’90 Day Fiancé’ Fans Blast Ella For ‘Fetishizing’ Asian Men

90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days cast member Ella made her debut on Sunday night’s episode. She admitted that she couldn’t find love in Idaho. That’s because she’s looking for a specific type of man. Ella is interested in dating an Asian man due to her love for the culture.

However, fans couldn’t help but notice that she fetishizes Asian men. The Midwesterner claims that she can’t find the right man in her local area. Most of her online relationships failed. Ella is holding out hope that Johnny, a 34-year-old man from China, is her dream man.

She already feels that she lucked out with him already. Ella can’t stop gushing about how hot and attractive he is. Johnny gets her engine revving. In fact, the couple even shares intimate moments on video chat. Though Ella just made her debut, she’s already getting backlash from 90 Day Fiance fans.

Ella goes ga-ga for Johnny

She feels that he’s the right guy for her. The TLC star explains that she’s obsessed with Asian culture. She watches a lot of anime and plays around with her samurai sword. Ella opens up about her childhood, which wasn’t as happy and positive. She uses anime and fantasy to escape from her problems.

Ella has struggled with her weight ever since she was a kid. She ended up in relationships with men who were emotionally abusive. But she feels that Johnny is the first man who’s truly loved her and respected her. The two met in an online group for Asian men who love white women — and vice versa.

Ella says she struck the jackpot. She thinks she finally met the man of her dreams. The reality star convinced her mom, Debbie, that only Johnny is looking out for the best in her. She excitedly shares that he wants to help her with her weight struggles. She claims that he can help her since Asian people have healthy diets. Fans can’t help but notice how wrong Ella is when it comes to Asian stereotypes.

90 Day Fiance fans call her out for her Asian fetish

Fans are already not amused with Ella. They think her relationship is doomed to fail especially since it’s based on a fetish. Viewers don’t think Ella is respecting the culture. Rather, she’s fetishizing it.

• “Is that enough to build a relationship?”
• “I didn’t realize Johnny said he’s gonna help her lose weight. He will use her weight against her and treat her bad it will be just like when she was in school.”
• “How does Ella…at her grown age think fetishizing East Asian men and their culture is ok.”
• “Yes Ella he’s ‘the one.’ ‘The one’ that’s going to take you for everything you have.”
• “Ella…listen to Mama…she’s watched this fool hand over $6k to some idiot in Morocco…tryna to over compensate [sic] for ‘fat girl’ syndrome…”

Fans agree that Ella needs therapy, not a new relationship. In another scene, Ella told her friends that she and Johnny have engaged in virtual intimacy over video calls. While they have a great connection, she’s been hurt by her previous relationships. Her ex from Thailand didn’t want anything to do with her, which caused her body image issues.
