ISTANBUL, TURKEY: Controversy hit '90 Day Fiance' star Sarper Guven when accusations of starving his girlfriend, Shekinah Garner, surfaced online.

The internet didn't hold back, labeling the couple as extremely toxic.

Sarper came under scrutiny for allegedly closely monitoring and trolling Shekinah's behavior, leading to him being labeled as a toxic partner.

Viewers expressing concern for the show voiced their opinions, with many suggesting that Shekinah should contemplate ending the relationship.

The prevailing view among viewers was that it might be opportune for Shekinah to acknowledge that the pairing might not be a healthy match, with some even recommending an early departure from the show.

"They should be dropped from 90 day for their abusive and unhealthy relationship," a user said on Instagram

"This girl has no self-esteem she's been oppressed her entire life and has no idea how to love herself let alone anyone else.

It's sad, hopefully, her children have other people around them to learn what a healthy relationship is so they can break the cycle," one user quipped. 

"Their storyline is actually really uncomfortable to watch," wrote one user. 

"But it's ok because she likes being submissive they are perfect," said another. 

"Kinda looks like the same dude. BUT I don't think he's 'forcing' her when she admitted she likes being bossed around," commented one user. 

"She looks horrible, omg what is she allowing him to do to her," commented another user. 

"They both need help especially him so," added one. 

"She so desperately needs help because she thinks that that relationship is good and toxic! Is she for real? How he speaks to her it's OK it's because he loves her," added another. 

How long have been Shekinah and Sarper Guven dating?

After nearly a year together, Shekinah and Sarper chose to take their relationship to the next level by moving in together in Turkey.

Despite acknowledging some challenges in their dynamic, the couple insists they're a perfect match.

In the recent 'Tell All of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way' Season 5, the fresh franchise duo affirmed their unwavering commitment.

This major step came exactly one year into their dating journey, signifying a significant move forward as the aesthetician relocated to Turkey.

Does Shekinah Garner have a daughter?

Before her reality TV debut on '90 Day Fiance: The Other Way' Season 5, 41-year-old Shekinah had a significant chapter in her life with Berto.

Their relationship began when she was 23, lasting for four years, during which they welcomed their daughter.

Despite parting ways, Shekinah, now living in Turkey, is actively involved in her daughter Sofie's life.

At 16, Sofie attends boarding school, and Shekinah, proud of her parenting, highlights that they maintain a strong connection despite the physical distance.

Does Sarper Guven have a ‘secret’ son?

In the latest season of '90 Day Fiance: The Other Way,' star Sarper Guven unfolds a surprising revelation about a hidden aspect of his life.

Keeping his son a mystery throughout the season, Sarper finally discloses that he has a secret son whom he has never met.

Prompted by his cousins' inquiries about having another child, Sarper opens up about the existence of his son, born to a Russian woman he met in 1998.

In a surprising turn of events, an email confirming the pregnancy was deleted. Sarper, now unaware of his son's current age, roughly estimates him to be around 24 or 25 years old.
