90 Day Fiancé: Ben Rathbun Reveals How He Really Developed A ‘Wonky’ Eye

90 Day Fiancé cast member Ben Rathbun shared how he ended up getting a droopy eye and whether or not he wants to fix it with plastic surgery. 52-year-old Ben and his forbidden romance with 24-year-old Mahogany Roca has stirred up a fair bit of controversy for the former pastor. Ben leaving his four kids behind to chase a girl old enough to be his daughter has been called out by fans all season. Moreover, neither Ben nor fans were sure whether Mahogany was even real until she showed up on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days episode 10. And now that the mystery about Mahogany has finally been solved, the next big question is what's going on with Ben's eye.

Mahogany became a thing of curiosity to 90 Day Fiancé viewers as soon as Ben spoke of their relationship on the show. Ben showed heavily filtered photos that belonged to the Peruvian native Mahogany while admitting that she was too shy to do video calls. Mahogany insisted that Ben shouldn’t visit her as soon as he reached the airport, and fans saw that as a major red flag. As was Mahogany completely ghosting Ben when he reached her hometown. Upon seeing Ben for the first time, Mahogany, a catfish herself, claimed that he didn’t look as big and muscular in person as he did in his shirtless modeling photographs. Fans suspected Ben’s wonky eye may also have been photoshopped in the professionally edited shots.

Fraser resident Ben decided to end the rumors about his eye once and for all after admitting that photographers do hide his wonky eye. Ben also seems to sometimes be trying to hide it in shadow, but he also seems to not mind it at all. Still, fans have questions and recently Ben revealed that about ten years ago, he started noticing a difference in the way he blinked with the eye. “One eyelid blinked slower than the other, and I started noticing a size difference as well,” he wrote in an Instagram caption. While admitting that his story isn’t as dramatic as fans may have expected it to be, he also mentioned that it’s not wonky due to “seizures, coma, stroke, or eye disease.”

Ben thinks he should get it checked by a professional. “Maybe one day, but I like my wonky eye. So no plastic surgery,” he clarified. However, the director at Michigan Lupus Foundation revealed that the real reason he made the post was to thank his fans for giving him “hope in humanity again” by posting positive comments on his Instagram. “It’s been a rough couple months not gonna lie,” shared Ben, so the kindness that fans showed him certainly helped. “We CAN make this into a beautiful world and you all proved it,” wrote Ben as he asked his supporters to “keep spreading that positivity” and pour it on anyone who they think is deserving enough.

Ben has been receiving criticism for his relationship with Mahogany on 90 Day Fiancé. However, a fan recently saw Ben at a Lima mall walking hand in hand with Mahogany. Ben being smaller than she expected or having an ophthalmic issue may not have mattered to Mahogany in the end. But Ben speaking of going through a hard time in life suggests he and Mahogany may have bigger problems to deal with than find differences in each other’s online and offline personas.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms, Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
