the house, being fired from his job by his father.

This time, we saw him meet up with his brother, Obaida.

Yazan Abo Horira hugs his brother Obaida

Obaida related the family’s “concerns” about Brittany’s Instagram photos.

In addition to spreading the rumor that she is also a porn star, they were fixated on her social media presence.

Yazan had to explain that, well, Brittany is a human being so of course she continues to live her life.

Yazan Abo Horira - Brittany is a human being just like us

Yazan is still advised by his younger brother to dump Brittany because “she” (their parents) are turning his life upside down.

Cameras then follow Obaida as he meets up with his dad to discuss the situation.

His father confesses that this has been weighing on him day and night … but not for the right reasons.

Yazan Abo Horira dad - I fired him from his job

He doesn’t regret firing Yazan or making him temporarily homeless. He just hates that none of this worked.

By his own admission, he is obsessed with what others — from relatives to neighbors to strangers — think about his son’s love.

As if showing some sort of damning image instead of an innocuous bathing suit pic, he holds up Brittany’s “scandalous” Instagram photo.

Yazan Abo Horira dad - look at this! (lol)

We said this before, and we’ll say it again: this image needs to be a meme.

Yazan’s father continues to share his gripes, both with Obaida and with the camera.

It sounds like he is unlikely to budge.

Yazan Abo Horira dad - and this is a big deal for us

Notably, Jordan has Instagram influencers, models, and bikini-clad babes.

The country has undergone many reforms in recent decades (though non-marital sex is still illegal), particularly with regard to women’s rights.

The issues that Brittany is facing are not the result of “not doing her homework,” but of Yazan misrepresenting his conservative family.

Yazan Abo Horira dad - your father will kill you

Yazan’s chickens — in this case, lying to Brittany and to his family about each other before they met — have come home to roost.

On camera and while speaking to Obaida, Yazan’s father straight up says that he will “murder” Yazan if he remains with Brittany.

Though translators have said that this is an expression with parallels in English, those are still some very strong words to say.

Yazan Abo Horira father threatens to literally murder him

Whether or not TLC is playing translation games to drum up tensions is kind of moot.

Because Obaida does relay the information to Yazan.

Word for word, he shares Yazan’s father’s alarming threat.

Obaida to Yazan Abo Horira - he will kill you right away

Yazan obviously does not like what he is hearing.

Does he follow his brother’s advice, capitulate to his family’s demands, and dump Brittany?

She is back in the US, so he will likely never have a better time for that.

Yazan Abo Horira responds to very bad news

Instead, Yazan resolves to stick with Brittany, hoping to force his family to accept them.

Many believe that Brittany and Yazan’s toxic relationship not only is doomed, but should be doomed — people who speak to each other like these two do should not be together.

Additionally, Brittany has now been telling people that she’s divorced, though she has since deleted those comments.

Yazan Abo Horira - I am doing the impossible to save our relationship

Why did we just recap all of that? Because it sheds new light on Brittany’s previous statements.

Back in June, Brittany claimed: “I do love Yazan’s parents. I don’t know exactly where his parents stand.”

“I can’t speak for them and I won’t speak for them,” Brittany added.

Brittany continued: “But I will speak to say I love them and I do think they try their best to deal with the situations at hand with their experiences and their lifestyle.”

“I think they’re just doing the best they can, and I don’t blame them,” she expressed.

“And that’s their son, 100 percent,” Brittany concluded at the time, “so that’s their baby and I understand all of that.”

Was she just trying to be nice to Yazan’s parents at the time? Because that interview sounded like they were married.

In retrospect, she made all of those glowing statements about how she doesn’t “blame them” and “that’s their baby” months after they threatened his life.

Maybe Brittany was being diplomatic … but after seeing that scene, it’s hard to reconcile with Brittany’s previous statements.

Brittany Banks: I Dumped Yazan! I’m Ready to Get Laid Again!

On this week’s 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, Brittany Banks finally got divorced … a process she had hidden from Yazan.

Now, however, Brittany has claimed that Yazan knew about this the entire time. Of course, she’s also majorly hinting that it’s over.

Just last week, Brittany Banks was lashing out at trolls who accused her of using Yazan Abo Horira for fame.

She reasoned at the time that, had she just wanted to be famous, she’d do so by boning a rapper or an athlete.

At the time, we noted that some of her comments and posts, entertaining though they were, might be at risk of breaking her NDA.

90 Day Fiance stars are not allowed to “spoil” the endings of their seasons … at least, not if they can help it.

Court records are public, which often means that we get to peek at marriage licenses, divorce filings, and restraining orders before the season airs.

But some of Brittany’s posts have really seemed to be crossing the line in what TLC would allow a star to intentionally reveal.

Yazan Abo Horira and Brittany Banks Apartment 03 of 03

That must be why Brittany has purged comments from so many of her recent photos and videos on Instagram.

Rather than go through and manually delete her slips of the tongue, she has opted to simply deactivate commenting entirely.

That’s no fun for fans, but it makes sense — why give your haters a place to attack you if you’re not allowed to clap back?

Brittany Banks and Yazan Abo Horira pinky swear

As a result, we only have these screenshots taken by a fan to preserve of some of Britney’s most recent slips of the tongue.

One of Brittany’s followers recently commented with a question, asking is “she single now?” under one of her posts.

Brittany, as is her tendency, impulsively overshared.

Brittany Banks IG - I'm divorced, Yazan knew the whole time

“I’m divorced,” Brittany revealed.

Though we know that she divorced her ex, it looks like she is revealing that she married Yazan only to divorce him, too.

“And ima be real since im tired of y’all,” Brittany continued.

Yazan Abo Horira to Brittany Banks - you're so cute

Brittany then claimed: “Yazan knew I was still married.”

“He just knew his parents would be mad if I was honest about it on the show,” she explained.

Brittany then continued: “bc he didn’t wanna wait to be with me…”

Yazan Abo Horira walks with Brittany Banks

That seems to imply a number of things.

First, that Yazan did a little fakery for the cameras, which … is nothing new at all.

We’ve all seen Brittany claim that Yazan was a virgin, for example, in order to keep up appearances with Yazan’s family.

Yazan Abo Horira ultimatum - like, you have three days

Perpetuating another fiction sounds like no big deal, especially since people pretend to first learn about things all of the time on reality TV.

(Seriously, how many times do you think that Kardashians really first hear about something in a phone call on camera, and not via text or tweet like everyone else)

But that’s not all that Brittany is saying if you look closely.

Yazan Abo Horira - I have to be careful

In addition to appearing to say that she is divorced from Yazan (not that she spelled it out, of course), she’s signaling something else.

Does she no longer care what happens to him?

We already know that Yazan faces real consequences from his controlling, conservative family for trying to live his life and experience personal freedoms.

Yazan Abo Horira father threatens to literally murder him

So how unhappy with them would they be to learn that he knew that she was married the entire time, even if her marriage was only on paper?

Which means that even if it’s not true (though it is very believable), Brittany seems to be setting him up to get an angry earful from busybody relatives.

That seems to indicate that things did not end happily for them.

Brittany Banks IG - it's cuffing season

Brittany shared another post that suggests that she is single and ready to “mingle.”

“Welcome to the season people are about to regret misunderstanding you,” reads a post that Brittany shares to her Instagram Stories.

The post continues by including the words “cuffing season.”

In case you are unfamiliar, “cuffing season” is when some people seek out short-term relationships so that they can enjoy getting some nice boning during the cooler months of the year.

There’s a cozy “let’s curl up in a blanket and bang by the fire” vibe to it.

Folks, this isn’t what you write if you’re just horny but in a committed relationship, generally speaking. It really does sound like Brittany is totally over Yazan.

90 Day Fiance The Other Way Recap: Brittany Banks is Finally Divorced!

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way is still bringing a mix of drama and cultural education to viewers … but mostly, it’s drama.

On Season 2, Episode 17, the biggest news for a few stars had less to do with their current loves and more to do with divorcing their exes.

Brittany is still back home in the US, but she wants Yazan to straighten up his act before she returns.

Jenny and Sumit are feeling amorous, but a dose of reality kills the mood as Sumit prepares for court.

Deavan accompanies Jihoon for an awkward day of work before his “surprise” for her crushes her dreams.

Kenneth and Armando bring Hannah back to her new home! But it’s a big adjustment for all of them.

Ariela and Biniyam return home to be greeted by a live goat that is killed in front of Ari, and that’s just the beginning of their drama.

Brittany is still in the US, but has dared to do what most of us would not — traveled to Florida — because she missed her father and some of her friends. Though she and Yazan have not spoken as much recently, they are calling to check in.

2. Brittany Banks has bought herself some time

“Before I go back to Jordan for good, I told Yazan that he needed to show me that he’s an independent man and find a place for him and I, and he needs to make enough money to send me a plane ticket,” Brittany explains to the camera. She then admits: “Conveniently it has bought me the time I need because it is taking him some time to get all of that together, and my court date for my final divorce hearing is next week.”

3. Yazan misses her

Yazan abo horira you make me so crazy brittany
His life has turned upside down and it’s unclear how much of that he has shared with her. So far, Brittany has been financing their life, but she wants him to prove to her that he is independent and can support her, so she wants him to rent an apartment for them and earn enough to pay for her ticket. Yazan is working as a taxi driver and as a barber. Brittany notes that she is accustomed to being treated to shopping sprees, but is not demanding this of Yazan.

4. A passing stranger compliments Brittany

It’s a compliment, not a catcall. It’s the sort of thing that would make most people feel good about themselves for the rest of the day.

5. Yazan flips out

Yazan abo horira youre sick you cannot wear this shirt
He scolds her for wearing the dress that she’s wearing, shaming her for her outfit. This is not the first time that Yazan has flipped like a switch from lovey-dovey to controlling and scolding.

6. This did make us laugh

Yazan abo horira you must like boobs to show everybody
But for most people, this kind of behavior on his part — both controlling and sudden emotional shifts — would be at least a red flag if not a dealbreaker.

Brittany Banks: If I Wanted to Be Famous, I’d Dump Yazan for a Rapper!

Right now, Brittany Banks is getting a lot of blowback from 90 Day Fiance viewers.

After all, Yazan Abo Horira lost just about everything over his continued engagement to her.

The vitriol that is being hurled at Brittany is even worse than it was at the beginning of the season.

People went from attacking her over their baseless assumptions about Jordan to now blaming her for Yazan’s father’s reaction.

Yazan lost his job and his home and feels like he has lost control of his life out of love for Brittany.

But Brittany isn’t the sort to take nonstop, vicious criticism without clapping back.

So, in Instagram comments, she is doing just that.

She is also acknowledging that a lot of the hate that she is getting is rooted in racism, misognyny, and in their fusion — misogynoir.

“Girl, I’m Black,” Brittany tells one fan on Instagram.

“And as a Black woman,” she continues, “you know the world enjoys seeing us fail or being hurt or talking down on us.”

“It is what it is,” she acknowledges to the supportive follower.

“It’s real sad,” Brittany says in another comment, “but that’s the world we live in.”

She is all too aware of how much hate she is getting, and she expected some degree of it.

Brittany then expresses: “thank god I’m secure and happy in my life.”

“Sit your pick me ass down,” she hilariously tells a hater who accused Brittany of just seeking fame.

“I had 324k before the show,” she says, referring to her Instagram followers.

She then demands that the troll “be quiet boo.”

Another troll accuses Brittany of specifically using Yazan in order to become famous.

“Girl shut the f–k up,” Brittany’s reply begins.

Though that is likely all that such an accusation deserves, she did not stop there.

According to Brittany’s assessment, “nobody on TLC is famous.” At least, not by her standards.

“If I wanted to be famous,” she explains, “it would be off a rapper or athlete I dated.”

Brittany says that she would seek fame by dating someone who was already well known, “not Yazan’s ass.”

“And when the Tell All comes on,” Brittany declares.

“I hope I get my apology from every single woman who attacked me and judged my character,” she expresses.

Sadly, she likely should not hold her breath for that.

The fact is that 90 Day Fiance has a real problem with both racism and misogyny — and also one with xenophobia and other bigotries.

It’s not just that a set proportion of reality TV viewers hold horrible views and have a lot of ignorance about things, though that’s part of the problem.

It’s also that the show’s editing — for drama, for storylines, to cast certain people as “villains” or “unreasonable” — time and time again reinforces these negative biases.

Brittany is not the first woman of color on whom the show has painted a target for hateful trolls to attack. She also will not be the last.

Very few of us would make the same decisions that she has made (the way that Yazan spoke to her when she arrived should have been a dealbreaker, period), but they’re her decisions.

The people who feel so furious — as if she were ruining their lives by making mistakes instead of just potentially messing up her own — have some soul-searching to do.

Yazan Abo Horira Kicked Out of Home, Loses Job Over Brittany Banks

On this week’s 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, we learned how much Yazan lost over his family’s disapproval with Brittany.

Watch in this clip as he discusses how he lost his home and job over his refusal to end the engagement.

Yazan abo horira to brittany banks yeah i miss you babe

“Since Tiffany went back to America, I’ve been going through some difficult times,” Yazan tells the camera.

He continues, admitting: “I don’t know what to do.”

For this reason, he goes to visit his friend, Mohammed, on Season 2, Episode 16 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.

Yazan abo horira maybe shes lying to me

“After Brittany left, I sat down with my father,” Yazan relates to his friend.

“We sat down,” he describes, “and he started talking about Brittany.”

Yazan continues, grimly revealing: “He said he is not accepting of the whole marriage.”

Yazan abo horira ive been going through some difficult times

“He doesn’t want it,” Yazan laments. “He started asking about social media.”

See, one of Yazan’s relatives scoured through Brittany’s social media history and found perfectly normal photos of her wearing things like bikinis and halter tops.

Though clothing like that exists in Jordan, too, it is clearly considered scandalous by Yazan’s deeply conservative family.

Yazan abo horira he is not accepting of the whole marriage

Instead of just asserting that it’s Brittany’s body to show off however she sees fit and that the photos are tame and not unusual, Yazan argues a different case.

“Those are old pictures, Mohammed,” Yazan notes.

“He started telling me that she’s playing with me,” he shares, “she doesn’t want to marry me.”

Yazan abo horira he started asking about social media

Of Yazan’s family, he adds: “They feel that she is just lying to me.”

While it’s true that Brittany is lying to Yazan, she wasn’t lying about her desire to marry him. 

It’s just that her living her life is unthinkable to Yazan’s conservative dad.

Mohammed to yazan abo horira if you see it that way leave her

But Yazan’s father told him that if he still wants to marry Brittany, he can no longer work for him at the fish market.

He also kicked Yazan out of the house.

Yazan lost his home and his job and Brittany has no idea that it even happened.

Yazan abo horira father threatens to literally murder him

“I spent the first night at my uncle’s,” Yazan reveals. “After that, I had to stay on the street for two days.”

“Then I rented an apartment and looked for work,” Yazan shares with his friend Mohammed.

“I don’t talk to anyone,” he adds. “I spend time alone. I swear, Mohammed, this has been the most difficult, truly the most difficult time I’ve been through.”

Yazan abo horira i have to be careful

Ultimately, Mohammed and Yazan agree that Yazan is the only one making sacrifices in their relationship.

This is not the case, of course, but it matches the story that Yazan shared.

Where they disagree is what to do about it. Mohammed suggests that Yazan dump Brittany. Yazan counters that he is madly in love with her.

Sometimes, love isn’t enough, and Yazan and Brittany have both deceived each other in ways that should be dealbreakers.

Additionally, the way that Yazan spoke to Brittany on the first night of her arrival, all by itself, should have been the end of this relationship. Unfortunately, it was not.

But we know that we can’t make relationship decisions for Brittany or for Yazan. Sadly, Yazan’s parents don’t seem to have gotten that memo.

90 Day Fiance The Other Way: Yazan Gave Up EVERYTHING for Brittany

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way is not holding back when it comes to Season 2 drama.

On Episode 16, we see Ariela undergo her emergency C-section.

The friction between Ariela and Biniyam’s fundamental disagreements isn’t going away, however, even as she recovers from surgery.

Armando and Kenneth see how Armando’s family is reacting to their engagement news, especially little Hannah.

Tim and Melyza sleep together for the first time since he arrived. It was great … and then everything goes downhill.

Deavan and Jihoon are settling into their new apartment and looking to finally have a real wedding.

Brittany speaks to her family about the situation, omitting some key details so that they won’t worry. They’re worried anyway.

Meanwhile Yazan’s family has turned his life upside down. He has lost everything for Brittany, he reveals.

1. Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre

Ariela weinberg hears i cant wait to see him janice
Ariela went in for a normal ultrasound only to find out that she would have to undergo a C-section that very day. It is absolute nightmare fodder. With Biniyam there for emotional support, she also calls her family. Her mom, Janice, assures her that it will be okay, that the family will come out to see her, and that she cannot wait to meet her grandbaby.

2. But obviously, she’s still frightened

Ariela weinberg hears dont cry okay
Giving birth is frightening and painful enough on the due date. A C-section is major surgery, which always carries risks, and Ariela is understandably overwhelmed.

3. Biniyam gets weird

Biniyam shibre with vaginal birth the love for her child is stro
He shares that his family and community have taught him that a natural vaginal birth is somehow more pure or loving than a C-section and that it helps the mother and child bond. This is not an Ethiopia-only mindset; you can find plenty of people spewing insulting brainrotten nonsense in the US, too. Delivery methods have nothing to do with how much a mother loves her child.

4. Dude, no

Biniyam shibre thinks that surgery is less painful
Biniyam also thinks that having surgery is less painful??? Just because you’re asleep for it doesn’t mean that they are not cutting through the wall of your abdominal muscles and then slitting open your uterus to remove a whole baby. It’s giving birth — there’s no fun or easy option.

5. Ariela is having such a hard time

Ariela weinberg is uncomfortable and crying before surgery
She has to stop crying and shifting so that they can put her under. Oh this was so hard to watch. Like, you wish that her mom could just teleport there to hold her hand.

6. Finally, she was under

Ariela weinberg goes under for c section
Obviously, we didn’t see the gruesome details of the surgery. It might have done Biniyam good to see it, to be honest.

90 Day Fiance Fans to Brittany Banks: Returning to Jordan is NUTS!

On the midseason premiere of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way Season 2, Brittany Banks returned to the US from Jordan.

But even though she’s not divorced yet, she plans to go back to Jordan. Fans say that this is, well, bananas.

Brittany Banks reminds everyone of why she's there

Seeing Brittany arrive home in Chicago was a breath of fresh air for many viewers.

It was a break from the yelling, the lying, and the ultimatums that she had faced in Jordan.

Plus, she got to see her mother and tell her some of what she had been going through with Yazan and Yazan’s family.

Brittany Banks picked up by her mom

Brittany’s mom reminded her that Yazan absolutely has a right to know that Brittany is still married, albeit only on paper. Brittany agreed.

Her mother also expressed dismay that Yazan’s family was pressuring her to convert to Islam.

Brittany is not a religious person, and her mother could not imagine why someone would want to marry her daughter only to try to force her to change.

Brittany Banks mom - if he doesn't want to marry you ...

Brittany’s actual purpose behind the visit to Chicago was not, as she had claimed to Yazan, to see her sister’s baby — not entirely, anyway.

Her real goal was to answer an unexpected court summons over her divorce.

Brittany was hopeful that she would be able to be granted her divorce and return to Jordan, with Yazan and his family none the wiser to how last-minute the divorce truly was.

Brittany Banks is still legally married and must start all over

Alas, it was not to be.

Brittany’s divorce was not granted. In fact, some sort of clerical error apparently meant that Brittany had to restart the process from square one — all for a man she hasn’t seen in years.

There was no good news for the rapper and model … and clearly, that is just the beginning of her drama.

Yazan Abo Horira - I have to be careful

Brittany is about to return with no divorce to show for it.

She has tried every move to stall the wedding — one that Yazan’s parents wanted to happen just days later.

It took Yazan and his uncle’s urgent pleas to convince his family to give Brittany a month or so before the wedding. That extension may do her little good.

Yazan Abo Horira father threatens to literally murder him

Additionally, it looks like Brittany will return to find that Yazan is in a whole mess of trouble.

Whether it’s Brittany’s Instagram photos, delaying the wedding, or something worse, Yazan appears to be in physical danger now.

And unless this is backlash from Brittany’s lie about her divorce … whatever threats he’s receiving may be partially the result of his own actions.

Brittany Banks IG - Yazan made it seem like he was Westernized

Obviously, no one should receive death threats, especially for literally any of the things that have Yazan’s family unhappy, be it Brittany’s photos or her hesitation to dive headfirst into a marriage.

Should Brittany and Yazan break up? Yes — because Yazan’s yelling and cursing at Brittany when she arrived should have been an automatic dealbreaker, period.

For that matter, Brittany’s own tendency to blow up Yazan’s phone and “give him an earful” is inexcusable. Relationships should never be toxic.

But as viewers have observed and Brittany herself has said, Yazan was not honest with her or with his family.

On the one side, he was telling Brittany that she can live her life in Jordan as before in most ways, which is in many ways true for Jordan as a country.

At the same time, he was assuring his parents that Brittany would convert to Islam and change her lifestyle, as this is the only way that they would accept the marriage.

Brittany Banks IG - he made me feel it was okay, then he switched up

The problem with trying to please both sides by saying whatever they want to hear is that, eventually, it’s a nasty shock for all parties involved.

Yazan had Brittany convinced that he was totally “Westernized,” but even if that is the case in his heart, his attachment to and fear of his family clearly prevents him from living his authentic life.

As a result, he has panicked and issued ultimatums to Brittany. It seems that he only told her what she wanted to hear until she actually arrived.

90 Day Fiance The Other Way: Sumit’s Parents Will NEVER Accept Jenny!

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way went on midseason hiatus weeks ago.

Now, Season 2 is back and picking up where we left off.

Sumit lays out his case to his parents, begging them to accept Jenny.

Kenneth and Armando go to pick up Hannah, where Kenny will meet Armando’s family for the first time.

Brittany’s lies are catching up with her even as she returns to Chicago for a court summons that she hopes will put her marriage behind her.

Melyza realizes that she has to come clean with Tim about what she did while the two of them were “on a break.”

Ariela gets scary news and will need emergency surgery to save her and the baby.

1. Jenny Slatten and Sumit

Jenny slatten waits nervously
Sumit has gone to speak to his parents, and though they are allowing themselves to be filmed for the first time, Jenny is very much not invited. She sits and waits nervously.

2. Sumit makes his case

Sumit as you know i am living with jenny
He speaks to his parents about how much he loves Jenny and wants to be with her. Remember, they’ve been a couple since, what, 2013? This was filmed before the COVID-19 pandemic hit and possibly even in late 2019. That’s six years of a relationship.

3. They can’t ignore her

Sumit you cant see her as a separate person
Sumit explains to them that simply wishing that she were out of the picture is not going to work. She’s not an outsider or an interloper. She is the love of his life.

4. Unfortunately . . .

Sumit mom i will never accept jenny
“I will never accept Jenny,” Sumit’s mother insists. They agreed to his divorce and are paying for it, but they cannot get past the age gap.

5. Society won’t let them be together

Sumit why do we have to accept that
Sumit very correctly asks why society’s ideas about young men (relatively young; he’s in his 30s) marrying older women should rob him of his happiness. He’s right.

6. This is deeply depressing

Sumit dad we cannot change our society
His father fatalistically says that they cannot change society. That kind of attitude is a recipe for misery — accepting society’s judgments without pushing back. Plus, societies change all of the time. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, often for both at the same time in different areas. A key part of that is people being brave enough to live their lives.

Brittany Banks: I’m Not a Fool for Moving to Jordan, Yazan LIED to Me!

The return of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way Season 2 is nearly upon us.

That will mean a lot, including diving back into Brittany Banks and her contentious relationship with Yazan Abo Horira and his family.

Fans continue to have a lot of questions.

Why would she go to a country that (fans seem to believe) outlaws all of her favorite things?

Why didn’t she just get a divorce years ago and spare herself this headache now?

Why all of the lies? Why didn’t she expect Yazan to act like he has and issue the ultimatums that he has?

Brittany is answering all of that and more:

1. Brittany and Yazan have their share of issues

Yazan abo horira and brittany banks deleted photo
Brittany is speaking up to correct people who think that she just blindly moved to another country. But before we get to her series of comments, here is a brief recap of her struggles with Yazan and his family in the first half of Season 2 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.

2. Things aren’t quite what people assume

Brittany banks and yazan abo horira by the dead sea
Contrary to what a sizable number of 90 Day Fiance fans have decided to believe, alcohol is legal in Jordan. There are bars in cities. Some restaurants serve it. Public intoxication is discouraged but that’s about it. And yes, as you can see in this photo, Brittany and Yazan can have fun in Jordan while wearing very little. There are Instagram influencers in Jordan, too — which is how Yazan’s conservative parents know about them.

3. But …

Brittany banks does not understand what she did wrong
At times, Brittany has been straight-up not having a good time. Some fans have mocked her suffering, saying that she “should have known” before moving there. Some viewers have spouted straight-up ignorance about Jordan, Islam, and more in an almost gleeful game of “gotcha.”

4. But if it’s not Brittany or Jordan at fault …?

Yazan abo horira does not respect brittany banks
That first night showed us who the cause of Brittany’s repeated frustration, tears, and misery in Jordan was. Yazan yelled at her, screamed obscenities at her, and straight up told her that he did not respect her. Why? She brought a bottle of liquor, which is legal, into the country, and she hugged a producer.

5. This moment was unforgettable

Yazan abo horira tries to silence brittany banks
Yazan repeatedly trying to shush Brittany, saying “hallas, hallas, hallas” (meaning “enough” in Arabic), lives in our minds rent-free. Any amount of yelling or obscenities should probably be a dealbreaker for a relationship, but certainly this should. Many of us cannot imagine showing anyone who did this the time of day.

6. Even the next day

Yazan abo horira tells brittany banks you were crazy
Yazan had the audacity to say “you were crazy” to Brittany, who had done nothing but arrive and then cry as she was being YELLED at by the man she planned to marry.
