The 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Season 8 Tell Was Filmed Before The Arrest
Mahmoud & Nicole May Have Skipped It
Mahmoud was arrested Wednesday, February 21, in downtown Los Angeles. Interestingly, the Tell All for90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?season 8 was filmed even before the season could premiere on TV. Usually, the Tell All is filmed when the show is done airing midway. WhileJohn Yates’ Instagram account appears to be disabled now, the90 Day Fiancéblogger shared anInstagram post on August 05, 2025, revealing that, Tell All had been filmed the previous weekend in New York.The dates of filming could have coincided with the date of the attack.
Nicole & Mahmoud Are Not In The Tell All Promos
Shaun Robinson Makes Shocking Reveal
Fans suspected Mahmoud and Nicole were fired from the show because of Mahmoud’s arrest. However, the couple was very much a part of the promos and the final teaser. Mahmoud and Nicole featured in almost every other episode of season 8 until their storyline was given an abrupt ending in the June 13, 2025, episode. Their final scene showedNicole and Mahmoud fighting over an alleged cheating scandal.Mahmoud was accusing Nicole of having an affair and hiding something from him on her phone. The couple seemed adamant about wanting to end their marriage, but they’d had such arguments before.
Still, Mahmoud and Nicole are nowhere to be seen in the Tell All promos. A promo for the Tell All was posted by90 Day Fiancéon the Instagram page before the final episode. It gave a glimpse of the Tell All set with eight couples shown sitting along with host Shaun Robinson. As expected, Nicole and Mahmoud were not a part of the frame. Wondering if they were perhaps cropped from the shot, a fansierraaadawnnn, commented, “What happened to Nicole and mahmoud? Will they be there?” They received a surprising reply fromShaun, who commented, “We will address.”
Will Nicole & Mahmoud Return To The Franchise?
Nicole & Mahmoud Are Likely Done With 90 Day Fiancé
A different fan,lady_dallasocreplied to the OG commenter that they’d “read” Mahmoud and Nicole were removed from the show due to a domestic disturbance. The fan also added that they wondered why “Angela gets to stay on,” referring to Angela Deem who was often shown getting aggressive towards Michael Ilesanmi on the show. Shaun also decided to reply to this fan and told them, “We will mention,” probably talking about Mahmoud and Nicole and not Angela and Michael. Shaun saying that Nicole and Mahmoud will be “mentioned” or “addressed” on the Tell All, confirms they won’t be present.
Considering their absence from the Tell All, there being no conclusion to their storyline and Mahmoud shouting that he hates reality TV from the rooftops,90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?could bethe last-ever show Mahmoud and Nicole are a part ofin the franchise. The couple might choose to deal with their issues in private and keep their future arguments off-camera if they are even still together after whatever happened in February.
