A lot of 90 Day Fiance stars get criticism. Some of them get exactly what they need to hear. Others just get trolled.
But we can't think of any of the stars who have been mom-shamed just for living their lives as much as Nicole Nafziger.
(And she's not even on the show anymore!)
Her two-week vacation to Morocco has now stretched out to a stay of nearly five months, due to forces beyond Nicole's control.
But now, she's actually talking about her plans to return, even setting up a timeframe for it.
Will a return home to her daughter silence her mom-shamers, or just force them to change tactics?
1. This is exciting!
For the first time since heading to Morocco, Nicole is talking not just about an eventual return home, but WHEN she will do it. Though, as we will explain, it may not be up to her in the end.
2. For context ...
Early this year, Nicole spent weeks building up hype as she announced a "big trip." Some fans figured that she just meant a trip to (very nearby) Disney World. It was only when Nicole flashed Moroccan currency that followers realized that she was not only going to see Azan, but going to Morocco to meet him.
3. Nicole had to leave her job
Nicole is a proud member of her local Starbucks team, but for a two week vacation, she had to step back from the job. At the time, no one knew how long she would be gone from Starbucks or from America ... least of all Nicole.
4. In early March, Nicole headed out
She drove to the airport with her mother, Robbalee, who would drive the car back.
5. This time, May didn't tag along
Instead, May would stay with her grandmother for the two-week vacation, like so many children lucky enough to have happy and loving relationships with their grandparents get to do.
6. It was a different time
Not only were airports still operating almost like normal, but Nicole didn't see anyone wearing masks. March of 2020 seemed to last for about a decade as the COVID-19 pandemic hit home, and remembering that this was just under 5 months ago is jarring.
