90 Day Fiancé: Alina Breaks Her Silence After Being Fired For Racist Posts
Russian singer Alina Kozhevnikova posted a nearly hour-long apology video after being fired from 90 Day Fiancé over old social media posts that recently resurfaced, which mocked different races and religions. Alina began appearing on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5 in December with American co-star Caleb Greenwood. The racist posts made TLC publish a statement about how they’ve discontinued filming with Alina and that she won’t appear in the Tell-All, any more seasons of the franchise and any future episodes of Before the 90 Days. Episode 9 of the spin-off concluded Alina and Caleb’s storyline, in which he broke up with her because she’s a little person.

This included one from 2014 on Facebook where Alina described a racist party she had been invited to in her country by using the N-word eight times. And in another one dated 2017, she was seen wearing a sari alongside a caption that mentioned becoming a 134th wife. Yet another post from 2015 saw Alina gushing over Hugh Grant, but she seemed to be sad over his wife being Asian.
