"90 Day Fiance" fan pages and bloggers abound on Instagram. But, John Yates, who calls himself "Johhny from The Block" on his Twitter profile's been around for years. Over time, he also attracted a lot of fans among the cast itself. However, unfortunately, he also got a lot of hate from some stars of the TLC show, and it got ugly in the past. Rebuilding after his verified Instagram account got taken down, he seemed to be doing well again.
But suddenly, he went absent. Fans, worried, plead for something from him as they need to know if he's okay.
John Yates, popular with '90 Day Fiance' fans goes silent on his social media platforms
As a writer about "90 Day Fiance," I often use John Yates' interviews and insider tips as the basis for my articles, as do many others. Many cast members also enjoy the way John treats their stories on his Instagram. But, like anyone in the public eye, he also accumulated haters. Several fans on his Instagram account suggested that maybe something nasty going down behind the scenes made John just stop sharing for a while.
John currently runs two Instagram accounts. His @johnyatesofficial account attracted 14k followers. He last posted there on January 25. On that post, after many fans asked John where he is and sent their hopes that he's okay, one fan noted something to take into account. They wrote, "I miss his posts and insider live interviews but after watching how some people have targeted him, I understand him leaving."

Meanwhile, John's @johnyates327tv account gathered 45k followers. It might not sound like a lot, but recall he started his social media all over again after things got nasty a few years ago. Over there, he last shared something there on December 29.
It was a screenshot of verified "90 Day Fiance" cast member Larissa Lima asking fans to follow him. She said, "Please follow my friend and blogger...he's been by my side since day 1." Notably, though, fans noticed that some posts since then got deleted.
Here's what some fans said to John after they noticed his absence:
- "Hope all is well @johnyates327tv. Miss your posts!"
- "Wait what happened to all the other posts?"
- "Hope nothing bad going with John as he's been quiet these days."
- "Are you coming back @johnyates327tv."
- "Does anyone know what happened to John or the new show Hot and a Heavy?"
One fan noted, "I will take it as some crazy fans of the show were being bullies.
Hope to have you back soon."
