Ash thinking he could just ad lib and wing a seminar, rather than researching and preparing his presentation content before the seminar, shows that he has a very low level of intelligence, is delusional, and a fraud.
He also is neanderthal and very backward in his beliefs about gender roles, along with having mentally disturbed behavior, and believes in inequality and rigid roles for males and females.
"Avery nitpicking"? That is ludicrous - she asks important questions, and Ash is very evasive, obfuscates, couches his answers and conversation in platitudes, gives few details - he is a con man, and even if he were not a con man, his belief system and character and personality defects are unacceptable for having a happy life with him
Hmmm...I find her to be a cold nag, and fairly negative. And I agree with most of what he says about men and women, there are 2 genders for a reason. I believe in science. But I think he's too emotional and a bit of a scammer. How does he "believe in equality" as you put it? When did he ever say that?
again, and I'll put it in all caps so maybe you'll understand: WHY IS TLC IGNORING THE STORY WHEN THEY COVERED LARISSA'S MULTIPLE ARRESTS? WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD?
I even bolded it for you for even more clarity. Oh and three different women claimed he abused them, one so afraid of him, that she fled back to Canada, but you have "no opinion if they're lying or not".
You asked for possible reasons, I gave you one. Geoff is a US citizen, Larissa was not. I havve no idea whether or not that plays into or what TLCs real reason is. It might simply boil down to the fact that they originally WANTED to portray Geoff as a sympathetic character, while Larissa was cast as a shrew from the outset. Maybe they just want to stick to their original plot lines, who knows. Obviously this is a hot button topic for you but there's no need to turn the thread nasty over it.

Hmm....this could very well be true, and sad at the same time. Domestic abuse and the ignoring of it should be a "hot button topic" for everyone.

Ash was upset because he was exposed as incompetent. His business will probably be in the dumpster after being exposed on TV. You can only go so far on charm and how good you are in bed.
I fast forward through the lesbians. I just don’t care.
Oh, and did you notice Geoffrey’s nipple tattoos? What hetero male would have that? Icky. Just icky.
I am not a fan of tattoos on any level but Geoffrey's ones are gross.

It's not as important what they show on the show as it is what they would do after finding out the accusations against him. Will they mention them in the tell all? Did they tell Varya if they knew before she did? Remember that there's nothing real about reality shows and he's portraying the character that suits their plot line.
As for whether or not he's guilty, that a whole lot of smoke not to find some fire. Once (as in Paul's case) could be a relationship gone very very bad, but FOUR times? No way.
LOL! I do the same thing with the lesbians. Not interested in the least!
Varya and Geoffrey (no matter what his issues are) actually seem the most genuine with the right intentions. The others are using each other in one way or another. I don't believe any of them. David is just sad beyond belief.
Perhaps David and Yolanda could get together. They appear to be about the same intellectually, dumb as doorknobs.
The lesbian couple is so boring. I don't care about either one and I'm sick of hearing about her 'rare disease'. Ugh.

I read somewhere that Ash had lifted that whole seminar from another motivational speaker who pulled it off and made sense. Ash was terrible, just terrible.
Some people speculate that Ash is a paid escort. That makes more sense than he counsels women on relationships which he obviously knows little about.
I think something's off with Yolanda. At first I thought she was just naïve after being in a long safe marriage, but after watching her story she seems mildly cognitively impaired.
As Sophiasmommy says, they weren't married. I'm not even sure how much they were together with him being in prison off and on.
I think she's in denial about "Williams". She now knows he's not the person in the photos, she's saying that she didn't only fall in love with his looks, it was also due to things he said to her. The way I understood the small bits they showed, she wants to talk to him to try to get him to explain why he used someone else's picture. She's probably curious what he really looks like.
Similar happened with one of the other women, I don't recall if it was Michael with Angela or Sumit with Jenny.

Agree. I've posted articles at least 2 times, am posting one again. I'm reading allegations. What doesn't make sense to me is his friend Mary liking him if the allegations are true. If I remember right, they've known each other a few years.
I'm a survivor of DV. My best friend of 10 years lived with a guy I was dating. They dated before I started dating him. Back in March 1991; the day before my birthday, I walked into his apartment, he and my best friend were rushing to get dressed. Of course they denied sleeping together. I don't remember much. I know he hit me, at one point I was out cold. I woke up to a pitcher of ice cold water being dumped on my face; I felt like I was drowning. When it was over, the 4, gold diamond stud post earrings in my left ear were bloody and bent, so hit hit me pretty hard. My nose was broken, I had a fractured rib on my back left side and a broken left pinky finger.
We don't know anything about Paschel's first marriage but we do know he was married to his second wife (who we will refer to as wife #2) from 1998 until 2004. They have two kids, born in 1999 and 2000, and we believe those are the sons he introduced on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days.
That marriage was allegedly riddled with problems. In 2004, when the kids were 3 and 5 years old respectively, police were allegedly called after Wife #2 took the younger child inside but left the 5-year-old in the car. When law enforcement arrived, they found drug paraphernalia and arrested Wife #2. Paschel was given full custody of both children at that time and the pair began divorce proceedings.
During the resulting custody battle, Wife #2 accused Paschel of abusing her during the relationship. "[Paschel] has committed assaults against the [Wife #2] in the presence of the minor children as well as committing acts of violence towards the minor children themselves. [Paschel] has repeatedly raped the [Wife #2]. [Paschel] has further threatened the lives of [Wife #2] and her family numerous times. [Wife #2] fears for her safety in the event that she should respond to [Paschel]’s legal proceedings in any manner," according to reports.
The couple reportedly ended up with mutual restraining orders that permitted them to interact only in the context of therapy for their children. Paschel was granted custody and Wife #2 could only have brief, supervised visits. In 2010, they allegedly each did things to violate the restraining orders and ended up with suspended sentences over that.
Allison AKA wife #3, provided an affidavit in the divorce filing saying she, too, had been abused by Paschel during their marriage. Allegedly, he isolated Allison in their home, took her phone and limited her movements and interactions with people other than him.
Brittany is now no longer allowed to enter the US and she and Paschel started a drawn-out custody battle that is not yet resolved, according to reports. By 2018, a judge sent the boys to live with Paschel in Tennessee with Brittany getting custody of them one week per month. However, tragically, Kazhem passed away in 2018 due to unexplained causes. Brittany asked and received for primary custody of Cayvan in 2019, for reason we will go into below.
In 2019, Paschel was arrested for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend.
In June 2019, Paschel was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend in Knoxville, Tennessee. The unnamed woman had him arrested on charges of aggravated kidnapping, domestic assault, interference with emergency calls, and vandalism.
"He repeatedly bashed/slammed my head into the hardwood floors of my home," she alleged. "He dragged me through the house by my hair and continued throwing my body into walls and furniture. I know this because of blood on my walls, furniture..."
He had allegedly disabled her phone so she couldn't call for help and she had to run to a neighbor's to call 911. She was treated for a concussion that night. He faces charges of aggravated kidnapping, domestic assault, interference with emergency calls and vandalism. He will go to court about this case in March.
Unsurprisingly, Brittany, his fourth and current wife, used this as a reason to change their custody arrangement. She now has primary custody of their surviving son. Paschel says that Brittany and the unnamed Tennessee woman cooked this whole incident up to sabotage, frame him and take away custody of his son.

Yes, I posted about ulcers causing bad breath because I've never heard of that. What I read says that eliminating foods from your diet that aggravate the ulcer plus brushing both your teeth and tongue, flossing and using mouthwash can get it under control.
Google search - can a stomach ulcer cause bad breath Do ulcers make your breath smell? - the ulcer itself may not be the problem. But a type of bacteria that causes ulcers, Helicobacter pylori, can also trigger bad breath, according to a study in the Journal of Medical Microbiology. Treating the bacteria may get rid of the stink.

I've posted about the nipple tattoos too. My guess as to when he got them would be in the 90's because that's when a lot of people were doing it and getting their nipples pierced. I just googled his age, he's 41, born in 1979, so he would have been an older teen in the late 90's.
The 90 Day Fiancé star revealed via his Instagram that he got his tattoos at a convention. Sadly, the story isn’t particularly illuminating or climactic.
It turns out that a young Paschel thought getting a cool tattoo would make his friends like him more after visiting the convention with them. He went back to the convention and decided he wanted a tattoo.
Without a particular design in mind, he let the tattoo artist do whatever he wanted. Paschel explained, “I was studying it and the guy says, ‘Hey the convention is about to close.’ I said, ‘Ok, ok, I THINK I like this one.’ He furrowed his eyes and said, ‘Where would you want it?’ I came back with, ‘well, I think maybe, umm’ and he interrupted with ‘around your ****!’ This guy would know what was cool, right? Yeah, you know what, ‘I think it would look good around my nipples.’ To which he smiled, lit up another cigarette, and tattooed this on my fricking chest.”
Evidently, he has regretted those tattoos from the very beginning and is still mocked by his family to this day. He revealed that growing up he was actually against tattoos, but one would not be able to tell, since now he has a couple. The father blamed his friends for wanting to attend a tattoo convention, saying he was bored so he tagged along. The convention opened up his eyes to a world of “intricate” artists who were capable of drawing magnificent pictures on people’s bodies. Geoffrey continued to say that he decided at that moment to get a tattoo but was told by almost every artist that they were booked until he found a guy in the corner smoking a cigarette who agreed.

Because the DV with Larissa was while they were filming.

I couldn't believe how he walked away, practically running to his car until the producer asked what he was doing. Was he going to leave her there? If so, thankfully TLC people were there.

I agree, a paid escort makes more sense.
Ash tried to copy a speech by Mark Gungor. The main page on his website says Laugh your way, a couples' comedy event - Unlike many traditional marriage seminars that tend to be overly serious, technical and emotionally taxing, Laugh Your Way: A Couples’ Comedy Event is different because it helps couples deal with tough issues in a way that is fun and non-threatening. Through the two-day event, couples will laugh, learn and be able to make real positive changes to their marriages.
This page on his website lists the sessions. The 1st one is "A Tale of Two Brains" - Session one begins with a whole lot of laughter as Mark explores the differences between men and women. In this session, Mark shows couples how their problems may result from how men and women THINK about life in a different way. He explains how many of the struggles couples face in marriage are the result of a HEAD problem, not a HEART problem. Sounds like it's the one Ash ripped off.
Reposting a link that hertfordshire posted along with part of the article.

Interestingly, the views Ash tried so hard to communicate to the women weren't even his own. Instead, Ash copied his seminar almost word-for-word from well-known marriage and relationship speaker Mark Gungor. Gungor uses comedy to illustrate the differences between men and women and lead his seminar attendees down the path towards better relationships. Mark's seminars start with what he calls "A Tale of Two Brains," which "explores the differences between men and women." On his website, Mark explains his approach: "In this session, Mark shows couples how their problems may result from how men and women THINK about life in a different way." While Mark uses this speech often, Ash decided to commandeer "A Tale of Two Brains" for his own purposes.

For someone as sick as she's supposed to be, I'd think she would be wearing a mask wherever she goes. She has aplastic anemia
Google search - Aplastic anemia - is an autoimmune disease in which the body fails to produce blood cells in sufficient numbers. Blood cells are produced in the bone marrow by stem cells that reside there. Aplastic anaemia causes a deficiency of all blood cell types: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Aplastic anemia Mayo clinic - Aplastic anemia can be short-lived, or it can become chronic. It can be severe and even fatal.

I totally agree with this assessment. Ash is a tool and a pretender. Avery is nice and seems intelligent, aside from having 3 kids with 3 different men which they haven't talked about. Without knowing that, I'd certainly date her! Shes a decent (though not perfect) communicator and Ash is defensive because he knows he's full of s**t
