Big Ed Gifted Rose Toothpaste & A Toothbrush

Some of the most vile comments that Big Ed has made on 90 Day Fiancé have been towards Rose. Big Ed may try to act like a saint after claiming that he got therapy, but he will never be able to make viewers forget what he said to Rose in Before the 90 Days season 4. Big Ed had taken Rose away on a vacation to the island of Palawan for some alone time because she wanted to know if her feelings towards him were “real.” Rose decided to go with Big Ed because she wanted to build a stronger relationship with him.

Big Ed wanted to propose to Rose and wanted to not have any doubts about her before making the biggest decision of his life. The cameras showed Big Ed and Rose in their Palawan hotel room as he unpacked his luggage to show Rose the “surprises” he’d brought for her. He had a bikini for her and a teddy that he wanted her to wear for him. He asked Rose to try it out, but she refused, saying she was nervous. The “less romantic” things came next, which were toothpaste, mouthwash, and a toothbrush. He said, “Cause your breath is not pretty.”

He claimed one of the first things he noticed about her at the airport was her bad breath. Rose seemed upset upon receiving the “gifts” and he tried telling her that she could get sick if she got a “disease” in her mouth. Rose told Big Ed that her bad breath was due to her having an ulcer and not because she never brushed her teeth. The 90 Day Fiancé villain said he cared about Rose, but the young woman was embarrassed and declared that Big Ed was a rude person who would have accepted her for who she was if he truly loved her.
