Justin’s Side Of The Breakup Story Was Missing On 90 Day Fiancé
Did Nikki & Justin Stop Communication After He Sent Her The Text?
90 Day Fiancé season 10, episode 18 showed Nikki crying as it was revealed that she had arrived to do an interview two weeks after she arrived from Moldova. While there, Nikki received a text from Justin. The producers tried to calm Nikki down as she said, “I don’t understand,” referring to Justin “discarding” her after she wasted her time and heart on him. Nikki agreed to film the interview where she got into the details of the split. Nikki wanted to “tell her side of the story.”
Nikki said she got into a bad fight with Justin a week ago, and they had barely spoken. Nikki thought they would get over it since they’d had such fights before. Nikki said the reason why they fought was because Justin didn’t have a job, and she had been supporting him the whole time. Nikki had sent Justin money after his car broke down. Nikki sent him “a lot of Western Union because he needed help.” Nikki accused Justin of using her for money while she gave him $3000. She believed Justin “had it” with her because she decided to taunt him over it.
Justin sent her a message saying he wanted to “
discuss something very important
” with her which he wanted her to
“take seriously
.”
Justin said that given the circumstances, he had come to the “sad conclusion” that their relationship couldn’t continue. Justin said he had compromised his own interests and shocked his parents and everyone around him, including his “status and dignity.” He added that “continuing in this manner” was not possible for him. He realized he had to take control of his life and “rectify the situation.” The message on the screen showed Justin saying, “May you fund a path to a worthy life filled with love and mutual attachment,” before he added, “Farewell and I wish you all the best.”
Nikki said that after all the years, money, heart, soul, and time, she’d invested in him, Justin telling her this had left her “broken.” She never expected this to happen since she was planning to have a future with him. Nikki said she expected a FaceTime or for Justin to call her to Moldova to discuss the situation. Justin made Nikki “feel the worst feeling ever” by sending her the message. Interestingly, it was only Nikki who featured in the episode.
There was no sign of Justin, so he couldn’t reveal why he decided to send her the message and what had made him feel so angry that he resorted to breaking up with Nikki instead of making her apologize or defend himself in the situation. Justin’s side of the story could be shown during the Tell All, but it also means that between the time he broke up with her and the Tell All was filmed, Justin and Nikki may have gotten back together according to what their social media profiles are revealing.

90 Day Fiancé’s Nikki Is A Reality TV Veteran
Nikki Doesn’t Want To Leave The Franchise So Soon
Nikki’s dramatic breakup with Justin might have earned her a spot on 90 Day: The Single Life. However, her being together with Justin will ensure that Nikki gets to star in the next season of 90 Day Fiancé because in season 10, she was still waiting for Justin’s K-1 visa to be approved. Justin’s journey to the U.S. and eventually to the aisle with Nikki makes for the perfect 90 Day Fiancé content which Nikki is aware of. Nikki may have convinced Justin to try and make things work just so they could stay in the franchise for longer and keep themselves relevant.
It would also mean the revival of their real-life Barbie and Ken Instagram page, so Nikki and Justin could earn more using their reality TV fame. 90 Day Fiancé was not Nikki’s first reality TV stint. Nikki appeared on the E! show Botched and was supposed to star in the first episode, but her part was cut from the final cut. Additionally, Nikki has starred in shows like Judge Jeanine Pirro, Jerseylicious, and more, while also trying to pitch her own show called “Jersey Girls” which, unfortunately, never took off. Nikki likes being on TV and another spin-off or two will only work wonders for her career.
