Manon, the vibrant French influencer from 90 Day Fiancé, has decided to give up her Los Angeles dream for love. In a touching moment, she cried in front of friends. She shared that she is selling her home. She plans to move back to France with her husband, Anthony, and their baby son, Benjamin.
“I came to the point where I’m at the end of my rope,” Manon said through tears. “I’m overwhelmed and overworked. I don’t see my husband. I don’t see my son. We’re losing each other in the process.”
The 32-year-old, known for her bold confidence and curvy figure, has lived in L.A. for more than a decade. “I’m selling my house and going back to France full time,” she told her shocked friends. “I don’t know if I should laugh or cry.”
90 Day Fiancé: “France Never Accepted Me”
Manon’s return home is bittersweet. Her friends fear France may not welcome her the way Los Angeles did. “You’re the most American person I know,” one friend said. Another added, “Society hasn’t changed that much there. I’m really nervous they’re not going to be ready for Manon back in France.”
The influencer admitted she’s scared too. “I’ve been bullied my whole life. When I was in school, they called me whale, fat, disgusting,” she said. “Even my family made comments like, ‘Did you gain some weight?’ or ‘You lost a little bit.’ You can’t even get a hello without judgment.”
She became emotional remembering a moment with her grandfather. “He looked at me and said, ‘How can a girl like you marry a man like that?’ It broke my heart.”
90 Day Fiancé: From France to Fame
Manon’s story started in Marseille. Twelve years ago, she created a social media page about being plus-sized and living in France. Her confidence and bold style attracted a global following. “One day I got a call from a plus-size denim brand,” she recalled. “They invited me to L.A. for a photo shoot. I went, and I never came back.”
Her life transformed in California. “Here, I met women like me,” she said proudly. “They were confident, free, and beautiful. In L.A., I felt like I belonged.”
Today, she runs her own social media and marketing agency. She calls herself a “walk, walk, walk” kind of woman. But behind the success, she admits motherhood, work, and distance from family have taken their toll.
90 Day Fiancé: Fans React: Love, Doubt, and Harsh Opinions
Fans flooded the comments with mixed emotions after watching Manon’s tearful revelation. Many celebrated her courage, while others questioned her story.
One fan wrote, “I’m so happy for her, she found her community.” Others were skeptical, saying, “Her story is not real or possible. Please stop.”
Some comments turned critical. “If you want to live long enough to see grandkids, start dealing with the excessive weight,” one viewer said. Another wrote, “Fat is not curves. That’s insulting to actual curvy women.”
