Hidden Truth Exposed: Mahdi Calls Daniele “Toxic and Fake,” Accuses TLC of a Massive Cover-Up!

90 Day Fiancé Season 11 Iranian cast member Mahdi Al Saadi stirred up major drama during the filming of the Tell-All, driven by his belief that fellow cast member Shekinah Garner was unfairly attacked by others — particularly Daniele Gates. After the Tell-All episodes aired, Mahdi was shocked to see that TLC had engaged in manipulative editing to protect Daniele by omitting key parts of their confrontation, including offensive comments she allegedly made to him.

In his recent Instagram stories, Mahdi claims that TLC deliberately cut out key parts of their altercation to protect Daniele and portray him as the aggressor. He explains that Daniele approached him first, invaded his personal space, and made offensive remarks — including suggesting he would have “many problems in this country” and that she wished her husband were there. Mahdi believes these comments were not only disrespectful but also racially and culturally charged, and he’s angry that TLC chose not to air them.

Mahdi also accused Daniele of using cultural stereotypes to paint him as a misogynist, simply because of his background. He says her remarks were rooted in prejudice and that she weaponized his identity to discredit him. What frustrates him most is that, despite being the one provoked, he ended up apologizing multiple times — something he now regrets. He feels that TLC’s editing choices stripped away the context and made him look like the villain, while Daniele’s offensive behavior was conveniently left out of the final cut.

In his final story, Mahdi reflects on the emotional toll the situation has taken on him. He says he kept his hands behind his back during the altercation to avoid being seen as aggressive, yet he was still portrayed negatively. He calls out the “jealousy, toxicity, and manipulation” he saw in Daniele’s behavior and expresses disbelief that people look to her for healing or guidance. Mahdi’s frustration is not just with Daniele, but with TLC for enabling what he sees as a false narrative — one that has caused him public backlash and personal distress.
