Months after viewers blasted Mahogany Roca for flaunting a fake house 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, her partner on the show, Ben Rathbun has revealed what exactly happened. Ben and Mahogany’s relationship was an odd one; from fan thinking Mahogany was not real to the fact that he was old enough to be her father.
Fans didn’t like the fact that Ben left his wife and grown up kids for Mahogany. Fans’ warnings and concerns for Ben fell on deaf ears as he kept insisting that Mahogany was real. Eventually, they met, and she turned out to be real even though she didn’t look anything like her social media pictures.

Ben and Mahogany’s love story became more confusing when she showed him her apartment that featured bunk beds, tourist pamphlets and even a surfboard with no décor to indicate she lived there. Ben was surprised because she earlier claimed that she lived with her parents. However, the situation was not addressed during Tell-all, and fans didn’t get the answers they wanted.

Now, Ben had a chat with TV host, podcaster and comedian Sarah Fraser on The Sarah Fraser Show, where he shared that while Mahogany’s house wasn’t an Airbnb as fans thought, it was still a “rent by the month” apartment. The former pastor also defended her that she never used the $1,000 she took as a loan from him to rent the place.
He said that wintertime in Peru is when it’s summer in America, and things become expensive because there aren’t many tourists. He went on to say that “So she rents out an apartment, you know, seasonally, and it’s hers,” Ben shared. He continued to share that Mahogany was going to stay for only six or seven months, so she didn’t want to move everything or decorate the house. He said she returns to her parent’s house during summertime. “So she just happened to be living there,” Ben added. He said she rents her apartment out during the off-season.
Fans were convinced that Mahogany was a scammer when they first saw the apartment. Her filtered pictures made things even worse. But now, they know that she is just a young lady who loves filters and doesn’t like revealing her real age to older men. Some even think she doesn’t want her real home to be broadcasted all over the world, and they praised her for outing her safety first.
