As someone who hasn’t watched their season of Love in Paradise and only saw them for the first time on The Other Way, their story was definitely framed as Yohan didn’t know that they weren’t moving to the US. The cringe airport scene comes to mind where Danielle laughs as she tells the producer, in English, that she is permanently moving to the DR and that Yohan doesn’t know that she’s never bringing him to the US. At least through editing, the audience is led to believe that she lied to him.

I think they’re both skeezy.

At first look the style of this picture appears to be caricature but it’s actually realism. 🤯

I totally agree. I didn’t mean to imply that she should have put up with how gross he is; I wouldn’t put up with it. I’m just saying that I think she was probably always honest about it, this was a transactional relationship. If he hadn’t been so gross, she probably would’ve stayed with him, if not for love, for the benefits to her family.

Totally agree. I think it’s likely that Ximena was always honest with him about what she got out of the relationship. She was a cam girl that he paid to be exclusive, after all. And I think that if he had been a decent guy and not so gross, she probably would have stuck it out. The pressure from her family was certainly high. But in person she couldn’t get over the ick and then his real personality came out in full force.
