‘90 Day Fiancé’: Did Natalie Mordovtseva admit she provokes Mike Youngquist? Her ‘low-class’ remark irks fans

Natalie claims that Mike doesn't respect her, but fans were quick to point out that it's the other way around

The fact that Mike Youngquist and Natalie Mordovtseva are still together honestly baffles all '90 Day Fiancé' fans. It's uncomfortable to watch their dead relationship dragged out, but the drama does make for great reality TV. Since the start of this season, Youngquist seems to have tapped out of their relationship, after Natalie returned his ring and didn't respond when asked if she loves him.

Mordovtseva defended her behavior, saying it was because they were fighting, so she was unable to say she loved him as she was upset. But for Youngquist, one fight doesn't dictate a person's entire feelings. The tension since then has just kept mounting up, with Mordovtseva finding fault in everything Youngquist does. So far, we've heard her complain about his house, his drinking habits and his weight repeatedly.

This episode was no different. When Youngquist suggested they make stir-fry for dinner, Mordovtseva got passive-aggressive again, ridiculing him about his weight and how he will never lose any of it. Although she claims it comes from a good place -- she wants her man to be fit and healthy, her tone is far from it -- it's easy to see that Youngquist has had enough. After he tries to explain to her that stir-fry isn't fried at all and seeing that she won't listen to reason, he suggests cooking the meal with water, which has her thrilled. Mordovtseva tries to get him to hi-five her, but he is no mood for affection. The fact that he grabs a beer pisses her off too, seeing that later in the episode she accuses him of being drunk, although on camera, he's only had a single beer. When asked by the producers if she provokes him on purpose, Mordovtseva admits to it, saying he doesn't understand how she feels and doesn't respect her, trying to justify her actions.

In an argument that was building up, she asked Youngquist about his IQ, stating that at 110, hers is quite high. She goes on to talk about how not visiting museums and such is what makes Youngquist 'low-class' and when he asks her what class she thinks she belongs to, she retaliates by saying that she's now low-class too because she is here with him. Mordovtseva also attacked Youngquist's ex-wife, saying they both belong to the same class, implying that she was above them. Fans were absolutely pissed by her behavior and took to Twitter to call her out.

"Natalie is the one disrespecting Mike. I just don’t get it why she keeps blaming Mike. She belittles him not only by saying he is low class, but his clothes smell bad. Seriously she needs to go back to Russia." Said a fan, pointing out that Mordovtseva is the disrespectful one. "The ‘Low’ class. Like she and the rest of these idiots ain’t it all together. Sit down lady Einstein. With your IQ 0 #90DayFiance" said another, coming to Youngquist's defence. "I have never heard anyone brag about an IQ so low before!! If she is so smart can she hear the sound of the plane coming....." said another, implying that Mordovtseva should just start packing.

"I’m no fan of Mike, but he needs to get her on a jet back to Ukraine. And break out the whiskey. It helps with the I.Q. #90DayFiance" tweeted another, in agreement. "Natalie is so arrogant it’s disgusting, how dare she look down on Mike like that. What makes her think she’s so much better than him? Is she gonna act like this every time he doesn’t follow her rules? #90DayFiance" tweeted a fan, talking about just how rude she was being. "I have never seen two people with so much disdain for each other as Mike and Natalie have #90dayfiance" tweeted another, summing up how we feel about this couple.

With Youngquist still refusing to give Mordovtseva the ring back, the next episode sees her trying to rope his mother in to help. But Youngquist's mother is aware of the couple fight in Ukraine, so Mordovtseva might just be on the receiving end of a mother's wrath, or not. However, '90 Day' moms are anything but chill when it comes to their sons. Looks like we have to wait and see!
