Is Patrick Mendes the messiest 90 Day Fiancé star we’ve ever seen, or is he just really committed to the bit? Because honey, the tea is absolutely SCORCHING.
Turns out our beloved Brazilian bae was absolutely DROWNING in debt while playing house with wife Thais. We’re talking a whopping $141,000 in debt from credit card companies and banks—and get this, the lawsuits hit him in 2023, right before he filed for divorce on May 20. Talk about adding insult to injury! Court documents show Patrick was being sued by not one, not two, but THREE separate financial institutions. Oof, that’s what we call a financial catastrophe wrapped in a reality TV bow.
Let’s just say Patrick’s wallet wasn’t the only thing struggling in that marriage. While Thais was probably planning their future together, Patrick was apparently dodging creditors like he dodges accountability on the show. The man was literally being sued left, right, and center, and nobody bothered to mention it? The audacity! The audacity!
Fans are absolutely LOSING IT on social media, and honestly, we can’t blame them. One commenter wrote, “This explains SO much about their relationship drama!” Another sassy follower chimed in: “He couldn’t even manage his finances, so how was he gonna manage a marriage?” PREACH, bestie!
Here’s the thing that really gets us: while Patrick was potentially hiding six figures in debt, he was busy being a controlling mess on television. The man was concerned about every little thing Thais did, but apparently forgot to mention he was financially TANKED. That’s not just irresponsible—that’s downright deceptive.
The timing is absolutely chef’s kiss theatrical. You don’t just casually get sued by multiple companies and then file for divorce weeks later without there being some SERIOUS issues brewing. We’re not saying the debt caused the divorce, but we’re also not NOT saying it. Financial stress is literally the number one relationship killer, and this man was swimming in it.
Now everyone’s wondering: did Thais know about these debts? Was she blindsided? Did the producers know and just let the cameras roll anyway? The mystery deepens, and frankly, we’re HERE for it.
What do you think? A) Patrick intentionally hid his debts from Thais, B) They both knew and just didn’t care about the financial chaos
