90 Day Fiancé star Paola Mayfield often finds herself in the center of controversies. The polarizing season 1 star is now dealing with both devastating news about a family member and troubles in her marriage with husband Russ Mayfield. Paola opened up to her Instagram followers about her recent personal life difficulties.

Colombian bombshell Paola frequently draws criticism for her scantily dressed content, as some feel she behaves inappropriately for a mother. She also receives negative feedback for her controversial political views that involve conspiracy theories and being against vaccination. Recently, Paola has asked fans to pray for her niece. The little girl beat cancer only to be faced with complications from a subsequent surgery. While fans have been supporting Paola and praying for the young girl’s health, others were more skeptical of Paola’s recent rant on Instagram.

It’s has been a really tough week for me. Not just with what happened yesterday,” she said in the March 16 video. “Things in my relationship are not that well, and plus I always get in trouble when I voice my opinion on social media and people get really rude.” She went on to lecture followers against insulting her for expressing her opinions. While the message was positive, many fans felt like it was hypocritical for Paola to preach a message of kindness to her followers.

Some followers feel Paola tramples over her husband and overshadows him in the relationship. 90 Day Fiancé fans will have to stay tuned to see if the season 1 couple can work things out.
