New 90 Day Fiancé season 9 star Emily Bieberly has become the most controversial cast member after a season of highs and lows. TLC viewers met the 29-year-old when she eagerly awaited the arrival of her boyfriend, Kobe Blaise. The two originally met when Emily worked as an English teacher in China. They immediately felt a spark, and after a one-night stand with Kobe, Emily ended up spending two weeks with him.
Soon after their first meeting, the couple got engaged and later found out they were pregnant with their first child. Emily returned to the United States while Kobe waited for his K-1 visa's approval. Unfortunately, Kobe ended up missing his child's birth due to the visa processing delays amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Cameroon native finally arrived in the U.S. to marry his Emily and to be a doting father to his newborn son.
Little did he know that his fiancée had changed a lot over time. Once he made it to the U.S., Kobe realized Emily would cause more drama in his life than he expected. After seeing Emily's condescending actions toward Kobe on 90 Day Fiancé, many viewers don't think she deserves him.
3. Emily Trusting Kobe
Emily's biggest high on 90 Day Fiancé came when she first arrived at the airport to pick up Kobe. During the couple's reunion, Kobe took note of Emily's weight gain and mentioned that she looked "different." While Emily was appalled at her fiancé's remark, she didn't let it ruin her mood. Instead, she let it slide and moved on with her much-awaited sexy time at the hotel. Another moment that made the Kansas native stand out was when she defended her relationship. During one of the 90 Day Fiancé season 9 episodes, Emily's parents asked her to reconsider her decision to marry Kobe, but Emily rejected the idea based on her gut feeling about him.
2. Emily Mocking Kobe's Fears
One of Emily's most villainous moments took place when she mocked Kobe's fears without remorse. She has grown up working at her parents' farm and around animals and has no problem dealing with them. But Kobe doesn't have experience working around animals; therefore, he felt uneasy about some of the tasks, such as shoveling horse manure into a bucket. When Kobe explained to Emily that horses make him uncomfortable, she made fun of him and laughed at him along with her mother, Lisa. This incident enraged many 90 Day Fiancé fans, who called out Emily for mocking Kobe's fears and not apologizing for it.
1. Emily's Engagement Ring
One of Emily's most prominent lows is the time when she bought her engagement ring, publically emasculating Kobe. During the 90 Day Fiancé season 9 episode, where Emily tried on different wedding dresses, she revealed the truth about her backup engagement ring. According to Emily, she bought the one-carat ring because she wasn't confident that Kobe could buy her one. Emily added that since she's "high maintenance," she wouldn't settle for anything less. Most viewers, including Emily's parents, believed it was a bad idea for her to keep such an expensive purchase hidden from Kobe. Besides, it was shocking for fans to see Emily make a mockery of Kobe's inability to purchase something while she didn't have a good source of income at the time either. Although it is highly unlikely, it would be interesting to see if Emily redeems herself with 90 Day Fiancé fans in the future.
