OMAHA, NEBRASKA: '90 Day Fiance' star David Dangerfield recently left fans feeling uneasy as he launched a GoFundMe campaign with an ambitious target of $150,000 to snag his dream home. The reality star has since been slammed for his perceived sense of 'entitlement'.

Fans erupted in anger, accusing David of crossing a line by asking for money to fund his dream house. Despite the criticism, some had already donated, while others vehemently expressed disapproval of his financial appeal.

In his plea, David emphasized that the fundraising was for his fiance and her son, aiming to build their dream home. However, the statement that struck a nerve was his admission that he couldn't manage mortgage payments despite juggling two jobs.

This fueled fans' fury, prompting them to question whether TLC's compensation was insufficient.

"His girl needs to get a job. End of story," commented a user on Instagram

"Kinda sad he's working 2 jobs and still needs money, he stocks shelves and cleans a casino floor and machines. If our world was more accessible for deaf individuals I bet he would of been able to get a better paying job and support himself," added a user. 

"He needs to tell his fiancé it's time for a job...Covid is no longer an excuse," added another. 

"Them TLC checks aint paying good. One of yall need to act crazy so they could give u a raise. Aka keep u on the show," said one. 

"No! This is NOT the platform to beg for money," someone else pointed out. 

"People are struggling right now. Why should David get a free ride from USA. Rent an apartment or cooperative apartment," said another. 

Despite his disability, David had been in a persistent search of love, until he finally found Sheila.
