After watching Alina give yet another chance to Steven Johnston, many 90 Day Fiancé viewers have lost sympathy for her. Many fans have been rooting for Alina since the time she first debuted on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 3. The beautiful 20-year-old Russian earned many fans' appreciation when she handled Steven's hypocrisy like a boss. She slammed her beau for asking her to practice chastity while he made out with over 100 girls. After seeing so many red flags in Steven and Alina's relationship, many 90 Day Fiancé fans were convinced that the couple would soon break up.
But the Russian beauty shocked the viewers by accepting Steven's manipulative gifts and proposal. She seemed eager to get married to her man, even though he was unfaithful to her and kept talking to other girls via social media. It was difficult for viewers to watch Alina sabotage herself by forgiving Steven repeatedly. During the 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Tell-All, Steven admitted to talking to nine different girls on social media. His ex-girlfriend, Vanessa, also warned Alina about his toxic behavior. But the newest TLC star ignored her well-wishers' concerns and gave Steven another chance.
Since Alina isn't ready to dump Steven and keeps giving him chances, many 90 Day Fiancé viewers have lost sympathy for her. A fan said (via Shine699 on Reddit), "I think she know exactly what she's doing." The fan believes that Alina is after "fame and money," and she thinks that being with Steven for social media clout is worth it. The fan didn't like that Alina completely disregarded Vanessa's advice during the Tell-All and kept supporting Steven. Other fans agreed with the OP's opinions that Alina wants to milk her newfound fame, gain followers and have an influencer lifestyle. A fan commented, "My opinion of her changed when she posted a story asking what type of content people want to see from her."
A different fan wrote, "She practically rolled her eyes when Vanessa was trying to warn her." A few fans also think that Alina didn't leave Steven because she is hoping to get cast for another season of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. Alina's actions do suggest that she is now willfully ignoring the advice and evidence shared by other girls. She wants to be with Steven because that's how she could get fame and money.
When Alina was first featured on the show, many fans thought she was naive to be in a relationship with Steven. A few fans also felt that she might be struggling financially or have family problems; that's why she was willing to marry Steven. However, many fans have now stopped empathizing with her. She recently tried to profit from her reality TV fame and asked fans for donations for her higher studies. At this point, 90 Day Fiancé viewers seem to be missing sincere cast members like Rose Vega, who was ready to give up fame rather than settle for less than they deserve.
