90 Day Fiance: Did Tiffany Franco’s Mom Just Body-Shame Larger Women?

90 Day Fiance fans know that Tiffany arrived on the TLC show as a larger woman. In fact, she never really lost weight until she underwent weight-loss surgery. Some critics felt she should have put that much energy into saving her relationship with Ronald Smith. Now, some fans seemed a bit shocked by her mom Margarita Fernandez Lugo. Some folks thought that she body-shamed larger women.

90 Day Fiance – Ronald And Tiffany Franco Finally Split For Good

For years now, fans saw that Tiffany and Ronald bickered and fought. Not only in the show but also openly on social media. Well, Tiffany went to South Africa, met Ronald, and married him. Soon, she found out she was pregnant with the couple’s daughter, Carley. However, she didn’t stay there. Instead, she took her little girl back to the USA, knowing that Ronald couldn’t go there because of his criminal history. After airing all their dirty laundry on social media, back in March last year, she said that they still loved each other. She also apologized for the public spat and said they would carry on trying to make things work.

A month after that, the 90 Day Fiance stars were slated to appear in the spinoff, Self-Quarantined. Well, like the other times time that fans saw them. Tiffany put Ronald down, and clearly, there was never any mending of their fractured relationship. Anyway, they managed to drag it out, and recently, she finally went off at him in the Happily Ever After? Tell-All. Officially split, they now rant at each other about girlfriends and infidelity. In the meantime, Tiffany looks like she transformed herself into a much slimmer version of herself. In fact, she and her mom could be sisters when they get made up. 

90 Day Fiance Mom Margarita Talks About Larger Women

On  November 26, Margarita took to her Instagram and shared comparison photos of women modeling on billboards. One came from 1999 and the other one from 2019. In her caption, she wrote, “They want us fat unhealthy miserable and dead. Let’s break free from the trap.” Next, she talked about how “they” … “normalized us poisoning ourselves and WE DEFEND IT!” Then, she went on about health and “risk with all the BS we put in our mouths.”

One 90 Day Fiance fan seemed quite offended by the post. They commented, “Wait what? Maybe I’m reading your message wrong. I’m a big girl always have been. Wish I wasn’t I’ve tried and tried to lose. Working out changing eating habits, which I really don’t eat a lot of junk. I eat pretty healthy. I am not happy with my body but also can’t change it. So what do you say for people like me who have tried their whole lives with bare minimum results?”

Fans And Some Answers about Body-Shaming

One 90 Day Fiance fan wrote, “Didn’t your daughter just have weight loss surgery?? You posted about it.” Well, yes she did. So, that probably had little to do with Tiffany’s diet. Margarita replied to the fan who asked about struggling to lose weight. She said, “I honestly don’t worry too much about my looks but about my health and we all know what we are doing to our bodies (inside) when we become too heavy.” Then she added, “nothing we buy is even natural anymore, they take so much from us. And we become unhealthy.”

Judging by that, Margarita didn’t intend to body-shame anyone and was rather focusing on bad eating habits.
