Fans Criticize Joanne’s “Selfish” Desire for Her Kids to Move to Ireland on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way

90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 6 released its latest episode on Monday, September 23, 2024, showcasing the aftermath of Joanne and Sean revealing to their children that they had been married for two years.

During a discussion with her sons about her marriage to Sean, Joanne’s younger son inquired where they would live moving forward. Joanne expressed her desire for her sons to relocate to Ireland with her, if they were amenable to the idea.

Fans of the TLC show took to social media to criticize Joanne for suggesting that her children should drastically change their lives:

“Joanne was selfish for believing the kids would eagerly want to move to Ireland right away!!”

“Joanne claims she doesn’t want to hurt her kids, but literally everything she has done has done just that. After realizing the hurt she caused, she now states that she wants to abandon them,”a fan commented.

“Joanne knows she messed up and is now selling dreams to save face. These kids don’t want to move to Ireland, and she knows their dad probably isn’t on board with that either,”a tweet read.

Fans of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 6 felt that Joanne’s kids were “pissed”for not being told about the marriage sooner:

“Y’all here? Joanne just informed her sons that Sean is now their stepdad, and they’re not just shocked. They are pissed,”someone tweeted.

“Joanne, what if one of your sons got married and didn’t tell you for two years? Wouldn’t you feel hurt? Betrayed?? I mean, who’s the adult here?”a fan commented.

“Did Joanne and Sean really believe that getting married would instantly make the kids ‘HAPPY’? Did they not watch the first season of THE BRADY BUNCH or the 1968 movie Yours, Mine and Ours? Clearly, they didn’t,”a tweet read.

Viewers further expressed their thoughts on the situation:

“Joanne didn’t anticipate that lying to her sons for two years would create such negative energy? I thought she was a psychic?”someone posted.

“Joanne claimed she wouldn’t undermine her kids, yet she thrust them into a whirlwind of emotions,”a fan remarked.

Joanne Discusses Moving to Ireland in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 6 Episode 13

In the 13th episode of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 6, titled “There’s Something About JoJo,”Joanne had a candid conversation with her kids about her marriage to Sean and the future they might share.

Joanne noted their shock but sensed that their inquiries ran deeper than just their immediate reactions. She emphasized the importance of allowing her children to speak openly without Sean in the room.

Her older son Joey expressed his surprise at the news, while Jesse, the younger son, voiced his confusion given the two-year timeline. Joey inquired why Joanne hadn’t told them sooner, and she admitted that she should have communicated earlier.

When Jesse asked where they would live next, Joanne stated her desire to make Ireland their “home base,”while still being able to travel back and forth to America. She explained that she wanted her children to be able to visit their father and might need to discuss this with him before finalizing any decisions.

“Say, if we don’t want to come live with you and Sean, where would we stay?”Joey posed.

Joanne reassured them that they would still have their home in New York and that she would continue to return home, involving the kids’ grandparents and father in future considerations.

Viewers reacted critically to Joanne’s desire for the children to relocate to Ireland following their conversation.

90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 6 will continue with episode 14 airing next week on September 30, 2024, on TLC.
