Nicole Nafziger gets trolled left and right by 90 Day Fiance fans, unfortunately.
Sometimes she is judged for her engagement to Azan.
Other times, she's mom-shamed for everything under the sun.
Now, fans are accusing her of "leaving" her daughter, as if she had just abandoned her 6-year-old.
That's not what happened.
But in her replies, Nicole is being nicer than she needs to -- and also revealing what she would have done differently if she had known when the COVID-19 pandemic would hit.
It's not a perfect answer, but it's an honest one.
1. Nicole is a devoted mom
She is not single -- since she is engaged to Azan Tefou (whose real name is Hassan M'Raouni), but she is effectively a "single" parent to May since she and Azan have a long-distance relationship.
2. Reunited!
Nicole left in March for a two-week vacation, with May in the loving care of her grandmother, Robbalee. Then the pandemic hit and Morocco shut down. Amidst the chaos and fear brought on by this deadly virus, Nicole was not able to return until early August -- a full five months later. Now, she and May are together (and COVID-free!).
3. Now, haters are coming out of the woodwork
They can no longer whine about Nicole being away from May and they can no longer spin absurd conspiracy theories that Nicole isn't really in Morocco, either. So they've changed tactics.
4. One mom-shamer hopes she never "leaves" May again
"I never left her," Nicole clarifies, with a heart emoji -- a soft gesture but also an unspoken plea for strangers to be nice to her. A plea that fell on deaf ears with this troll.
5. And if she had KNOWN what would happen
While the wiser answer would have been "I'd have literally scheduled the vacation for February and kept it to two weeks," Nicole affirms that she wanted to be with her daughter no matter what. But, as she points out, there's no winning with trolls. They'd hate her for a two-week vacation, they'd hate her for a 5 month one, they'd hate her if she brought May on either. That's because this mom-shaming isn't really about Nicole's actions, it's about who the trolls are as people.
6. Is she delusional
No, Nicole says, and she points out that fans have had very few glimpses into her life and relationship with Azan. Just because they don't see him gush over her doesn't mean that he doesn't, right?
