The drama continues for Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? and viewers are blasting Brandon's parents for their treatment of the couple. The 90 Day Fiancé villains Betty and Ron have been notoriously unsupportive of their son's independence. They have memorably tried to keep Brandon on the family farm even though Julia despises living there. Now that Brandon and Julia are finally moving out, viewers have called out Betty and Ron for their weirdness and thoroughly negative attitude.
Despite Brandon being a grown adult with a wife and steady job, Betty and Ron are against their son living independently. They told him that he would never make it on his own and they wouldn't help him when he failed. The latest episode of Happily Ever After saw Brandon and Julia finally signing a lease for a place of their own. However, Betty and Ron had nothing nice to say when the younger couple showed them their future apartment. They criticized the bedroom for being small and noted that the apartment was on the sixth floor, had no fire escape, and only included one window that opened. Their steady criticism of both the new apartment and Julia left Brandon in an uncomfortable position and caused viewers to lash out at the critical older couple for never supporting their son and trying to hold him back in life.
One viewer posted to the r/90dayfiance Reddit to call out Betty and Ron. "Brandon's parents need to accept that he's an adult," the user captioned the post. "Brandon's parents need to let him go and let him live his life the way he wants to live it. He is married and almost in his 30s for goodness sake. He has lived on that farm for years, it's time to move on! I felt so bad when Brandon and Julia showed his parents their new leased apartment and they (of course) had to nit pick everything they saw. Was the window view comment really necessary? As parents be proud of his accomplishments and be HAPPY for him! They really need to stop guilt tripping him and manipulating Brandon in general!" the user concluded the rant. Many fans have expressed the same opinions, as they find it to be bizarre how Betty and Ron are so against Brandon succeeding on his own.
Viewers have also voiced the inappropriate way Betty and Ron have treated Julia. The older couple has been blasted as being master manipulators who are trying to curb Brandon's growth by blaming Julia for manipulating him. However, fans actually find Betty and Ron to be the manipulators. Viewers find their attack against the apartment to be another way to hold Brandon back and try to prevent him from moving, which could seriously interfere with his marriage. "People like his parents are the same reason why my marriage didn't work. His Mom was overbearing and couldn't live without him at the farm. She got him, I got my freedom," one concerned commenter wrote. "I don't like how his parents tear him down when he tries to make a change or dream about the future," another viewer observed.
While Julia has been experiencing difficulties on the farm, fortunately, her relations with her family in Russia are completely positive. The dancer has been visiting her parents and brother solo, as Brandon has to remain in the US to work. Julia has enjoyed showing off her family, who share surprising physical similarities to the Gibbs family. Viewers have voiced that Julia's brother looks like Brandon, while others believe her mother looks like Betty and Julia looks like her mother. Despite these coincidences, Julia appears to get along far better with her family than she does with her in-laws on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 6.
90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? streams Fridays on Discovery+ and airs Sundays at 8pm on TLC.
