Although Jasmine Pineda is head over heels in love with Gino Palazzolo, 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, fans don’t have any sympathy left for the 51-year-old Michigan native. Dating the ever-so-suspicious Jasmine meant Gino had to give “evidence and reports” about his whereabouts whenever she asked for them. Viewers then discovered that Gino was actually texting his ex without Jasmine knowing. Gino tried making his sugar baby jealous by sending her Jasmine’s nude pictures to her. The 34-year-old let it slide as she accepted his engagement during the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off. However, during the Tell-All Part 1, it was revealed that Gino was also talking to other women while planning on his proposal to Jasmine.
Gino landed in trouble when his ex messaged Jasmine about the nudes he had sent to her. Gino displayed problematic behavior when he lied about not talking to his ex and later claimed the photos weren’t nudes as Jasmine was only topless in them. Fans found Gino creepier when his past as a sugar daddy was revealed. Gino had been paying women to take him out on dates when his dating app experiment had failed. Fans thought of Gino as someone who wanted to be surrounded by hot women so he could throw money at them and make them do whatever he wanted. Gino refusing to take off his hat for Jasmine’s mom during prayers was also a red flag to the viewers.
In the 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Tell-All Part 1, host Shaun Robinson asked Gino if he had been texting Ben Rathbun’s friend Jessica, who’s also from Michigan. He played “nerdy and naïve” again and denied texting Jessica until a screenshot of his message were revealed on screen. “Hi, Jessica! I have to ask out of my curiosity but are you Sicilian? ” Gino had asked to which Jessica replied, “Lol I’m not, but my husband is very Italian! ” Gino claimed it was Jessica who reached out to him first, but he conveniently didn’t have any receipts. It seems Gino’s interest in Jessica was piqued after her brief appearance on 90 Day Fiancé when she advised Ben against meeting Mahogany.
These instances show that Gino will do horrible things behind Jasmine’s back and lies about not doing them when confronted about it. Gino may look plain and modest on the outside, but some fans feel he’s a compulsive liar who’s playing a game with Jasmine. He knows exactly what to say to Jasmine to remind her how much she needs him. Besides, Gino has continued to lie about more moments during the Tell-All, such as when Jasmine claimed he was paying women for sleepovers, meaning sex. During the show, a screenshot flashed on the screen that revealed Gino telling his ex, “I treat my SB well nowadays giving anywhere from 200 to 250 per meet." However, on the Tell-All, Gino pretended to forget how much he was paying the women, and later added it was “probably 100 dollars or less.”
Overall, Gino texting Ben’s friend wasn’t the last time he slid into a woman's DM. Even if he has been flirty with someone other than Jasmine, Gino knows how to keep lying even when evidence is presented. Gino and Jasmine both hid the real story of how they really met on a sugar daddy/sugar baby website from fans until the 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Tell-All. This suggests that the viewer cannot trust what either Gino or Jasmine says. However, fans are curious as to why Jasmine is still with Gino despite his lies if she isn’t a gold digger and wasn't looking for an American citizenship? Even if she is, staying with Gino isn't worth all the lies he spews at her.
