Is Varya Malina Playing The Long Game With Geoffrey Paschel?

Varya Malina and Geoffrey Paschel appeared in 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days but later, he went to prison for domestic violence charges. The TLC alum appears to be very supportive and sticks around while he serves out his 18 years. But, some fans think the Russian native is playing the long game. 

Varya Malina Dodges Visiting Geoffrey In Prison?

Geoffrey received visits from his lover when he first went to prison. But, in January of 2023, she managed to get herself barred from doing that. It was all about her refusal to go through the X-ray body scanners at the prison. She claimed they were putting out too much radiation., So, it seems that the 90 Day Fiance alum doesn’t visit him these days.

Varya Malina sometimes talks about calling Geoffrey Paschel, but it can’t be easy to maintain a relationship via a phone. In the meantime, she lives in his home and earns money by managing his properties. As she manages to travel a lot, perhaps she earns a comfortable income. Is that why she acts so supportive of her man? 

TLC Fans Discuss Varya Malina

Many TLC fans like Varya but they seem disconcerted by her steadfast defense and loyalty to him. It puzzles them because the domestic case seemed violent and the 90 Day Fiance alum was found guilty. Why would she do that unless something was in it for her? No wonder some fans think she is playing the long game.

A recent Q&A revealed that Varya Malina won’t see Geoffrey Paschel out of prison for over a decade even with good behavior. When it arrived on Reddit, some people thought that it seemed very useful that the TLC star already won a green card by lottery. So, she doesn’t need Geoffrey for that. Plus, the 90 Day Fiance star is unencumbered by prison visits and has a home and an income. So, it might pay her to stick around. 

Playing The Long Game?

TLC fan u/Frosty-Paramedic-240 wondered:

I really like Varya on the show but I don’t know how she can defend this man. He was found guilty. Is she living off his money while he’s in jail?

Well, she certainly seems to be doing okay on her rental property salary and the roof over her head. So, in the comments, another person suggested, “…Crying face but somehow without the actual waterworks. She’s been acting since the very beginning and she knows how to put up a show. She’s playing the long game.”

Here are a few others who agree with that observation about Varya Malina:

• Agree there’s a payoff there for her. Didn’t she say she manages his properties? She’s definitely getting paid.
• The second the money runs out or he gets out of jail, whichever happens first, she’s gone.
• Guys she’s living off his money and property. Of course she’s gonna defend him. She can’t fall off the [gravy] train.
