Big Ed Told Rose Her Breath Stunk

He Was Demeaning Towards Rose

Big Ed’s relationship with Rose on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 4 was conflicting. It gave 90 Day Fiancé fans a first look at the alarming behavior that Big Ed was capable of. At first, Big Ed was mesmerized by Rose. He was excited about meeting her after they had chatted on the internet. Big Ed visited Rose’s home and was not comfortable staying there. He called it “the weirdest experience of his life.” Things took a swift turn when Rose sat Big Ed down to have an incredibly awkward conversation about the way her breath smelled.

He started the conversation by telling Rose he had gotten her some “surprises.” He gifted her a few pieces of lingerie and a swimsuit. Big Ed also gave Rose mouthwash, a toothbrush, and toothpaste because he thought her breath was “not pretty.” Rose looked at Big Ed with disgust and went on to explain that she was suffering from an ulcer which had led to her bad breath. Big Ed insisted that he was concerned about Rose’s health and that’s why he gifted her the hygiene products.

One of the first things I noticed even at the airport, you know, was her breath, but I didn’t know how to bring it up, and I don’t think she realizes it, but I do.

It’s still one of the most cringe moments from 90 Day Fiancé. Rose was visibly upset by the “gifts” that he had given her. Rose admitted she was “insulted” and “embarrassed” by Big Ed at the moment. “I think Ed is a rude person,” she added. This was not the end of Big Ed and Rose’s tough conversations on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 4.

Big Ed Asked Rose To Shave

He Wanted Her To Be More “Feminine”

During 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 4, Big Ed continued to belittle Rose by questioning her hygiene. After Big Ed and Rose slept together, he sat her down once again to have another awkward conversation. This time, Big Ed was upset with Rose about her leg hair. He explained that he noticed Rose’s legs were hairy, and told her that he would shave his beard if she shaved her legs.

In a confessional, Big Ed said he “didn’t like leg hair” because it was “less feminine for a woman”. He put Rose on the spot at that moment. After telling Rose to shave, he bragged to production about how “awesome” their time together was the night before. Rose immediately went to the bathroom and shaved her legs for Big Ed. As if Big Ed telling Rose that her breath was “not pretty” wasn’t bad enough, he added insult to injury.

Big Ed was trying to teach Liz about photography, and they were practicing taking photos with one of Liz’s friends. As they took photos, Big Ed became more flirtatious with the model. Liz said:

I think it’s possible that Ed does like photography because he does get to flirt with women.

During the shoot, Big Ed said the poses the model was doing were “cute,” and encouraged her to “play with the camera.” Liz got increasingly jealous of Big Ed’s flirting, and she began critiquing his photography skills. “It looks like she has no neck,” said Liz, which upset Big Ed – he thought the picture looked great.

So the party’s kind of wrapping up, and I see a friend of Liz grab her by the arm. I know her, she’s a lesbian, and this looks like an emotional fight.

He was intent that Liz was “hiding something” and felt their interaction was the way “a girlfriend would react to a girlfriend.” Liz ran away from the engagement party, and the cameras followed her as she walked around the city barefoot. Big Ed said he couldn’t trust Liz and blatantly asked her, “Are you a lesbian?” during their fight.
