Many fans and critics of 90 Day Fiancé believe the TLC show is “scripted.” They think the cast members are acting out roles. A number of fans have particularly targeted Ed Brown, or Big Ed as he is known. His uncomfortable scenes with his Filipina girlfriend, Rose Vega, lead to criticism and controversy. Despite this, Ed, 54, tells fans that what they are watching is the true drama, as it happens. This includes those scenes where he upsets both Rose and their fans alike. No acting is involved.

90 Day Fiancé star says it like it is

Big Ed was interviewed by Stephen Kramer Glickman on The Night Time Show podcast on May 9. During that interview, Ed insists that “everything I did is just who I am.” Ed goes on to admit that he isn’t really bright and says he doesn’t always say the right things.

Big Ed connected with Rose Vega, 23, on Facebook. Soon after that, he was on a flight to the Philippines to meet her. Ed said when he met her, Rose suddenly became someone real. “Like real. Like wow.” Ed admitted he went and bought the plane ticket, despite the fact he didn’t have permission to take time off work. He didn’t care – he bought the ticket and jumped on the plane to go and meet her.

Many people, including Big Ed’s own daughter, Tiffany, believe he is too old for Rose. However, all along, the TLC reality star is saying the age gap is not an issue. Rose herself has often said, “age is just a number.” Big Ed says he has never thought of Rose as being a “young girl.” To him, she is a single mother who he wants to help.
