In a dramatic turn on the latest episode of “90 Day Fiancé,” it seems Mido has decided to step back from marrying Debby.
Throughout the season, tensions have run high between 41-year-old Mido and 55-year-old Debby. Their relationship has been a whirlwind of intense arguments ever since Mido relocated from Egypt to New Orleans, Louisiana. However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Mido’s sights might be set more on achieving Hollywood stardom than on tying the knot with Debby.
The recent episode highlights Mido’s aspirations as he approaches a Hollywood agent named Jason. Eagerly, Mido expresses his desire to follow in the footsteps of legendary actors like Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington, Al Pacino, and Brad Pitt. While Jason recognizes Mido’s charm and good looks, he ultimately decides not to take him on as a client.
Jason advises Mido, saying, “I suggest you focus on improving your craft through classes and working on your English skills; maybe then, we could consider a collaboration down the road.”
Despite the setback, Mido remains undeterred, confidently asserting to the cameras that he knows his acting talent merits success.
After Mido talks to Debby about his conversation with Jason, telling her that he needs to take more classes, Debby says they need to put that on hold because they have to make sure he’s “going to stay.” Debby notes to cameras that all Mido ever wants to talk about is his acting career, and not about their relationship.
“We only have a month left until his visa expires,” she points out. “Not once has he said anything about getting married.”
“That really does not sit well with me,” she adds. “If Mido doesn’t start showing me that he’s 100 percent, then we could forget about acting classes. He’s going to go back to Egypt.”
Later, Debby surprises Mido with a trip to a chapel, where they could potentially get married. When she mentions to the owner, Ranna, that she wants to get married in three weeks, Mido visibly gets more uncomfortable.
“Debby put more pressure on me,” he tells cameras. “It’s like she’s pushing me and I don’t like this way at all.”
After Ranna steps out to give the couple privacy, Mido drops a bombshell — he tells Debby it “is a lot” and that he needs to “return back home.”
A shocked Debby asks him if he’s kidding, to which he just shrugs his shoulders. He then tells her, “I can’t find myself here.”
Debby runs out of the chapel, extremely distraught. She dramatically shuts the door on a cameraman, telling them “No,” before storming out and having a complete breakdown.
Debby loudly sheds tears, and appears to be having a panic attack.
“Oh my God,” she says as she sobs, dropping to the floor.
