Big Ed Brown, known for his drama on 90 Day Fiance, is back in the news. This time, a night out in Nashville took an unexpected turn. The 57-year-old was spotted at a bar getting a little too friendly with a group of college girls.
Popular 90 Day Fiancé blogger @SHABOOTY shared photos on X (formerly Twitter). They showed the star kissing much younger women. “Oh no! Spies tell me a bunch of college girls were out at a bar in Nashville… and they ran into Big Ed. That run-in included a kiss,” the post read. It concluded with a cheeky jab: “Hope they washed that kiss away with some Bacardi 151.”
This incident fuels Big Ed’s infamous reputation in the franchise. It raises questions about how much longer viewers-and TLC-will tolerate his antics.

90 Day Fiance: A History of Failed Relationships and Reality TV Chaos
Since his first appearance on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days Season 4, Big Ed has been a lightning rod for drama. His rocky relationship with Rose Vega famously ended after she became fed up with his degrading comments. However, Rose had the last laugh, glowing up post-breakup and documenting her happy life with her son, Prince, on social media.
Ed’s next love story played out on 90 Day: The Single Life with Liz Woods. The couple’s engagement ended in spectacular fashion on Happily Ever After? Season 8 when Ed canceled their wedding behind Liz’s back, leaving fans shocked. Despite multiple makeups and breakups—including an attempt to reconcile on 90 Day: Last Resort—their love story fizzled out for good.
90 Day Fiance: Whirlwind Engagement to Porscha Ends as Quickly as It Began
Just last month, Big Ed announced an engagement to Porscha Raemond, a 29-year-old fan he met at a meet-and-greet event in Florida. In true Big Ed fashion, the proposal came only 24 hours after they met. With no time to buy an engagement ring, Ed used a paperclip to symbolize his commitment. It was a puzzling, but on-brand, gesture for the reality star.
Unsurprisingly, the relationship didn’t last. Big Ed took to Instagram to announce the split, explaining that the engagement was “too soon.” In a since-deleted post, he admitted, “I did something impulsive… I asked this girl to marry me, but after talking to my family, I realized I don’t wanna get married. I wanna be single.” He added, “I wish Porscha the best in life.”

90 Day Fiance: Fans React to Ed’s Nashville Antics
News of Ed’s encounter with the college girls quickly spread online, with fans expressing frustration and disbelief. Many are tired of the star’s behavior and criticized TLC for continuing to feature him despite his problematic history.
“Does Big Ed ever learn?” one fan commented online. “How many failed engagements does it take before TLC pulls the plug on this guy?”
Others were concerned for the women involved. “This feels creepy, honestly. He’s 57, kissing college girls? That’s not entertainment; that’s disturbing,” another user remarked.
It is unclear if TLC’s cameras were rolling during the Nashville bar incident. Fans wouldn’t be surprised if the footage appears in future episodes. After all, as long as Big Ed’s antics attract viewers-whether they love or hate him-TLC seems determined to keep him in the spotlight.
Dear Ed & Brian:

Your physical conditions have NOTHING to do with why we dislike you.
You are rude, controlling,manipulative, and misogynistic.
In fact, your physical conditions made me give you the benefit of the doubt far too long…#90dayfiance #90dayfiancebeforethe90days pic.twitter.com/fAwW2CPwY0
Is Big Ed’s Time on 90 Day Fiance Coming to an End?
Although viewers continue to criticize Big Ed, his presence on 90 Day Fiance is hard to ignore. Each season he returns with new romantic disasters, and despite public backlash, he remains a staple of the franchise. His actions may leave fans wondering why TLC continues to showcase him, but the answer is simple: drama sells.
For now, Big Ed shows no signs of slowing down. His storylines keep viewers glued to their screens. He proposes with paperclips, cancels weddings without warning, and kisses strangers in bars.
However, as frustration grows among fans, many are beginning to call for TLC to rethink his involvement in the franchise. If the backlash keeps growing, Big Ed’s reality TV journey might end. But, knowing Ed, it likely won’t happen without one last spectacle.
