Stephanie Matto is never away from controversy and has kept making headlines since 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days Season 4? Stephanie was a 29-year-old from New York in the franchise’s first same-sex relationship. A YouTuber by profession, Stephanie had fallen for one of her followers, a 24-year-old photographer from Australia named Erika Owens. Stephanie identified as bisexual, but Erika was worried about coming out to her parents. Stephanie landed in Australia on the show where she met Erika for the first time. Their first date ending in tears was a sign of how the relationship would fare.
Jealousy threatened the relationship when Erika introduced Stephanie to her friends. Stephanie didn’t feel comfortable with Erika being friends with people she’d been intimate with in the past. As they kept arguing, they also faced a lack of intimacy in the storyline. Stephanie had yet to tell her mom about her sexual identity. Stephanie and Erika broke up after the latter told Stephanie about another ex-girlfriend. Stephanie dived back into the dating scene with 90 Day: The Single Life. However, her life off camera has been far more interesting, especially since she earned her viral fart jar girl title.
In November 2020, Stephanie’s Instagram followers wanted to know which 90 Day Fiancé cast member she was attracted to. The YouTuber told them it was the “hot redhead.” While fans didn’t understand who Stephanie was referring to, they probed her, and she gave more clues without really naming the person. Stephanie confessed it was “The one with the big b**bies and the glasses.” Stephanie meant Jess Caroline who used to be Colt Johnson’s girlfriend on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 5. Stephanie added that Jess was definitely her type.
Stephanie was diagnosed with aplastic anemia around four years ago. It is a rare bone marrow disorder that can be fatal. The disorder had put limitations on Stephanie’s life, including her ability to travel. She always needed permission and clearance from her doctors before going anywhere. The disorder, which is caused by the lack of stem cells in the blood, often has the patient feeling malaise. Even a common cold could be disastrous for Stephanie’s health. In December 2020, Stephanie posted a photo of a large, dark purple bruise on her arm. The disorder is known to cause random bodily bruising.
Stephanie officially launched her adult modeling platform Unfiltrd in 2021. Stephanie created the NSFW platform to give users more freedom after OnlyFans seemingly announced that it was banning explicit content. Stephanie wished for her platform to be seamless, user and creator-friendly. She also decided to add a feature which would allow creators to make phone calls with their fans, a feature that OnlyFans didn’t have. Several 90 Day Fiancé cast members have since joined Unfiltrd and are using it to generate income by posting modeling photos. Stephanie also allows creators to host private ticketed events and auctions on Unfiltrd.
In fact, Stephanie claimed she used Unfiltrd to sell her jars filled with her fart. She said she made $200,000 from selling her farts. Stephanie was selling these for $500 a pop and seemingly had people from all the over world paying for a whiff of her flatulence. Stephanie had to abruptly end her business because she was showcasing heart attack symptoms. The diet that she followed to produce the gas had seemingly landed her in hospital. 90 Day Fiancé fans refused to believe Stephanie’s outwardly claims. She’s also alluded to them being fake recently.
Stephanie said she was celibate since appearing on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. She joined 90 Day: The Single Life to end her celibacy. By then, Stephanie was also selling her boob sweat and was claiming she made $5,000 a day. She spoke about having chosen celibacy for many reasons, such as her experiences on the show where her relationship with Erika didn’t end well, trauma, and medication like Lupron. Stephanie didn’t find a love that would last on the show, but she did end her celibacy with a man she connected with online and traveled to Paris for.
Stephanie told ET that she will never share her relationship on the show again and wants to keep it under wraps and away from the spotlight. Stephanie refers to the man as “Frenchie.” According to her, the man is a businessman. He is adventurous and has several things in common with her. Stephanie feels it would be disrespectful for her to share details about him on the internet. Stephanie had told Shaun Robinson on 90 Day: The Single Life Tell All that she has a soulmate connection with her man.
Stephanie’s Frenchie is sexually adventurous like her and knows she is bisexual.
Stephanie released her book in January 2024. She called it “Bad Blood” and it was about her “epic journey from battling a blood disorder to selling farts in jars.” Stephanie was going to reveal the “biggest fraud” she had made. Stephanie could have been talking about her fart jars business but was also going to reveal the “truth” about her time on 90 Day Fiancé. Stephanie has now deleted the video where she said that the book was going to get her into a “LOT” of trouble. She admitted she had been “hiding so much” for a long time.
Stephanie said she had an awful experience dating a celebrity when she was 26 years old and living in Los Angeles. Stephanie is now 32 years old and had moved to the city to become an actress but ended up working as an exotic dancer.
He was not conventionally attractive, according to Stephanie, but he was her type with a “dad bod” and looked old, goofy, and mature. Stephanie went on a date to a comedy club with the man, after which she ended up at his house where they were up talking till 4 am.
The man ghosted Stephanie after the date, and she soon found herself making a profile on a Sugar Daddy website when things weren’t going too well at the club. The man contacted her on seeing her there and asked her to be “mean to him and to demand him to send me money on PayPal.” They went on two more dates and Stephanie wanted to be his girlfriend. However, the comedian told the 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star that there were three other women demanding money from him and being mean to him.
