Ariela Weinberg, one of the most controversial cast members from 90 Day Fiancé, can’t catch a break—and it’s not just about her relationship with Biniyam. From Instagram to Reddit, fans have made a hobby out of ridiculing her appearance.
“It’s become an inside joke to compare her to Quasimodo or a Who from The Grinch,” one user pointed out in a viral post. And sadly, they’re not exaggerating. Scrolling through the 90 Day Fiancé subreddit reveals many posts. These mock Ari’s natural looks. At the same time, they criticize other cast members for getting plastic surgery.
As one commenter put it, “She’s not my type, but at least she looks human. She’s attractive for that bunch.” Another said, “I think she looks… normal? I’d take normal over the plastic surgery freak show a lot of them are becoming.”
It begs the question—why is this OK?
90 Day Fiancé: Shaming Ariela Weinberg While Calling Men Shallow
Let’s be real: If a male cast member ever said the things Reddit and Instagram say about Ariela, he’d be canceled on sight.
And yet, in the same spaces where Ariela is ripped apart for not looking “TV pretty,” the same women turn around and bash men on the show for being shallow or “only dating hot foreign women.” The contradiction is glaring—and fans are starting to call it out.
“Why is it OK to create posts just to mock her looks?” the original Reddit thread asked. “It’s hypocritical and gross.”
Another fan chimed in, “The same people who shame Ari also wonder why Darcy and Stacey can’t seem to stop getting plastic surgery.”
One commenter nailed it: “It’s a sad cycle. People bully them for looking natural. Then they get surgery. Then people bully them more for that.”
90 Day Fiancé: Fans Defend Ariela Weinberg and Call Out Misogyny
The post sparked a firestorm, with many defending Ariela and taking aim at the toxic double standard on the sub.
“She was the ONLY NORMAL WOMAN on that show,” wrote one passionate user. “She looked so pretty all throughout the season. Her hair is golden silky & I love her fashion sense.”
Another added, “Even if she is on the plastic surgery train now, can you blame her after all the bullying?”
One top comment got hundreds of upvotes: “The comments about Darcy in season 1 were ruthless! Now everyone says she ‘looked better before’—but those same people were dragging her back then too.”
Fans also pointed out how selective the outrage can be. “Certain women on the show are protected. If you say something about them, you’ll be attacked. But it’s like Ari is fair game.”
90 Day Fiancé: Ariela Weinberg’s “Crazy” Edit: Did She Deserve the Hate?
Let’s be honest—Ari has had her dramatic moments. But many fans now believe her portrayal on The Last Resort was more about production manipulation than real personality flaws.
“She didn’t continually instigate drama or trash talk the others,” one fan said. “She was just… there.”
Others believe her emotional breakdowns were a result of deeper issues. “She was terrified of becoming a twice-divorced single mom in her mid-30s,” one Redditor explained. “That’s fair, honestly.”
Another made this emotional observation: “She wasn’t mad about a piggyback ride—she was mad about the cheating. It was giving Natalie ‘Take me to Veyagas!’ energy.”
90 Day Fiancé: Bini, Cheating, and the Fallout
And yes—there’s more context behind Ari’s behavior. According to multiple fans and leaks from the Tell All, Biniyam allegedly admitted to cheating on Ari.
“She wanted to be validated. But instead, she got edited to seem crazy,” one user wrote. “Why TF didn’t they call out Bini for cheating?”
People were quick to point out how “likeable” male cast members often get a pass, while women are villainized for reacting emotionally. “Bini is a man-child,” one comment read. “He just does as he wants because everyone coddles him. Ari was the only one who held him accountable.”
90 Day Fiancé: Sophie, Jasmine, and the Cycle of Shaming
It’s not just Ariela. Fans mentioned other cast members like Sophie and Jasmine who also face constant body shaming. “They shame Sophie for her looks, then shame her again for photoshopping,” one user said. “Which apparently makes her worse than the abusive 90 Day cast.”
Another pointed out, “Jasmine might be awful, but Gino literally shared her nudes. Yet she gets called a gold digger and a whore while he gets a pass.”
The misogyny isn’t subtle—it’s systemic. As one user said, “There’s a lot of misogyny on these subs whether they want to admit it or not.”
