90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 5 has officially and formally come to an end.
Part 2 of the Tell All special aired on Sunday, picking up right where the Tell All Part 1 left off — with Kimberly emotionally devasted by Usman.
Kimberly receives comfort and sympathy while Usman defends his call to Zara.
Up next, we get into the only couple who couldn’t meet up face-to-face, Ella and Johnny.
Ella defends having slept with a friend, and Johnny reveals that he has a ticket and is coming to see her — for real, this time.
Ben and Mahogany’s conversation ends up changing the mind of one of his closest friends, who now considers Mahogany a “victim.”
The main event is Mike and Ximena, however, and everyone on stage is Team Mike.
Oh yes, they’re back together, and she’s giving him another chance … but Ximena says plainly that she’s not in love with him.
On the 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 5 finale, viewers saw Usman call Zara.
Zara is a woman whom he used to date. “Zara” is a Sojaboy song, one that drove a wedge in his relationship with Kimberly.
At the Tell All, Kimberly saw that heartbreaking footage for the first time, and left the stage in tears.
Usman is defending his reputation, claiming that the cruel betrayal that viewers — and Kimberly — watched was an editing trick, nothing more.
On Wednesday, April 6, Usman “Sojaboy” Umar took to Instagram to describe how he recalls filming that scene with Zara.
“In season 4 of Before the 90Days everyone watched me and know how truly I’m,” he began.
He is of course referring to his ill-fated romance and marriage with “Baby Girl” Lisa Hamme.
“Now am back with @itskimberly90 in season 5,” Usman acknowledged.
“We go up and down but we always fix our problems,” he claimed.
“Yes due to the age gap I was hesitating then,” Usman admitted.
“And I don’t think I do anything wrong to care for myself before repeating my passed mistake,” Usman wrote.
“But and the end we make things work between @itskimberly90 and I,” he noted.
Usman went on: “only for me to see and hear that I called Zara after Kimberly left, that was not true.”
“The call with Zara was 5 days out 21 days after I arrived in Zanzibar,” Usman claimed.
“And I never wanted to do it,” he added.
Usman detailed that “it took me 2 hours to be convinced.”
“Despite the argument b4 making the call,” Usman added, “I blame myself for doing it.”
“But why telling the world that I make the call after Kim left???” he asked.
Usman accused: “That was never fair.”
“Look at kimberly during the shoot in Zanzibar and the recording on the tell all,” Usman instructed.
He told followers that “you will see the difference.”
Usman added: “I make her that glowing.”
“I have been good to that woman,” Usman wrote, “and she will testify that.”
He went on: “for those thinking Kimberly finance my life believe me i make more money than my woman Kim.”
“I wish Mom is alive,” Usman expressed, “she would have tell The World that Usman is a blessings to anyone around him.”
“But since kimberly knows all that,” Usman noted, “I believe that is what matters.”
He added: “I don’t need to say much.”
Usman concluded: “Pls tell my story how it’s don’t edit bcus next time I will not tolerate this “
Usman also tagged Sharp Entertainment, expressing his anger and frustration at his portrayal.
Do we know if Usman is telling the truth about when he called Zara? We don’t.
Even if Zara participates in the Tell All, it’s unclear if all of this will come to light — if Usman clarified the timeline on the Tell All stage, it could still have been edited out.
There is, however, clear precedent for the show editing footage to remove context and make cast members look worse than they are.
So many people think that the show is “scripted,” but they are mistaken — believe us, if there were a script, we’d be all over it.
The magic of reality television lies in casting, production, and editing. It sounds like Usman was probably a victim of the second and third.
Season 5 is winding to a close and we’ve all seen the 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Tell All Part 1.
Of all of the couples this season, only one could be together on the Tell All stage.
Some of them are playing details of their lives close to the vest — especially those who will be on future seasons.
But how many of them are really still together?
First up, let’s start with the easiest couple to address.
Memphis and Hamza stumbled a little early on in their relationship, as both needed to be more honest with the other.
They also have one of the biggest language gaps ever featured in this franchise, leading Memphis to use simplified language … and earning a “Cookie Monster” nickname.
Memphis and Hamza made it clear that there was more than “sexy time” between them, however.
After a lot of ups and downs and communication struggles, the two married in Tunisia.
Memphis arrived as Hamza’s girlfriend. She flew back to Michigan a married, pregnant woman.
Memphis showed up at the Tell All witha total glow-up, knockout look … and still together with Hamza.
She stood out among the other couples, as she and Hamza were the only ones who could physically sit together.
Everyone else, whether still “together” or apart, had one partner on the stage, one partner communicating through a screen.
Up next are Kimberly and Usman.
Usman has appeared on the show before, and he’s back again with yet another older American woman.
Kimberly did not want to be seen as a “superfan.” What she did want was yammy-yammy from Usman.
Despite initially treating her like a groupee — and not the kind that you sleep with — Kimberly got what she wanted.
He spent the night, they boned, and though Usman wouldn’t say “I love you” or kiss her in public, Kimberly was mostly happy.
But the season ended with her looking at a future of seeing him a few times a year, at most.
At the Tell All, Kimberly came prepared to defend her romance with Usman.
However, she was crushed when she — and her castmates — saw a clip of Usman calling and flirting with Zara.
Part 1 of the Tell All ended with Kimberly in tears … but no confirmation of a breakup has surfaced.
Caleb and Alina were a complicated couple, and not just because of their story.
The two met up in Turkey, as their friends-to-lovers story led to them meeting in person for the first time.
Though Alina’s disability gave Caleb pause at first, the two spent plenty of time in bed together.
Then, of course, Alina was fired, with the couple edited out of the rest of the season and disinvited from the Tell All.
Alina issued a public apology following her racism scandal.
Though many viewers noted that some of her critics were using a real wrongdoing in bad faith because they simply disliked her, it didn’t change her past misdeeds.
Though Alina and Caleb appear to have parted on good terms, it does not look like they are still together.
On what we saw, it looked like Caleb wasn’t prepared for a long-term romance with Alina in light of her disability.
Perhaps the ending that we saw months ago was misleading, but they are not at the Tell All to correct us.
Mike and Ximena started off as a very sweet couple.
Mike hasn’t been in a “real” realtionship since he was 14, while Ximena is a young mother of two.
The two met through Ximena’s cam work, where Mike offered to financially support her so that she could quit that job.
Despite some initial tender moments, the two turned out to be a toxic nightmare.
Ximena seemed to grow bored of Mike, picking both fair and unfair flaws … yet not quite going so far as to break up with him.
When Mike felt brokenhearted, he showed his ugly side, insulting Ximena and her family, and at one point refusing to leave her home.
Mike began to give the impression that he felt that supporting Ximena as a girlfriend meant that he owned her.
Hurt people say hurtful things, but that is not a side of Mike that many viewers will soon forget.
Add that to Mike’s racism scandal — in many ways worse than Alina’s, despite less backlash — and it was hard to feel sorry for him.
This toxic couple ended their engagement before the season ended, but a cliffhanger on the finale showed them threatening to reconcile.
On the Tell All Part 1, they confirmed that they’re back together, and there have been reports for months that Mike and Ximena filmed another season.
However, the two strongly hinted at another ugly breakup in February, and Ximena seems to already be with a new man.
Speaking of creepy men, up next, we have Ben and Mahogany.
Ben is in his fifties and believed that he was speaking to a 24-year-old, not to a 22-year-old.
Mahogany had tried to discourage Ben from coming, but he ignored her wishes and flew down anyway. This was the beginning of a pattern for him.
At first, Mahogany seemed like a total catfish, and viewers still aren’t sure what her whole deal is.
Ben dialed up his creepiness factor to new heights, repeatedly crossing her boundaries and using textbook manipulative tactics.
As the season ended, they were very much over, though at the Tell All, Ben confirmed that they had spoken the night before.
Ben and Mahogany were spotted in a mall in Lima, Peru several weeks ago, even photographed by a fan of the show.
Whether or not they were filming again, they were unwisely spending time in each other’s company months and months after Season 5 filming had wrapped.
We can’t explain his judgment or hers. Some people cannot stop making the same mistake.
Ella and Johnny were perhaps this season’s least eventful couple, as they did not get a chance to meet.
(It’s a real shame, and personally I hope that they can return for another season and meet up — they both deserve happiness)
Between the COVID-19 pandemic itself and the protections put into place, Johnny kept delaying meeting Ella, and each delay hurt more than the last.
Sometimes, even the most valid excuses in the world stop being enough after they’re used too many times.
Ella ended up sleeping with a friend, which she confessed to Johnny (for some reason, Kimberly was particularly furious with her over this).
It appears that they are still together (unless they say otherwise during Part 2), but have yet to actually meet.
Gino and Jasmine were one of the most bizarre and at times horrifying couples this season.
There is simply no excuse for how much screaming and betrayal viewers were forced to endure.
They both owe each other so much more than what they offered.
Gino leaked Jasmine’s nudes to his ex, simultaneously breaking Jasmine’s trust while proving that he’s hung up on his ex.
Jasmine would cry and scream and yell with little or no provocation — having meltdowns over the color of the walls of Gino’s house, which she has never visited.
The two ended up getting engaged despite a bajillion fights and other red flags, though Gino “forgot” to bring up a prenup.
At the Tell All, Gino declared that he had “decided” that he did not need a prenup.
Though Jasmine complained about him choosing to masturbate instead of give her his “meat,” which she craved, they are clearly still together.
Gino confirmed that they are in the K-1 visa process and that he hopes to bring her home to MIchigan soon.
90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 5 is winding to a close.
On Sunday, April 3, we saw the season finale and Part 1 of the Tell All special. A double-feature!
The Tell All was an interesting one, as only one couple could physically be together on the stage.
Some members of the cast came ready to throw down with people they didn’t like.
Others were guarded, ready to defend themselves and their relationships against all comers.
During Part 1, Gino was caught in a painful lie and Jasmine shared new, disappointing details about their sex life.
Then, it was Kimberly and Usman’s turn in the spotlight.
Kimberly saw new-to-her footage that the rest of us saw on Sunday’s night.
In the face of Usman’s betrayal, she burst into tears and quietly stepped off of the stage.
Season 5, Episode 16 of 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days was also the season finale … except of course for the Tell All.
For several couples, this was a tearful and tender episode as they said goodbye.
There were some exceptions.
After initially refusing to leave Ximena’s home, Mike finally left to spend the night in a hotel, but his complicated feelings did not leave him when he left Colombia.
Ben chased Mahogany after she walked away, driving her first into and then out of a car as he demanded that she listen to what he had to say.
Gino and Jasmine cried and said goodbye … before Gino had a chance to bring up a prenup.
With Kimberly gone, Usman called up Zara — yes, the ex with the song about her — while showing some skin.
A pregnant Memphis said a tearful goodbye to Hamza and his family, with Hamza realizing that his child might be born before the K-1 visa is granted.
Last weekend, Kimberly Menzies left without a goodbye kiss from Usman Umar, catching her flight back to the United States.
She kissed his cheek and told him that she loved him multiple times. Usman did nothing of the sort, despite PDA during the ride over.
With Kimberly gone, however, Usman reached out to his ex, Zara, to whom his song and music video were dedicated.
Despite his struggles to say the same about Kimberly, he has no problem dropping the L-word about Zara.
At the beginning of this sneak peek for Season 5, Episode 16 of 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days, Usman is searching for clarity.
“At this point, I think I love her,” he admits of the recently-promoted-to-girlfriend-status Kimberly.
“But,” Usman characterizes, “I think sometimes Kimberly wants things in her own way.”
“And if I want for us to have peace, I have to give in to her,” Usman explains in the clip.
“So,” he reasons, “I still have concern about this relationship.”
Feeling like you have to walk on eggshells and appease your partner is not a healthy dynamic, it’s true.
So Usman has decided to call up his most recent American ex, a woman named Zara.
As viewers may recall, Zara couldn’t cope with Usman’s thirsty fans on social media, so they broke up before ever meeting in person.
“Even though I didn’t meet Zara in person, I love that lady so much,” Usman tells the camera.
“But she couldn’t handle my career,” Usman recalls of his erstwhile romance with Zara.
“And,” he needlessly reminds viewers, “I love my career first than anything.”
Usman summarizes: “So, this is the reason why she break up with me about four months ago.”
That’s a reminder that most of the time that he spent talking to Kimberly was also time spent in this relationship with Zara.
Usman didn’t see it as a romance with Kimberly, allegedly, but Kimberly sure did.
That is why she was so furious with him — everyone understands that he was talking to at least two women at that time. Kimberly felt like an understudy.
When Usman calls up Zara, he very notably does not mention Kimberly.
“I came here to shoot that song I dedicated to you before you break up with me,” he says during the video call.
He then claims: “But I was like ‘Hey, wait a minute. I think I need to call Zara just to talk to her.'”
Real talk: like when Georgi chatted with Jesse on Darcey & Stacey, this feels like a suggestion made by production, but whatever.
Zara seems awkward for a while, before admitting to Usman that her mother knows “what really happened.”
She continues mysteriously: “She knows. She knows that I was hurt by it.”
Presumably, if the full episode doesn’t tell us all of that, the “what really happened” of it all will come up at the Tell All.
Usman stirs the pot, asking Zara if she misses “anything about me.”
Did we mention that he’s not wearing an undershirt for this whole conversation? Yes, more men should dress like that, but there’s a time and a place, my guy.
“I know Kimberly would not be happy with me right now calling Zara,” Usman admits to the camera.
“But I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong,” he insists.
Usman claims that he only called Zara “because I need to be sure about my future with Kimberly.” Sure.
On 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 5, Episode 15, couples were made or broken.
Mike returned from his walkabout to find a Ximena who was ready for him to leave, but Mike refused — even when she offered to pay for the hotel.
Ben responded to Mahogany ghosting him by having her meet up with him, which is where things got even weirder.
Gino braces himself for an awkward prenup conversation with Jasmine, but she has her own bone to pick with him.
It’s time for Kimberly to head home, but Usman’s last-minute denial of PDA has her feeling insecure and rejected.
Memphis and Hamza are married, but that is not the end of their exciting news.
Even after Usman Umar finally slipped Kimberly Menzies his yam, things aren’t perfect.
They had sex, they kissed, they are officially in a relationship, and they even reconciled after a big fight.
But they can’t even say goodbye at the airport without it turning into a “thing.”
This time, the problem was that Usman refused to kiss Kimberly goodbye in public. Is he ashamed of her? What gives?
As this sneak peek clip of Sunday’s episode begins, Kimberly Menzies is in tears.
No, Usman “Soljaboy” Umar hasn’t broken her heart — not yet, anyway.
Instead, she is crying because it’s time for her to leave to go home … and she’s not emotionally prepared to say goodbye.
In the car, Usman is all about the PDA.
After all, this is the same man who rested his head on Kimberly’s lap even before he was willing to kiss or sleep with her.
Once they get out of the car, however, there is a change in tone … especially after production stirs the pot.
What we don’t see most of the time on these shows is that producers ask question after question after question of the cast.
Most of the time, those questions are edited out.
Every now and then, there is an especially candid moment when viewers need to hear the prompt to fully appreciate what is happening.
In this clip, production asks if Usman and Kimberly are going to exchange a goodbye kiss.
It’s a very simple question, and even has non-dramatic applications, since they might need to set up the shot one way or another.
The answer, however, is not so simple — as Kimberly says “yes” and Usman says “no.”
After realizing that they were not going to agree, Usman explained why he was refusing to kiss his girlfriend goodbye.
“Kissing in the airport is just like a public announcement,” Usman reasoned.
Clearly, he had been listening to the concerns about public perception that his entourage members, like Badmus, had mentioned.
Usman arguably made it worse, suggesting that he has already done many things that he did not want to.
“So many things I do for you not because I want to,” he began.
Usman continued: “But because I want to make you happy.”
An unhappy Kimberly asks if they can just go to the airport.
She sounds defeated and downright angry. Perhaps a little huffy, even.
Usman notices it, pointing out that she always displays anger when she doesn’t get her way.
Kimberly insists that this (obvious change in mood which we can all see with our own eyes) is not what’s happening.
Instead, she claims that this is about concern over not being late to her flight.
However, speaking (presumably some time later) to the confessional cameras, Kimberly acknowledged her displeasure.
“This has been the experience of a lifetime,” Kimberly described.
“And,” she noted happily, “I’m leaving as Usman’s girlfriend.”
Because of that, Kimberly noted, “I should be going home happy.”
“But the fact that he won’t kiss me in public, still,” Kimberly remarked, “still, after all this time.”
She admitted that “it hurts me a little bit.”
Kimberly expressed: “It’s like, are you ashamed of me? I mean, what is it?”
They said goodbye and embraced at the airport.
Though they did not have a true goodbye kiss, Kimberly gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, indistinguishable from a familial or friendly kiss.
Kimberly also told him that she loves him, saying it more than once … without him saying it back.
“We will see soon, right?” Usman suggested awkwardly.
He then gave her a high five, of all things.
To the camera, Kimberly admitted that she is uncertain about their future because Usman “make me feel insecure.”
