The 90 Day Fiancé star who went missing in Brazil and had his family worried sick is now claiming he never actually went missing at all!
In an interview with TMZ on Thursday, Paul Staehle argued the whole thing was blown out of proportion. He claims he was living by himself in Manaus, Brazil when he went out on a boat with a fan of the TLC reality show in hopes of clearing his head. That’s when s**t hit the fan.
The duo were headed to a floating house in the Amazon, but along the way, the boat had some mechanical issues. The fan then left him alone — which caused him to freak out and start contacting his family and friends for help. This is when he got ahold of his mom, telling her he was “lost” and needed someone to come pick him up. Yes, he literally used the word lost!

But now he says he wasn’t really lost or in as compromising of a situation as he initially thought. The fan ultimately returned to the boat and was able to fix it, so they continued on their journey. As for why he stopped answering his family’s messages? He blamed it all on poor reception in the area — and once they got to their destination, he didn’t have a phone charger, making it hard for him to stay in touch.
Wow. He’s really trying to downplay the whole thing!
As we reported, fans grew alarmed when the TV personality’s wife Karine started sharing cryptic posts on social media, as if mourning him! She then explained he was missing in the South American country.
His mother’s text exchange with him was even posted online, as you may recall. Take a look:
He seemed so stressed!!
But despite the urgency of his texts, Paul insists his family was just assuming the worst
