90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star Tyray Mollett was the catfish storyline of season 6. The catfish was a man named Christian who pretended to be Tyray’s online girlfriend Carmella for almost five years. Tyray, 32, from Modesto, California, was excited to talk about Carmella, a 27-year-old Barbados woman, during the reality TV show’s episode 1. But at the end of the episode, the producers told Tyray that Carmella did not exist. Tyray had kept his relationship a secret from his family. He couldn’t tell that Carmella refusing to do video or phone calls was a red flag. Christian was using the pictures of an adult model named Sweet Carmella to scam Tyray.
A 90 Day Fiancé producer named Amelia first made contact with the person who was pretending to be Carmella. Amelia was the one who discovered Tyray was being catfished. Tyray had given Amelia Carmella’s Snapchat, phone number, and email. She tried to set up a video chat over email, which the fake Carmella avoided, and she wasn’t answering any of Amelia’s calls. This is what raised the red flags in the producer’s mind because calling a participant is a normal part of their interview process. Tyray, meanwhile, was unaware of what was happening, probably thinking he would begin filming the show with Carmella after going to Barbados a second time.
Christian Took $2000-3000 From Tyray
Carmella eventually emailed Amelia, saying she wanted to come clean. The call that took place was played on the set, and during the season, Tyray had not wanted to hear the call’s recording. The voice on the call belonged to Christian, who had been catfishing 90 Day Fiancé star Tyray for four to five years. He had created an account on a dating platform with his friend and had contacted several Americans. “I just look for a guy who maybe send money,” he confessed. Christian said Tyray had given him two to three thousand dollars over time.
Christian Was Watching Tyray In Barbados
Tyray had been dating Carmella for three years before he decided to go to Barbados. He was excited to be able to see the love of his life finally. Tyray booked his trip for five days, and because of the country’s regulations for COVID-19, Tyray was quarantined in a villa for three days. The plan was for Carmella to meet him in the villa on the third day.
Tyray said Carmella didn’t come to meet him. She said it was because of COVID-19. During the phone call with Amelia, Christian admitted he didn’t want things to go as far as they did. However, Christian asked Tyray to come to Barbados “Because I needed clothes and also cellular phone.”
Christian Thought Tyray Is A “Dumb, Stupid American”
Christian pretending to be Carmella had told Tyray to bring him clothing. He told him to come to a particular store and call him. All the while, Christian was waiting close by in a car. “Did you see him?” asked the producer. “What did you think?” she asked when Christian said yes. Christian replied, “That he was dumb, stupid American.” As Amelia described, the most shocking part of the conversation was Christian saying he physically saw Tyray dropping off the clothes and money at a designated area. She asserted that Christian watching Tyray was scary and creepy.
Christian Asked Tyray For His Private Photos
Looking back, what concerned Tyray the most about his interaction with Christian was his being asked for intimate photos. Tyray said he was caught in the moment and, unfortunately, sent him the photos. Tyray’s face was in the photos. He was scared of being blackmailed by Christian. Tyray was worried about them sending these pictures to his mom or his workplace. But perhaps now that Tyray’s story has been told and Christian has been exposed on an international level via 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, Tyray doesn’t need to worry about Christian doing anything to damage him.
