Miona Bell moved from Serbia to the U.S. to marry her now-husband, Jibri Bell, in 90 Day Fiancé season 9. After tying the knot, Miona quickly established her business in the U.S. and settled in Palm Springs, California. In the last few months, she has thrived in every area of her life and has come a long way since she moved to America.
90 Day Fiancé's Miona and Jibri met years ago when he was in Serbia playing with his band, Black Serbs. The two interacted online, leading one of them to make the first move which eventually resulted in multiple dates. Within weeks, the now 24-year-old reality star realized she had feelings for Jibri, and the two became an official couple. Soon after, Miona began exploring the world with Jibri, traveling to exotic locations. When Miona first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé, she was already deep into a relationship with the South Dakota native and had plans to get married and settle down in California.
Miona Bell’s Job
After moving to Palm Springs, Miona followed her passion. She began working as a makeup artist and later Miona launched her beauty line, Miona Beauty, on Instagram. She started by selling a few hair products, which included ponytail extensions and cosmetic products. She later added other types of extensions such as wigs. Based on the latest reviews on Miona's Instagram, most of her customers are happy with her products and appreciate that she has priced them at an affordable price range of $45 to $89. One Instagram user commented, “I have to buy another Flamingo Ponytail to recreate this look now.”
Miona Bell’s Blackfishing Scandal
While Miona’s shoppers have good things to say about her, most 90 Day Fiancé viewers have the opposite. Since the last season aired, Miona hasn't been well-received for her over-the-top fashion sense, selfish behavior, and unreasonable self-pride. Miona was also in a blackfishing controversy that began when fans learned how different she looked a few years ago. According to a Reddit thread started by u/Yolka17, some of Miona's older photos show her with a much lighter skin tone, which caused viewers to call her out for purposely presenting herself as darker by altering her “skin color,” lips, and hairstyles. While Miona has tried to defend her actions by stating she belongs to multiple backgrounds, not everyone believes her.
Miona Bell’s Considered A Scammer
The most notable thing about Miona is her extravagant lifestyle, which has also divided the fanbase. In a Reddit thread started by u/ExquisiteGene, 90 Day Fiancé viewers expressed that Miona showing off is part of her personality. On the other side, it is believed that Miona and her husband, Jibri, are “scammers.” The controversy began the moment the 90 Day Fiancé couple debuted on the show, and they were accused of already being married and faking their journey. Soon after, the couple had an empty desert wedding, later used as a set for Jibri’s music video, further fueling the fake storyline rumors. Recently, the couple has been boasting their wealth online, posing with new expensive cars. However, most 90 Day Fiancé fans believe they’re just being “cringe” and showing off “rental” vehicles.
