Andrei Castravet insists that he’s done with the “90 Day Fiancé” franchise, though the same cannot be said for his marriage to wife Elizabeth Potthast– at least for now, anyway.
In a new interview with “90 Day Fiancé” blogger John Yates, Andrei was asked about the recent speculation among fans that he and Elizabeth are no longer together. In response, Andrei revealed that, after being together for 10 years, he and Elizabeth are “just kind of doing [their] own thing” at the moment.
“We’re like, you know, working it out,” he revealed. “We’re still in the same house, you know, like, we’re doing [that] for the kids … we’ll see what happens, you know … .”
Those who follow Andrei and/or Elizabeth on social media have likely noticed the TLC stars’ respective vague posts over the last month or so, with some of their content not-so-subtly hinting that there may be trouble in paradise.
While the content in question has garnered plenty of comments from frustrated fans who’ve accused the husband and wife of portraying a false narrative in preparation for another “90 Day” spinoff, both Andrei and Elizabeth have maintained that there will be “no more TLC” for them.
In fact, just last month, Andrei told a fan on Instagram that he “will not be participating in any more trash [TV] shows,” as he isn’t “getting paid enough.” Instead, Andrei promised that a new project with a “new formula” is in the works.
While Andrei opted not to go into detail about his and Elizabeth’s marriage this week, he seemed more than happy to confirm his split from TLC, noting that “transparency” isn’t the network’s “strong point.”
“I’ve been a f**king gangster over there since the beginning, played the game, didn’t post sh*t, [hid] a lot of crap,” Andrei said of his (now former) employer. “I [hid] all my f**king life just to show entertainment because this was my baby … so all of this stuff, like, for me, it was a game that I f**king did for all these years.”
In addition to his salary complaints and the alleged “transparency” issues that came with being on the show, Andrei heavily criticized many of the individuals who have been cast in the “90 Day Fiancé” franchise in recent years.
“I think they went over quantity above quality, you know?” he stated. “They f**king skipped on quality … .”
The father of two also lambasted the “exhausted” storylines within the franchise, as well as the multitude of spinoffs that continue to be made– something he also insisted was a quantity vs. quality issue.
In an effort to seemingly prove that he’s truly done with TLC, Andrei claimed during the interview that TLC reached out to him two weeks before the latest spinoff, “90 Day: Florida” began filming. Despite Andrei and Elizabeth being longtime residence of Tampa, Florida, Andrei said he declined to participate, at which point Jasmine Pineda and Matt Branistareanu were allegedly added to the cast.
As for what he has in store post-“90 Day Fiancé,” Andrei claims that he’s working on “an international project” that he’s aiming to release (possibly on a social media platform) at the end of next year. The project would film next summer and include 60 social media influencers who would partake in “a whole streaming game.”
