Reality TV star Jasmine encounters Gino's latest girlfriend, and I have firm opinions about his family orchestrating the introduction
In the latest episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? (Season 9), tensions between Gino's new girlfriend, Natalie, and his estranged wife, Jasmine, reached a boiling point at a birthday party in Michigan.
Natalie, who had not been involved in the initial conflict and did not ask to be pulled into the situation, was introduced to Gino's family for the first time at the party. However, Jasmine's arrival was far from cordial. She challenged Natalie from the start, mocking her presence and resorting to name-calling, labelling her a "stripper" and a "whore."
As the argument escalated, the conflict quickly turned physical. Both women were restrained to break up the fight, but Jasmine pushed Natalie, leading to her being escorted out of the bar visibly upset. The altercation caused lasting emotional fallout, with Natalie blaming Gino for the entire situation due to a lack of clear communication about his intentions and plans to divorce Jasmine.
Rumors suggest that the fight was much longer and more violent than shown on TV. Reports indicate that Jasmine struck Natalie in the head with a pool ball during the scuffle, a moment cut from the final edit. The incident was described as chaotic and intense enough that filming was temporarily halted to calm everyone involved.
The drama didn't end there. It was revealed that Gino had lied to both women about his relationship status and plans, causing Jasmine to feel betrayed and frustrated. Party guests Michelle and Dana commented that Gino had brought this drama on himself and that he needed to face the consequences of his actions.
Jasmine and Gino are currently in the process of starting a divorce. It remains unclear why Gino's family decided to invite both Jasmine and Natalie to the party, given the expected tension.
Jasmine's history of causing a scene in tense moments suggests that her reaction may not have been entirely unexpected. However, she claimed she had no idea she would react that way.
