Luis Mendez Fires Back at Ex Molly Hopkins: She Used Me, Too!!
Luis Mendez’s 90 Day Fiance marriage may not have worked out, but the dude has remarried just months after his divorce.
His ex Molly Hopkins says this is proof that he was just using her.
Now, Luis is hitting back — saying that she was using him, too.
Speaking to Us Weekly, Luis Mendez fired back after his ex-wife claimed that he was just using her to get tot he United States.
“You know something?” Luis begins his statement.
You can tell from his phrasing that he is feeling a little hot under the collar about the accusation.
He says that it was Molly who was using him.
“[Molly] only took me here to get fame for her business,” Luis claims.
Molly has a lingerie business and has eagerly promoted it on social media during her time on 90 Day Fiance.
Luis claims that their marriage was never about him.
“She never wanted to give me the opportunity to get my papers,” Luis accuses.
Luis then repeats himself for emphasis: “Never.”
Interestingly, that is not the same thing as a denial that he just wanted to come to America.
Luis Mendez remarried in September, and made headlines this month when the world learned of it.
He has not revealed the name of his new bride, but has gushed about how in love he is with her.
His divorce from Molly was finalized on May 4 of this year.
Some may find it suspicious that he did not immediately defend himself by saying that he married Molly because he was “in love.”
Keep in mind that English is a second language for him, and also that his romance with Molly ended very poorly.
It’s understandable that feelings that she tried to sabotage his status in America would come to mind.
Molly spoke out about Luis’ marriage just one day earlier.
“I feel it clearly shows he was possibly using me and my finances to get here,” Molly accused.
She feels that this is obvious “because our divorce was final in May.”
“So he either already knew [his new wife] and had a plan all along and I’m a fool,” Molly suspects.
“Or we are both fools if she doesn’t know him,” Molly said.
Molly concluded: “Because I met Jeykll in the Dominican [Republic] and got Hyde here, or vice versa. Either way, may it work out because I’m glad he’s gone.”
(As we said at the time, Hyde is always the bad one)
(Yes, this is an actual photo that Luis and Molly took during their relationship)
It may be that Molly and Luis had true feelings for each other, once upon a time.
Then, when it didn’t work out, those feelings of affection turned to resentment and bitterness.
It is also possible that they were both using each other from the start.
Molly got a hot, younger husband and a measure of reality television fame to promote her business.
And Luis, well, he got to come to America.
It’s difficult to tell what went into their marriage to begin with.
Through the fog of anger that led to their divorce, it’s possible that even Molly and Luis themselves are no longer sure of how they used to feel.
It does seem safe to say that they’re both happy to be out of this toxic relationship.
Maybe Luis’ new marriage will work out better than his old one.

Molly Hopkins: Luis Getting Remarried is Proof He Was USING ME!
Former 90 Day Fiance couple Molly and Luis are over. So over, in fact, that one of them has already moved on.
Luis got married just a few months after their divorce, and now Molly is speaking out.
She says that this marriage is proof that he was just using her to get into America.
Molly Hopkins spoke to Us Weekly and says that Luis Mendez’s wedding is evidence that he is no good.
“I feel it clearly shows he was possibly using me and my finances to get here,” Molly says.
“Because,” she reasons. “Our divorce was final in May.”
Their divorce was May 4. Luis then got married in September, just four months later.
“So he either already knew her and had a plan all along and I’m a fool,” Molly explains.
“Or,” Molly says. “We are both fools if she doesn’t know him.”
That makes sense. It does seem like either Luis had this woman on the side all along, or has simply moved on.
Molly warns that Luis is not to be trusted “because I met Jekyll in the Dominican [Republic] and got Hyde here, or vice versa.”
(For the record, Hyde is generally the bad guy)
“Either way,” Molly wishes. “May it work out.”
She explains that she gives this union her blessing “because I’m glad he’s gone.”
As we previously reported, Luis gushed about his new bride.
“I love this girl so much,” he shared. “She’s amazing.”
Luis has yet to reveal his new wife’s identity.
“The most amazing part was meeting her,” he raved. “Because she changed all life to happiness.”
He says that he and Molly “have no contact.”
Despite the contentiousness of their relationship, Luis doesn’t seem to outwardly harbor any ill will towards his ex.
“I just want to be happy,” Luis claimed.
That said, he wants to keep his distance.
If Molly has a response to his marriage, he said, “I don’t want to know anything about it.”
“But,” Luis continued. “If she wants to congratulate me, it’s OK.”
Before speaking out, Molly did go on Instagram live and acknowledge that Luis had gotten married.
“Oh yeah, for all of you who care,” Molly said. “I totally got used, but it’s all good
“Yeah, he’s married to someone else,” she acknowledged. “She looks older than me, from the Dominican Republic.”
“So all the people who thought I was crazy, his situation was pretty lovely,” Molly said of their erstwhile relationship.
“I mean, we were together for two years, so it’s all good,” Molly concluded. “Oh God, it doesn’t hurt at all. I’m good. I’m so good.”
At one point, it appeared that Luis was accusing Molly of abusing him during their marriage.
Domestic violence is extremely serious.
Even before that, a lot of people were convinced that Molly was no angel — but that Luis was just trying to use her.
Some would say that two bad apples deserve each other.
We would say that the entire world is better off with one fewer toxic relationship.

Luis Mendez is Married Again; See How Molly Hopkins Reacts!
After a tumultuous relationship, 90 Day Fiance stars Luis Mendez and Molly Hopkins got a divorce earlier this year.
Now, wedding photos have surfaced and Luis has confirmed that he has remarried.
Molly also saw those photos, and she has a lot to say about it.
Earlier this year, Luis Mendez and Molly Hopkins finalized their divorce.
It was May 4, in fact — Star Wars Day.
Now, just over five months later, Luis has not only moved on — he has gotten married.
No, he didn’t get back with Molly.
Yes, Luis has confirmed that he tied the knot (again).
And also yes, there are photos, courtesy of the Instagram account @90dayfiance_.
Luis spoke to In Touch to confirm things.
“Yes, I did get married,” Luis affirms.
“That was my wedding [on] Sept. 19,” he says.
There, he is referring to some earlier and much vaguer photos of him wearing a tux at what people had assumed was a friend’s wedding.
“I love this girl so much,” Luis gushes. “She is so amazing.”
That is so sweet!
So, what does Molly Hopkins, his very recent ex-wife, think of all of this?
“I have no contact with her,” Luis says.
Luis explains: “I just want to be happy.”
Where Molly is concerned, he says: “I don’t want to know nothing about it.”
“But if she wants to congratulate me,” Luis adds. “It’s okay.”
Molly did address Luis’ marriage on Instagram Live. We don’t know that we’d call her message congratulatory, however.
“Oh yeah,” Molly says. “For all of you who care or who wanted to talk junk about me, um, yeah I totally got used, but it’s all good.”
“Luis got married to a Dominican lady in Jersey, the best I could tell,” Molly explains.
“I saw pictures,” Molly says. “So yeah, he’s married to someone else.”
And Molly, who recently flaunted her weight loss on social media, doesn’t have a high opinion of this new union.
“Oh yeah, he totally married someone,” Molly says. “She looks older than me — from the Dominican [Republic].”
“I just saw the pictures,” Molly continues. “So for all you people that thought that I was crazy…”
“His situation was pretty lovely,” Molly claims. “I mean, we were together for two years, so it’s all good.”
“I know, I just — I feel like I need to redeem myself,” she explains. “Because a lot of people talked so much s–t about me, and I’m not with it.”
Molly then concludes: “But, hey, it’s all good!”
A lot of celebrities like to assure fans that things are all good when reality is otherwise.
We can only hope that Luis’ current marriage is less problematic than his last one.
90 Day Fiance fans were immediately suspicious over the age difference between Molly and Luis.
Some feared that he intended to exploit her for a Green Card.
The actual marriage turned out to be worse than that, and there was even a video that may have shown Molly abusing Luis.
Domestic violence, or even the implication or accusation of it, is absolutely never okay.
We should note that, even if Luis’ new bride is an American citizen, Luis would still have to return to the Dominican Republic and reapply for a K-1 visa.
However, there were suggestions on Instagram earlier this summer that Luis had returned home.
At the time, 90 Day Fiance fans assumed that Luis had been deported. He had been staying with family in New Jersey.
But now, that July visit might be explained if he went back for a couple of weeks in order to prepare for a new marriage.
We do not know enough to confirm that. All that we know for sure is that this looks like one hell of a rebound.

90 Day Fiance: Has Luis Mendez Been Deported?
It’s been a little over a month since 90 Day Fiance saw shocking footage that may have shown Molly Hopkins abusing Luis Mendez during their marriage.
Ever news broke that Molly and Luis are divorcing, and fans have worried that their short marriage would cost Luis his shot at American citizenship.
Unfortunately, Luis has taken to social media to reveal that those worries have been realized.
Over the weekend, former 90 Day Fiance star Luis Mendez shared a photo that, curiously, lacked a location tag.
For ages, he’s been staying with his brothers in New Jersey, and he hasn’t been shy about sharing that data with his followers.
The curious lack of location data prompted one fan to ask, in spanish, if he had been deported.
Luis replied: “Si estoy en DR hace una semana.”
Translated, that means: “Yes, I’ve been in the Dominican Republic for a week now.”
Another follower then asked Luis where he is within the Dominican Republic.
(This follower used the initials RN, as in la Republica Dominicana, which is the country’s name in Spanish — and it’s oddly weird that other languages have other names for each other’s countries)
Luis replied that he is at the capitol.
The Dominican Republic’s capitol is Santo Domingo, which is where Luis was working at a bar when he and Molly first met.
He’s back to square one.
If you’re wondering why his marriage to Molly didn’t automatically warrant citizenship, you should remember that it’s much more complex.
Marriage can put a person on a path to citizenship, but it really just allows them to get a two-year green card — and even then, it’s a conditional card.
Luis was not married long enough to receive one.
Even if he had stayed with Molly long enough for that particular card, he would be at risk of deportation at the end of that two-year period.
Even before the U.S. began implementing anti-immigration policies that shock the world, deporting legal residents and caging children, it is not easy to become a naturalized citizen.
Some suggest that it’s Luis’ own fault that he got deported.
From the beginning, there were people suspicious of why a young man would suddenly become so interested in a woman twice his age that he’d happily uproot his entire life to be with her.
Some suspected that he was a golddigger.
Others suspected that he was just trying to use her to obtain American citizenship.
The tumultuousness of their relationship — which was, at the very least, a verbally toxic and short-lived marriage — proved that marriage, for the right reasons or the wrong reasons, is not always so easy.
Part of the appeal of 90 Day Fiance is that viewers want to see if these relationships can work out.
Cultural differences can be a major factor in the outcome of any relationship. And so can the race to the altar.
As the reality series’ name implies, people with K1 visas have only 90 days to spend in the United States with their intended before they have to either get married or leave.
Viewers also tend to speculate about motives of different spouses. Some non-Americans are eager for citizenship. Some Americans on the show seem to fetishize the idea of a foreign spouse.
Hopefully, Luis will have better luck in love on his next venture.

Molly Hopkins: Caught on Video Abusing Luis Mendez?
Be warned: this video features some upsetting content.
90 Day Fiance couple Molly Hopkins and Luis Mendez are divorcing, and, at one point, it seemed that Luis was accusing Molly of domestic violence.
Now, this very tense video has surfaced. Is this evidence?
Molly is from Georgia. Luis is from the Dominican Republic.
The two met in Santo Domingo and fell in love. But they had a falliing out and, despite efforts to make it work, decided to divorce at the beginning of the year.
Later, Luis hinted to followers that there was more going on than a simple parting of the ways.
"If you want to see all about domestic violence soon," Luis teased on his Instagram. "Follow this page. It"s gonna post there."
Now, it appears that cell phone video that Luis may have recorded during his relationship with Molly has surfaced.
The one-minute video appeared on multiple social media outlets, though it is not currently on Luis" actual Instagram page.
The unsung superheroes over at Starcasm did their best to piece together a transcript of the audible parts of this video.
They note that there is some disagreement over whether Luis is saying the word "hate" or "hit" in this video.
That is a … very important difference. We"ll have more discussion of that at the end.
Molly: "Good luck! Oh, you think you’re going to get something from me? Cause you ain’t takin’ s–t from me!"
Luis: "Why you have to …?"
Molly: "You’re not gonna do anything. Where you talk about …"
Not everything that they say is easy to understand. There are portions of the video where the audio is just garbled.
Luis: "Why?"
Molly: "You think you’re gonna get s–t? You ain’t gettin’ s–t!"
Luis: "Why you — Why you hate me? Why you hate me? Why you hate me? Why?"
There"s some more audio that is just unintelligible.
Molly: "Good luck with that! Oh, I got money, and I got a lawyer. You’re out. You’re f–king outta here!"
Luis: "Why? Why you hate me? Why you hate me?"
Molly: "Because you know exactly!"
Luis: "That is a bulls–t. That is a bulls–t."
Molly: "You manipulate!"
Luis: "After I left everything for you? Because I …"
He is referring to leaving his home in the Dominican Republic to come to George to be with a significantly older woman.
Molly: "You didn’t leave everything! …it has nothing to do with filming. It has to do with you…how you think you’re gonna stay here"
Molly: "Don’t f–kin’ threaten me. Don’t threaten me…"
Luis: "You know, I did everything because I love you."
Molly: "…piece of s–t. You’re f–king trash"
Yikes.
Now, quite frankly, with the exchange of those heated words, we feel very confident in saying that these two should not be married.
If someone talks to you that way, they are a toxic influence on your life.
But … while this sounds like verbal and perhaps emotional abuse, was there any domestic violence in this video?
Several times, it seems that Molly is raising her hand. But whether she was trying to strike Luis or simply poiting for emphasis (as many people do while speaking) is not entirely clear.
(In contrast, 90 Day Fiance"s own cameras were there to film it when Anfisa Arkhipchenko struck Jorge Nava, which left little doubt)
Perhaps a courtroom video analyst who has trained for years in these things would have better luck determining if the video is evidence of violence.
Similarly, perhaps some fancy audio tech could help determine whether Luis is saying "hit" or "hate." Hate is toxic, but hitting is domestic violence.
No matter what, the video sure is intense and a little scary.

90 Day Fiance: Molly Hopkins & Luis Mendez Are Divorcing
90 Day Fiance couple sometimes get their happily ever after. Since Molly Hopkins and Luis Mendez beat the odds and got married, it looked like they were home free.
Unfortunately, as we mentioned, Molly and Luis separated a few days after New Year’s Day.
Now, it’s official — Molly has filed for divorce from Luis.
At first, it was a classic boy-meets-girl story.
Almost.
In this case, the “boy” was 26 years old and working in a bar in Santo Domingo.
The “girl” was much older than he and from Georgia in the US.
They met when she was on a trip to the Dominican Republic and they fell for each other.
And they decided to broadcast their story on 90 Day Fiance.
Aside from criticisms over being perceived to be using each other — Molly wanting Luis as a “boy toy” and Luis wanting US citizenship and perhaps Molly’s financial stability — they had other concerns.
The biggest was Molly hoping that Luis would be a good stepfather to her two daughters.
There was also Molly’s shady criminal history. Suffice it to say that her driving records are a little scary.
But apparently they found a way past all of that.
In July of 2017, Molly and Luis got married.
They made it! … Sort of.
Marriages, as we know, aren’t always a guaranteed happily ever after. Far from it, honestly.
Molly and Luis had some sort of spat and parted ways before the 90 Day Fiance Tell All Special … but they reconciled before the special itself aired.
That was not to last forever, though.
On January 5th, the couple separated.
Some fans who learned of the split hoped that they would reconcile. But that was not to be.
Now, Reality Blurb reports that Molly Hopkins filed for divorce from Luis Mendez on January 23rd.
The papers were filed in Georgia, of course. Molly used her married name, Molly Mondez, when doing the filing.
Like most divorces, she cited irreconcilable differences, writing:
“Plaintiff is entitled to a divorce from Defendant in the statutory grounds that the marriage is irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation.”
The 42-year-old is keeping their finances separate and hopes that Luis doesn’t make any moves to dispose of any shared marital property that they might possess.
A sad ending to a story that many had hoped would end with a new, happy family.
Luis doesn’t seem to be too broken up about the divorce — he’s nonchalantly posting topless selfies on Instagram and promising fans that he’d be happy to meet them after the divorce is finalized.
He did, however, rant and rave about TLC because he claims that he wasn’t paid for his time on 90 Day Fiance.
It’s been speculated that non-American stars on the show may have to wait to be paid until they have their work visas, for legal reasons.
But Luis declared his threat to sue over it, saying that foreigners were simply used for free labor and discarded like trash. Yikes.
It’s probably safe to say that Luis has some regrets.

90 Day Fiance: Luis Lashes Out, Threatens to Sue TLC!
Oh, boy.
This past season of 90 Day Fiance had its ups and downs for all of the relationships, but one of the new 90 Day Fiance stars is so unhappy that he’s publicly ranting against TLC and the show’s producers.
And he’s also announced his intention to sue.
Molly Hopkins is 41 years old. She’s an American — specifically from Georgia.
26-year-old Luis Mendez is Dominican.
He and Molly met and fell for each other outside of the US, when she was on a trip and when he was working in a bar.
The two of them decided to not only pursue their relationship, but to go on 90 Day Fiance so that the rest of the world could watch the highs and lows of their relationship.
Oh, and so that they could make a little cash.
And one of the big concerns that Molly had was seeing how good of a stepfather the more-than-slightly younger Luis would be to her daughters, one of whom is 7 and the other of whom is 16.
In addition to the all-important test of whether or not Luis would fit in with Molly’s family …
(After all, your kids should always take precedence over your romantic pursuits)
… The couple had a few hurdles to cross. Molly Hopkins has a shady criminal history that mostly involves what we’ll delicately describe as reasons why you don’t want to ride in a car with her.
Also, Luis would have to get along well with more than just Molly’s family. His romance with Molly needed to click when they were living together.
(Sometimes, what’s sexy and romantic on vacation turns into an annoyance back at home, in the real world)
Finally, some wondered if the younger man who had tended bar in Santo Domingo was really interested in Molly Hopkins for romantic reasons … or if he was using her, hoping to land legal residence in the United States.
As we already told you, Molly Hopkins and Luis Mendez did get married.
But married isn’t the same thing as happily ever after, folks.
See, after the couple got married — which they apparently did without informing TLC of the event, which kind of defeats the purpose of appearing on the show in the first place — things went south.
The two separated, only reconcile before the Tell All special was filmed.
But then the husband and wife seemed to have trouble again.
At the beginning of January, Molly told Luis that she was filing for divorce.
That is part of what has led to Luis Mendez’s dissatisfaction, we assume.
But that’s not the focus of his rant, which he posted to social media:
“TLC is a piece of s–t.”
Wow, tell us how you really feel.
“They only use the immigrant people for make million dollar, they don’t pay to us in the first 90 days and they destroy our lives with bad fame.”
That’s quite an accusation.
“But I don’t receive any money, only the American people bc we are trash for them.”
He added another message with similar points … and expressed a strong desire to take legal action.
“Immigrant people only are trash for TLC. I want to meet a lawyer in NYC to sue those bastards.”
Now, it seems that he’s complaining about money. 90 Day Fiance stars are paid for their work, but in comparison to other reality salaries, it’s not all that much.
We should point out that, although countless companies employ immigrant labor and pay them less than they deserve, that isn’t necessarily what’s behind this.
You need a work visa in order to work in the US if you are not an American citizen. It’s possible that they aren’t legally permitted to pay Luis until he gets one.
Now, if there’s been anything improper in terms of paying him, maybe Luis can get that money through a lawsuit. But our guess is that Luis just needs to have a work visa.
It sounds like he’s complaining about his portrayal on the series. That … well, he presumably signed a contract saying that he can be edited in any way that the show sees fit. Tough luck.

90 Day Fiance Spoilers: Do Molly and Luis Make It?!
One of the new 90 Day Fiance couples that we’ve been getting to know is made up of Molly and Luis.
They face a number of relationship hurdles beyond the issue of citizenship. The biggest of those is probably a conspicuous age gap.
But we now know a huge spoiler about what awaits Luis and Molly. Okay … you’ve been warned!
First, a refresher.
Molly is an American from Georgia. She’s a lingerie entrepreneur. She’s also 41.
Luis is Dominican … and he’s only 26.
Their age difference is pretty significant, though we’d point out that part of what raises people’s eyebrows is that they’re accustomed to seeing the gender dynamic being a little different.
.In other words, when a man has a girlfriend 15 years his junior, he’s praised. When a woman like Molly does the same, people are more likely to emphasize her age and suspect the man of being up to something.
In this case, some fans wondered about Luis’ intentions.
He was working in a bar into Santo Domingo when he and Molly met, and some wondered if he was less interested in Molly and more interested in her US citizenship … and potentially her money.
Molly is also a mother, and 90 Day Fiance teased that her daughters weren’t entirely onboard with her prospective new husband.
We’ve also learned a bit about Molly Hopkins’ shady history.
Long story short? Molly’s criminal record and multiple mugshots suggest that she might not be the safest driver.
We sure hope that Molly told Luis about all of that before …
(Remember how we said that there woudl be spoilers?)
… They got married!
Starcasm reports that Molly and Luis are married.
Reality shows thrive on secrets, but it’s hard to keep marriages a secret when they’re a matter of court record.
In this case, the court records show that Molly Hopkins and Luis Emmanuel Mendez Rosa tied the knot on July 20, 2017.
(Just two days before Selena Gomez’s birthday!)
It’s wonderful that they were able to get past their relationship barriers and make it to the altar. However … it seems that, in so doing, they may have stirred up some trouble.
See, remember how Molly has two daughters? The youngest one’s name is Kensley.
Kensley’s father and Molly got their divorce a little over three years ago.
Molly was granted full custody, and records indicate that her ex made child-support contributions but not on a regular basis.
Until this year, the biggest “stir” that Kensley’s father had made, that we know of, was asking for legal recognition as Kensley’s father (so, ensuring his visitation rights) and for an amount to be set for child-support payments.
In July of this year, he suddenly changed his tune … and filed a Complaint For Equitable Partitioning And Damages.
That means that he wants payment for his portion of the house that he says that they jointly own, and repayment for a $ 45,000 loan that he says that he gave Molly. (He says that she has repaid over half of it, but that a $ 20,500 balance remains)
Molly says that she is unaware of any lingering balance on the loan.
Molly’s ex is asking that she be forced to sell her car (which she was awarded during the divorce) in order to pay.
We somehow suspect that the timing of all of this was not a coincidence.
Marriage represents an opportunity in the eyes of divorced exes. When alimony is involved, it’s usually grounds for them to stop paying.
In this case, it may be that Molly’s ex doesn’t like the idea of another man living in a home where he once lived or driving a car that he once drove.
Some exes can’t let go.
And then there’s the reality of Luis now being a stepdad to Molly’s daughters. That can easily stir up unhappy feelings.
We don’t know whether Molly’s ex sees this as more of a legal opportunity or an emotional motive, but … we imagine that the litigation for this isn’t a lot of fun for anyone involved.
