Jasmine's Divorce Lawyer Lied on the Show About Her Deportation Scenario and Didn't Tell Her the Full Truth

Posted by on

 On TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After, the thirst for screen time and a paycheck seems to override professional integrity across the board. It’s not just the cast members selling their souls for 15 minutes of fame, even lawyers and doctors who appear on the show seem willing to bend reality for dramatic effect.


This week’s episode featured Jasmine and Matt consulting a divorce lawyer to explore whether Jasmine could secure a green card by divorcing Gino and marrying Matt before their baby is born. Instead of offering a nuanced legal strategy, the lawyer delivered a fear-based narrative, claiming the baby would legally be Gino’s since it would be born during the marriage, and that this could be used as evidence of marriage fraud, fast-tracking Jasmine’s deportation to Panama.

But the drama doesn’t hold up under legal scrutiny. According to a Reddit user who claims to work at a real law firm, the lawyer’s advice on the show was misleading at best and legally inaccurate at worst. They argue that Gino has no real case against Jasmine, and that the lawyer’s portrayal of immigration and family law was more about fueling TLC’s narrative than protecting Jasmine’s rights. The idea that a baby born during a marriage automatically proves fraud — and guarantees deportation — is a gross oversimplification. It’s reality TV lawyering: dramatic, vague, and designed to scare rather than inform.

This isn’t the first time professionals on TLC have played fast and loose with facts for the sake of airtime. From therapists who offer one-size-fits-all diagnoses to doctors who dramatize routine procedures, the show has a pattern of turning experts into actors. The paycheck and exposure seem to outweigh the duty to truth. And while cast members like Jasmine are often criticized for chasing fame, it’s time to call out the professionals who enable the spectacle — trading credibility for clout and turning real-life stakes into scripted chaos.
