Shekinah Garner is facing a fresh wave of backlash, and this time it is not about the original comment. It is about how she has responded to it since.
During a heated argument, Garner told her castmate Thais Ramone to “go back to your country.” Many viewers and some cast members found the remark jarring. This was surprising since Garner is married to an immigrant herself. Now fans want to know if she regrets it, and her answer is not sitting well.
90 Day Fiance: Shekinah Says Production Failed Her During The Fight
Before addressing the comment itself, Garner focused on what happened during the altercation. She said she still doesn’t get why security didn’t intervene while Thais was supposedly attacking her.
Garner confronted the producers directly. They told her they would “find out” why security held back. She said producers thought security would act right away during the fight. But security was reportedly waiting for a signal from producers first.
Garner called it a case of miscommunication, one she said could have cost her an eye.
90 Day Fiance: Does She Regret The Comment? Not Really
Once fans pressed her on the actual remark, Garner’s answer left many unsatisfied. She does not seem to believe she did anything wrong.
Garner said that if she attacked someone in another country, she should be told to go back home. That explanation did not land the way she may have hoped.
90 Day Fiance: Fans Want Accountability, Not Justification
A Reddit thread quickly tore apart Garner’s response. Users questioned why she wouldn’t just admit her comment was wrong. Many noted that Thais had accepted her part in the conflict, admitting both women were at fault. Garner, by comparison, seemed unwilling to do the same.
Garner also maintained that her comment was not racist, insisting she was reacting to Thais’s actions in the moment rather than her ethnicity or nationality.

The reaction online has not been kind. One user wrote plainly, “I think she is racist.” One person called her response “more ignorant, vapid, and narcissistic,” but added they weren’t defending her.
A third comment summed up the bigger problem many fans have with her approach. “She has that thing where you CANNOT go back once you’ve doubled down on something.”
That last observation captures where a lot of the fandom seems to land right now. It is not just the original comment causing friction anymore. It is Garner’s continued insistence that she has nothing to apologize for. Whether that stance changes as the season continues remains to be seen.
