Brian Muniz, a cast member from the seventh season of 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days, has become a polarizing figure, particularly among viewers who feel he sets a poor example for people with disabilities. While it’s natural to feel sympathy and offer support to those with disabilities, Brian’s behavior on the show has led many to question whether he deserves such empathy.
Brian, who is a quadriplegic, has been accused of being entitled, deceitful, and manipulative. He uses his American citizenship to attract beautiful women from less fortunate countries, women he could only dream of dating in the United States. On the show, he expects his partner, Ingrid, a mother of two, to be his caregiver and to fully accommodate his disability. This expectation has triggered many fans, especially since Brian has hidden significant aspects of his past from Ingrid.
Brian’s troubled past includes past addictions and a criminal background. He was also married to another Brazilian woman, Francielly, during the filming of the seventh season of Before The 90 Days. An abandoned Instagram page of Brian’s features numerous pictures of him with Francielly, who works as a professional photographer in Brazil. Instead of ending things with Francielly before pursuing Ingrid, Brian complicated their ongoing divorce by attempting to hide his assets and refusing to comply with court orders regarding financial settlements.
Brian’s deceit extends beyond his marital status. He has lied about his age and the circumstances that led to his disability. He initially told Ingrid he was younger than his actual age and omitted details about how he became paralyzed. These revelations have left Ingrid and viewers questioning his integrity and intentions.
