A viral death rumor about the 90 Day: The Other Way star prompted her son to set the record straight.
A post claiming that 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way alum Debbie Aguero had died went viral on March 19. Her son Julian B. Lin responded the next day with a direct denial on his Instagram Story: "Mom has not kicked the bucket, she's alive and well, who comes out with this stuff?"
Debbie first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 4, where she packed up her life and moved to Morocco to marry Oussama Berber. The age gap between them was 43 years. Debbie reportedly met Oussama when he was 19 and dated him for four years before making the move. She became one of the season's most talked-about cast members, known for her colorful wardrobe, unfiltered personality, and a relationship that had viewers genuinely divided.
After The Other Way, Debbie continued appearing in the 90 Day universe on The Single Life Season 4, where she dated a man known as Ruben "The Cuban" Sanchez. Her post-Morocco storyline kept her in the rotation of active cast members, which makes the rumor land even more oddly. She hasn't been off the radar.
Debbie had also posted as recently as four days before Julian's March 20 denial, collaborating on an Instagram reel with TLC India. An active social media presence and a recent brand collaboration don't exactly support a death rumor.
It's not the first time false death claims have circulated about reality TV personalities, but Julian's frustration in his Instagram Story response ("who comes out with this stuff?") suggests the rumor spread widely enough to reach the family directly and prompt a public response.
It's not the first time a cast member's family had to shut down a fake story online, but the speed of Julian's response, in less than 24 hours after the rumor went viral. It shows how fast this stuff spreads. As of now, no source for the original false claim has been identified.
