Rayne explains why she and Chidi were fired by TLC and won’t be invited to the upcoming tell-all
TLC has recently made significant changes to its policies regarding 90 Day Fiancé cast members. These changes come in response to controversies and negative publicity that have plagued the show over the years. The network is now adopting a firmer stance against cast members who violate non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) or are involved in domestic abuse cases, especially during seasons in progress.
One of the key catalysts for these policy shifts is Angela Deem, a longtime cast member whose behavior has been a source of controversy. Angela’s eight-year tenure on the show has been marked by several incidents of aggressive and abusive conduct, both on and off screen. Despite this, TLC continued to feature her prominently, which many fans and critics believe damaged the network’s reputation. Angela’s special treatment and continued presence on the show despite her actions triggered widespread criticism and demands for change.
The shift in TLC’s approach became evident with the case of Nicole and Mahmud Sherbany. The couple was uninvited from the Happily Ever After? Tell-All after Mahmud was involved in a domestic abuse incident. This marked a significant departure from TLC’s previous handling of such situations, signaling a new zero-tolerance policy toward domestic violence. By taking swift action, TLC aimed to send a clear message: abusive behavior will no longer be tolerated, regardless of a cast member’s popularity or storyline.
TLC has also tightened its policies regarding the enforcement of NDAs. Statler Riley, a cast member from The Other Way, repeatedly broke her NDA by spoiling her storyline with Dempsey Wilkinson on social media. As a result, she was not invited to the upcoming Tell-All, and her future with the franchise remains uncertain. This decision underscores TLC’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the show’s plotlines and ensuring cast members adhere to their contractual obligations.
The most recent example of TLC’s stricter policies involves Renee and Chiy from Before the 90 Days Season 7. Renee’s behavior, both on and off screen, led to her and Chiy being uninvited from the Tell-All. According to a screenshot posted by blogger Shabui, Renee shared on her private Threads page that TLC had cut ties with them after filming ended.
This decision was primarily driven by the negative publicity surrounding Renee, who was seen on television abusing and harassing Chiy, a visually impaired Nigerian man. Additionally, Renee repeatedly violated her NDA by posting spoilers on social media. Her public rants and accusations against TLC producers—whom she called “dirty monsters”—further strained her relationship with the network. Her actions not only violated her contract but also cast the show in a negative light, prompting TLC to take decisive action.
