90 Day Fiancé star Jasmine Pineda demands money from her boyfriend Gino Palazzolo and controls him despite knowing he doesn’t have a job.
Viewers call out Jasmine Pineda for using Gino Palazzolo as a walking cash machine on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. With his little blue pills and awkward grin, Gino went to Panama on 90 Day Fiancé to meet his girlfriend Jasmine for the first time face-to-face. Jasmine may seem out of his league, but Gino won her affection by paying for her brows, hair, and teeth, despite having lost his job to the pandemic. Gino did try to put his foot down when Jasmine wanted him to spend $500 on a makeover. However, he couldn’t wiggle his way out when Jasmine started bullying and using words like “good boy” to control him.
Viewers have already caught a glimpse of Jasmine’s green-eyed monster on 90 Day Fiancé when she called Gino’s Brazilian ex-wife Denise “stupid” because she didn’t like the way his house was decorated. Jasmine also accused Gino of having “something” with a waitress, in a major red flag. Jasmine appears to recognize her own shortcomings, as she made herself the “crazy Panamanian girlfriend.” However, Jasmine’s reaction to Gino not spending money on useless clothes while being unemployed was concerning. When Gino confessed that the electric toothbrush from episode 2 was meant to be Jasmine’s Christmas gift, she commented she’ll take a better gift next year.
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days episode 6 has Jasmine arm-twisting Gino into paying $2500 for her four-day island vacation by holding his past against him. “I’m gonna give myself a Christmas gift and I’m gonna pick up something expensive,” claimed Jasmine. She told Gino, “That’s cheaper than any other trip that you’ve taken before with other women” and asked pointedly, “I’m not worthy as they were?” Even after knowing Gino’s bank balance is low, Jasmine laughed, “obedient. That’s how I liked it,” when he gave in. Viewers think this choice of words is concerning, to say the least.
The same Gino who wouldn’t buy himself a new pair of shoes suddenly became okay with sponsoring Jasmine’s entire trip. The defeated look on Gino’s face as he said, “I’ll do it” was hard to miss. Jasmine being like “a bomb” and losing control makes Gino worry about his future with her. Many viewers think that for Jasmine, love is when a partner does everything she wishes when and however she commands it. This toxic behavior makes audiences feel terrible for Gino, who they hope doesn’t propose to Jasmine at the end of his Panama trip. Though, there are viewers who don’t feel sorry for Gino since this life of humiliation is something he’s chosen willingly.
In the end, Jasmine is honest and is letting Gino know what she wants. He is a grown adult who’s falling for her tricks. If Jasmine wanted to give Gino a makeover, she could have paid for it. If Jasmine wanted a vacation, she could have waited until Gino found a job so they could go on a trip together instead. It seems Jasmine is fully invested in running Gino’s wallet dry. Jasmine knows her worth and has found herself the perfect man who’ll pay the price. Only time will tell if Gino and Jasmine are endgame or if he’ll become too frustrated with footing the bill instead.
