UPDATE: On Dec. 11th, it was confirmed that Ryan had returned to the United States on his own. He was subsequently charged with obstructing an officer and arrested. The Sheriff’s Dept is also pursuing restitution for the expenses of the search. He pleaded not guilty and told the judge, “I can't pay; I don't have money. So I'll defend myself…I have $20 in my wallet in the other room. So that's what I have." Still, Ryan made bond and is no longer incarcerated; meaning that he is free to go until Jan 13th., his next court date. On Dec.12th, Emily Borgwardt filed a petition seeking a legal separation from Ryan Borgwardt citing that their marriage is “irretrievably broken.” She is pursuing full custody of their three high school aged children. On the documents, Ryan had no listed attorney, was ‘self-employed,’ and was living at an ‘unknown address.’
this happened in my hometown of Green Lake. this guy is such a selfish, disgusting person. he wasted so much time and resources searching for him in our lake, and what he did to his family is completely unforgivable and cruel. thank you for covering the story
Ok, and? Those are your kids, too. You can't just decide to abandon everything because you have to pay alimony for the choice you made, you weirdo. @@tripninick8597
Nothing says “I hate my life” more than faking your death to avoid your kids and wife instead of just telling the wife you want a divorce or going to marriage counseling
@@heyyy-81 we know that. That's just some of the ridiculous things people have said 😒 She didn't do anything wrong,this douche canoe did.. I have so much sympathy for his family. I can't even imagine..
The fact that the amount of time and effort this man put into faking his own death could've been spent IN THERAPY just shows some people would rather do everything but look at themselves
Exactly, he's not trying to run away from his family because they're "annoying", he's trying to run away from himself...which is why he still looks miserable
@@rashi4553even “their annoying” would be a good time for therapy. Helllooooo couples counceling Or idk divorce papers if you really do not want to try and make it work

I went camping there two years running at Green lake campground with a very very large group of people. I had a wonderful time. it's a beautiful area. My kids loved it too! 12 and 3 at that time. We even got a chance to go tubing on the lake. Such a strange story to come out of such a Serene area. I live in Waukesha. Seems like every other crazy story that comes out lately is out of Wisconsin. I imagine the family is well supported. If there is a God, I hope he stands with the rest of us here a little stronger than in most other states.
@@Ch.erry_blossom thank you ♡ it’s normally a pretty quiet small town and this really shook up the community. i just hope justice ends up being served at his next court date and that he pays full restitution
@@JamieDoe472 oh i’m glad you & your family had such a nice time here! hope you visit again sometime :) Waukesha is lovely too, one of my best friends lives there! i know, it’s wild, i wish more _good_ newsworthy things came out of our state but oh well. yes, from what i’ve heard the family is well supported but i just feel so awful for them, i can’t imagine the trauma and pain. i hope justice ends up being served
as a Colombian girl is so so triggering this topic for me , because I live in LA, and you cant imagine how many times I have hear guys trying to play me just because im a curvy woman with a exotic accent . Men dont appreciate woman who come from our culture who is not an easy one, who comes from good families and good background . but lets be honest they dont respect in general
These men do not deserve you. This is why so many american women are putting up a paywall (cash app tag on car, etc) rather than ever offer a man a phone number etc
i would like to see these people's reaction if a woman leaves her family because they are ''annoying''. i bet MANY people will be shaming not only the woman but all ''modern women'' as they say.
@@bateman667 Let's be fr. A lot of the time... People don't wanna acknowledge that some *men* are evil. But they're perfectly happy to demonise women.
The short guy getting mad at women not wanting to date him for his height while being INDIGNANT at the thought of dating someone fat is hilariously tone deaf
@@islifeacomedy3861Not necessarily. For both actually. I might be confusing it with a different type of medical procedure but there IS a way to alter your height by a few inches. And different people have different opinions on what "fat" is to them which also depends on an individual's proportions imo
@@islifeacomedy3861 ignoring that what counts as fat is subjective… based on that logic he should humble himself even more. She can find someone who likes fat women OR lose weight even while dating him. He’s stuck being short and can ONLY date people who don’t care about height. AND weight changes over time. So imagine he GAINS weight while ALSO being short… Or HE gains weight and she loses it as they date. Who’s more desirable? Mind you this is based on Op’s thought process, not mine. So again he shouldn’t sneer at the thought of dating people who are technically better off than him based on his own views of desirability.
I havent watched the video yet, but you do realise that someone being fat says a lot about the person. Being short is something you're born with. You can work yourself and your body to stay healthy, and if you're actively throwing your quality of life out the window because its too much work? Well, thats on you. And lets not even bring up the 0.1% of fat people that are fat because of actual genetical problems.
A lot of passport bros here in Japan. They stupidly think that Japanese women are docile and submissive and quickly married them, just to realize in no time that this is not the case. They either end up going through nasty divorces and custody battles or living miserable lives totally isolated in a foreign country (as typically they do not bother learning the language).
Japanese women are docile and submissive 12 out of 12 of the ones I've been with. On a scale of 1-10 10 being the most docile and submissive, 10 for each of them. The ones there, and the ones here in the U S. I divorced one of em for being too submissive, liking only what I like, having no sauce. I am not bragging, I'm just here to say that I do not know what you're on about. It's not like I'm the exception to the rule. Maybe there's a reason why like you said, dudes are going there expecting to find the submissive and docile.
Not to mention they're basically just squeezed for cash. They always assume "asian women are trad women" not knowing a lot of them are similar to western women
I like how every time she quotes a passport bro she looks HORRIFIED 😭. I always love how Stephanie’s is very expressive when retelling this case in grave detail
What a lot of Western guys don’t get is that women in the East are often way more feminist than they think. Here’s the deal…many Eastern countries have tough economic conditions, so women are out here hustling hard, working, contributing to their families, and doing whatever it takes to improve their situation. That whole “submissive” vibe some western people assume eastern women have….Yeah, that’s more like a survival tactic or just a strategy to get out of their situations . Honestly, if you think about it, that’s super feminist in itself. These women are driven, resourceful, and embody the OG feminism…fighting for better lives in their own way. I’ve never seen women more motivated than Eastern women.
this is true as someone who lives in ASEA, most families are matriarchal and both parents are expected to put in effort. there is no such thing as gender privilege in terms of employment and work status but more on hierarchy and experience.
As a Southeast Asian woman, I have a bad news for the passport bros. Most of us aren't the kind of naive women you're looking for. We're "as bad as" the American women OR even worse. 😂😂😂
Maybe the older generations were naive but the younger ones are built different and the very very younger generations are bit psycho now a days and very entitled without even a title in their name 😅 these passport bros will be surprise 😅
true lmao, theres a reddit forum i once I watched from Papa Meat video saying that they regret marrying ASEAN woman since she kept ordering him around and was expected to help in the house 😂
I think he just wanted an excuse to run away from all the problems in his life & thought this way would be easier than actually having to face his "loved" ones & own up to responsibility
@@badbutgood-d4q It's crazy how impulsive he is! That's something I'd expect from a teen or young adult, not a mid-age man with a wife and kids! Just sad sad sad!
I lived in SE Asia for ten years and saw a lot of passport bros. Disgusting. They just want a woman that they can manipulate, and they use money to do it. I met my partner over there, and we are still going strong 9 years later and with a beautiful son. I didn't travel to find love. I travelled to experience a new culture and just happened to find love. Love shouldn't be a transaction.
All relationships are a form of transaction. You need to expand your definition of transaction. If you are doing all for someone and getting nothing in return, you're being abused. Even children give you passing on your genes, even if they don't love you back and bring you joy, which they almost always do.
That is how luv should be. I been single 11yrs now since my sons birth n bein a single father n I'm gonna remain single as i don't want any1 to take my precious time away from my son. But he's grown up now n now 11yrs old n so if i do happen to meet some1 special n 1 thing leads to another, then maybe I'll move on. But i highly doubt it. Most prob stay single either way.
My dad is a passport bro and I’m a product of this. I hate him, I hate him with my whole heart. He’s a good for nothing old man who only thinks with his dick and asian fetish. It is absolutely disgusting what I see from these gross passport bros. White men in Thailand just ogling me and my bsf when we’re just trying to exist.
@VioletProVixen Fetuses in the womb provide their mothers with their genes and give the mothers various health benefits. And that is with a growing infant in uterus. Do yes, all relationships are transactional to some degree.
It can never be a man's fault for something he did. Everything has to be justified by something worse the women in his life did, like not teaching him better or nagging. Because somehow nagging is worse than faking your own death or murdering your whole family smh.
There will always be weirdos who blame victims, like in this case and the Chris Watts case. However men are often vilified and blamed for stuff that isn't their fault (like being SA'd by a woman or physically attacked by their girlfriends).
@@RachelRichards you mean like women are? "What were you wearing? Why were you there? What did you do to provoke him?" All things that are said to women.
Yep. That’s what I’m seeing from men in the comments, too. And a few sad women. “Women do it too…” Men have abused and oppressed women since the beginning of time. Confused individuals.
@@RachelRichardsWhile this is true, and I agree, it's important to have discussions about men hurting women without having to remind women that men can also be victims. We absolutely know. Anyone pretending otherwise is ridiculous and vile. And its equally important to have discussions about men being hurt by women without women talking about how bad men are. These conversations don't have to be had all at the same time, always. It can minimize the impact the conversation has if we get bogged down with, "but of course not all ______" to avoid hurting people's feelings. This case is about a bad man. I'd use a stronger word than weirdo; let's call them what they are; apologists. They blame victims because it justifies their own actions or lack of understanding.
Knew someone who married a woman from the Philippines… they were married like 15 years, he cheated the whole time and left her for a black woman, and the black woman ended up leaving him after 2 yrs 😅. After talking to him for Less than 2 weeks, I ghosted him 😂. He legit blamed his ex wife for divorcing him and leaving him with the kids… annnd was bragging that he was gonna surprise her with child support being swiped from her check. I need every single passport bro to remain a passport bro. Leave us out of it. We DO NOT want y’all’s drama sirs…. Signed, a Haitian born in America.
Wow. My husband passed away 4 years ago. I’m busy being mom to my 7 year old and have zero interest in dating. When people ask me if I’m worried I will be lonely I’ll just send them a link to this video. 😂
@@saraha5847child free single women statistically live longer and happier lives. At this point, who cares what others think!! If you don't believe me, do the research!
Everyday I’m reminded how selfish some men can be. They will always do what’s best for them. He was tired of his life. Never mind that he has kids and a wife. He did what was best for him and him alone
However he did take out life insurance and faked his death with the intent that his wife and children receive a large payout. He was trying to look after them financially. One of those "it seemed like a good idea at the time"
People saying “how annoying do you think his family was for him todo something like this” Bro he literally raised those kids. Those kids literally has his own traits n beliefs. Even if he wasn’t happy with his wife. He betrayed his OWN kids by faking his death. Imagine your own dad faking his death, then finding out he’s alive but doesn’t want to come back. Wtf
@@indigoeyes100true. they’d rather die than admit that the guy was the problem. its like speaking badly about another dude bruises their ego as well. such a peculiar phenomenon
Id argue most families weren't planned, lets be honest. One day a baby just happens, and people decide to raise a family or go the alternative routes...
@@DysphoriaRLLol babies don't just happen. You have sex and don't use protection for one reason or another, or the birth control fails. But most families are planned. And it ultimately doesn't matter, because planned or unplanned these are discussions you have with your partner, you don't just help someone make a baby and then pretend to be dead. He married her, that's pretty serious.
I had an uncle who did things like this. He would disappear very dramatically and then pop up a few months later in Nebraska or someplace. It terrified the family at first (especially his mother), but it happened often enough that we got used to it. This behavior wrecked his first marriage and his relationship with his daughters, of course.
That's so odd. I've known men who do that who have serious issues. I also heard of some others who do it who had brain injuries. It's really odd and yes it can wreck relationships because often they aren't just going and being by themselves but I'm sure it's true for some of them. Some of them are going off and starting a new life and cheating lol. They call that ghosting now which is a great way to label not taking accountability and not being a grown up and having honor and integrity
@@materhead5051lol... Just because somebody does that it doesn't mean that they have a mental illness or schizophrenia. Some people just don't like to face responsibility and have some issues
I know someone who left his wife to go find his true love on the Internet..He met her, he dropped his wife moved so fast,he later found out that she had three others, the one with the best offer. The CEO in Australia won. Another one left his wife married the love of his life, only he is her convenience, she has affairs he is the only one who does not know. He does everything for her. He thinks that she is doing overtime while she is with her young lover.She will not leave him because he supports her family in Poland.

Hey Milk. Life is longer than it seems. With ups and downs. Your best years could be ahead of you. Find peace this christmas season. And happy early new year. 🎉
Thanks so much for all your hard work, you brighten my day when things get hard as I am struggling with my mental health and kidney failure. When I feel hopeless and I see I have a new vid to watch it makes things so much better ❤
I live about ten minutes from where Ryan Borgwardt is from, the whole community is disgusted with him, he should be forced to pay for the waste of resources and time. It's a truly sad story, the whole state watched it unfold step by step.
Please cover the case of Narin from Turkey a little girl was killed by her brother, mum and uncle all because she was gonna tell her dad about her mum and uncles affair
Faking your own death is one of the scummiest thing you can possibly do to others. Especially when you stage it where the "body" was unable to be found. The passport bro? Unhinged. No wonder local women doesn't want them 😂
If you’re adult enough to choose to get married and have children, you better be adult enough to sit down and tell your spouse you want a divorce if you are over it. I say this as a woman who earns equally as much as my husband and wouldn’t gain anything in a divorce. I’m married strictly because I want to be. No financial motive to stay or leave. Divorce wouldn’t be the end of the world, but it’s not my goal. My husband knows he’s free to leave, but he has to pay for the divorce unless it’s a mutual decision. If I choose to leave, I pay. It doesn’t have to be complicated and there’s no reason to fake a death.
I have ADHD and listening/watching long form videos would sometimes zone me out. But all of Stephanie's videos, not just here in Rotten Mango, but in all of her channels, is so engaging that I'm 100% tuned in from the first few seconds of the video until the very end. That is a great talent to have and we're all blessed we're able to hear her storytelling for free
marriage is scary bcs what if one day he just falls out of love with me and then fakes his death to be with a random, younger, prettier woman in a foreign country leaving me and our kids behind
You need to understand the fact that you are not special to these men,even if he married you,at some point he can and will switch up on you. So even if you are married don't forget to live your own life.
Even without marriage, that can happen. It's why the best solution is twofold; raise our kids to be kind, and never let yourself be totally dependent on another person without any support. My sister is a SATHM, but even she has family support, and has extra money on her own. Not that my BIL would ever hurt her or the kids, but it's just smart to be stable on your own as well as in a marriage.
As an Uzbek I was so confused when he asked that question when I saw it on TikTok 😂😂 and seeing this has so much more story behind it and on Stephanie’s channel 😂😂
I absolutely love Stephanie and her husband. Stephanie has a gift for retelling a story and I love that her husband is teaching the little kids about planning for the future 😊
I know a passport bro and I blocked him on Facebook because all he does is post about how awful us American women are and how the poor men have no choice but to seek a woman from the Philippines. It got really really old really really fast lol
He's not a passport bro. A real passport bro is just looking for a better quality of life in another country. American dollars can go really far in other countries.
They are exactly the type of people that fail to pass a test and then blame the teacher for making it too hard. If women do not value you, maybe consider being more valuable.
@@VioletProVixenWomen do value passport bros. Just not the overweight nightmares like yourself. You want simps you can walk over. Don’t worry, simps will always be here to fund your only fans.
im an avid follower of stephanie's videos and a citizen of a so called "third world" country where passport bros consider a haven to get "soft, traditional" girlfriends. And this video add another layer of frustration for me at how some LBH diminish women abroad. Im telling you, from my personal experience, no woman from anywhere in the world is oblivious to the way the patriarchial system beats them down and they can tell a a below average man with racial prejudice from a mile away. I know that people fell in love sincerely with each other regardless of backgrounds all the time but knowing that there are people who come to our country with the idea that its people are lesser irritates me so much.
Yeah, I think that's the reason why they're so icky, is not that they pay for sex or that they're not particularly successful. I mean most people are average after all. It's that they think that they're so much better than they really are, and that you're so much less than you really are. It's the arrogance of it that's really disgusting and off putting.
Oh. My. God. That’s terrifying! What?!? Sounds like a VERY interesting story. I’m so sorry, sister. I hope you’re in a much better and safer place now. 💙
Honestly, I just think he ran out of money and discovered it wasn't sparkles and roses. I sincerely believe he thought he'd come home and his "good Christian woman" wife would take him back. I'm so proud of her for divorcing him and opting out.

But this makes me love them even more!❤🥰)

yeah dogs are amazing at detecting things! they can sniff out drugs, early signs of cancerous tumours, and obviously missing people. truly second best to none
Imagine being so much of a coward to face ending your marriage, faking your death, get found out, and now forced to face the authorities for your cowardice 😑 They could have divorced privately. This could have been one of the many, many lives of people who ended their marriage, lived to tell the tale and even find love again.
That is so heartbreaking for the wife and children, first he fakes his death abandoning his children making them believe they lost their father 😢 Then it turns out he's alive and he has chosen to abandon his family knowingly and is refusing to return because he knows he's in trouble. How can he hold his hand high and call himself a man. I have zero sympathy for this man but my heart aches for these babies.
I was also thinking this! The amount of emotions you go through when you lose a parent (I have personal experience) and/or a spouse.. it’s one of the worst feelings ever. Then to find out they aren’t dead but they don’t want to come back.. is just another level of trauma and pain!!
@shaunanixon4838 I understand this very well, my father passed on Christmas Eve 2008 😢 I've lost 26 people in my life, the father is especially hard. Mom and him were not together anymore and he did abandon me when I was a child. This kind of pain lasts for long periods of time and it's taken almost 30 years for me to move on. The man from this case abandoned these children twice and in such despicable ways 😭 I feel so sorry for them.
@ I lost my dad 4 years ago.. it’s really hard over the holidays.. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and spread all the love you can! Stay safe and warm! I can’t wrap my brain around it.. the fact that he would just leave his family and make them go through that horrible situation and feelings.. I feel so bad for the family and I hope they are doing better..
@shaunanixon4838 I am sorry for your loss, I hope you stay safe and have a good Christmas. This is not a real man 🤷🏻♀️ this is an unfeeling monster who doesn't deserve the title of father. He never cared for them, he was selfish and foolish and hurt the people he should have loved the most.
As a Dominican woman, I couldn’t have say it better than you! And that’s what makes so hard for us who are living out of the DR to visit our country, because everybody is expecting for you to give them money 😢
Your videos have helped me more than I could ever express I spent almost all of my free time and driving time listening to your videos and podcasts and I could not thank you enough for all the hard work you provide to keep me and your millions of fans happy, thank you for saving me and so many other people we love you Steph (and mr mango butt of course)

I'm so glad I'm not as miserable as all the people defending this dude saying his wife and kids must have been annoying and the patriarchy and whatever tf else. The victim complex goes crazy.
Not only is it selfish to the family but to FAKE a death and to thus cost the whole community so much time and money... That man has some nerve. He'd have to have had some VERY good reason to up and leave like that, but there's honestly none that I'm reading or hearing. Even the life insurance policy idea doesn't seem like a convincing reason.
absolutely mind blowing that so many people IMMEDIATELY blamed the wife for her husband faking his death, abandoning his family, and fleeing the country!
My grandma always said, "If you have to say it, it's not obvious." If you have to *tell* imaginary women to be disappointed about "losing" you, that means that theres no obvious reason to be disappointed. 👀

MANGO TEAM! Please read this one! There is a case in Puerto Rico that shook the entire island, and it still haunts a lot of us. The case of "El niño Lorenzo," an 8-year-old kid who was ended night in a very gruesome and mysterious way in his own home under the care of his mother, Ana Cacho. The interesting thing is that the mother "allegedly" had a party in the house at the time of the crime, and there were illegal dr***gs involved. Who was at the party? High-profile men, including politicians. Who was in the room of the kid? His two underage sisters, whom they would even try to blame this crime on at one point. Who was in the neighborhood? "El Manco," a disabled person with mental health issues. They would also literally try to blame... a disabled person just for being in the neighborhood. Everyone knew the mother either did it or had something to do with it. But every piece of evidence against her was conveniently missed or not brought up. P.S. She was spotted partying on a boat a few days after her son's death. The family hired a private investigator, and when he started revealing the truth, he was fired and sued. He was supposed to come out with a book talking about the case, and it never saw the light of day. The initial 911 calls do not match what was found at the scene and the trauma found in the body when the kid arrived at the hospital. When the police realized they needed to investigate as a crime because this was no accident, they discovered that the crime scene was "cleaned," meaning that whoever did it tried to cover up the truth. The details of what they discovered I can't even write here because of how brutal they are. The evidence found at the scene was constantly dismissed as "contaminated" and not brought up because it created "doubt." I was a forensic science student at the time, and this case was studied in multiple classes from different perspectives: law, forensic evidence, crime studies, medicine, etc. EVERY professor said that based on the evidence, everyone knew who the real perpetrators of Lorenzo's murder were, but no one could say it out loud based on "proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt" and other legal issues. This case has so much more interesting points, including evidence, theories, and conspiracies, worth exploring. Even the final verdict is just... not it. However, I will leave that for you and your team to analyze and come up with your own conclusions. I will say though, no one in the island feels like justice was served for this poor soul. Puerto Ricans were left with the brutal realization of how influence and power can, in fact, allow some people to be above the law. People often say that money talks, but for me, this case screams "money silences." The world should know about this case, and I would love to hear your input on it! Side note, I love your work! ❤️
For the record, Zeus, the Newfoundland is used for water rescue, but he’s not a sniffer dog… He’s the guy that jumps in to actually save the drowning victim. Newfoundland’s are not used for their noses, they are used because they are such powerful swimmers with coats that allow them to swim in the frigid water. You can watch videos of the puppies being dropped from helicopters during their rescue training…. It looks mean, but they have to get used to it because it’s going to be a part of their future. Usually, after the first toss, they jump the minute the door is open because they love it so much, but that first one can be terrifying to watch. 😊
i never understood the submissive asian woman trope. the asian women I know are independent and don't put up with bs from anybody, let alone men. is this like a tv media thing?
@@hasanabdi7317You can find agreeable and disagreeable people across cultures and ethnicities though. It's really just stereotypes. And ultimately, all couples fight and all relationships take some work. Lots of selfish people can't handle that and should mature before they enter a relationship.
As a eastern european, I find the tiktok guy’s and Ryan’s accents quite similar…from the moment I saw the tiktok in this video, i thought to myself “no way this guy is 100% American”, the same for the proof of life video…
This should be a reason the government shouldn't ban tiktok....they find unfaithful husbands.?? This title is so wild, so I'm so excited to wacth this !
I feel strongly about this as a Filipina. I’ve seen women from my culture see foreign men as their lifeline because of how horrible their living conditions are. I have sympathy for them but also feel bad at how the stereotype of Southeast Asian women are and its similarity to the “pick me” culture is perpetuated.
Kinda like Sherri Papini, only hers was all for attention while this guy wanted to disappear completely. Both ultimately hurt their families. Disgusting behaviour.
my older (half) brother had a phase were he kept saying that he was gonna find himself a japanese wife bc "asian girls are more submissive" i had to look him straight in the eyes to remind him that i am half asian (dutch-indonesian) and that i was pretty much the opposite of what he dreamed asian women to be (encouraged by my asian father, he always tried his best to raise me to be strong and independent)
As a Turkish, the moment I saw that house and the door, the curtains etc I was like that looks exactly like Türkiye and then you said the doors are manufactured there and China lol
we learn about this in a college near by in Oshkosh WI. as a criminal justice major a lot of our professors were officers on this case. they are completely disgusted by this man and how he tore apart his family and the community.
I think this is one of the most earliest times I've gotten to a video. Very happy about it because I get to enjoy this before my Christmas eve dinner. Thank you for making videos like you do ❤
My grandpa was like a “passport bro” and now he’s stuck in Thailand trying to get a divorce but if he does she will take most of his money making it hard for him to come back to America 😭
There was this Chinese guy where i live who was supposedly an “excellent swimmer” who, on a family boat outing, went down the steps of the boat to swim in the lake and never came back. No search ever found him. When I first heard this story, my first instinct was, “he faked his death, his prob half way back to China already” And funnily enough all the stories regarding this matter just stopped. No media catch ups or anything. Just one story & the lake being dredged and searched that’s it.
When I'm paying attention and I want to really hear the story you tell the story like nobody else I love it. However when I'm trying to go to sleep and I just need some background noise your voice is so soothing and so wonderful it just lulles me right to sleep. Also when I'm in the car on a long road trip to go see my son which is frequently I can put you on and I don't have to look at the video because you're descriptions are so wonderful and your storytelling is so great that I don't need to look at anything I can just listen and it keeps me occupied my entire trip and it goes by so fast. What I'm trying to say is I thoroughly enjoy your videos no matter what I'm doing no matter what mood I'm in I love your videos!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I don't think feminists are mad about Passport Bros wanting foreign women, I think they're more mad for the foreign women and the digs passport bros throw at "western" women!
They don't want partners they want property, im rooting for these women to play these pros all the way to the bank. I consider myself a feminist, im a stay at home mom and am not overweight and very much enjoy going to the gym, I don't have colorful hair or facial piercings, many of us don't fall into the descriptions they throw out but I digress
@@daniellenelson5300 Yeah, even if you do fit those stereotypes these men couldn't HOPE for a shot with you. There's a boatload of cooler, better guys who love alt chick's 🤷
I’m a feminist and I don’t care. People keep getting caught up on this sensationalized version of feminism. It just wanting equality between men and women. If my good sis wants to serve her man have at so long as it’s her choice.
I saw the passport bros activity on Instagram and they are shifting their focus on buying land and developing the land (if they have the funds) because Dominican women are rising in their education and professional development 😅
Exchanging your teeth for someone else’s isn’t going to help disguise something nefarious. You would easily be able to tell that the teeth were extracted before the body was burned. The heat from a car fire is not going to be hot enough or last long enough to turn everything to ash. There would be no reason for all the teeth to be out of the bone after a car crash/burning , even with a direct blow to the mouth. If you tried to make it look like trauma knocked out the teeth, in reality the bone would fracture and some of the teeth would stay in the bone rather than come out. I’ve extracted teeth from mouths for 25 years.
UPDATE:
On Dec. 11th, it was confirmed that Ryan had returned to the United States on his own. He was subsequently charged with obstructing an officer and arrested. The Sheriff’s Dept is also pursuing restitution for the expenses of the search.
He pleaded not guilty and told the judge, “I can't pay; I don't have money. So I'll defend myself…I have $20 in my wallet in the other room. So that's what I have." Still, Ryan made bond and is no longer incarcerated; meaning that he is free to go until Jan 13th., his next court date.
On Dec.12th, Emily Borgwardt filed a petition seeking a legal separation from Ryan Borgwardt citing that their marriage is “irretrievably broken.” She is pursuing full custody of their three high school aged children. On the documents, Ryan had no listed attorney, was ‘self-employed,’ and was living at an ‘unknown address.’

as a Colombian girl is so so triggering this topic for me , because I live in LA, and you cant imagine how many times I have hear guys trying to play me just because im a curvy woman with a exotic accent .

stay safe and dont ever date a guy who only shows interest after you reveal your nationality/background.

My thoughts the entire time
The short guy getting mad at women not wanting to date him for his height while being INDIGNANT at the thought of dating someone fat is hilariously tone deaf
For both
One can be changed, though
@@islifeacomedy3861Not necessarily. For both actually. I might be confusing it with a different type of medical procedure but there IS a way to alter your height by a few inches. And different people have different opinions on what "fat" is to them which also depends on an individual's proportions imo
@@islifeacomedy3861 ignoring that what counts as fat is subjective… based on that logic he should humble himself even more. She can find someone who likes fat women OR lose weight even while dating him. He’s stuck being short and can ONLY date people who don’t care about height.
AND weight changes over time. So imagine he GAINS weight while ALSO being short… Or HE gains weight and she loses it as they date. Who’s more desirable? Mind you this is based on Op’s thought process, not mine. So again he shouldn’t sneer at the thought of dating people who are technically better off than him based on his own views of desirability.
I havent watched the video yet, but you do realise that someone being fat says a lot about the person. Being short is something you're born with. You can work yourself and your body to stay healthy, and if you're actively throwing your quality of life out the window because its too much work? Well, thats on you.
And lets not even bring up the 0.1% of fat people that are fat because of actual genetical problems.
A lot of passport bros here in Japan. They stupidly think that Japanese women are docile and submissive and quickly married them, just to realize in no time that this is not the case. They either end up going through nasty divorces and custody battles or living miserable lives totally isolated in a foreign country (as typically they do not bother learning the language).
✨karma✨ in action lol
That’s awesome lol.
Japanese women are docile and submissive 12 out of 12 of the ones I've been with. On a scale of 1-10 10 being the most docile and submissive, 10 for each of them. The ones there, and the ones here in the U S. I divorced one of em for being too submissive, liking only what I like, having no sauce. I am not bragging, I'm just here to say that I do not know what you're on about. It's not like I'm the exception to the rule. Maybe there's a reason why like you said, dudes are going there expecting to find the submissive and docile.
Not to mention they're basically just squeezed for cash. They always assume "asian women are trad women" not knowing a lot of them are similar to western women

What a lot of Western guys don’t get is that women in the East are often way more feminist than they think. Here’s the deal…many Eastern countries have tough economic conditions, so women are out here hustling hard, working, contributing to their families, and doing whatever it takes to improve their situation.
That whole “submissive” vibe some western people assume eastern women have….Yeah, that’s more like a survival tactic or just a strategy to get out of their situations . Honestly, if you think about it, that’s super feminist in itself. These women are driven, resourceful, and embody the OG feminism…fighting for better lives in their own way. I’ve never seen women more motivated than Eastern women.
this is true as someone who lives in ASEA, most families are matriarchal and both parents are expected to put in effort. there is no such thing as gender privilege in terms of employment and work status but more on hierarchy and experience.
Heavy on the matriarchal families part!! Everyone I know grew up in a family where mom is the final boss lol

I lived in SE Asia for ten years and saw a lot of passport bros. Disgusting. They just want a woman that they can manipulate, and they use money to do it. I met my partner over there, and we are still going strong 9 years later and with a beautiful son. I didn't travel to find love. I travelled to experience a new culture and just happened to find love. Love shouldn't be a transaction.
All relationships are a form of transaction. You need to expand your definition of transaction. If you are doing all for someone and getting nothing in return, you're being abused. Even children give you passing on your genes, even if they don't love you back and bring you joy, which they almost always do.
That is how luv should be. I been single 11yrs now since my sons birth n bein a single father n I'm gonna remain single as i don't want any1 to take my precious time away from my son. But he's grown up now n now 11yrs old n so if i do happen to meet some1 special n 1 thing leads to another, then maybe I'll move on. But i highly doubt it. Most prob stay single either way.
@@MissFost amen

It is absolutely disgusting what I see from these gross passport bros. White men in Thailand just ogling me and my bsf when we’re just trying to exist.
@VioletProVixen Fetuses in the womb provide their mothers with their genes and give the mothers various health benefits. And that is with a growing infant in uterus. Do yes, all relationships are transactional to some degree.
It can never be a man's fault for something he did. Everything has to be justified by something worse the women in his life did, like not teaching him better or nagging. Because somehow nagging is worse than faking your own death or murdering your whole family smh.
There will always be weirdos who blame victims, like in this case and the Chris Watts case. However men are often vilified and blamed for stuff that isn't their fault (like being SA'd by a woman or physically attacked by their girlfriends).
@@RachelRichards you mean like women are? "What were you wearing? Why were you there? What did you do to provoke him?" All things that are said to women.
The narcissism
Yep. That’s what I’m seeing from men in the comments, too. And a few sad women. “Women do it too…” Men have abused and oppressed women since the beginning of time. Confused individuals.
@@RachelRichardsWhile this is true, and I agree, it's important to have discussions about men hurting women without having to remind women that men can also be victims. We absolutely know. Anyone pretending otherwise is ridiculous and vile.
And its equally important to have discussions about men being hurt by women without women talking about how bad men are.
These conversations don't have to be had all at the same time, always. It can minimize the impact the conversation has if we get bogged down with, "but of course not all ______" to avoid hurting people's feelings.
This case is about a bad man.
I'd use a stronger word than weirdo; let's call them what they are; apologists. They blame victims because it justifies their own actions or lack of understanding.

men will do ANYTHING but actually sit down and have an honest conversation about their feelings lol
If you’re adult enough to choose to get married and have children, you better be adult enough to sit down and tell your spouse you want a divorce if you are over it. I say this as a woman who earns equally as much as my husband and wouldn’t gain anything in a divorce. I’m married strictly because I want to be. No financial motive to stay or leave. Divorce wouldn’t be the end of the world, but it’s not my goal. My husband knows he’s free to leave, but he has to pay for the divorce unless it’s a mutual decision. If I choose to leave, I pay. It doesn’t have to be complicated and there’s no reason to fake a death.
I have ADHD and listening/watching long form videos would sometimes zone me out. But all of Stephanie's videos, not just here in Rotten Mango, but in all of her channels, is so engaging that I'm 100% tuned in from the first few seconds of the video until the very end.

You need to understand the fact that you are not special to these men,even if he married you,at some point he can and will switch up on you. So even if you are married don't forget to live your own life.
@@aselyne5631Yup, so you'll be resilient
Even without marriage, that can happen. It's why the best solution is twofold; raise our kids to be kind, and never let yourself be totally dependent on another person without any support.
My sister is a SATHM, but even she has family support, and has extra money on her own. Not that my BIL would ever hurt her or the kids, but it's just smart to be stable on your own as well as in a marriage.

It's that they think that they're so much better than they really are, and that you're so much less than you really are. It's the arrogance of it that's really disgusting and off putting.
The word needs to be spread, warning women of people like this.
My ex got a $750k policy on me after I told him I wanted a divorce….I found the paperwork, that’s how I’m still here. People are nuts.
OMFG that’s scary!!!! Glad you found out😮
Oh. My. God.
That’s terrifying!
What?!?
Sounds like a VERY interesting story.
I’m so sorry, sister. I hope you’re in a much better and safer place now. 💙
That is so terrifying to even think about😟😟 someone whom u onced loved and cared is out to get u i cannot
Honestly, I just think he ran out of money and discovered it wasn't sparkles and roses. I sincerely believe he thought he'd come home and his "good Christian woman" wife would take him back. I'm so proud of her for divorcing him and opting out.
13:23 I think that is pretty freaking impressive that they can actually detect someone’s scent from floating in a boat above the water, from someone lost beneath the water.
*Man’s Best Friend really are Phenomenal Creatures!!* ❤🐶❤
I love Dogs, my current little girl is 2.5years old. But this makes me love them even more!❤🥰)
seriouslyy dogs are so cool🥰
Yes, that's incredible!! Dogs really are amazing
We so don't deserve dogs.......
@ some of us do, as We show them the unconditional love that they show us. My little girl is currently passed out from the over excitement of Christmas and opening all her presents/playing with all her new toys 🤭🥰
yeah dogs are amazing at detecting things! they can sniff out drugs, early signs of cancerous tumours, and obviously missing people. truly second best to none
Imagine being so much of a coward to face ending your marriage, faking your death, get found out, and now forced to face the authorities for your cowardice 😑
They could have divorced privately. This could have been one of the many, many lives of people who ended their marriage, lived to tell the tale and even find love again.
His goal was insurance fraud for his family's benefit. Divorce won't achieve this outcome.
That is so heartbreaking for the wife and children, first he fakes his death abandoning his children making them believe they lost their father 😢
Then it turns out he's alive and he has chosen to abandon his family knowingly and is refusing to return because he knows he's in trouble.
How can he hold his hand high and call himself a man.
I have zero sympathy for this man but my heart aches for these babies.
I was also thinking this! The amount of emotions you go through when you lose a parent (I have personal experience) and/or a spouse.. it’s one of the worst feelings ever. Then to find out they aren’t dead but they don’t want to come back.. is just another level of trauma and pain!!
@shaunanixon4838 I understand this very well, my father passed on Christmas Eve 2008 😢 I've lost 26 people in my life, the father is especially hard. Mom and him were not together anymore and he did abandon me when I was a child. This kind of pain lasts for long periods of time and it's taken almost 30 years for me to move on.
The man from this case abandoned these children twice and in such despicable ways 😭 I feel so sorry for them.
@ I lost my dad 4 years ago.. it’s really hard over the holidays.. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and spread all the love you can! Stay safe and warm!
I can’t wrap my brain around it.. the fact that he would just leave his family and make them go through that horrible situation and feelings.. I feel so bad for the family and I hope they are doing better..
@shaunanixon4838 I am sorry for your loss, I hope you stay safe and have a good Christmas.
This is not a real man 🤷🏻♀️ this is an unfeeling monster who doesn't deserve the title of father.
He never cared for them, he was selfish and foolish and hurt the people he should have loved the most.
Agree. He’s a coward and doesn’t deserve to call himself a man.
As a Dominican woman, I couldn’t have say it better than you! And that’s what makes so hard for us who are living out of the DR to visit our country, because everybody is expecting for you to give them money 😢
Your videos have helped me more than I could ever express I spent almost all of my free time and driving time listening to your videos and podcasts and I could not thank you enough for all the hard work you provide to keep me and your millions of fans happy, thank you for saving me and so many other people we love you Steph (and mr mango butt of course)
Passport bro = American incel w money
How are they incels if they are getting action overseas? Maybe passport bros just like women who weigh less than them?
@@mikelund327They only get action because they prey on poor women who need the money. That's why a lot of the time you see them brag about barely legal women in poor areas. They are in losers
@ I accept this
@mikelund327 nah they just want control and those ladies will play into it until they get the greencard, good on them they're probably tired of those fools
@@mikelund327cause they’re usually taking advantage of the circumstances of the women there. They intentionally go to countries where our dollar is worth significantly more than there’s. There’s tonssssss of passport bros in the military, a sgt that was in my company went to Poland and said almost everyone was getting pussy there cause our dollar is worth 3x more
i know this probably won’t be a happy video but to everyone seeing this, whether your year has been brilliant or terrible, you made it, on behalf of everyone you’ve loved and lost. Merry Christmas guys♥️♥️
Yes, we made it! Merry Christmas 💜
Thank you. I needed that. 💙
I'm so glad I'm not as miserable as all the people defending this dude saying his wife and kids must have been annoying and the patriarchy and whatever tf else. The victim complex goes crazy.
how do people always find a way to blame a woman for a man’s actions?
Not only is it selfish to the family but to FAKE a death and to thus cost the whole community so much time and money... That man has some nerve. He'd have to have had some VERY good reason to up and leave like that, but there's honestly none that I'm reading or hearing. Even the life insurance policy idea doesn't seem like a convincing reason.
absolutely mind blowing that so many people IMMEDIATELY blamed the wife for her husband faking his death, abandoning his family, and fleeing the country!
My grandma always said, "If you have to say it, it's not obvious."
If you have to *tell* imaginary women to be disappointed about "losing" you, that means that theres no obvious reason to be disappointed. 👀
Stephanie girl, you made my day! ❤ This has truly been the most challenging Christmas of my entire existence and a rotten mango video on Christmas Eve is exactly what the doctor prescribed. Everyone please don’t forget to tell your loved ones that you love them ❤ Happy Holidays!! ✨
Same.
I completely agree. It's been so hard. But I wish you and everyone else all the best and definitely hug and tell your loved ones how much you love them like you said. 💖
Happy Holidays!! May 2025 not be too rough on us all 💜
MANGO TEAM!
Please read this one!
There is a case in Puerto Rico that shook the entire island, and it still haunts a lot of us.
The case of "El niño Lorenzo," an 8-year-old kid who was ended night in a very gruesome and mysterious way in his own home under the care of his mother, Ana Cacho.
The interesting thing is that the mother "allegedly" had a party in the house at the time of the crime, and there were illegal dr***gs involved.
Who was at the party?
High-profile men, including politicians.
Who was in the room of the kid? His two underage sisters, whom they would even try to blame this crime on at one point.
Who was in the neighborhood?
"El Manco," a disabled person with mental health issues.
They would also literally try to blame... a disabled person just for being in the neighborhood.
Everyone knew the mother either did it or had something to do with it. But every piece of evidence against her was conveniently missed or not brought up.
P.S. She was spotted partying on a boat a few days after her son's death.
The family hired a private investigator, and when he started revealing the truth, he was fired and sued. He was supposed to come out with a book talking about the case, and it never saw the light of day.
The initial 911 calls do not match what was found at the scene and the trauma found in the body when the kid arrived at the hospital.
When the police realized they needed to investigate as a crime because this was no accident, they discovered that the crime scene was "cleaned," meaning that whoever did it tried to cover up the truth. The details of what they discovered I can't even write here because of how brutal they are.
The evidence found at the scene was constantly dismissed as "contaminated" and not brought up because it created "doubt."
I was a forensic science student at the time, and this case was studied in multiple classes from different perspectives: law, forensic evidence, crime studies, medicine, etc. EVERY professor said that based on the evidence, everyone knew who the real perpetrators of Lorenzo's murder were, but no one could say it out loud based on "proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt" and other legal issues.
This case has so much more interesting points, including evidence, theories, and conspiracies, worth exploring. Even the final verdict is just... not it.
However, I will leave that for you and your team to analyze and come up with your own conclusions.
I will say though, no one in the island feels like justice was served for this poor soul.
Puerto Ricans were left with the brutal realization of how influence and power can, in fact, allow some people to be above the law.
People often say that money talks, but for me, this case screams "money silences."
The world should know about this case, and I would love to hear your input on it!
Side note, I love your work! ❤️
‼️‼️
The dogs can smell through the water?! Wow!!
Only to the depth of 50' that lake was over 200' not worth having them out there
Stephanie, I applaud you for talking about things no one else dares to talk about. I hope I grow up to be like you. I love you Steph
There is literally NO THING talked here "no one dares to talk about'.
@@JohnnyLynnLee you must be fun
@@aoxyz Yeas, I am. And still nothing that is not OSTENSEVELY talked about was said in this video.
@aoxyz 😂 bruh, there is literally nothing here that no one else dares to talk about. 😂 haha and you out here with bot comments
@@_moon178 still noth9ing here that "no one dares to talk about'.
For the record, Zeus, the Newfoundland is used for water rescue, but he’s not a sniffer dog… He’s the guy that jumps in to actually save the drowning victim. Newfoundland’s are not used for their noses, they are used because they are such powerful swimmers with coats that allow them to swim in the frigid water. You can watch videos of the puppies being dropped from helicopters during their rescue training…. It looks mean, but they have to get used to it because it’s going to be a part of their future. Usually, after the first toss, they jump the minute the door is open because they love it so much, but that first one can be terrifying to watch. 😊
And the first part had chills behind my spine because I was watching it so late lol 😂
I love dogs ! Tysm for this info 😊
i never understood the submissive asian woman trope. the asian women I know are independent and don't put up with bs from anybody, let alone men. is this like a tv media thing?
Not submissive, just more agreeable.
@@hasanabdi7317 you're prob one of em
Fetishization of a Western media stereotype of Asian women
@@hasanabdi7317You can find agreeable and disagreeable people across cultures and ethnicities though.
It's really just stereotypes.
And ultimately, all couples fight and all relationships take some work. Lots of selfish people can't handle that and should mature before they enter a relationship.
As usual, men do everything except ask for a divorce
As a eastern european, I find the tiktok guy’s and Ryan’s accents quite similar…from the moment I saw the tiktok in this video, i thought to myself “no way this guy is 100% American”, the same for the proof of life video…
This should be a reason the government shouldn't ban tiktok....they find unfaithful husbands.?? This title is so wild, so I'm so excited to wacth this !
With the incoming administration, that will probably be the reason it will get banned😂
I'm so mad right now!!! Stephanie stole ma content for views and money proof on channel
@ville-c4u ain't no one gaf
😅@@ville-c4u
Is anyone else super disturbed halfway through these videos but stay because of the incredible storytelling?
I feel strongly about this as a Filipina. I’ve seen women from my culture see foreign men as their lifeline because of how horrible their living conditions are. I have sympathy for them but also feel bad at how the stereotype of Southeast Asian women are and its similarity to the “pick me” culture is perpetuated.
His poor, poor children. To grieve the death of their father only to find out he lied to them. Disgusting.
Kinda like Sherri Papini, only hers was all for attention while this guy wanted to disappear completely.
Both ultimately hurt their families. Disgusting behaviour.
Anybody else lonely on Christmas Eve thankful that she posted🥺
Yes!
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
😅😂😭 But now happy that Stephanie posted!
Here we are
Literally alone eating kfc 😂
Merry Christmas Everyone !🎄
I'm so mad right now!!! Stephanie stole ma content for views and money proof on channel
'Don't get emotional' SENT me😂😂😂
you can spot the passport bros lurking in the comments criticising their mindset. its hilarious.
my older (half) brother had a phase were he kept saying that he was gonna find himself a japanese wife bc "asian girls are more submissive" i had to look him straight in the eyes to remind him that i am half asian (dutch-indonesian) and that i was pretty much the opposite of what he dreamed asian women to be (encouraged by my asian father, he always tried his best to raise me to be strong and independent)
why can’t men just divorce
He could surely get an investigation into tax evasion for staging his own death as well as the insurance fraud right
5 ads in one video? DAMN babe, get that bank 😭💯
Use the Brave browser.
I'm so mad right now!!! Stephanie stole ma content for views and money proof on channel
It's an hour long video, if ur gonna complain about watching 10s ad every 20 minutes get a premium
@svyugejfudfqn1lz0fhekq9us I have TH-cam premium and there are still wayy too many ads. Not from TH-cam.
"Stole me views"? You should get views alone for being a leprechaun
As a Turkish, the moment I saw that house and the door, the curtains etc I was like that looks exactly like Türkiye and then you said the doors are manufactured there and China lol
Passport bros throw tantrums when you reject them.
Badda Bing Badda Boom
Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year, to you!
🎅🏻🤶🏻
Isn't it Bada Bing Bada Boong?? Lol I always thought it was Boong 😅
@EsoteriaHealing 😆
Pretty sure it's boom.
we learn about this in a college near by in Oshkosh WI. as a criminal justice major a lot of our professors were officers on this case. they are completely disgusted by this man and how he tore apart his family and the community.
I think this is one of the most earliest times I've gotten to a video. Very happy about it because I get to enjoy this before my Christmas eve dinner. Thank you for making videos like you do ❤
The way your husband goes "Hm?" at 24:20" made me exhale air out of my nose, you guys are awesome
My grandpa was like a “passport bro” and now he’s stuck in Thailand trying to get a divorce but if he does she will take most of his money making it hard for him to come back to America 😭
lol! Thailand has a lot of laws making it profitable for Thai women to fleece filong.
And you should help him
@@VegasraisedKinda hard to do that if you don't have the money to get him out of a pricey overseas divorce.
There was this Chinese guy where i live who was supposedly an “excellent swimmer” who, on a family boat outing, went down the steps of the boat to swim in the lake and never came back.
No search ever found him. When I first heard this story, my first instinct was, “he faked his death, his prob half way back to China already”
And funnily enough all the stories regarding this matter just stopped. No media catch ups or anything. Just one story & the lake being dredged and searched that’s it.
Probably one of the people Stephanie was referring to that actually got away with taking his death…. Crazy thought
@ he too had a whole family, wife and kids
😢😢😢
So he notified the police that he's alive, but not his family? Sad.
When I'm paying attention and I want to really hear the story you tell the story like nobody else I love it. However when I'm trying to go to sleep and I just need some background noise your voice is so soothing and so wonderful it just lulles me right to sleep. Also when I'm in the car on a long road trip to go see my son which is frequently I can put you on and I don't have to look at the video because you're descriptions are so wonderful and your storytelling is so great that I don't need to look at anything I can just listen and it keeps me occupied my entire trip and it goes by so fast. What I'm trying to say is I thoroughly enjoy your videos no matter what I'm doing no matter what mood I'm in I love your videos!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She is like listening to a radio show!
Ive been following this case since they thought he was out of state and not dead. So surprised to see you covering this!
I've been following since he went "missing" on the lake. This story is wild. Who even does that to their children?? Gross
@kweenz109 seriously! Absolutely despicable
In light if this story, shoutout to Mr. Panda for showing what it means to be a supportive husband. Shoutout to Stephanie and Mr. Panda for having a relationship we can all strive for.
was having such a terrible day today ty for uploading steph!
NOT ME FINDING YOU HEREEEEE FISHHHHHYYYYYYY
Man: Should I move to Uzbekistan?
Average tiktok instant gratification user: uz what? bek where? Huh?
I don't think feminists are mad about Passport Bros wanting foreign women, I think they're more mad for the foreign women and the digs passport bros throw at "western" women!
They don't want partners they want property, im rooting for these women to play these pros all the way to the bank. I consider myself a feminist, im a stay at home mom and am not overweight and very much enjoy going to the gym, I don't have colorful hair or facial piercings, many of us don't fall into the descriptions they throw out but I digress
@ agreed, hoping these women are milking these men for everything they have!
@@daniellenelson5300 Yeah, even if you do fit those stereotypes these men couldn't HOPE for a shot with you. There's a boatload of cooler, better guys who love alt chick's 🤷
I’m a feminist and I don’t care. People keep getting caught up on this sensationalized version of feminism. It just wanting equality between men and women. If my good sis wants to serve her man have at so long as it’s her choice.
I saw the passport bros activity on Instagram and they are shifting their focus on buying land and developing the land (if they have the funds) because Dominican women are rising in their education and professional development 😅
That sounds like progress 😅
54:25 this segment is really important to highlight during these times
Exchanging your teeth for someone else’s isn’t going to help disguise something nefarious. You would easily be able to tell that the teeth were extracted before the body was burned. The heat from a car fire is not going to be hot enough or last long enough to turn everything to ash. There would be no reason for all the teeth to be out of the bone after a car crash/burning , even with a direct blow to the mouth. If you tried to make it look like trauma knocked out the teeth, in reality the bone would fracture and some of the teeth would stay in the bone rather than come out. I’ve extracted teeth from mouths for 25 years.
