90 Day Fiancé: Everything Mahogany Told Ben That Turned Out To Be Lies

90 Day Fiancé Everything Mahogany Told Ben That Turned Out To Be Lies
Why 90DF fans can't seem to trust Mahogany.

Mahogany Roca from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days thinks that Ben Rathbun is “different” than the man she was talking to online, but she also refuses to address the lies she told him before and after they finally met. Fans predicted that 90 Day Fiancé franchise star Mahogany from B90 would be a scammer ever since they saw her heavily edited selfies with filters in the B90 trailer. Some even declared that Mahogany was not a real person, believing that someone else was using her photos to trick Ben. When Mahogany ended up meeting Ben face to face, her rehearsed actions and exaggerated accent gave fans weird vibes. Since then, fans think that Mahogany has been dishonest many times.

Owing to her strange beginnings, fans suspect that her storyline with Ben is fake. They speculate that the Mahogany whom Ben was talking to failed to show up at the airport, so show producers roped in an actress to play Mahogany’s part. Certain fans believe that this was done to avoid another catfish situation, such as the Yolanda Leak and Williams debacle. However, Mahogany from B90 was still a catfish because she looked nothing like the photos on her Facebook and Instagram. She also spoke perfect English, when Ben had claimed that they had communication issues due to her poor knowledge of English. During the three months that Mahogany had chatted with Ben, she also seemed to tell other lies.

Firstly, Ben dismissed the fact that Mahogany had “doctored” her online photos by being content with the idea of her being a real, beautiful woman. However, the same woman who spoke about starting a family with him via chat refused to reply to his “I love you” on their first date. She also neglected to give the Michigan man a kiss goodbye. Mahogany claimed that she was hesitant about meeting Ben because her father Jose doubted his intentions. However, when Ben from B90 met up with Mahogany’s dad to try and convince him that he was an ideal partner for his daughter, more of Mahogany’s lies surfaced. Ben found out that Mahogany had faked being 24 years old when she was just 22. She’d also told him that she lived with her parents during their online romance, and never once mentioned moving.

In actuality, Mahogany was living all by herself in a plush San Bartolo apartment, where she set up a meeting with Ben and her parents. Ben figured the apartment was an Airbnb rental and promptly decided to ditch the weird situation and head back home. However, his midlife crisis got the better of him, and he continued pursuing his relationship with Mahogany, even though she claimed it wasn't a relationship at all. B90's Mahogany refused to acknowledge Ben as her boyfriend, referring to him as a “friend” in front of her pals. She later revealed how she often talks about marriage and children with potential partners before jumping into a relationship.

What she did with Ben shouldn't have inspired him to assume that he and Mahogany could get married. Also, 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days has yet to confirm why Mahogany took a $1000 loan from Ben when her family appears to be well-off and she has a job with a decent salary. Mahogany also claimed she was too shy to get on video calls with Ben when there are photos of her in swimsuits on the Internet. Before his shocking arrest, Ben did an interview where he defended Mahogany and her lies. He said that B90's Mahogany uses filters for fun and that she might have lied about her address because she was talking to a strange man online. Mahogany’s lies have been swept under the rug by Ben, who eventually did end up becoming her boyfriend.
