On 90 Day Fiancé Season 11, Mahdi and Stevi's tensions are growing, and their most recent on-screen exchange has drawn a lot of criticism. Deeper compatibility problems are now plaguing the pair, who already have quite diverse cultural backgrounds, particularly with regard to personal values and artistic expression. A relationship filled with unpleasant misunderstandings and judgment has swiftly developed from what began as a quirky and promising match.

Things changed during Mahdi's visit to Stevi's house in the latest episode, and her negative reaction to her artwork. Stevi is a well-known painter who has always been open and honest about her love for painting naked portraits. Viewers were offended by Mahdi's uneasiness throughout the visit, particularly given the subject matter of her paintings. Fans criticized him online for his inability to embrace her work and his remarks about her hobbies.

The future of Mahdi and Stevi's relationship is currently being questioned by many. Despite Stevi's constant candor and transparency, Mahdi's responses point to a widening gap. Fans have flooded social media with mixed reactions. While some are in support of Stevi for questioning Mahdi’s s*uality, others thought he was overreacting.

An admirer of 90 Day Fiancé posted on X,

“The way mahdi is over Stevi if she is or is not bis*xual gives me the ick.. that would be enough for me to call off the wedding… he’s oddly obsessed #90DayFiance”

Another fan shared,

“With all due respecto: STFU already, Mahdi. #90DayFiance”
“Mahdi, I hate to tell you this, but there are men who have painted other men, and guess what ....... they aren't/weren't gay. Just stop with all of this. #90DayFiance,” another tweet read.

Other admirers of 90 Day Fiancé questioned Stevie for not answering Mahdi’s questions clearly.

A netizen commented on X,

“Stevi is definitely giving bisexual vibes with her vague and unclear answers to Mahdi every single week. Like how’s she the older one in the relationship? Just come CLEAN! Instead of dragging this man along or forcing something that wouldn’t otherwise be. I can’t #90dayfiance”
“Stevi!! Ur gettin an attitude 4 Mahdi keep askin u about ur s*xuality, if you just ANSWERED HIM, maybe he wouldn't keep askin, wow, what a concept! Quit gettin an attitude when he asks bc its a fair question. #90DayFiance Evrythng ur doin is wrong, insulting even.” an X user posted.
