90 Day Fiance Star Ben Rathbun Rationalizes Mahogany’s Lies

90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 5 brought a lot of drama from the most insignificant looking cast member.

Well, fans think that she lied about everything, but Ben just rationalized all of those incidents away.

90 Day Fiancé Spoilers – Ben Rathbun Seems Blinded By Mahogany Roca

From the very beginning, Ben claimed that they have a spiritual connection. Well, they both claim to be Christians, and perhaps that’s why he justifies everything that Mahogany did. When Shakespeare wrote, “The lady doth protest too much,” he basically suggested that too much justification should be viewed as suspicious. However, in Ben’s case, a lot of fans think they are both just as bad as each other. They wonder if he catfished her, or the other way around.

90 Day Fiance fans also know that Mahogany Roca met him in a place that wasn’t even her own. Even Ben seemed a bit taken aback that she made out it belonged to her. However, he just rationalized that away. Perhaps he should run for politics? Either that, or fans might think that he’s completely blinded to reality by Mahogany. Meanwhile, other questions arise as to how many times he might have married in the past.

90 Day Fiancé Spoilers – Ben Rathburn Excuses Mahogany Rocca

Talking with ET, Ben made excuses for Mahogany not looking like her real self on social media. He rationalized it away by talking about how young she is so she just enjoyed an “app that kind of morphs…” So, he thinks that she’s just having fun online. Perhaps he knows very well how a young woman might find that sort of thing fun. After all, his daughter is the same age as her. He said, “you know, she was just having fun. So I don’t have any problem with it … it’s fine, it doesn’t really matter.”

Next, the 90 Day Fiance star explained away the age difference. Recall, she was two years younger than she originally told him. Well, Ben claims that it’s rather a good thing that she lied to him on social media. After all, young girls should never tell the truth about themselves to people online. He said about his own daughter, “If you do tell them your age, change it up because you don’t know if they’re going to be a stalker or a crazy person. So, not a problem with me at all.”

90 Day Fiancé Spoilers – The Condo That Was Not Mahogany’s

90 Day Fiance fans freaked out about the fact that the condo Mahogany stayed in was not her own. Even Ben seemed a bit unsure of what was going on. He said that it’s his fault for not pushing her harder on it. And anyway, he said that he knows she didn’t own it. Apparently, she stayed there for a few months. He noted, “Those really nice condominiums there are very inexpensive.” Additionally, for some season, he talked about her parents being in the money. Mind you, it’s not clear how that relates to hiring a cheap condo.
