Danielle is not well-liked (for good reason), and everyone goes on and on about how she promised Yohan a life in America. But do people understand that he’s not a child? If the lie hurt him so much he could have left her. Essentially, the implication is either she lets him use her for a visa or he becomes her financial responsibility for life. Does that even make sense?
I also live in a ‘poor’ country and it is not impossible to make money. What happened to the meat shop? He doesn’t even try. Instead, he chooses to live off her dime, refuse to work, and now ROB her and act like he was justified in doing so.
Flat-out refusing to leave unless he is reimbursed was abusive behaviour and scary to watch, no one deserves that, not even Danielle.
Stop defending the sex tourist. She isn’t a victim.
I agree 10000000%
Yohan got to live in the luxury apartment the months that he contributed rent. He has already got his money’s worth. Danielle doesn’t owe him a dime.
From the beginning, his personality was showing that he was sort of doing her a favor, and being with her. He wanted everything to be on his terms take me to New York so I can get a job. Send money home for my family instead of us. A lot of people don’t like her and that’s true but he didn’t show her any real love, her affection with his moodiness, and he’s unwilling to step up and be a man in the relationship.
Despite all of her flaws, I think Danielle genuinely was in love with Yohan, and also probably flattered by the interest of someone younger and good looking (re: the comments about his dick size, etc). It was surface level, naive and misguided, but I digress. I suspect part of the reason she flipped the script on bringing Yohan to the US was to hopefully prove to herself that he loved her for more than a free ride out of the DR. And now she’s finding out that that’s not the case. Yohan only has one interest, and that’s numero uno.
Some people are calling Yohan’s behavior justified, but I think his coldness and entitlement are a bit disconcerting (well, more than a bit). He’s just so calculated. He has never looked at her with the same warmth she has for him. He was always using her. That’s not ok either. I think he only went out and got an actual job now as a means to get some kind of leverage over her, or out of spite. And IDK, I’d be concerned about moving someone with such an apparent lack of work ethic to my country with me as well. What’s Yohan going to DO in the US? He hasn’t learned English, for starters, nor does he appear to have any specific kind of skillset. Kinda limits the job prospects.
At the end of the day, two people can both be in the wrong. Danielle was naive, plus she’s controlling and self righteous. But that doesn’t excuse Yohan’s extreme sense of entitlement, simply because he is the MAN. There’s something simmering barely under the surface with him, and despite my dislike of Danielle, it does make me a little worried for her.
She genuinely loves him cause he’s tall and has a huge dick, not true love, she’s a sexy tourist, using him for his body.
A bit reductive imo but I don’t disagree
She rubbed me wrong from the get go. I think Yohan was genuinely into her at first but when he found out she was faking on bringing him to the states and is not interested in making him a father she lost value too him. he decided to go all gangster and gives no fucks now. He flat out stole from her, and it has led him to some genuine shitty behavior. And STILL she is the villain, the day she said “I’ve raised thousands of children” my respect for her bankrupted. Yohan also sucks, just slightly less. (Season is not over he could take the lead)
💯💯💯💯
Regarding what Yohan would do in the US, he would end up working in something laborious like construction. There is a huge Dominican community in NYC. He wouldn’t need to learn English to find work here. His skillset is being a giant man.
100%. This put into words everything I’ve been thinking, thank you!!
The one who loves the least has the most control
Reverse the roles. She is basically a Dominican sex tourist.
She met a poor man, in a poor country, and clearly only wants the D. Trying to control him with money.
If she was a guy, everyone would say she is taking advantage. But because he’s a big dude, no one gives a shit.
i agree with you. I’m so angry at Yohan this episode, its always wrong to take anyone’s money without them knowing it, the fact that he lied and didnt come clean means that deep inside he is aware that it is WRONG. to say hes not stealing is bs. and finally the nail in the coffin that shows his true calculating self when he ask for reimbursement in order to leave.
i’m astounded that he or anyone thinks there can be any justification for this
Srs same… what a world we live in
Unless you have an understanding with your spouse that you can use their money without their permission, then it’s stealing! And if he wasn’t trying to sneak he would have told her about it. He is a fucking bum!
Same words I used watching it with my girlfriend. He’s a bum.
I’m surprised by these some of these comments. I must have been watching a different show. I don’t think I’ve heard Danielle promising to move Yohan to the US. In fact I’ve heard the OPPOSITE this entire time. I think it’s been pretty clear over the course of multiple seasons that she does NOT want to live in the US and has no intention on living in the US. If Yohan thought otherwise it’s because he didn’t listen to what she was saying. She said it so many times. She bought him a business IN THE DR? They went to look at apartments IN THE DR? How much more clear could she make it?
Yeah, you must have been watching the show. She absolutely promised that they were moving to the US and blindsided him when she ended up moving to the DR
I guess I’ll have to go rewatch some episodes because I stg I don’t remember that happening. like does she mention it frequently in early episodes or something?
Idk I understand both their mentality. In relationships, I’m generally like Yohan when it comes to money and trusting eachother. We are a team. Of course my money is yours and vice versa. The difference is all finances are discussed and open 💯. Lying on top of having an attitude about secret spending would upset and greatly confuse me too.
I’d be upset my partner felt the need to hide a simple necessity as food, plus food is a love language so it’d be like failing my partner if they were going hungry. Buuut Danielle also expects Yohan to survive on just meat and rice alone 🤷🏽♀️
But yeah, probs why you should always sort out money before marriage.
I don’t know if I would call it abusive but he is behaving like a jerk for sure. They are both toxic.
Huge dicks and good partners don’t necessarily go hand in hand. 🙄
I honestly think if they had gotten married and moved to America he would have gotten a job and sent his money back to the DR like he said he was going to do on LIP. This was always a transactional relationship, which is fine as long as both parties are into it. They’re both clearly over it so why they’re still together is mind-boggling. I couldn’t imagine marrying someone i couldn’t trust enough to share a bank account with, but clearly Yohan will just take all her money if it’s not guarded so I don’t blame her there. I also know there are other reasons why married people have separate bank accounts. I’m sure he’s cheating, and that leaked post Danielle made about him looking for European women to scam is making a lot more sense.
Yes. She has been awful but you are exactly right, he is absolutely being abusive.
