There is no doubt that the former 90 Day Fiancé franchise star Karine Staehle loves her sons Pierre and Ethan, but many people think that she needs some parenting tips. The Brazilian beauty first featured on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 1 in August 2017, with her now-husband, Paul Staehle. The Kentucky native Paul traveled to a remote location in Brazil called Tonantins to meet Karine, who's known for her Mona Lisa smile. Paul loved Karine but asked her to take an STD test before they got intimate. This request offended Karine, but she agreed to take the test. Her results were negative, but his request led many viewers to wonder how committed she was to him, as they believed that Paul was questioning her fidelity.
Eventually, the couple got married in Brazil, despite the language barrier. Soon after the wedding, Paul accused Karine of cheating on him with a man named Alex. Karine refuted the cheating allegations, and the duo reconciled. Just a few months later, Paul told 90 Day Fiancé fans that his wife had an affair with another man, Joe. However, Karine denied cheating on her husband. In fact, Joe revealed that he is gay and has been in a relationship with his partner for the last six years. Karine never said she cheated on Paul, and the rumors were a form of character assassination. Perhaps that's why some 90 Day Fiancé viewers are so harsh when they comment on her parenting choices. They seem to assume the worst about Karine.
In April 2021, Karine was shamed for apparently drinking beer while nursing her first son, Pierre. One of Karine's alleged boyfriends claimed that the new mommy used to send him pictures of her drinking alcohol while breastfeeding her baby. Some fans believed these claims because Paul also insisted that his wife used to drink when she was expecting Pierre. Since consuming alcohol while breastfeeding is considered to be harmful, Karine was criticized by 90 Day Fiancé viewers, who speculated that she was prioritizing her own enjoyment over her son's health.
Karine recently had a one-hour-long Instagram Live session with one of her male Brazilian friends. She wore a bralette top and looked cheerful while talking to her friend in Portuguese. A user found the video quite disturbing and concerning because Karine is a mom of two little boys. The user commented, "Not even my teenage kids spend over an hour doing videos, they have more important things to do. She has two small kids, you can heard them in the background, and it's late at night." However, another fan defended Karine by saying, "What's disturbing is you hoping on social media to judge a mother."
Paul and Karine were voted the worst parents in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. While Paul's parenting choices have gotten him dragged because people find him irresponsible, Karine is also getting shade thrown her way. However, the criticism may be unwarranted because she is studying to become a cosmetologist. She is clearly trying to make progress in her life, perhaps for the sake of her kids. Karine often shares her impressive makeup makeovers to show off her new beauty skills. The 90 Day Fiancé alum Karine may have been mom-shamed a couple of times in the past, but her Instagram bio says that she is proud to be a "mom of boys."
