90 Day Fiance: What Is Niles’ Condition?
Niles appeared on the show with a heartbreaking background. The 90 Day Fiance star is on the autism spectrum, which gave him a difficult childhood. He couldn’t make friends in school, and it also affected him physically. However, he fought through his condition as he got older.
Niles worked as a peer advocate and did deliveries for extra income. His life changed when he met Matilda. He proposed to her online and was hoping for things to get much better between them when he flew to Ghana to be with her for the first time. However, it seems he got overwhelmed and began to make excuses ahead of their wedding.
90 Day Fiance Fans Call Out Niles For Being A Gaslighter?
Some Reddit users are calling out Niles after he was cornered by Matilda on the latest episode of 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days. Niles kept insisting that his plan in Ghana was not to marry Matilda. Instead, he only wanted to know her first while also discussing their future marriage.
Matilda told him that he never spoke about not wanting to get married on his first trip to her home country, but Niles kept making excuses, and many Redditors are upset about how he’s gaslighting Matilda into thinking that he doesn’t really want to get married yet.
- “I’m glad the producer called him out on his actions.”
- “Props to the producer who pointed out the inconsistencies in his argument. He stated himself that he knew she was planning a wedding, and chose not to correct her. Just be honest.”
- “Yeah I really don’t understand why he would do a 180. It’s like his entire personality shifted. Maybe he “switched” as soon as he realized Matilda was reacting negatively, rightfully so, and went into damage mode by lying.”
- “Niles kind of thinks he can just play the autism card and basically be without sin because of it.”
90 Day Fiance: What’s Next For Niles & Matilda?
