90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days viewers were startled to hear that Ben Rathbun had been arrested for breaking his probation, but the 90 Day Fiancé personality has since been released on bail. Viewers previously noted that Ben’s bail had not been posted, despite spending half a day behind bars. After Ben spent over 18 hours in jail, he has been released, which has caused more buzz among viewers about his surprise arrest.

Viewers were disturbed that Ben uses his religion to justify dating a woman 30 years younger than him.
