Andrei Castravet is sharing his side of what he calls “this season’s highlight” of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever Season 9.
In case you missed it, the final part of this season’s Tell-All aired Sunday night and primarily focused on the… dysfunctional Miami friend group: Andrei and his wife Elizabeth Potthast, Yara Zaya and Jovi Dufren, and Loren and Alex Brovarnik. The three couples went into the Tell-All with friendships broken, particularly the once-strong bond between Loren and Elizabeth.
In a series of posts to Instagram made after the finale aired, Andrei had a lot to say.
One of the group’s largest blowup moments was early in the season when Loren and Alex invited the two other couples to a housewarming party; Loren and Alex’s friend, Noga, was also in attendance, which became quite an issue for Andrei. Loren and Andrei got into an argument over him wanting to move his family to Moldova without Elizabeth’s consent, and Noga jumped in to defend Loren, calling Andrei a prick.
In this week’s episode, Tell-All host Shaun Robinson invited Noga on to share her side of the story and clear the air with Andrei, which did not go well. Andrei, kindly calling Noga “Doga” because, in his words, “she’s barking like a dog and there’s no action,” immediately became defensive with her. The situation escalated even more when Noga stood by her comments from the party.
There was no resolution from the Tell-All, which prompted Andrei’s Instagram post on Sunday night. Andrei started off the video addressing ongoing criticism from fans saying that he and Elizabeth have been a part of the “90 Day” franchise for far too long.
“We’ve been [a part of ’90 Day’] for almost 10 years and there’s a reason for that,” he insisted. “We show up, we stay real, we deliver every single season and this time was no different.”
Andrei claimed that Noga was “very nice to everyone, being social” before “the entire atmosphere flipped.” He went on to say that she was “[disguised as] a friend of a friend” but was actually just “a fan girl who went into some kind of an outrage, outburst, aggression for no reason at all.”
Andrei posted a reel on IG where he claimed he was upset that Noga also yelled in front of everyone’s kids and his parents who don’t speak English. We didn’t see anyone but I watched it back and think the rant she goes on at the end (in the house) might’ve been directed at Andrei’s sweet parents.

He also revealed that, allegedly, Alex told him that Noga “wasn’t in a stable place” at the time after “coming out of a disastrous relationship.” Andrei explained that he could empathize with her, but could not excuse her behavior because of the “lines that should never be crossed.”
He revealed, “off camera, my kids were right there. My parents who were babysitting my kids were right there. Literally, there were like 10 little ones running around while all of this was happening.
“In that moment, she was spitting fire, yelling at my older parents [who don’t] even speak English, screaming [at] them, creating chaos in front of all of these kids that have nothing to do with any of that,” he added.
According to Andrei, Elizabeth was “stunned” at the blowup argument.

“She never thought that somebody connected through such a relationship with [Loren and Alex] could do something to her like that. Literally, like how could you do something like that?” he said.
Andrei claimed that this first incident caused him to reflect and “ask [himself], ‘Who am I really letting around my family? Who is around me when I’m filming?’”
On Monday afternoon, Andrei posted a follow-up video to share some behind-the- scenes details about filming the Tell-All, reminding fans, “Just remember you’re only seeing a fraction.”
He then went on to reveal that after the housewarming party, he and Loren had apologized to each other off-camera, but she “showed up at the Tell-All [as] just a different person, but that’s their journey.”
He summed up his video (and this season) by saying, “I’m glad that this season is behind us and I’m moving forward right now with clarity, peace, and zero tolerance for this kind of energy.”

Andre is beyond a dick. And Libby? That she stands up for him and his foul mouth says a lot about her. Send his ass back to Moldova. Does Libby even know that Moldova is the poorest country in all of Europe? That she can do much better raising her kids alone and not around a foul mouthed jackass? Frankly I did not like her family but I would turn my back on Libby and Andre in a heart beat. 10 to 1 he beats the crap out of Libby. And now that her dad is gone, god only knows what Andre is capable of.
I’m also now starting to wonder if chuck offered him a job and was always around and befriended Andre to keep a eye on Elizabeth cause he seen Andre for the dangerous male he is.
Like they say keep your friends close and you enemies closer.
We all know chuck was a great dad and grandad and any great parent would put themselves in danger to keep their child safe.
Imagine using you 10-year tenure on a TLC show as proof of your authenticity and work ethic, lmao
Andre see women has beneath him, belittles and bullies them.
He don’t like noga cause she stood up to him, him calling her dogs was his way of trying to get his “power” back but it didn’t work.
Elizabeth stormed off the show cause Kara said how disrespectful Andre is and how Elizabeth is blind to his behaviour.
Elizabeth didn’t like that it was being pointed out the problem wasn’t noga it was Andre.
And when Andre brought up about jovi wanting to divorce yara he was just trying to get the fire off himself.
Andre and Elizabeth have tried ruining Loren and Alex’s marriage and now trying to destroy yara and jovis marriage also he got between Jasmine and Matt.
It’s obvious cause Andre and Elizabeth marriage is in the s**t they want to ruin others to.
Andre is disgusting I can’t wait till a strong a** women takes him down, he’s also a very dangerous male.
Has a person who makes their partner disown family and friends so all they have is the partner, are controlling, abusive, manipulating and in many cases end up in prison.
If Andre loves Moldova so much why did he run away from it before he even met Elizabeth, I want to know the truth not the he was being threatened bs he came up with.
I am sorry but Andrei is a fake ass, pathetic excuse for a human. He’s an adult bully that is entitled and out of line- period. He doesn’t respect anyone- including Elizabeth. I cannot imagine him as a husband. She only does it because she knows no American man that is relatively good looking would want anything to do with her. Andrei bullies EVERYONE. He also has managed to isolate Elizabeth (who is no prize herself) from her family and friends. My belief, is he does this on purpose so she will feel like she has nothing tying her here and he can eventually move her to Moldova like he’s clearly been planning to do all along. Libby tried to act all big and bad (as per usual- eyeroll) in that one episode when she was home after leaving him in Moldova, saying he betrayed her (which he did) and how he wasn’t the man she married and she was going to address the $75K and she wouldn’t put up with anything but an actual answer… blah blah blah. What did she do once he came home and literally gave her a half assed response to where the money went and some flowers? Folded. They both absolutely disgusted me with trying to start shit between Loren and Alex saying Alex “body shamed” Loren, when clearly he was trying to support his wife and they took that and twisted it. Sounds like to me, they were projecting how THEY felt about Loren’s figure because they are both insanely shallow. They are both gross people and honestly it’ll be VERY interesting to see what happens now that Chuck (RIP) is gone. There is now no one to pay Libby an obscene amount of money to do little to no work and no one to fund Andrei’s insane “business” ventures, or their lifestyle. You KNOW he was paying for everything. They may get an inheritance or life insurance payout of some sort but knowing them, they’ll blow through it and there is no one they can run to for money anymore. I would not be surprised if he’s physically abused her. He tries to act all tough but he can’t even provide for his family. SMH Seriously I detest him and Elizabeth.
I can’t stand Andrei or Libby. I hope they are no longer on the show!
There are far more despicable people on the show (Jasmine for example). Yes, Andrei can be a dick but I don’t mind him. He just says what he thinks. He can be immature but who cares? That’s pretty much today’s standard anyway. All of social media is proof of it.
I agree. He openly talks about how people are “two faced” and he “shows his teeth.” Can he be abrasive, absolutely. But at least he’s not a fake who just plays to the fans. I do however despise Jovi. He’s a bad husband. I did not like Ed either. He completely fleeced Rose by lying about his vasectomy and he only wanted to take advantage of her situation to use her for her beauty and his sexual satisfaction.
Lauren has always got a beef with someone. She is so shady and has an amazing ability to throw that shade on others.
Why is she on this show.
Do you notice every tell all they say they have to get out of there- plainly saying they are too good to be around the rest of the group.
I don’t think they’ll last much longer on the show due to their unwillingness to share openly like the rest of the cast does. At least that’s my hope.
I can’t stomach him. He is nothing but a bully who acts like a child. I don’t understand why she hasn’t already left his a**. I am sure he flies off the handle at home in front of their kids too. That’s something those kids will carry with them for ever. It’s sad that her dad Chuck isn’t here anymore because he didn’t hold back on anything. I had to FF through him talking at the tell all because I cringe when he speaks. They need to get that couple off the show, or they will be condoning his behavior and that’s not a good look.
I’m not sure why Andrei is trying to act like some poor little picked upon victim. Now he says that he was mad that Noga was yelling in front of his kids. He was also yelling in front of his kids which I expect he does daily. He is a bully and he always has been. Andrei is a grown adult calling another grown adult “Doga” instead of “Noga” because he thinks it’s clever and funny. In reality it shows his immaturity. Andrei was the kid going around on the playground in kindergarten pushing little girls down and then making it be their fault they fell. I absolutely cannot stand him or Elizabeth.
Well said. Feel free to ignore, but are you also on the bravoRH subreddit? There is a nice user on that sub with a similar name, i mostly noticed because they have similar medical issues with pain.
Im just a lurker there, but if thats you waves. Im disabled and bored, but can really be physically active so I surf the web a lot. Im thinking of starting some of the TLC shows though after finding The Ashley through a Reddit reference.
These two have burned through every friend and family member since this show started. Why would anyone want to befriend them? That is one truly abusive man & anyone who defends that is just as messed up as they are. Good on Lauren’s friend for calling him out for being so disrespectful. TLC please stop making us watch these two horrible losers. It’s not fun to watch.
The one thing said at the tell all that is true , Andre IS a dick !
