The90 Day Fiancédrama is brewing onandoff-screen — and across seasons.
This season stars Michael Jessen, a self-employed wine entrepreneur with two kids from a previous marriage, and his fiancée Juliana Custudio, amodel from Brazil who is 18 years his junior. On Sunday, Jessen blasted the show on Instagram, calling it “the biggest bunch of manufactured bulls—” after a scene aired of the couple meeting with a mediator to discuss a potential prenup. (A rep for TLC did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment.)
The scene was then addressed on90 Day Fiancé: Pillow Talk, a spinoff that follows previous fan-favorite cast members discussing current episodes of the show. According toThe Ashley’s Reality Roundup, onPillow Talk, season 1 starPaola Mayfieldclaimed Jessen “only thinks of himself.”
During an appearance onThe Domenick Nati Showon Wednesday, Paola and her husbandRuss Mayfieldwere asked for their response to Jessen’s rant.
“Look, what we see is what we all see,” Paola said with a laugh. “I have my opinion, I have a strong opinion, but I don’t think I said anything bad. I was just kind of like, concerned about Juliana, that’s all. … Trying to point [the finger] at me is ridiculous, because on the show, we all have an opinion.”
“Whatever he said on his live video, I really don’t care,” she continued. “I don’t like this drama on social media, I don’t like to go back and forth. If you have something to say you can actually send me a DM — because he follows me.”
Added Russ, “It’s nothing personal to him, so I don’t know why he took it [up] personally to Paola. Like, what’s his deal? I thought it was a bit ridiculous.”
Both Jessen and Custodio have insisted their relationship is not as it’s portrayed on the TLC show, which follows international couples with just 90 days to wed on a K-1 visa.
“He doesn’t deserve all this hate, he is a prince,” she continued.
