Fans of TLC’s hit reality show “90-Day Fiancé” were left puzzled by Via Netherton’s absence from the recent “Before

the 90 Days” Season 7 Tell-All episode. As a newcomer to the franchise, Via had previously shared her international

love story with her fiancé, Sunny, but her unexpected absence during such a crucial episode raised several questions

among viewers.

A Noteworthy Absence

Many fans anticipated Via’s presence at the Tell-All to discuss her relationship challenges with Sunny. Instead, she opted to join the cast via video call, positioned alongside him on the screen. The decision has led followers to speculate if her absence was related to her relationship or if other personal issues were at play.

A Dark Past Unveiled

In the initial episodes of the season, Via opened up about her traumatic past, revealing she is a survivor of sex trafficking. At just 17 years old, she encountered harrowing experiences that she has bravely shared with viewers. In addition to being a trafficking victim, Via has faced several other significant trials, including battling an eating disorder and enduring the loss of both a baby and a brother.

As reported by the Instagram page @MaryPants, Via’s struggles extended beyond her traumatic experiences; she was also embroiled in a Medicaid fraud scheme related to an organization called Community Outreach Behavioral Services. In an interview with Investigate West, she reflected on her experiences, stating that the trauma she faced made her feel “trafficked all over again.”

Ongoing Health Struggles

Health issues have also played a significant role in Via’s life, notably impacting her decision not to travel to New York for the Tell-All. Following a heartfelt Instagram selfie, she candidly discussed her health challenges, revealing a diagnosis of gallstones and a brain tumor. She described the past few months as traumatic, detailing how she lost her health “pretty much overnight.”

Before embarking on a trip to South Africa to meet Sunny, Via had already been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Upon returning to the U.S., she attempted to address her condition with the assistance of a licensed massage gun expert, a decision that ultimately exacerbated her situation, leading to ruptured lymph nodes, muscles, and nerves.

During the Tell-All, Via revealed that doctors had also discovered gallstones, which contributed to her losing nearly 50 pounds. Initially feeling that she and her medical team were on a promising path to recovery, Via soon lost faith in them and turned to prayer for healing. She disclosed that she had stopped eating solid food six months prior and was relying entirely on nutritional drinks for sustenance. Although she had managed to gain a few pounds, she admitted to still being underweight.

Conclusion

Via Netherton’s absence from the “Before the 90 Days” Tell-All episode raises important discussions around personal struggles, health issues, and the impact of past trauma on one’s life. As she continues to navigate these challenges, fans remain hopeful for her recovery and eventual return to the “90-Day Fiancé” franchise, ready to support her on her journey toward healing and finding happiness.
