“I have no respect" — 90 Day Fiancé fans call out Jessica for ignoring Juan’s native tongue

In the latest episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, Juan David Daza was frank about his growing fears over the communication problems between his Colombian family and his American bride, Jessica Parsons. As he does contract work for cruise ships and is often gone for long stints of time, Juan told Jessica that it was very important for him to learn Spanish so that he could communicate with his family in Colombia and form a stronger bond with his son. He said that he wants to merge both parts of his life, and that is why he has made this request.

Jessica wasn't open to the notion, though. She acknowledged that she lacked the means and skills necessary to learn Spanish and that she had no one to assist her in practicing the language. Additionally, Jessica appeared to brush off Juan's worries, implying that she didn't see the need or urgency of learning a new language, even if it meant strengthening her relationship with her stepson. Juan was dissatisfied at the end of the session because he had anticipated she would be more open to understanding and embracing his culture.

Jessica's resistance prompted a swift response from viewers, many of whom criticized her lack of effort. While some said she could make some efforts, others questioned whether her actions were intended to distance Juan from his family instead of helping him.

An admirer of 90 Day Fiancé posted,

"Jessica and Juan. Juan, let's be real. Jessica is not trying to learn anything about you. Your culture, your language, nothing. She doesn't think your son will need it, which is clueless on her part. I have no respect for Jessica. She doesn't see the big picture. #90DayFiance"

Another fan shared on social media,

"jessica being so dismissive of juan’s VERY VALID request to keep his culture alive for his child is beyond b*tchy & i wish he would just leave her. #90DayFiance"

"For someone who demands so much from Juan, the least Jessica could do was to learn how to say "welcome" for crying out loud! #90DayFiance," a tweet read.

"Jessica full of excuses. Turn a lesson on while in the car. Instead of telling the meddling best friend all her business, she could be doing a lesson #90DayFiance," another 90 Day Fiancé viewer called out.

Juan urges Jessica to learn Spanish for his son in 90 Day Fiancé Season 11 Episode 16

Juan made a significant request in 90 Day Fiancé Season 11 Episode 16: he urged Jessica to learn Spanish so his son may maintain ties to his culture. Juan was worried that the language barrier would cause a rift between Jessica and his child as he was getting ready to leave for work.

But Jessica sounded apprehensive, claiming that she had no one to guide her in her education. She didn't commit to learning the language, even though Juan made an emotional appeal. As they manage life as a blended family, the discussion brought to light fundamental problems with parenting, communication, and cultural integration.
