The 90 Day Fiancé franchise has seen plenty of villains over the years. One of these notorious cast members is Ed Brown, who has appeared in several different spin-offs. Ed’s journey began on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days, when he flew to the Philippines to meet his ex Rose Vega. After their relationship went south, Ed began dating and later got engaged to Liz Woods. About a dozen break-ups later, Ed canceled his wedding to Liz which concluded their relationship for good as well.
Ed was considered the ultimate 90 Day Fiancé villain for some time but that may have finally changed. Like Ed once did, Loren Allen recently traveled to the Philippines for love on Before The 90 Days Season 7. Loren finally met his girlfriend Faith Gatoc Tulod in person but he was hiding a lot from her. Unfortunately for Faith, Loren’s secrets were a lot worse than she ever expected. In only a few episodes, Loren has already managed to surpass Ed as the worst 90 Day Fiancé villain yet.
Loren Allen lied to Faith about his plans to move to The Philippines
Loren has been dishonest with Faith from the beginning. The entire premise of Before The 90 Days involves the American cast member traveling overseas to meet their international partner for the first time. Faith expected Loren to only stay in The Philippines for a few weeks and honestly so did we.
It was a shock when Loren admitted that he hoped to stay in The Philippines permanently after meeting Faith. Before even getting on the plane, Loren explained that he didn’t really have plans of coming back to the US. Loren wasn’t making great money in America, so he felt that it would make more sense to live with Faith in The Philippines. While he was more than happy to share this with producers, he didn’t convey it to Faith.
Loren finally came clean to Faith during dinner with her family. When asked what his plan was for him and Faith, Loren revealed that he saw himself staying in The Philippines. Loren then added that he was technically homeless in America and only stayed in other people’s homes. Faith was surprised to hear this, as she was under the impression that she would be moving to the US to be with Loren. It was wrong of Loren to hide such a big secret from Faith and to assume that she would have no problem with him moving to The Philippines.
Loren cheated on Faith, which resulted in him contracting an STD
Loren’s next mistake was much worse than withholding his plans to move to The Philippines. Before he embarked on his trip, Loren discussed his dreams of having an open relationship. It was evident that this wasn’t something Faith was ok with and that he didn’t even really discuss it with her. To make matters worse, Loren was already acting as if he was in an official open relationship. Shortly before leaving for The Philippines, Loren had been sleeping with other people.
A few days after arriving, Loren and Faith went on a romantic getaway to a waterfall. Everything was going great until Loren decided to drop another big bomb on her. Right before the excursion, Loren found out that he had gonorrhea which he received from sleeping with another woman. This took place while he and Faith were dating online, so Faith was understandably angry to learn what was going on. Faith told Loren that she felt betrayed as he had cheated on her, while he tried to act like he hadn’t done anything wrong.
Loren hasn’t taken accountability for any of his mistakes, which makes him come off as even more of a villain. In just a few days, Faith found out that Loren planned to move to her country permanently after cheating on her which caused him to contract an STD. Loren didn’t see a problem with any of this but Faith and viewers certainly do.
Ed Brown was bad but nowhere near as bad as Loren
Like Loren, Ed was considered one of the biggest 90 Day Fiancé villains of his time. Viewers began to dislike Ed when they saw how he treated Rose on Before The 90 Days Season 4. Ed embarrassed Rose on numerous occasions by telling her that she had bad breath and that he wanted her to shave her legs. Later on, during his relationship with Liz, fans felt that Ed wasn’t respectful toward her either. Ed made controversial moves like breaking up with Liz out of nowhere and ultimately canceling their wedding behind her back.
There’s no doubt that Ed had bad moments but they weren’t as bad as Loren’s. For starters, Ed was always upfront with his partners about how he was feeling. While he said controversial things at times, he never blindsided anyone the way Loren did to Faith. Furthermore, Ed never cheated on any of his partners. Cheating is one of the worst things you can do in a relationship and Loren crossed a line with that.
To put it frankly, Ed wasn’t a great partner but Loren is a pretty terrible one. Ed did take accountability at times and even went to therapy to work on himself. Loren, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to have any remorse for his actions at all. Neither men are 90 Day Fiancé favorites but Ed is certainly miles above Loren.
