90 Day Fiancé: US man, 49, who moved to S'pore for pregnant girlfriend, 28, asks people who flamed him to submit questions

The American man appearing on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way with his Singaporean fiancée has taken to social media after criticism from viewers about his "red flag" behaviour.

Jonathan Pearce, 49, along with Singaporean Noor Alimna, 28, previously raised eyebrows when their love story was first unveiled.

A large age gap, a secret pregnancy and Pearce's unemployment in Singapore made good fodder for viewers.

On Oct. 28, Pearce posted a video on TikTok in response to criticism about his temper and behaviour.

In the video, he described himself as being perceived as "toxic, masculine, narcissistic, gaslighting, love-bombing, emotionally unavailable, red-flag-waving natural disaster" in the four episodes aired so far.

It was now time for viewers to get to know him better, he said.

Ask him anything

Pearce invited viewers to ask him anything, be it funny or serious.

He even welcomed insults.

Through the questions, Pearce hopes the viewers will be able to get to know him better.

Criticism

The 49-year-old also clarified that he doesn't cry "all the time" — only when he is exhausted from international travel and having "serious nicotine withdrawals".

Pearce drew criticism after he got upset that Alimna, known on the show as Ally, questioned him about getting a job in Singapore.

Ally was worried about their finances and their baby, as Pearce had apparently not saved enough money.

Pearce was seen storming off and crying at one point.

In one episode, tension flared again when Ally’s friend Megan also pressed him about his finances.

Pearce later confronted Ally for "betraying" him by telling her friends about his personal life.

His reaction drew backlash as viewers questioned whether he was ready to support their family.

Ally also faces criticism

However, Ally has also drawn her share of criticism.

Despite the mixed reactions so far, Ally told Mothership in an Oct. 19 interview that she "[doesn't] let it get to [her]".

"I feel like I get sooo much hate from Singaporeans because obviously I'm doing something that's taboo," she acknowledged.

She shared that she first met Pearce at a Malaysian bar in December 2023, while he was in the country on a business trip.

The couple subsequently got together and maintained a long-distance relationship, travelling between Singapore and the U.S. to see each other.

Despite the backlash, Ally hopes viewers will continue following their journey with an open mind.

While some issues — like her pregnancy — may seem taboo to Singaporeans, she maintains that they "made a baby out of love" and that he's already an "amazing father" with his existing kids.

"I hope people can actually see our situation as something that is more on love, instead of letting external factors determine whether we are a great couple together."
