Julia Trubkina is a 90 Day Fiancé franchise star who used to be praised for her niceness, but she's slipped into the villain role almost effortlessly, and there are signs that she may enjoy being notorious. While she started out as a former go-go dancer from Russia, who came to Brandon Gibbs' parents' farm to experience some fairly extreme culture shock, she later revealed new facets of a complex and interesting personality. The nice young woman that fans adored at first has unsheathed her claws lately. She's made some remarks that paint her in a whole new light.
Fans of 90 Day Fiancé season 8 felt sorry for Julia because all she seemingly wanted was quality time with Brandon. Instead, she got arduous farm work and very little privacy with her man. Forced to sleep in separate bedrooms, Julia and Brandon had to get cozy in a car. However, there is more to the farm work part of the story, as Julia revealed that she actually chose to do the chores at Hummingbird Acres farm. She wasn't forced to complete those tasks by Brandon's parents, Ron and Betty Gibbs. When fans learned the truth, they were shocked. Some fans had thrown shade at Ron and Betty, assuming that they were total villains. They started to wonder if Julia was the villain. As for the separate bedrooms, Brandon tried to get them into an apartment but Julia wasn't happy with the options that he presented. That also raised eyebrows.
The clues that Julia likes going to the dark side are there if fans know where to look. For starters, she's showing off moodier poses and looks on her @juliatrubkina1993 Instagram lately. Instead of the bright smiles of the past, she's frequently shown staring down the camera, as seen in the post below. The very stylish Julia is also adding cryptic captions that might be meant to stir up controversy. In the aforementioned post, her caption, "bye America,i go......!" led to tons of curious questions from her 131k Instagram followers. They wanted to know if she was going to Russia because she'd had enough of the farm work. One IG user said that Julia has a "stepmother like Cinderella." While Julia's pic and caption may have been an entirely innocent travel post, it might also be an attempt to stir up drama while reveling in her newfound villain status.
Julia is a hard-working person who's honed her figure in the gym. She tried fifteen jobs before leaving Russia for a new life in America. Now, she probably realizes that there are benefits to playing (or being) the villain. After all, 90 Day Fiancé franchise villains often find that their misdeeds pay off in terms of fame and cold, hard cash. By watching franchise stars like Big Ed and Colt Johnson thrive after getting (and probably really deserving) villain edits, she may understand that going to the dark side has its potential advantages. Even keeping people guessing about whether she's a villain or a hero can help to her stay relevant over the long term. Franchise celebs like Angela Deem and Larissa Lima have ardent fans and plenty of haters, and they keep getting great big opportunities. See Julia smoldering and talking about being "impatient" in the post below:
Is it more fun to be Cinderella or Maleficent? Julia from 90 Day Fiancé may still be deciding, or she may already have made up her mind that being a villain is way more fulfilling. When she criticizes plastic surgery during a Tell-All fight with Yara Zaya or gets jealous of other women who pay attention to Brandon, she gets dragged, but people keep talking about her. If she was sweet all of the time, they might just get bored.
