Though season 6 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? has only just begun, Libby and Andrei Castravet have already received plenty of viewer mockery and criticism. In fact, the entire Potthast clan has been put on blast by fans who are sick of seeing the family in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. Viewers recently called the family out for the way they shamelessly mooch off of family patriarch Chuck Potthast.
Though Chuck is considered to be quite wealthy, the Potthast family business has long since raised fan concerns over ethical practices. Some consider Chuck to be a slumlord who engages in shady business. However, that hasn’t stopped his family from requesting funding whenever they need financial assistance. Most recently, Andrei asked his father-in-law for a $100,000 loan to compete with the family’s real estate business despite his lack of experience. Many viewers perceive Chuck to be treated as nothing more than an endless source of money for family members who don’t want to work.
One viewer posted to Reddit to mock the way Chuck is regarded by his family. The user posted a meme that compared the Potthast family to the Trump family, as both groups have a wealthy but controversial male leading the families. “They all worked so hard for their dad’s money!” the user wrote. “Omg they WISH they were the Trumps. This is so accurate,” one popular comment reads. “Family Libby is the cheap knockoff Wish version of The Trumps,” another user wrote back. “They’re like the Bluths from Arrested Development and all the sisters are Lindsay and Charlie is Gob,” another person joked. The overall consensus was that the Potthast family wishes they were reality TV royalty.
Many commenters were quick to mock the family and point out the one member who seemingly wants to distance himself from the group. “Jens husband is NEVER in any family pictures and is never on the show except for the wedding one for like a second. Dude really doesn’t want to be associated with these people,” one commenter noted. It appears that fans aren’t the only ones poking fun at the Potthast family. “LOL! I see it, thanks for the chuckle. David called them the royal family of Tampa sarcastically on Pillow Talk,” another comment reads. “N-E-P-O-T-I-S-M. That’s how they spell ‘hard work,’” another critic chimed in. Libby and her siblings have been slammed for turning to Chuck to fund their lifestyles.
Overall, the Potthast family has been being mocked by franchise fans. Many viewers were humored by how elaborately the family got dressed up for a business meeting at home. Viewers have since speculated that the Potthast family is enamored with the idea of reality TV fame and consider themselves to be the next Kardashian empire. Many viewers hope the family instead gets a reality check. Franchise fans have overall called for a recasting of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? in order to portray new stories with fresher plot lines instead of the same recycled drama.
