90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? cast members Emily and Kobe made an appearance on Hollywood's 90 Day Fiancé: Behind the Drama on December 31, 2024. They dissected episode 5 of 90 Day: The Last Resort and their conversation centered around Natalie's apology to Sophie. Emily and Kobe claimed that Natalie's apology seemed insincere to them.
The controversy surrounding Natalie stemmed from her accusations against her partner Josh Weinstein and Sophie. Natalie alleged that the two were having an affair, which they both denied. The situation escalated when Natalie took to Instagram on December 23, 2024, to claim that the cast, including Josh, was bullying her and spreading false rumors.
According to Emily, Natalie's apology was a calculated move that helped her avoid being at odds with everyone else. Emily added that she felt Natalie was someone who reacted impulsively and lashed out at others. Meanwhile, Kobe shared a similar sentiment, stating that Natalie allows her emotions to dictate her actions.
The 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? cast member said that it seemed like Natalie didn't want to have "many enemies on her side."
"So she's like, let me just spit out this fake apology and see if anyone latches to it. And so that way, you know, it's not all of them against me," Emily expressed.

During the episode, Sophie also expressed her skepticism about Natalie's apology, citing the hurtful comments the latter had made about her. Sophie questioned Natalie's authenticity, believing that she didn't genuinely care about Sophie's feelings. Natalie's relationship with Josh has been tumultuous, as the couple had been in an on-again-off-again relationship for nearly three years.
Despite relocating to California for Josh, Natalie was never considered his official girlfriend. The allegations of infidelity and bullying created a rift among the cast members, with Natalie feeling targeted and scapegoated.
After watching the episode, Emily and Kobe shared their thoughts on the controversies and the allegations made by Natalie against Sophie and Josh. When asked which side they were on, Emily declared that she was "Team Sophie," citing Natalie's apology and her previous hurtful comments towards Sophie. She said that the apology felt insincere and calculated.
Emily felt that Sophie had every right to be upset, given Natalie's past behavior. However, Sophie also did reveal text messages that Josh had sent her and seemed to suggest that he was interested in her, Emily wasn't surprised by Sophie's decision to share the messages, stating that it was essential to "show the receipts."
Kobe offered insight into Sophie's motivations, suggesting that she had been protective of her partner Rob's interests during the tell-all. However, in this instance, Sophie seemed more willing to speak her mind and share evidence.
"I wasn't honestly too shocked because, like, show the receipts, right? At our tell all, Sophie didn't show any receipts for any… I guess I was a little shocked then, because at our tell all, she didn't show anything," stated Emily.
The 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star elaborated that she could see Sophie's confidence in showing receipts about Josh's texts. Emily recalled their Tell-All segment where she said that Sophie "kept talking, talking, talking, showed nothing." She noted that during the episode, she "actually showed" the receipts, which Emily said made her happy.
When asked about Josh's intentions, Emily expressed skepticism about his claims that the text messages were innocent. She believed that Josh was attracted to Sophie and had been trying to make a move.
Emily pointed out that Josh's comment about not being in a committed relationship was particularly telling, implying that he was trying to downplay his interest in Sophie.
