The current season 8 of 90 Day Fiancé features Stephanie Davison, owner of a small medical spa chain in Michigan (via In Touch Weekly). At 52, she's nearly twice as old as her boyfriend, Belize native Ryan Carr. Their storyline has been filled with drama from the start, but things took a much more serious turn in a recent episode. After being separated for ten months, Stephanie visited Ryan in Belize, but their romantic reunion soon fell apart. He "stealthed" her by not using a condom during sex, and she retaliated by breaking up with him and reaching out to his cousin Harris.
Concerned viewers noted on social media that on-screen, Stephanie seemed to be under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or possibly both. They noted her dazed appearance, her slurred words, and the fact that she called Harris "Ryan" on several occasions. They criticized the producers for filming her in such a vulnerable state. The Hollywood Gossip quoted a fan who posted, "She needs an intervention, not a spot on a TLC dating show." Other commenters accused the show of valuing ratings over their casts' well-being.
Fans will have to keep tuning in to see what happens, but in the meantime, Stephanie appears to be doing well — and, perhaps, addressing the rumors that she has a substance abuse problem. Her most recent Instagram post is captioned, "I don't care...I really don't!" The photo shows her flipping the bird to an unnamed target.
