“Tigerlily seems to have arrived in Jordan with no understanding or research regarding proper attire or behavior. It’s starting to seem like she’s lacking common sense. She’s acting like a complete fool,”read another tweet.
Critics of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 7 pointed out Tigerlily’s failure to familiarize herself with cultural practices before her marriage to Adnan:
“Tigerlily, as an adult, you should have taken the initiative to research your husband’s country and customs online prior to your engagement. This isn’t complicated. You rushed into a decision with Adnan, and that was on you,”wrote one viewer.
“Tigerlily thought she could impose American norms on a Muslim man. It’s audacious and speaks volumes about her lack of understanding of the culture she married into,”another fan commented.
“I’m over Tigerlily’s storyline. She ignored the advice of others concerning her marriage and didn’t do her homework on his culture, country, or religion beforehand. I’m not buying it!”an irritated viewer tweeted.
Additional opinions from fans of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 7 included:
“I don’t believe that Tigerlily was genuinely unaware of the customs surrounding Muslim men and their families. She must have seen those previous storylines on the show. If not, that’s pretty alarming,”wrote a commentator.
“Absolutely, Tigerlily. The customs governing men and women differ significantly in Muslim culture, which you married into without conducting proper research,”added another user.
