'Life After Lockup': Why is Shawn letting Destinie use him? Fans call him 'dumb' after credit card and car theft

Fans stopped feeling sorry for Shawn after he transferred money to Destinie instead of confronting her

If you ever need an example of a toxic relationship, look no further than Shawn and Destinie from 'Life After Lockup'. Destinie, who is out on parole, caught the eye of Shawn, a resident of Nevada, Las Vegas. Shawn is so smitten by Destinie that he has made some rather questionable decisions to help and support her. For the longest time fans felt sorry for Shawn watching him get exploited by Destinie, who seems to be more interested in her boyfriend's bank balance than their relationship.

Although Destinie isn't invested enough in their relationship, for Shawn she is the perfect woman for him. He was so keen on making her a part of his life that he not only forced her into meeting his six children but also his former partner, Kelly. Destinie was obviously not keen on meeting any of them and was upset over the fact that he was still on good terms with his previous partner.

So, one fine day she left Shawn's house without telling him, she just took away his credit card, his car, and all her stuff, and left. When he discovered that she was gone, he tried reaching out to her because he was worried. He was concerned for her safety and well-being and was nervous that she might not attend her court hearing, which would eventually lead her back to prison. So Shawn kept calling her non-stop and texting her all day. But she didn't respond to it. When she eventually did reach out to him, it was to ask him for money.

Instead of confronting her for walking out on him with his belongings, he expressed his love to her and transferred the money she requested to her bank account. When fans saw that Shawn wasn't reporting the theft of his car or credit card, but was instead professing his love to the person behind it, they began slamming him. A fan tweeted, "Why hasn't he turned off the credit card? Why hasn't he reported his car stolen? And she's demanding he send her money. Shawn has special needs bc what is not clicking? #lifeafterlockup #loveafterlockup." "I'm stuck on the fact that Shawn's dumb ass hasn't canceLled his credit cards yet. I really hope his baby mama has him on child support since he rather spend all his money on Destinie than his SIX KODS (sic). #loveafterlockup #lifeafterlockup," wrote another fan. "When ya gurl moves out, steals ur car and credit card. #loveafterlockup #LifeAfterLockup Shawn: are we still good, do you still love me?" joked a fan.

Fans also began calling Shawn "dumb" and stopped feeling sorry for him. A fan shared, "Shawn so dumb. I don’t even feel sorry for him anymore. #loveafterlockup." "Shawn so damn DUMB! He too busy trying to pull up on Destine. He need to be filling fraud and freeze card, f***ing goofy a** #loveafterlockup," seconded a fan. Another fan wondered, "Shawn is an idiot if he sends her money. When is he going to report the car & credit card stolen? #loveafterlockup."

'Life After Lockup' airs on Fridays at 9/8c on WEtv.
