As fans eagerly tuned into the latest tell-all episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, many found themselves
frustrated with host Shawn Robinson. A significant portion of the audience is calling for her dismissal, expressing
disappointment over her perceived inability to manage the escalating conflict between cast members Niles Valentine
and Adnan Abdal Fata.
The tell-all featured an intense confrontation between Niles and Adnan, which seemingly spiraled out of control without any intervention from Shawn. Viewers expected her to step in and mediate the situation, but she remained on the sidelines, frustrating many fans who felt her inaction contributed to the drama. “I really hope Shawn took control after this. Adnan knows exactly what he’s doing, and everyone is just letting it happen,” one viewer lamented. Another fan questioned her role, bluntly stating, “What is Shawn’s job here? She should be fired; she doesn’t do anything.”
While criticism of Shawn was prevalent, much of the backlash was also directed at Adnan for instigating the confrontation. Many viewers felt that he revealed his true character during the tell-all, yet he continues to maintain that he is justified in his actions. Adnan’s partner, Tiger Lily, has taken to social media to defend him, asserting that his behavior was warranted in light of Niles’ comments. This defense, however, has not sat well with fans, some of whom have gone so far as to call her “delusional.”
The debate has emerged regarding whether Shawn’s hands-off approach was intentional. Some speculate that she may have been instructed to refrain from intervening, possibly to heighten the drama and boost ratings. Given her long-standing role as host, fans have typically expected a certain level of engagement and conflict resolution from her during tell-alls. However, her apparent lack of effort to diffuse tensions this time left many viewers unimpressed and uncomfortable with the unresolved hostility.
The heated exchange between Adnan and Niles highlighted the growing tension between them, particularly as Niles has openly criticized Adnan’s treatment of Tiger Lily, labeling him as controlling. Adnan, feeling disrespected by Niles’ remarks, was unyielding in his confrontational stance. Matters escalated further when a special appearance by Matilda’s dad prompted Adnan to create even more drama. As emotions ran high, Niles reached a tipping point, demanding that Adnan be removed from his sight. Despite the intensity of the situation, no actions were taken to ease the conflict, leaving viewers with lingering questions about the resolution.
With emotions still running high and no apparent mediation, fans are left to wonder: will the ongoing feud between Adnan and Niles ever be put to rest? As discussions unfold online, many are urging Shawn to take a firmer stance moving forward. What do you think? Should Shawn have stepped in during the altercation, or was she simply adhering to the show’s established format? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
