Paul Leaks Recording of Karine and Her Baby Daddy Plotting to Scam U.S. Immigration and Get Him Arrested in the Process
Karine Martins, once a familiar face on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, has found herself in serious trouble with U.S. immigration authorities—trouble that could soon lead to her forced deportation.
Despite recently giving birth to a baby girl with her new boyfriend, Karine’s legal situation has taken a nosedive. Her estranged husband, Paul Staehle, who has been living in Brazil and keeping his distance, initially agreed to help her secure a green card through their marriage. Even though their relationship was no longer genuine, they could have potentially pulled it off—until Karine got pregnant by another man while still legally married to Paul. That unexpected twist not only shattered any remaining trust but also raised major red flags for Paul, who began to fear that he could be implicated in immigration fraud if he continued to support her green card application.
Realizing the legal risks, Paul backed out of the plan to sponsor Karine. But things took an even darker turn when he discovered that Karine and her new boyfriend, Michael, were allegedly still planning to use Paul’s name to apply for a green card—without his consent. In a calculated move, Paul recorded a WhatsApp call with Karine and Michael, during which they appeared to admit to knowingly trying to scam U.S. immigration. He posted the recording on Instagram just long enough for 90 Day Fiancé bloggers to download and reshare it, ensuring the evidence would spread far and wide. Though he later deleted the post, the damage was done. Paul’s goal was clear: expose the plot before it could drag him into legal jeopardy. Now, he’s completely cut ties with Karine, her baby, and her boyfriend, unwilling to risk arrest for a fraudulent scheme he never agreed to.
Karine’s situation is now spiraling. Her temporary green card has already been revoked, and with her history of unstable employment and a revoked visa, her chances of staying in the U.S. legally are slim to none. The political climate around immigration in the US right now is unforgiving, and her recent actions have only made things worse. It would take a miracle for her to recover from this mess. The saddest part of this entire saga is the newborn baby girl, who may now face an uncertain future. With Karine’s parental rights already under scrutiny due to past CPS involvement, the hope is that the child finds a stable and loving home—whether that’s with her biological father or through other means. As for Karine, she’s dug herself into a deep legal and personal hole, and the consequences are just beginning to unfold.
