Loren Allen Sparks Controversy with Comments on Autism on 90 Day Fiancé
Loren Allen from 90 Day Fiancé has once again stirred up anger among fans, this time for making insensitive remarks about special needs. Viewers were particularly upset given that one of his co-stars, Nile, has autism. Read on to find out more about the situation.
Loren’s Tumultuous Relationship with Faith Gatoc Tulod
Loren’s relationship with Faith Gatoc Tulod has been rocky. He recently admitted to having gonorrhea, a revelation that stemmed from his infidelity prior to visiting Faith. This news was particularly hurtful for Faith, who had remained faithful to him despite their long-distance relationship. Loren justified his actions by saying that since they hadn’t yet met in person, he didn’t see the point in being loyal.
Fans Outraged Over Mockery of Autism
The latest controversy erupted when Loren made remarks that many fans interpreted as a mockery of autism. During a conversation, he stated, “Niles gets to be autistic; wouldn’t I be split personality boy?” When a fellow cast member pointed out that autism is not a choice, Loren responded with, “No! Because he could say he isn’t, and then they would be like ‘But you are.’”
He continued, implying that he could simply choose not to be autistic for the sake of being on television: “Yeah, diagnosed autistic for my whole life, but I haven’t been to therapy since I left school, so like it doesn’t really carry over.”
Viewer Backlash
Fans were quick to express their outrage, feeling that Loren’s comments trivialized the experiences of those with autism. Many felt particularly sympathetic towards Nile, who was being discussed in an insensitive manner. Loren’s remarks have further cemented his reputation as one of the least-liked figures in the franchise, and viewers are voicing their discontent louder than ever.
As the backlash continues, it’s clear that Loren’s comments have struck a nerve with fans who advocate for a greater understanding and respect for individuals with special needs.
