90 Day Fiancé season 9 has only aired two episodes, but many viewers already like Shaeeda Sween much more than her partner Bilal Hazziez. Bilal is coming under fire for a controversial “joke” or test he played on Shaeeda, a 37-year-old woman from Trinidad and Tobago. This has caused many 90 Day Fiancé viewers to blast Bilal for his deceptive behavior while they sympathetically side with Shaeeda and praise her favorable personality.
Bilal is a 42-year-old divorced father of two who overcame a humble childhood to successfully buy and sell homes. Though Bilal is married to his partner Shaeeda under a religious ceremony, he decided to test her upon her arrival in the US. Bilal picked Shaeeda up in a van and took her to his run-down childhood home, which he presented as his own even though the building was falling apart. Despite Bilal wanting to see if Shaeeda liked him for who he is and not what he has, Shaeeda was alarmed that Bilal spent money on his clothing but not on his home.
Reddit user Affectionate-Alps-86 praised 90 Day Fiancé newcomer Shaeeda for her remark about Bilal presenting a dirty van as his car. “This place looking like Sanford and Son,” Shaeeda said in reference to a sitcom from the 70s. Many commenters appreciated Shaeeda’s reference and were sympathetic to her being unpleasantly surprised by what Bilal presented to her. While Bilal suspects Shaeeda might be a gold digger, many viewers believe that she is simply concerned that Bilal projects an image of wealth online, yet he brought her to a home that was falling apart. “It’s one thing to show up in the van, leaving it a mess has nothing to do with money,” one top commenter wrote.
Many commenters agreed that Bilal took his 90 Day Fiancé joke way too far and showed Shaeeda a life that was not merely modest but unkempt. “So, this jerk is testing to see if she is a gold digger, and she is looking at him as another American, living like this,” one commenter wrote. While many viewers are skeptical of Bilal, they are looking forward to seeing more of Shaeeda. “One thing about trinidadians they always crack the funniest jokes. I’m looking forward to seeing her,” one commenter wrote. “That had me cackling, cause it's so true! She's very witty,” another user wrote in regards to Shaeeda's joke. Many commenters added that Shaeeda appeared more concerned about cleanliness than she was focused on wealth or material items.
While Bilal might be trying to test his 90 Day Fiancé partner Shaeeda, the yoga fanatic already won many viewers over. Even though Shaeeda has only appeared, in person, for one episode of season 9, she is already earning early praise from viewers for her personality and how she carries herself. While Bilal has plenty of opportunities to redeem himself to viewers, many are finding it difficult to move past the cruel joke he played on his wife. Shaeeda is already married to Bilal within their religion, and many 90 Day Fiancé season 9 viewers believe she deserves far more respect from her partner.
