Supporting cast member of 90 Day Fiancé Chuck Potthast has been equally scandalous as any main star. He was last featured on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? with Libby Potthast and Andrei Castravet and added a lot of drama to their storyline. Chuck has seven children, of which two of his sons have chosen to stay out of the reality TV limelight. It is certainly a great decision on their part, as the rest of the Potthast family has imploded in front of the cameras.

Apart from being a father to Libby, Chuck has been the talk of the town for his successful family-run real estate business. He appears to be a wealthy man who has a number of rental properties in Florida. Perhaps, that's why he doesn't mind helping his kids financially. During 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 5, viewers learned that Chuck funded his kids' weddings.

His daughter, Jenn Davis, called him out for paying for Libby and Andrei's two weddings but not supporting hers. In the entirety of Andrie and Libby's storyline, Chuck has been the center of drama during many episodes. Surprisingly, Libby's father has also created some controversy off-screen.

Chuck once slid into a married woman's DM's. The woman was none other than 90 Day Fiancé season 7 star Emily Larina. She revealed that Libby's father messaged her to inquire about their common friends. While Chuck probably didn't mean to hit on Emily, fans on social media quickly accused him of doing so. One thing led to another, and Chuck's alleged partner came to his recuse by accusing Emily of being a clout chaser. As expected, Emily clapped back at the alleged ex by trashing Chuck's family's real estate business.

Many 90 Day Fiancé fans doubt Chuck's humble beginnings. Libby's father has been one of the most sympathetic supporting cast members on the show, but some alleged details about his past have made viewers dislike him. Mr. Potthast called himself a self-made man, even though he took a loan from his father to start his own business. His humble beginnings didn't inspire anyone, and it was labeled as white privilege. Besides, Chuck was compared to Donald Trump and Kylie Jenner, who are also self-proclaimed "self-made" individuals from a rich family background.

1. Chuck's Criminal History

One of Chuck's biggest scandals comes from his past criminal record and arrests. In 2021, 90 Day Fiancé viewers found out that he had a brush-in with the law for missing child support payments totaling $17,564. Libby's father went behind bars in March 2009 for not paying his child support. The news of Chuck's past criminal records quickly opened doors for more internet drama when social media users accused him of running a scam through the family business. Later, more stories of tenant complaints surfaced online that claimed the properties Chuck sold were part of foreclosure proceedings. However, nobody took legal action on the alleged accusations. Chuck had a scandalous past, but 90 Day Fiancé fans still like to view him as a caring father and grandfather.
