An old childhood photo of Veah Netherton from 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days recently surfaced online. The picture allegedly revealed why she disagreed with embracing her boyfriend Sunny Mahdi’s religion. Veah is a 27-year-old from Florida. She started her reality TV journey with the 90 Day Fiance spin-off in Season 7 alongside Sunny from Durham.
Veah connected with Sunny on a dating app. They had been in a long-distance relationship for one year before she landed in South Africa to meet him. Once, she spoke about her parents and past on the show. She said that both of her parents were drug addicts, making her jump from one foster home to the other. What are fans saying about Veah’s viral photo?
90 Day Fiance: Veah Gets A Surprising Proposal From Sunny!
Reality TV star Sunny Mahdi continuously pressured Veah Netherton to convert to Islam if she wanted to be his wife. He almost mirrored his father’s expectations for marrying his girlfriend. He even showed his double standards by engaging in actions that were considered wrong in his religion, like premarital sex and drinking.
Sunny’s father disapproved of Veah’s tattoos and asked her to remove them. However, she was very particular about her tattoos because they honored her late brother. She politely refused to convert since she was firm in her beliefs. During an episode, Sunny ultimately proposed to Veah and respected her decision not to accept Islam. But in a confessional, Sunny admitted that he compromised by choosing Veah.
90 Day Fiance: Veah’s Past Life Has Left A Permanent Scar On Her!
TLC personality Veah Netherton received poor treatment from her foster homes. Her experience in those places left lasting scars on her mind. Because of this, her relationship with Sunny was affected. A Reddit user posted Veah’s throwback childhood photo to ask whether her adoptive parents belonged to “a certain religion.”
The person added that it was their first time seeing someone wearing the type of clothes Veah wore in the picture. At first, the photo seemed like a school picture, but it’s actually a family one. A fan commented on the thread, saying they remembered Veah mentioning she was a Pentecostal. Another fan shared that the dress didn’t appear Pentecostal and looked more like Mennonite attire.
Pentecostal and Mennonite are both extreme forms of Christian groups with conservative rules. Veah grew up in a tough situation. Once, she opened up to Sunny about her childhood. She said she has seven siblings but was separated from her parents. Her foster parents raised her and made her feel like a burden.
Veah also revealed that one of the foster families was overly religious. They pressured her to spend most of her time in church, made her wear dresses and cover her head, and controlled her daily life, including her sleep schedule, eating, and bathing. She called that experience “traumatizing.” Even though she trusts God, she doesn’t want to accept religion forcefully. For all latest reality TV updates, keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers.
