On many 90 Day Fiancé spin-off shows, Elizabeth Potthast’s father, Chuck, was portrayed as a successful real estate mogul in Florida—generous to a fault, constantly bailing out his adult children and their partners with financial support.
Viewers saw him as the backbone of the Potthast family empire, often stepping in to mediate drama and fund ventures, especially for Elizabeth and her husband Andrei. But according to recent claims from an alleged ex-girlfriend, Chuck’s off-screen reality may be far less glamorous. Instagram user "@thecharitycarsonhawke", who says she dated Chuck and is still in contact with him, spilled some serious tea about his personal life, even sharing photos of them together to back up her story.
According to her, Chuck is struggling in 2025—financially, emotionally, and physically. She claims he asked her for $200 to pay for a streetwalker after his credit card was declined, suggesting serious money issues. She also described his home as filthy, alleged he has a drinking problem, and said he frequently hires escorts he can’t afford. Despite surviving cancer last year, Chuck is reportedly living an unhealthy lifestyle. The ex-girlfriend also said that Chuck’s kids had to check him into a detox rehab center after he returned from Moldova, painting a picture that starkly contrasts with the polished image fans saw on TV.
To make matters worse, she alleged that Chuck may have been arrested for DUI recently, although that hasn’t been confirmed. She noted that he often asks family and friends to drive him around, which raised suspicions.
If these claims are true, it casts doubt on Chuck’s role as the financial savior of the Potthast clan. No wonder Andrei has been talking about cashing out and moving back to Moldova—if Chuck’s money well has run dry, the days of milking his father-in-law for support might be over. Whether this is a fall from grace or just messy gossip, it’s clear that Chuck’s real life may be far more complicated than the version fans were sold.
