Tigerlily Abdelfattah and Adnan Abdelfattah were a front-row couple throughout 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 7. The couple seemed to have more screen time than anyone else as viewers followed Tigerlily on two trips to see Adnan. At the start of the season, Tigerlily flew to Jordan where she married Adnan the same night she met him. After leaving Jordan, Tigerlily and Adnan met in Turkey a few months later to start working toward having a family. During the Tell All, the couple introduced their son Zeyn. 

While Tigerlily and Adnan initially seemed like one of the better couples this season, they have since fallen from grace. Recent behavior from both Tigerlily and Adnan has raised red flags for 90 Day Fiancé fans.

Adnan Abdelfattah was a bully during the Tell All

Adnan had a few controversial moments during the season, but his behavior at the Tell All was simply unacceptable. From the beginning, Adnan went out of his way to cause drama with his fellow cast mates. Adnan constantly picked on Niles Valentine, who opened up about his struggles with autism during the season. During Niles’ segment with Matilda Nti, Adnan kept interrupting him to ask about his own relationship. Niles was clearly overwhelmed, which only made Adnan harass Niles more.

Another cast member who Adnan disrespected was Brian Muniz. During his segments this season, Brian opened up about the incident that led to him becoming a wheelchair user. At one point, Adnan told Brian that he wouldn’t listen to him since he was in a wheelchair. This was incredibly rude and disrespectful of Adnan and is something that should never be tolerated. 

Vanja Grbic was another target for Adnan, seemingly because of her gender. At one point during a break, Vanja started a conversation with Tigerlily and Adnan backstage. When Tigerlily had to step away, Vanja expressed that she wanted to keep talking to Adnan. Instead of politely explaining that he shouldn’t talk to women alone due to his religion, Adnan became disrespectful yet again. He asked Vanja what the point of talking to her would be, which came off as rude. Even if Adnan didn’t mean it that way, he should have explained the situation instead of getting aggressive.

Throughout the season, Tigerlily was vocal and expressive. During the Tell All, however, she barely said a word. The only times she did speak were to defend Adnan’s bad behavior. She defended his disrespectful treatment of Vanja and Niles and later made even more disrespectful posts online. During a Q&A on Instagram, Tigerlily claimed that Niles wasn’t really autistic and that Brian got himself into a wheelchair. These were two very ignorant statements that Tigerlily had no right to make.

During the Tell All, Tigerlily did briefly speak up to criticize Ingrid Rezende. While discussing the moment when Ingrid revoked consent to be intimate with Brian, Tigerlily accused her of being deceptive since she was wearing lingerie. This statement was troubling, especially coming from a woman. Consent can be revoked at absolutely any time and Ingrid had every right to say no when she did.

90 Day Fiancé fans are skeptical of Tigerlily’s financial situation

Tigerlily’s reputation was stained even further when news recently broke about allegations that she had stolen $340,000 from her grandfather’s trust. This has since been questioned by numerous sources and Tigerlily denied it. It’s still not clear what the story is here, however, fans have had issues with Tigerlily’s financial habits long before this news.

Since the start of the season, it’s been evident that Tigerlily lives in a bubble when it comes to money. In her opening scene, she spent over $20,000 on a watch for Adnan. She explained that she funds her lifestyle from alimony from her ex-husband. Later in the season, however, Tigerlily claimed that she was hotel hopping with her kids when their lease ended. Many viewers felt that something didn’t add up in Tigerlily’s story. 

Tigerlily further infuriated fans when someone asked how they could become a handwriting specialist like her, during her Q&A on Instagram. In response, Tigerlily explained that the course was $30,000. She didn’t acknowledge the abnormally high price in any way. This rubbed some fans the wrong way, as it seems that Tigerlily is ignorant as to the average person’s financial situation.

90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days is available to stream on Discovery Plus.
