I'll Admit It... I Don't Get Why Sarper Güven Is Suddenly A Fan-Favorite (Did 90 Day Fiancé Fans Forget He's A Bad Boy?)

Sarper Güven is suddenly a fan-favorite cast member on 90 Day Fiancé season 11, and this really puzzles me as a viewer.Shekinah Garner from Los Angeles and Sarper met in Turkey, where she was vacationing with a friend. Shekinah fell head over heels for the model, actor, and personal trainer Sarper. She decided to move to Turkey, even though Shekinah returned every other week to spend time with her daughter. The decision took a toll on Sarper and Shekinah’s relationship, exposing the cracks that confirmed they shouldn’t have been together in the first place.

However, in the past few months, the fandom of Sarper has grown. Sarper is being praised for being a 90 Day Fiancé partner who is genuine and cares for his partner. Sarper is liked by fans as he has never cheated on Shekinah and has them convinced that he might love Shekinah as much as he loves himself. Sarper now has more green flags than red in his repertoire, which makes me question if we’re even talking about the same person.

Sarper Was Extremely Controlling Of Shekinah

Sarper Has A Sketchy Past Too

About a month before she moved to Turkey, Sarper told Shekinah that he had slept with over 2,500 women. I found it funny that she thought it was a typo, because while 250 was still a lot for her, she was okay with letting it slide. However, Sarper responded by saying it was between 2500 and 3000. He admitted that he used to have sex with “four-and-a-half women a day,” but said Shekinah is all he thinks about now. Shekinah was nothing if not dedicated to trying to make her relationship with Sarper work. However, I despised how Sarper exhibited controlling behavior towards Shekinah.

On 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, Sarper was in control of Shekinah Garner's fitness and dressing sense as soon as she landed in Turkey. To me, it became evident that Sarper didn’t like it when his fiancé was speaking up for herself. He didn’t obey her and even refused to make their relationship Instagram official. In his People interview, Sarper admitted that if he were in Shekinah’s shoes, he wouldn’t easily trust a man with his past either. However, somehow, viewers seem to have forgotten everything Sarper did in his previous spin-offs.

During an episode of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 6, Shekinah claimed Sarper had ripped out her hair extensions during a supposedly physical altercation. They had been fighting over Shekinah, fearing that her family wouldn’t approve of Sarper. Shekinah had informed Sarper that her mother and sisters weren’t talking to her because of their relationship. According to Shekinah, Sarper pulled out her hair extensions during a physical altercation that was not captured on camera. However, Sarper claimed that he was simply trying to take her phone, and one of her hair extensions came out as he grabbed it.

Shekinah's sister, Shariyah, had traveled to Turkey to meet Sarper. I was shocked when he started calling Shekinah "bi***" in front of her. He left a very bad impression on Shariyah when he not only hurled several insults at her sister but also dubbed himself an alpha male. Shariyah had also noticed how controlling Sarper was of her sister when Shekinah mentioned the empty alcohol bottles in his apartment with memories of his past escapades attached to him, and the 90 Day Fiancé star fired back by stating he didn’t like being told what to do.

90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
