Ella admitted to cheating on Johnny

On the March 13 episode of Before the 90 Days, Johnny told Ella that he’s not feeling safe flying to Dubai in the middle of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic to meet her. Instead, he would come to visit her at her ranch in Idaho in seven months. Ella was upset, saying, “I need attention. I need physical attention.”

Then Ella told Johnny that she was feeling so “distraught” about their relationship that she ended up cheating on him with a friend. She said, “When you’ve been going back and forth with this, I called over a friend and talked with him and cuddled with him. And we ended up having sex.”

After telling him, Ella expressed her remorse for hurting Johnny. She said, “You could see it on his face that he’s really upset. Like, I feel really bad now.”

Johnny takes full responsibility for Ella’s cheating

On March 16, Johnny posted a statement on his Instagram about Ella cheating on him. In the post, Johnny briefed fans on his relationship with Ella. He revealed that for over two years, the two had been trying to meet. He explained the situation regarding traveling to China during the coronavirus pandemic. Check out the Instagram post below:

He shocked 90 Day Fiancé fans when he took full responsibility for her cheating.

He said, “So i will not dig it more further. [sic] I must admit mostly about the pandemic otherwise we could meet 2 years earlier.”

Johnny says he acted like a ‘coward’

In the post, Johnny says that he was the one in the wrong. He said that since Ella couldn’t fly to China because of the restrictions, they tried meeting up in Taiwan and then again in Dubai.
