‘Darcey & Stacey’: Georgi Rusev Accused of ‘Love Bombing’ – What it Means & Is it True

Darcey & Stacey sister Darcey Silva and fiance Georgi Rusev seem to be playing out the same dramatics she did with her last two guys with TLC cameras rolling. Once again, Darcey’s crying a bucket load of tears on season 2 of her spinoff and tells him “you’re love bombing me”. For those not familiar with the phrase, let’s dig into it and see what this accusation means.

Darcey Silva Says Georgi Rusev Love Bombed Her – What’s That?

Darcey Silva yells at Georgi Rusev that he is love bombing her on Darcey & Stacey. What’s that phrase mean, though? Like gaslighting, it’s a manipulation. In this technique, you overwhelm the target of your “affection” with seemingly loving actions and words. This is used to win trust and affection. This can be a warning sign that something is too good to be true, according to a couples’ therapist.

Giving lots of gifts or over-the-top gifts is one love bombing move. Handing out broad compliments like “you’re perfect” is another example. Lots of calls, texts, and demanding your attention is another sign of bombing. Love bombers move fast towards commitment and may suggest that you’re soulmates early on in the relationship. They can also seem intense and needy.

Those descriptions all came from a licensed therapist – but a quick glance might remind you of some person (or persons) that’s an alum of 90 Day Fiance. The latest promo for Darcey & Stacey does not have Darcey detailing exactly what she thinks Georgi did to earn this accusation. But it’s certainly interesting when you look back at her time on past seasons of TLC shows.

On Season 2 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days, in Amsterdam, within what looked like a day of her arrival, Darcey almost fell of her bicycle trying to get Jesse Meester to wheel over to a jewelry store to look at engagement rings. And on Season 3 of Before the 90, Darcey gushed over Tom Brooks so much after their initial meeting that he asked her to dial it back.

Georgi Brings in the Big Guns – Calls Jesse Meester – Are they Doomed on Darcey & Stacey

This season on their 90 Day Fiance follow-up show, Stacey Silva gets into a fight with Georgi Rusev, wondering if he’s after Darcey Silva’s money. Of course, he takes offense, and Stacey’s husband, Florian Sukaj gets pulled into the mix. Georgi snaps and accuses both women of being supported by their father. To be fair, rumor has it he bought the house Darcey lives in with her girls.

Then, Georgi shouts some profanities and says he was homeless for a while. Determined to dig to the bottom of this – and apparently ruin another relationship – they call up his ex-wife. On Darcey & Stacey, we’ll meet Georgi Rusev’s ex-wife, who seems to be American. And she tells Darcey that she found a sugar mama website on his browser. That triggers more angst and drama.

Georgi Rusev - Jesse Meester

And that’s when it seems Georgi calls for backup. And he video chats with Darcey Silva’s ex, Jesse Meester. Because what would a season of a 90 Day Fiance adjacent show be without the Dutch dude himself? In fact, Jesse revealed in February 2021 that he speaks to her other exes and that they think she “genuinely needs” help. Of course, Georgi’s mad Darcey talked to his ex.

Then, Darcey Silva’s enraged that he spoke to Jesse. The latest promo shows tons of tears and her wailing “This is not real love”. This season of Darcey & Stacey was supposed to be about their wedding planning – but this stuff is anything but…

Will Darcey & Stacey Deliver a Wedding This Season – or Yet Another Spit?

Darcey & Stacey ended last season with Georgi Rusev putting a ring on it. This is what Ms. Silva spent four seasons of Before the 90 Days trying to make happen. So, TLC viewers reasonably expected to see Darcey planning her wedding in season 2 of their show with Stacey at her side. But of course, that’s not the way it’s going.

One almost has to wonder if the network hopes their little ratings dynamo will never make it down the aisle to wedded bliss. After all, her tears are gold with the viewers who keep coming back to see who’ll break Darcey Silva’s heart next. For now, on this season of Darcey & Stacey, it looks like it might be Georgi Rusev that does it.

But, you never know. Darcey and Georgi have been posting loved-up comments on each other’s social media. And more recently, both have been heavily promoting season 2 of the reality show. You’ll have to wait and see if those love bombs explode into genuine feelings – or if Darcey Silva’s collateral damage – because you know, love it a battlefield…
