Conflict Escalates Between 90 Day Fiancé Stars Jasmine Pineda and Natalie Mordovtseva
90 Day: The Last Resort has set the stage for a heated rivalry between two of the show’s most notorious cast members, Jasmine Pineda and Natalie Mordovtseva. Both women have faced tumultuous romantic journeys, having previously navigated failed marriages in their home countries. Jasmine and Natalie each called off their engagements just prior to relocating to the U.S., and their stories have converged interestingly.
Natalie’s departure from her marriage to Mike Youngquist in 2020 was the first of its kind in their shared narrative, and to this day, she remains unwilling to finalize the divorce in 2024. Jasmine, on the other hand, followed a similar path, parting ways with Gino a mere few months post their June 2023 wedding. As they both strive for modeling careers, time is not on their side. Despite their common goals and experiences, tensions have erupted following a situation involving Natalie’s boyfriend, Josh Weinstein, and fellow cast member Sophie Sierra.
Josh’s Flirtation with Sophie Raises Eyebrows
During the first episode of 90 Day: The Last Resort, Sophie disclosed to Jasmine, Gino, Julia, and Brandon that Josh had been messaging her on Instagram and inviting her to Las Vegas. Initially perceiving the interaction as friendly, Sophie soon noticed that Josh was sending her flirtatious emoji reactions, including fire and heart-eyed emojis on her gym photos. Rob speculated that Josh was “testing the waters.”
“And that’s when he was like, I’m going to Vegas.”
Rob advised Sophie to respond to the emojis to gauge Josh’s reaction. Sensing something amiss, Sophie became wary of his invitation to Vegas, especially given that this occurred soon after he and Natalie had recently married on-screen—meaning Josh had no clue she was single again. Jasmine was quick to point out that Josh’s behavior was inappropriate and warranted confrontation.

Jasmine’s Thirst for Drama
90 Day Fiancé‘s Rob maintained a calm demeanor when Sophie shared the developments with him, dismissing the situation as Josh merely playing around. He felt it provided a valuable insight into his own relationship with Sophie, acknowledging that their issues were less significant than those between Josh and Natalie.
However, trouble was brewing when Natalie observed Josh and Sophie chatting at the bar. Even their light banter infuriated Natalie, who later declared,
“She’s taking my man.”

Amidst the chaos, Stacey Silva attempted to calm Natalie down, yet Natalie showed little willingness to engage in a mature conversation. Instead, she resorted to name-calling, branding Sophie as a “h***er”and claiming she was not a “normal woman.”Sophie countered, pointing out her youth and Natalie’s insecurities.

Jasmine’s Direct Approach
Despite efforts from Sophie to explain her position, Natalie stormed out in tears. Upon returning, she exacerbated the conflict by knocking Sophie’s drink from her hand, nearly injuring Jasmine in the process. Furious, Jasmine confronted Natalie as she tried to leave, stating, “Fix it. You started it, you fix it.” Jasmine firmly told Natalie to stop with her games, showcasing her frustration with Natalie’s erratic behavior. “You’re crazy, but don’t mess with me, Natalie,” Jasmine warned her co-star.
“And stop insulting women. You are very disrespectful, and you have a big mouth, and you think that you’re better than any other woman.”
Jasmine chastised Natalie for being involved with a man who seemed indifferent to her, demanding an apology for throwing the glass, which Natalie stubbornly refused to give. Jasmine expressed her exhaustion over Natalie’s bratty behavior, stating, “And that’s why you are alone when no man can deal with it.”

During the confrontation, Natalie attempted to mask her emotions despite the tears welling in her eyes.

Signs of Continued Tension
Recent posts by Jasmine on Instagram, which seem to target Natalie, indicate that any reconciliation was unlikely during the filming of 90 Day: The Last Resort. Rather than move past the tensions, Jasmine opted for a more provocative approach, sharing an image from Las Vegas with the caption, I went to Vie gas, a veiled jab at Natalie’s English skills, likely aiming to escalate the drama via social media.
