Recent episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 7 have sparked controversy around the cast member Brian Muniz. The 51-year-old quadriplegic from Illinois is in a relationship with Ingrid, a 32-year-old single mother from Brazil.

They met while Brian worked as a wheelchair coach in Brazil. Revelations about Brian's past and behavior have led to a lot of fan backlash on social media platforms.

Some of the issues include 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star lying about his age, claiming to be 45 even though he is actually 51. His history as a drug dealer and the circumstances leading to his paralysis have also come to light. Additionally, Brian did not disclose the full extent of care he requires due to his condition.

Brian's emotional responses to these situations on the show have been met with skepticism by many fans. On X (formerly Twitter), a user urged,

"Brian, put away your victim card and fake tears,"

Controversy erupts as 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 days star Brian's past comes to light

Brian's lie about his age was exposed during a conversation with Ingrid. While discussing her father's age, 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star revealed he was 51 years old, contradicting his earlier claim of being 45.

This revelation shocked Ingrid, who confronted Brian saying, "No, you're 45." Brian responded with, "That's my age, come on man," attempting to downplay the significance of his deception.

The discrepancy has raised questions about Brian's honesty and intentions in the relationship.

One X user expressed their frustration, stating,

"No Brian, she's not attracted to you because you lied about your age, you were on drugs, u come with a lot of baggage and ur mad thirsty.."

Further complicating matters, Brian's past as a drug dealer came to light. This information was not previously shared with Ingrid, adding another layer of deception to their relationship in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. The circumstances surrounding Brian's paralysis were also revealed.

He was shot in the spine, resulting in his quadriplegia. Reports suggest that Brian's ex-wife, who was also involved in drug dealing, may have been connected to the shooting incident.

These revelations have cast doubt on Brian's character and raised concerns about the potential risks associated with his past. An X user voiced their alarm, saying,

"Can we talk about Brian from 90 Day Fiance? He is 20 million red flags a minute. Rayne? An actual fucking menace! Loren? A parasite with no future! TLC needs to be put under the jail."

Brian failed to disclose the full extent of care he requires due to his condition. He needs assistance with daily activities such as dressing, showering, and using a catheter. Ingrid was unaware of these needs before meeting Brian in person.

X user accused Brian of using his disability manipulatively:

"Brian tries to use his disability to manipulate people. I don't like that and I don't like him. Some people just ain't sh*t"

Tensions escalated when 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days pushed for physical intercourse during their first night together. Ingrid expressed discomfort, considering the act too intimate for their current relationship stage. This mismatch in expectations led to an argument in their hotel room.

Following the argument, Brian sought advice from his sister. She counseled him against behaving like a "caveman" and sided with Ingrid's perspective on the situation.

In an effort to mend their relationship, Brian apologized for his behavior. 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star also questioned whether Ingrid's hesitation stemmed from his disability.

Ingrid denied this, asserting that his physical condition was not the issue. The couple then decided to take a trip together to a different town, signaling an attempt to move past their recent conflicts.

However, some viewers remained skeptical of Brian's sincerity.

An X user pointed out,

"Brian is the ONLY person surprised that he is in fact the problem."

This reaction has focused on Brian's apparent lack of self-awareness.


The ongoing saga of Brian and Ingrid on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days has captivated and divided viewers. From age deception and hidden pasts to mismatched expectations and communication breakdowns, their story has highlighted the complexities of relationships.
