Tigerlily Taylor from her courage in choosing to marry Adnan Abdelfattah just four months after meeting him on Instagram. She was certain of her love for him and never doubted her decision. I was especially impressed by her decision to fly to Jordan with her glam squad to make sure she looked beautiful on her wedding day. I also appreciate Tigerlily's openness about the 19-year age difference between herself and Adnan.
Tigerlily is 41 years old and has two children, while Adnan is 22. Despite the significant age difference, I'm impressed that they have found each other and are committed to their relationship. It's clear to me that Adnan truly loves Tigerlily, although his affection can be overly intense, and he needs to work on that. Among all the couples featured in 90 Day Fiancé: season 7, I found Adnan and Tigerlily's storyline the most intriguing. While they do have some issues in their relationship, they are completely dedicated to each other, unlike some other couples.
Why Is Tigerlily Receiving Criticism After Tell All?

Since Tigerlily and Adnan made their debut in the season, they have faced criticism for their traditional relationship. Adnan has been accused of being overly controlling, and I have observed that Tigerlily had to completely change her lifestyle to adapt to his Islamic culture after becoming his wife.

I was disheartened to see her give up her clothing and limit her interactions with men just to please her husband. Even Tigerlily's co-stars have noticed that she sacrifices her expression to avoid conflict with Adnan. Despite making so many adjustments for Adnan, I see that Tigerlily doesn't seem to complain.
While Tigerlily may have received praise from Adnan for acting like a devoted wife, she has also faced criticism for her self-righteous behavior with her 90 Day Fiancé co-stars during Tell All. My iration for her faltered when she suggested that Niles Valentine's wife, Matilda Nti, may be using him for money. I was even more angered when she compared Niles to a dog, describing him as "a little bit, kind of like a dog. Like a chihuahua." I thought defending Tigerlily's actions would be impossible when she made negative comments about Vanja Grbic on social media, insinuating she was masculine.

Tigerlily Didn't Allow Vanja To Paint A Misleading Picture
Although Tigerlily's criticism of her co-stars may have been excessive, I don't think she deserves the villainous reputation often given to her.
She was simply defending her husband against Niles, who started the conflict. I noticed that Niles came to Tell All with a chip on his shoulder, being combative and disrespectful with his maniacal laugh. Tigerlily may have just been responding to Niles in the same way he was treating Adnan. In my opinion, Tigerlily's comparing Niles to a dog wasn't meant as an insult but more as a commentary on his all-talk and no-action attitude.
I noticed that Tigerlily didn't confront Faith Tudoc, Loren Allen, and some other cast because they didn't disrespect her or her husband.
She had to retaliate when Niles and Vanja disrespected Adnan. Vanja thinks that Tigerlily is a smart and successful woman, so why did she feel the need to defend her? I think Vanja unfairly portrayed Tigerlily as a powerless woman who lacked control of her life. I appreciate Vanja's for gender equality, but there was no need to depict Tigerlily as a woman who is controlled by her husband when she says she's happily married.

Tigerlily Is Intelligent & Certainly Not Helpless
Despite Tigerlily's baby voice, I don't think she's easily susceptible to oppression. As a self-proclaimed multi-millionaire and successful businessman, it's unlikely for her to be manipulated by others. In fact, she ended her marriage to her ex-husband because he was trying to exert control over her.
90 Day Fiancé: Signs Tigerlily Taylor & Adnan's Life Isn't So Perfect Anymore (Money Problems & Control Issues Are Red Flags)
Tigerlily Taylor and Adnan Abdelfattah tied the knot on the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off, but it appears they may be facing financial difficulties now.
I believe that Tigerlily stood up for Adnan out of genuine love and iration for him. While their love may be complex and not entirely unconditional, Tigerlily isn't a damsel in distress. The 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star simply allows Adnan to believe that he is in charge.
90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
