90 Day Fiancé: Signs Brandon Gibbs is a Clout Chaser with Ulterior Motives

90 Day Fiancé alum Brandon Gibbs appears to be taking center stage as a clout chaser within the franchise. He and his Russian wife, Julia Trubkina, first graced our screens in Season 8 of 90 Day Fiancé, which premiered in December 2020. Now featured on Season 2 of 90 Day: The Last Resort, they are discussing their alleged marital challenges. At the time of their debut, Brandon, then 31, was employed in pest control and still living at his family’s farm in Dinwiddie, Virginia.

Brandon’s journey began when he connected with Julia, then 26, through a friend who met her while she was living in South Korea. He traveled there, and they instantly clicked. Throughout their saga, Brandon’s parents, Ron and Betty Gibbs, have consistently influenced their storylines, gaining a fan base of their own. After observing Brandon’s actions within the franchise for an extended period, I am increasingly convinced that his motives are primarily self-serving, focused on clout and personal gain.

Brandon & Julia’s 90 Day Fiancé Journey

Brandon’s Parents Are Very Involved

Brandon and Julia faced significant hurdles when they began their marriage, primarily due to Julia’s reluctance to live on Brandon’s parents’ farm. She felt that Ron and Betty exerted too much control over their lives, leading her to urge Brandon to establish independence. By the time they reached Happily Ever After? Season 6, they had moved out and settled in Richmond, Virginia, where Julia expressed her longing for children—a sentiment Brandon disagreed with, believing they were not ready.

Julia’s emotional responses, particularly jealousy, were underscored in both their initial appearances and in Happily Ever After. Over the years, she explored various job opportunities, including a stint as a personal trainer, ultimately settling on dog training. In a notable moment during 90 Day Diaries, Julia expressed interest in becoming a dancer at a strip club, a suggestion met with strong disapproval from Brandon.

Surprisingly, after a hiatus from major network shows, they were announced as participants in the current season of 90 Day: The Last Resort. This season has revealed a shift in dynamics; while Brandon desires children more than ever, Julia seems to have reversed her earlier stance. Furthermore, they once boasted about their vibrant sex life, which now appears to have diminished significantly.

Brandon has voiced concerns that Julia is more interested in having fun than in addressing their marriage issues. Observations from the ongoing season lead me to believe that their conflicts may not be entirely genuine, as Brandon seems motivated by ulterior motives.

He Is Trying To Be A Content Creator

Possible split between Brandon and Julia

Brandon’s activity within the 90 Day Fiancé franchise increasingly suggests a quest for relevance. His multiple appearances seem tailored to enhance his status as a public figure. This notion is supported by his proactive presence on social media, where he boasts an impressive following of 232,000 on Instagram.

Through his posts, Brandon reveals a clear desire to transition into a career as a content creator and influencer. Notably absent are mentions of his former pest control job, which indicates a shift toward seeking fame.

With an OnlyFans account and a Cameo profile, Brandon is evidently striving to cultivate an influential online presence, driving traffic to his paid offerings.

Brandon often shares eye-catching motorcycle feats, dance clips, and revealing photos on his Instagram, which signal his pursuit of social recognition and validation. Observations suggest that his participation in the franchise is more about cultivating a television persona than remedying his relationship with Julia. His consistent promotion of episodes from 90 Day: The Last Resort reinforces the notion that his priority lies in visibility rather than his reputation with fans, echoing the patterns established by other franchise clout chasers like Angela Deem and Jasmine Pineda.

They Are In A Happy Relationship

Another indicator of Brandon’s purported clout-chasing motives is the perception that he and Julia’s storyline on 90 Day: The Last Resort may be fabricated. I suspect that their narratives are constructed to garner attention and maintain screen time.

Brandon’s apparent aim is to enhance his follower count to facilitate his ambition of becoming a social media influencer instead of reverting to a traditional job.

Julia previously expressed a strong desire for children, only to undergo a sudden change of heart that hasn’t been adequately explained, leading me to believe they have invented this baby narrative to remain compelling for the audience. Observing their dynamic, it appears that they are indeed satisfied in their marriage, undermining the need for couples therapy.

Recently, they shared details of a joyous Euro trip filled with happy posts, contradicting the conflicts presented on-screen. This juxtaposition further erodes their credibility. Brandon’s frequent posting indicates his role as the strategist behind their continued visibility in the 90 Day Fiancé landscape. After The Last Resort, I would advocate that TLC reconsider granting Brandon a platform that permits him to mislead the audience further.

90 Day: The Last Resort airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
