Jasmine Pineda thought her marriage to Gino Palazzolo would unlock the American dream. Instead, she’s revealing it feels more like a financial nightmare.
In a pair of emotional Instagram Stories, the 90 Day: The Last Resort star confessed she couldn’t even afford a birthday cake for her newborn daughter Matilda. “I’m baking one myself,” she wrote. “Because I can’t afford $71 for a cake.” Jasmine also expressed shock at the American tax system, saying, “It’ll take me three lifetimes to recover financially.”
The moment felt vulnerable and raw. But it didn’t take long for fans to turn that sentiment into suspicion and outrage.
90 Day Fiancé: Where Did the Money Go?
Jasmine’s story checks out—at least partly. A few months ago, she proudly announced she was among the Top 10 Cameo Creators, racking in earnings from fans requesting personal video messages. But her momentum fizzled. She dropped out of the Top 50 not long after.
She’s shared that she now shops only at dollar stores and does beauty treatments at home. She says she “can’t afford salons anymore.”” In April 2025, she even dropped an Amazon wishlist for her followers to help buy baby essentials. The implication? Jasmine’s struggling. Badly.
Still, fans say the problem isn’t the struggle—it’s the spin.
90 Day Fiancé: “Is This a Flex or a Cry for Help?” Reddit Slams Jasmine Over Baby Bragging & Forgotten Kids
Jasmine shares her sleepless nights and moments with her daughter Matty. But the Reddit r/90DayFiance community isn’t feeling the love.
One user fired off, “I wonder when she’ll start bragging and caring about her children in Panama?” Another cut deeper: “She abandoned her kids for a green card. And now she’s online showing off her new baby like the others don’t exist.”
Others pointed out she rarely mentions her sons—or her “sister” (who many believe is her eldest child)—despite posting non-stop about Matilda. “She can at least care for them from far away,” one user wrote. “Visit them. Acknowledge them.”
And if you think that was harsh, wait for the mic drop: “Are her boys allowed to cry since she left them in Panama?”

90 Day Fiancé: Fans Accuse Jasmine of Colorism & Bragging About “Whiteness”
One of the loudest criticisms online? Jasmine’s repeated emphasis on Matty’s “blonde hair and blue eyes.”
In one live, Jasmine said she “hopes the baby gets Matt’s beautiful eyes.” And according to Redditors, that wasn’t just motherly pride—it was a calculated jab.
“Novelty baby,” one user called it. Another added, “She’s 100% bragging.”
Others dug even deeper, connecting it to colorism within Latin American culture. “Her kids in Panama have darker features,” one fan noted. “She’s never shown them off like this.”
Many users pointed out an awkward truth: Jasmine once wore blue contact lenses and favored Eurocentric beauty ideals. “Internalized racism is VERY prominent in her culture,” one user said bluntly.
And one commenter summed it up perfectly:
“It’s not that she loves her new baby. It’s that she sees her as a status symbol.”
90 Day Fiancé: “Everything’s a Show for Social Media”
Many fans think Jasmine’s baby posts are more strategic than sincere. Her finances are crumbling, and her posts feel overly sentimental.
“Is this all just a PR stunt for sympathy?” one fan questioned. “She posts these teary-eyed stories about motherhood, then asks for Amazon gifts. Come on.”
Even her no crying policy for baby Matty had fans creeped out. One Reddit user asked, “What does that even mean? Do you hold her mouth shut?” Another wrote, “Babies cry, Jasmine. That’s how they survive.”
90 Day Fiancé: Sympathy Is Running Out
There was a time when fans saw Jasmine as a chaotic, entertaining TV villain. But now? Many are saying she’s gone too far.
A woman left her kids. She lied about her pregnancy timeline and showed off her baby’s white features. Now, she wants the internet to save her from money problems.
As one fan wrote:
“She’s begging us for money while pretending to be the perfect mother. Pick a lane.”
