90 Day Fiancé: Andrei Called Out Cowardly Trolls Amid American Citizenship Milestone (Signs He & Libby Can’t Take Constructive Criticism)
Former 90 Day Fiancé cast member Andrei Castravet’s latest achievements have given him the confidence to respond to critics on social media. He first met Elizabeth “Libby” Potthast in Dublin, Ireland, and they quickly fell in love. Andrei believed Elizabeth was the perfect match for him, and they decided to get married in the United States. In 2017, Andrei arrived in the United States on a K-1 visa. He and Elizabeth joined 90 Day Fiancé season 5 to share their unique journey, filled with dramatic twists and family conflicts.
Andrei and Elizabeth tied the knot during season 5. They continued to appear on TV to showcase their marital issues and share their most vulnerable moments with viewers. Andrei and Elizabeth had a second wedding in Moldova a few years later. They had their first child, Eleanor, in 2019 and her second child, Winston, in 2022. Despite many challenges, Andrei and Elizabeth made their marriage work and moved into their own home in Florida. They became popular social media influencers, suggesting they are on par with other famous pairs like Loren and Alexei Brovarnik.
Andrei Thinks His Critics Are Cowards
Andrei has always been an overconfident man who enjoys taking shots at anyone who disagrees with him.
In September, Andrei posted a video on his Instagram mocking the “90-day trolls” for their critical comments. The clip featured Andrei acting as a critic and his wife, Elizabeth, reacting to the harsh remarks with a straight face. Andrei used the video to poke fun at the critics who had accused him of being a gold digger. He also shut down haters who had been suggesting he had only married his American wife for a green card.
Andrei called his haters cowards, saying they wouldn’t “sound the same” if they faced him directly. He portrayed them as loudmouth bullies, which was ironic because he exhibited similar behavior towards his in-laws on the show. Andrei is known for being rude and making mean comments towards others. A few years ago, he had a conflict with his brother-in-law, Charlie Potthast, which led to a physical altercation. Over the last eight years, Andrei has also behaved poorly towards his wife and father-in-law, Chuck Potthast, on multiple occasions.
Andrei’s Overconfident Amid American Citizenship Milestone
Andrei’s recent attacks on his critics suggest he has gained more self-confidence since obtaining American citizenship. When he previously appeared on TV, he was facing a deportation scare and seemed much less confident in himself, which affected his mood. Critics were convinced Andrei couldn’t obtain citizenship because of his aggressive behavior. However, Andrei surprised everyone by announcing he had become an American citizen in July. He posted a video proudly celebrating his new milestone in the United States, stating, “I’m an US Citizen! God Bless America.”
Andrei is also overconfident because he has proven some of his doubters wrong by establishing himself in the United States.
Over the years, the 90 Day Fiancé alum has successfully transformed his life and established himself as a good husband. Andrei is a good father to his two children and a supportive partner to Elizabeth. He has also lost weight and started a new business unexpectedly without his in-laws’ help. It seems Andrei believes he is above any criticism in 2024. He wants to call out anyone, especially the “90-Day Trolls,” who criticize him.
Do Andrei & Elizabeth Deserve The Shade?
Andrei and Elizabeth aren’t perfect; they have issues, so 90 Day Fiancé viewers aren’t wrong for criticizing some of their actions. While Andrei and Elizabeth have disproved some of their critics, they haven’t yet established themselves as truly compatible partners like David Toborowsky and Annie Suwan. They still have many personal differences, particularly stemming from Andrei’s rude behavior and his disdain for Elizabeth’s family, which leave them open to criticism. Some 90 Day Fiancé viewers may be incorrect in calling Andrei a gold digger, but others are probably correct in noting his lack of respect for his wife and in-laws.
