On a new episode of Radio Andy’s “Reality Checked” hosted by Dorinda Medley and Kiki Monique, “90 Day Fiancé” stars Sarper and Shekinah revealed what their relationship looked like at the time the Season 11 tell-all episode was filmed.
“We got into a fight,” Shekinah said. “We actually — before leaving LA, I even messaged producers. I said, ‘I don’t want to be on the same flight as him. I don’t want to stay in the same hotel. I’m not arriving with him. I don’t want to sit on the couch with him at the tell-all.'”
She explained that the producers talked her off the ledge a little bit. “They were like, ‘Okay, couch, same couch, can we please do that? Separate hotel rooms, that’s fine. You got to be on the same flight, we can change where you’re sitting,'” she continued. “But, yeah, we were going through a really rough patch, and in the beginning of our marriage, it seemed like one rough patch after another. And there were a few times Sarper moved out of the house.”
“She kicked me out of the house, better to say,” Sarper added.
“Yeah, so one of them I did tell him to leave,” Shekinah agreed. “But yeah, I mean during the tell-all, we were hitting a rough patch at that time, and it was really — it was hard to go through that rough experience separately, especially at the beginning of it, because you’re meeting all this conflict and adversity from other couples, and to not be a united front. Meeting that together just made it worse.”
