90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days fans already had a negative opinion of Ben Rathbun after season 5, but his actions at the Tell-All have caused viewers to label Ben misogynistic. Ben has been controversial among viewers, as the 52-year-old man is pursuing a relationship with 22-year-old Peruvian native Mahogany Roca, despite her asking him not to visit her. Now, 90 Day Fiancé viewers are labeling Ben’s creepy discussion before the Tell-All as troubling and misogynistic.
For many Before the 90 Days viewers, Ben has been a red flag from the start. The former pastor insisted that God wanted him to be with a woman three decades younger than him, even though she was not interested in having a relationship with him. Mahogany appeared visibly uncomfortable around Ben after she asked him to not board his flight to Peru to ambush her in person. Despite Mahogany making it clear that she was uncomfortable around Ben and only viewed him as a friend, he continued to pursue her. Ben then had a troubling conversation with fellow Americans Kimberly Menzies and Mike Berk in the studio before the Tell-All.

Reddit user Wise_Contribution883 shared a clip of Ben’s predator discussion online with the caption, "If you needed ANOTHER example of his horrible perception… here you go. Basically affirming he's a predator."
