Summary

Yara Zaya admits to joining 90 Day: The Last Resort for money, which surprises some fans.
  • Yara is a former makeup industry worker and has since started her own online clothing store and makeup brand.
  • Yara has faced criticism for her businesses and accusations of drop-shipping, but she continues to work hard to earn her money despite being a young mom.

90 Day: The Last Resort cast member Yara Zaya lashed out at a fan who accused her of joining the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off for money. The 27-year-old from Ukraine moved to New Orleans during 90 Day Fiancé season 8. Yara had difficulty adjusting to life in America as she spent lonely days with Jovi Dufren being away on his job for months. Yara and Jovi were discussing getting divorced even before they got married. But they did go through with a Las Vegas wedding and even welcomed a baby the same year whom they named Mylah. Since then, Yara and Jovi have had their fair share of ups and downs.

However, Yara and Jovi repeatedly prove they're happy together as they travel the globe and post about it on their Instagram.

Being on a show about couple's therapy is odd, and it caused one fan confront Yara about the situation. Yara posted an Instagram Reel with behind-the-scenes clips from the time she was filming the spin-off. She used the Martina Camargo song "Me Robaste El Sueño (Tambora)" to document her pretty outfits and recent weight loss, and also moments she spent with fellow cast members on the beach at a Florida Keys resort. The disappointed fan commented, "Anything to keep those paychecks coming..smh," to which Yara replied, "And? I’m working for my check!!!"

What Job Does 90 Day Fiancé's Yara Zaya Do For A Living?

Yara and Jovi from 90 Day Fiance looking slightly surprised

Yara used to work in the makeup industry when Jovi met her on a travel app. Fans soon discovered she had been a regular on dating shows back in Ukraine. Upon her 90 Day Fiancé debut, Yara noticed she was getting popular by the day thanks to her personality and fashion choices. She was quick to find out ways in which she could cash in on this fame and began by selling a jacket that she wore in her first ever 90 Day Fiancé episode. Yara has since been the proud owner of two businesses in the U.S.

Yara's first business was Yara Zaya Shop, which is named after herself and is an online store where she sells outfits just like the ones she wears onscreen. It has everything from dresses to swimwear to jumpsuits. Yara soon tried her hand at beauty and makeup entrepreneurship by launching her makeup brand Boujee By Yara. Both her businesses were severely criticized and accused of drop-shipping. Yara was called out for allegedly buying her products off a Chinese wholesale website for cheap and selling them on her own at much higher prices. Yara defended her products until the controversy died down eventually.

When Yara chose to marry Jovi, there was speculation she never really loved him and was after him for his money. Yara was called a gold digger and compared to names such as Anfisa Nava and Larissa Lima. While Yara loves showing off her wealth online by taking expensive trips and wearing designer labels, she does also prove that she keeps working hard to get her money despite being a young mom. It's not surprising Yara admitted that she agreed to do 90 Day: The Last Resort for money. But then again, Yara and Jovi could really be facing marital issues since everything on Instagram is not as it seems.

90 Day: The Last Resort premieres August 14 at 9 p.m. EDT on TLC.
