90 Day Fiance: Geoffrey Paschel Talks About His 'Broken Family' In IG Post
Geoffrey Paschel's reflecting on the custody battles for his kids. He wants fans to learn from his mistakes by doing their best for their children.
The former 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days star Geoffrey Paschel recently got emotional about his "broken family" on Instagram. He wrote a lengthy and thoughtful note about how his "hypocrisy" (and his desire to win a custody battle) led his kids to lose "an important piece" of their lives.
Many TLC viewers will remember that Geoffrey appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 4 alongside his Russian fiancée Varya Malina. Geoffrey was reluctant to share details about his past during the show, which made fans curious about his romantic history. Eventually, it was revealed that he was apparently married four times before, and two of his ex-wives had accused him of domestic abuse against them. Most recently, in June 2019, one of his ex-girlfriends accused him of kidnapping, domestic assault, interference with a 911 call, and vandalism. After learning these horrifying details, many fans asked TLC to stop featuring Geoffrey on reality TV. He was also banned from the "Tell All" segment. However, the Tennessee native didn't plead guilty to any of the charges. He made a YouTube video and addressed all of the charges, claiming that the three women faked allegations due to jealousy and resentment. Due to these allegations and subsequent arrests, he also had to fight for custody of his sons.
At the moment, he appears to have primary custody of his two older sons, Dakota and Paxton, who live with him in Tennessee. He has shared custody of his third son, Cayvan. This holiday season, the former reality TV star Geoffrey Paschel is recalling a time when he was too desperate to win custody battles against his ex-wives, to get back at them for the pain that they had caused him. On his recent Geoffrey Paschel Instagram post, he is reflecting. He feels that his pride pushed him to have a "broken family" and believed he removed "an important piece of my children's lives." Here's a picture he shared with his IG followers:
Varya's on-screen fiancé said, "There is NO winner whatsoever: only losers—and those losers are the children." Fortunately, he learned from his mistake and "refocused to ensure they didn't lose in the end—due to MY own hypocrisy." He wrote, "I altered my experience to accept the greater good as opposed to my own selfish needs."
The father-of-three Geoffrey Paschel concluded his post by urging his followers who might be in the same situation to be the "bigger person and suck it up." He thinks that the fight between the exes doesn't matter as parents are just the "pawns," and kids are the real "Kings and Queens." The 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days alum Geoffrey wished his fans Merry Christmas and urged them to learn from his mistakes.
