“Not My Problem”: 90 Day Fiancé Star Adnan Denies Causing Drama at Tell All Finale

NYC Desk: The 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 7 Tell All Finale aired on February 2, 2025, on TLC, bringing together the cast for a final explosive reunion. Among them were Adnan from Jordan and Tigerlily from Texas, whose whirlwind romance led to marriage and a pregnancy announcement.

During the highly anticipated Tell All, Adnan, 23, addressed the ongoing drama surrounding him, firmly stating, “I didn’t cause the drama.” He insisted that he was merely speaking his truth and that others couldn’t handle it. “That’s not my problem,” he added, making it clear that any backlash against him wasn’t his responsibility. He also warned that those who attempted to attack him would not fare well.

The Tell All featured several cast members in person, including Adnan, Tigerlily, Loren, Brian, Niles, Joe, and Vanja, while others—Magda, Sunny, Veah, Matilda, Ingrid, Božo, and Josko—joined virtually. After wrapping up the intense discussions, the cast bid their farewells, with Tigerlily noting it had been a “long day.” When she asked Adnan if he was hungry, he declined, but she admitted she was “starving.”

Throughout Season 7, fans followed Tigerlily and Adnan’s journey, from their initial meeting to their marriage and the cultural challenges they faced. Their relationship progressed rapidly, with Tigerlily flying to Jordan to marry Adnan just four months after they began talking. Despite warnings from friends about potential cultural differences due to Adnan’s Muslim faith, Tigerlily was determined to take the leap.

Their journey wasn’t without its challenges, including financial disagreements, a postnuptial agreement, and Adnan handing over his power of attorney to his brother. However, despite these hurdles, the couple remains together and continues to navigate their relationship.

All episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 7, including the Tell All finale, are now available for streaming on TLC.

What is Stockholm syndrome in real life ?

Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological response in which hostages or victims develop feelings of attachment, sympathy, or even loyalty toward their captors. This phenomenon occurs when a person is subjected to prolonged captivity or abuse and begins to identify with the perpetrator as a survival mechanism. In real-life cases, victims may defend their captors, resist rescue efforts, or refuse to testify against them, despite the harm inflicted.

Stockholm Syndrome is not an officially recognized mental disorder, but it has been observed in various hostage situations, abusive relationships, and human trafficking cases.

In real-life examples, Stockholm Syndrome has been documented in high-profile cases such as the 1973 Norrmalmstorg robbery in Sweden, from which the term originated. During this bank heist, hostages bonded with their captors and even defended them after their release. Another infamous case is that of Patty Hearst, the American heiress kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army in 1974, who later participated in crimes with her abductors.

Victims experiencing Stockholm Syndrome often develop emotional dependency on their captors due to isolation, fear, and psychological manipulation.

 

Stockholm syndrome in relationships

 

Stockholm Syndrome in relationships occurs when a victim of emotional, physical, or psychological abuse develops a deep attachment to their abuser. This bond often forms as a survival mechanism, where the victim rationalizes or even defends the abusive behavior to cope with their situation. Over time, they may come to believe that the abuser loves them, that the abuse is their fault, or that leaving is impossible. This type of trauma bonding is common in toxic relationships, domestic violence situations, and even cases of manipulation and coercive control.

In abusive relationships, the victim may justify their partner’s actions, minimize the harm done, or feel an intense emotional dependency that makes breaking free extremely difficult. The abuser often reinforces this by alternating between cruelty and affection, creating a cycle where the victim clings to moments of kindness and hopes for change. Gaslighting, isolation from friends and family, and financial dependence can further trap the victim, making them feel powerless to escape. Despite the suffering, the victim may resist help, defend the abuser, or believe that they cannot survive without them.

Breaking free from Stockholm Syndrome in relationships requires awareness, support, and professional intervention. Therapy, counseling, and strong social connections can help victims recognize the unhealthy dynamics and rebuild their self-worth. Many survivors struggle with guilt, fear, and emotional withdrawal after leaving the relationship, highlighting the psychological grip Stockholm Syndrome can have. Recognizing the signs early and seeking help from trusted friends, family, or support organizations can be crucial in escaping the cycle of abuse and regaining independence.

Stockholm Syndrome movies .

 

Several movies have explored Stockholm Syndrome, portraying it in different contexts. Beauty and the Beast (1991) is often cited as a fictional example, as Belle gradually grows attached to the Beast despite her initial captivity. Room (2015), based on real-life kidnapping cases, shows a woman who, despite being held captive for years, struggles with complex emotions toward her abuser. V for Vendetta (2005) also touches on the theme when Evey Hammond begins to sympathize with V after he subjects her to a harsh form of conditioning.

These films highlight the psychological complexities of Stockholm Syndrome, showcasing how extreme circumstances can alter a victim’s perception of their captor.
