A recent controversy has put 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days star Tigerlily Taylor in the spotlight. Reports claim she illegally took $340,000 from her grandfather’s trust fund. Despite being a new face in the reality TV world, she has already earned a reputation as one of the show’s most talked-about figures.
Tigerlily has been surrounded by multiple controversies, from issues involving her ex-husbands to claims of being a multimillionaire. Additionally, she has received criticism for promoting her handwriting course, which some believe lacks credibility (ScreenRant). Some fans have also accused her of following strict rules set by her husband, Adnan Abdelfattah, which includes dressing modestly and behaving in a reserved manner (ScreenRant).
However, the most serious issue yet is the lawsuit involving her uncle. When her grandfather passed away, he left behind a trust. According to her uncle, both Tigerlily and her mother took money from it without permission.
Tigerlily Taylor Responds to Claims of Taking Money from the Trust
Tigerlily recently addressed the allegations. When an Instagram follower asked if she had stolen from the trust, she strongly denied the accusations.
“Don’t just believe what you read or see other people saying, me included,” she stated. She insisted there was “absolutely no way” she could have accessed the money, as only the trustee had control over it. She explained that her grandparents were multimillionaires and that after her grandfather died, her grandmother was the sole beneficiary.
She further accused her uncle, who was the trustee, of withholding money from her grandmother, forcing Tigerlily and her mother to cover her expenses for over three years. She also revealed that her uncle sued both her and her mother, leading to legal battles.
“And yes, she had legal bills too because her own son, the trustee, was suing her, my mom, and me,” she wrote. She also mentioned being grateful that the Texas court approved a protective order, which helped her stop the emotional and mental distress caused by her uncle.
Tigerlily then accused her uncle of manipulating her grandmother, who suffered from dementia. She stated that after her grandmother’s death, the trust was supposed to be divided among three beneficiaries, including herself. However, she claimed that her uncle refused to distribute the money.
“So ask yourself, who is actually the one who stole here? Who has access to the millions? Who has been spending the trust money? Bingo! The trustee!” she wrote.
What Does Tigerlily’s Response to the Rumors Mean?
Is She Hiding Something?
Tigerlily’s financial situation has raised many questions, especially after she casually spent $26,000 on a luxury watch for her husband, Adnan, in the season premiere. She has claimed that her wealth comes from her businesses and smart investments. She also mentioned that her grandfather invested in stocks for her when she was a child.
However, there is no solid proof of her financial independence. She has denied receiving alimony from her second ex-husband, but there is no evidence that their divorce was ever finalized. Adding to the speculation, Tigerlily has been accused of forging documents to become a handwriting expert, as reported by (Starcasm](https://starcasm.net/tigerlily-family-lawsuit/)).
While she insists that her uncle is the one who forged their grandfather’s signature, the court ruled against her. In 2022, she was ordered to return the $340,000 she allegedly took from the trust without permission. The court found no proof that the signatures had been forged.
In another shocking claim, Tigerlily told her Instagram followers that her grandfather had been “poisoned and killed.” She also mentioned that she had tried to gain legal guardianship over her grandmother and even filed a restraining order against her uncle.
Meanwhile, her uncle presented emails in court that showed her grandfather criticizing her spending habits.
Can Tigerlily Convince Fans She’s Telling the Truth?
There are many reports online about Tigerlily, including claims that she is still legally married to her second ex-husband and that she was ordered to repay $340,000. These reports are based on court documents, which are publicly available.
Tigerlily continues to ask her fans not to believe these reports and instead trust her side of the story. However, this approach may not be enough to convince everyone. Her involvement in multiple controversies and her reluctance to acknowledge criticism make it difficult for some fans to believe her.
While she frequently comments on the actions of her 90 Day Fiancé co-stars, she struggles to handle criticism herself.
Final Thoughts
Tigerlily Taylor’s situation remains unclear. She strongly denies any wrongdoing and insists that her uncle is the real culprit. However, the court ruling and the available documents tell a different story.
As the drama unfolds, fans will have to decide for themselves whether to believe Tigerlily or the legal records.
