Is this cast member from 90 Day Fiancé engaging in psychological manipulation with her partner? (She could rival Angela Deem & Kim Menzies in cunning)
Jasmine Pineda from 90 Day Fiancé is extremely manipulative towards Gino Palazzolo, and her past actions prove that. The Panamanian reality star kicked off her reality TV journey in 2021. She joined 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5 alongside her American partner, Gino, to showcase her dramatic love story. Initially, Jasmine seemed like a passionate woman who cared about her relationship more than anything else. She was insecure and jealous but did everything to ensure what was best for herself and Gino. She even forgave him for forwarding her explicit photos to his ex.
Unfortunately, Jasmine’s demeanor changed when she returned to 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 6 the next year. She became more self-centered. Apart from picking fights with Gino, Jasmine did many things to sabotage her relationship. She got an apartment in the same building as her ex-boyfriend. She stopped reciprocating Gino’s efforts and started sharing intimate details about their relationship on TV. In 2023, Jasmine finally traveled to the United States on a K-1 visa. While she felt unhappy in Michigan, she didn’t let that stop her from marrying Gino to ensure her future in America.

Jasmine’s reputation suffered a significant blow due to her manipulative tactics. A few clear instances of this were in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 6, where she resorted to various strategies to manipulate Gino into complying with her demands. One of the episodes showed Jasmine trying to control Gino by making him jealous. She continued to argue with him and ultimately lied to him, saying she cheated on him. Jasmine attempted to purposely hurt Gino, which led him to call off their wedding and break up with her.
“Jasmine had thought she could get away with anything in her relationship with Gino without repercussions.”
However, the sudden breakup made her realize that she had crossed the line and Gino was willing to give up on her. It made her go into defense mode and do everything possible to fix the situation before it was too late. Jasmine took the engagement ring out to make Gino feel he was the love of her life. She then knelt and asked him to take her as his fiancée again. She pushed Gino to reconcile with her.
Jasmine Used Her Ex-Boyfriend To Break Gino’s Spirits
Jasmine Always Wants To Show Gino She’s Superior To Him
When Jasmine debuted on the show, she seemed like a romantic woman with a big heart. She bought meaningful gifts for Gino and expressed her love for him. Unfortunately, her behavior changed drastically in 2023. When she returned to the spin-off, she began showing major red flags and exposed herself. One of the worst things Jasmine did to Gino was play mind games and use her ex-boyfriend, Dane, to make him jealous. She also made some outrageous statements about the nature of her relationship with her former boyfriend just to hurt Gino.
Jasmine went too far by staying in touch with Dane in Panama while Gino was in the United States. She then used Gino’s money to get an apartment in the same building as her ex-boyfriend without thinking about how it would make her look. The mom of two later used her history with Dane to get back at Gino. Jasmine tried to break Gino’s spirits by claiming she was still in a physical relationship with Dane and even had videos to prove it.
“What Jasmine did was extremely manipulative and may not work out for her in the long run.”
Jasmine Wants To Change Gino
Jasmine Wants To Turn Gino Into A Vegan Secretly
Jasmine is a proud vegan who loves encouraging others to adopt her lifestyle. Over the years, she has tried her best to manipulate Gino into changing his eating habits. She even admitted in 90 Day Fiancé season 10 that her goal is slowly transitioning Gino to veganism without letting him know. While it’s great that Jasmine enjoys vegetables and doesn’t rely on meat or dairy, it doesn’t give her the right to alter someone else’s lifestyle. If Jasmine loved Gino, she should’ve accepted him despite his eating habits.

Jasmine Convinced Her Sister-In-Law To Speak To Gino On Her Behalf
Many viewers felt Jasmine would give up on her mind games after her marriage. However, she doubled up on her toxic behavior and even recently tried to manipulate Gino’s family. In 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8, Jasmine met Gino’s cousin Dana’s wife, Michelle, and tried to get her on her side by crying in front of her. Jasmine told Michelle that Gino made a huge mistake by not listing her sons’ names in the fiancé petition. She exclaimed, “I don’t know what to do. I wanna go back home.”
Jasmine acted helpless until her sister-in-law said she’d talk to Gino about everything. The 90 Day Fiancé star then quickly reverted to her manipulative behavior. She replied, “I don’t want you guys to feel, like, you have the pressure to get involved.” If Jasmine didn’t want her in-laws to be part of her marital issues, she shouldn’t have cried about it in front of them.
“Jasmine’s interaction with Michelle and her overall behavior only made it look like her goal was purely to get the upper hand on Gino.”

She acknowledged that all her past threats of divorce were never real but only tactics to gain control of her husband, and it was only recently that she truly felt she needed to go back to her home country. The scene made the 90 Day Fiancé star look like a big exploiter.
