Long before they filmed for 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way or began in-person surveillance of each other, Brandan and Mary’s twisted obsession showed itself in other ways.
Viewers have already seen more than enough of them to feel concerned.
But there’s more to this than 24/7 video monitoring and intense jealousy in both directions.
In a newly resurfaced video, we can see their hurtful emotional “mind games” play out.
Before Brandan De Nuccio and Mary Rosa signed up for 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, they were just a pair of (elder) Gen Z kids in love.
In love … but already requiring each other to video chat at all times. And both given to fits of extreme jealousy and paranoia.
That is perhaps more evident in a TikTok video that Mary posted herself than it is on the show. We’ll talk about why the show isn’t like this in a moment.
Mary simply turned off her camera when on a video chat with Brandan.
This allowed her to watch him, but not her.
She recorded her phone using a second device and captured his reaction as he was suddenly unable to see her.
Brandan De Nuccio repeatedly tries to get Mary Rosa to turn her camera back on during a May 2022 TikTok during a twisted “prank.” Unsettling.

The recording, which seems to be from May of 2022, then shows Mary seem to taunt Brandan.

“I want to but I’m not very pretty right now.” Mary replied, “I’m a mess right now.” Brandan was visibly upset and seemed to shake the camera as he spoke with her.

Mary encouraged Brandan who was standing in a kitchen to “eat
food,” though he refused because she wasn’t eating her own food.

wasn’t eating. The fans have many concerns. It’s not just 24/7 surveillance, but emotional spirals that can occur if the camera pauses. If the signal drops, she will accuse him of cheating.[his] (TLC)
Second, it’s a reminder that what we see on
On Brandan’s trip to see Mary, Mary basically dumped him for a woman sitting next to him. Even when he switched seats, it did not seem to stay her wrath.

So, why isn’t this what we’re seeing from them on the show?
that they’re on camera during the show.Obviously, they act up on the show. Mary cried over Brandan talking to his dental hygienist and acknowledging that he dated once before.Introducing Brandan and Mary by filming them while he sits on the toilet during a video call was a disturbing first impression, but an accurate one.

But when you’re an unreasonable person, you have a skewed idea of what’s normal to do on camera.
It wasn’t easy for Brandan’s mother to say goodbye to him as he moved to the Philippines. It was his first time to leave the US.

The show’s editing caters to that.Brandan De Nuccio and Mary Rosa got married, as this Facebook photo his mother Angela Stiggins shared at the time illustrates. The show’s editing caters to that.

But what they have is extremely unhealthy and toxic. And it’s destructive — not just to their other relationships and careers, but to themselves.
