90 Day Fiancé: Mike Announces He's A 'Receipt Keeper Of All Facts'
Mike Berk from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days claimed the truth about his relationship with Ximen Morales will be out soon via his shocking Instagram bio. Mike, a 34-year-old from New York became an instant fan-favorite upon his 90 Day Fiancé debut. But it didn’t take long when fans refused to give him any sympathy for the menacing way in which he acted with Ximena after she broke up with him. Mike asking Ximena to return his gifts or refusing to leave her house because he pays her rent is being constantly called out by fans. However, Mike is now ready to reveal some receipts as he’s blaming his bad behavior on the edit.
When 24-year-old Ximena returned her rings to Mike and said she could do modeling to feed her family, Mike asked her if she was going back to her job in adult entertainment. Mike’s plan to humiliate Ximena backfired when she revealed he lied about meeting her on Tinder and that they met when she was working as a webcam model. The usually composed Mike exposed his dark side by telling Ximena she was losing the “best thing” she could have ever had by dumping him. Her reply was that the best thing she could have had are her kids. An enraged Mike refused to take no for an answer, accusing Ximena of using him for money and proceeded to call her a “mean, evil, cold, *****” when she was just trying to protect herself.
Mike mentioning that he felt like a “third-class citizen” on his trip or even verbally abusing Ximena's mother with his offensive words ensured fans had had enough of him on their TV screens. But as noticed by Redditor throwawayfinalform56, Mike is now “itching to break that NDA” by referring to himself as the “receipt keeper of ALL FACTS” on Instagram. Mike added, “Msgs & $$ req/trans,” to his bio. This appears to be Mike’s way of saying he has proof that Ximena has asked him for money since he has transferred it. Ximena told the 90 Day Fiancé cameras that she never forced Mike to send her money and that he had offered to help her financially from the start when she’s fully capable of taking care of herself and her kids.
Mike is now saying that there are “three sides” to the story. He’s listed the three sides as “raw,” which he calls “truth,” along with “edited & what airs.” He also mentioned that his truth will be out “soon.” In the Reddit thread, fans have commented that they really don’t care if Ximena even asked Mike for money because it is he who made the relationship transactional and asked Ximena to leave her job because he would “help” her. TLC viewer BoredinBoston524 commented, “I’ll pay $ to see Mike explain the difference between ‘edited’ and ‘what airs’” Another Reddit user spookysouthernxicana posted, “Whatever receipts he has doesn’t change the fact that we all saw him being straight up abusive on National television. You can’t edit that.”
In a previous Instagram Story that Mike posted after 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days episode 15 aired, he claimed that the constant criticism was affecting his mental health. He spoke about being drained as a result of the memes and jokes, which have lasting effects. Mike continued to slam blogs and articles for ridiculing him, even though fans’ opinions are based entirely on his controversial actions. Ximena staying headstrong while Mike shamed and berated her further helped him dig his own grave. It’ll only take a miracle for Mike to gain fans’ trust and make Ximena fix things with him again.
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
