’90 Day Fiance’: Mahogany Roca: Both Real & A Catfish?
90 Day Fiance fans are always skeptical about the cast of Before the 90 Days, especially with Season 5. This season has been filled with users, a super fan, and even a possible catfish. Fans were sure that Mahogany Roca was not real whatsoever. When Ben Rathbun showed off her photos to his family and friends, they were extremely skeptical of the twenty-four-year-old beauty. Was he about to prove them wrong upon landing in Peru?
Catfishing On 90 Day Fiance?
Ben had been in a long marriage that did not pan out. A former minister, he found work as a model and began searching for love online. Eventually, he met young Peruvian beauty Mahogany with a nearly thirty-year age difference. He just had a feeling about her and shared with his family that he was flying overseas to meet with her. They were quite skeptical that she was a catfish based on her photos but he was adamant she was real. He would not heed anybody’s warnings and packed his bags for a long trip ahead.
Unfortunately, she did not meet him at the airport when he arrived in Peru which was a telltale sign she was fake. It was giving serious David/Lana vibes from the previous season. Ben was determined to find her and yes, she did finally show up. However, it was clear Mahogany utilized many filters to alter her appearance. Though fans (and Ben) were shocked and happy she showed up, they also felt he had been catfished in more ways than one.
The Ultimate Catfishing
Yes, Mahogany was a real person but she was also a catfish. She did not share real photos of her face as Life & Style pointed out. The young woman had never video chatted with Ben the entire courtship as she apparently did not like showing her face. Yet she had no problem sharing sexy photos with him so it did not add up. When she did show up on the screen for dinner with Ben, fans were shocked at her “real” look. In fact, they wanted to know what filters she used. “Mahogany girl which level of Facetune have you been using?!?” one tweeted.
Ben was unbothered by the difference in appearance: “When she walked down that little hallway, I was blown away. And since she never video-chatted me, I am so relieved that Mahogany is a woman and beautiful.” Mahogany has attempted to say some of the Instagram accounts with filtered photos are not hers. In the end, she and Ben have both disabled their accounts as of this month. There are still questions if she and her family were paid actors and if Ben was found on a casting search.
Ultimately, she may have been real in some capacity but she still gave the impression that she was someone else physically. She also claimed she was 24 when she was actually 22 and seemingly wanted more than she did. Was her filter that drastic or enough to manage?
