90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Tell All has brought a lot of drama for the cast. Vanja Grbic has had a tough time with her relationship with Josko, who lives in another country. She revealed that he had secretly filmed her while they were being physically intimate with each other.

On the other side, Tigerlily and Adnan's relationship also made headlines. Fans commented how it felt like the Jordan native was trying to control her. The two have recently given birth to a baby boy.

During a short break from filming of 90 Day Fiancé Tell All, Vanja and Tigerlily crossed paths. Adnan soon chimed in with his opinions. This escalated into an argument between them.

Back on the set, the 90 Day Fiancé host, Shawn, addressed their issues. Adnan did not want to talk to Vanja alone because of his religion, but to her, it felt like he was "demeaning" her. Talking about the relationship between Tigerlily and Adnan, Vanja says,

"That just makes no sense to me... It's Stockholm Syndrome."

90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Tell All - Vanja Grbic argues with Adnan

The conversation between Vanja and Tigerlily started backstage during a break. They were discussing Adnan and how it felt to Tigerlily earlier that it was a "controlling" marriage. Before she could clarify, Adnan joined their conversation, and the topic changed.

He wanted Vanja to meet with an Arabic guy, but she said no. Vanja told him that she would not cover up for anyone. She says it's not for the attention, but she loves to do it for herself. Soon, Tigerlily excuses herself out of the conversation, and Adnan follows her. But Vanja insists that he stays and talks to her.

He denies that request and says that he can not do so. Tigelily explains that it is because of his religion that he can not stand with other women alone and talk to them.

However, Adnan points out her dress and says that if he looks at her "the other way," it will be bad for him. He kept saying, "For what reason," again and again. In a confessional, Vanja revealed,

"I was definitely upset by Adnan's comments. Like, as a woman, I have no important conversations to contribute and it's very demeaning. Have a thing a for men telling women what to do, and how to behave. You know whenever I was commenting and like what I had to say, he was doing the little bobblehead and everything. It just seems like he can dish it out but he can't take it."

When they were back on the stage, 90 Day Fiancé host Shawn asked Vanja what she was upset about during the backstage conversation with Adnan. She felt that because she was a woman, Adnan did not think it would be worth talking to her. Tigerlily defended her husband and said it was not the case at all. Explaining his point of view, she said,

"Let me explain. Adnan doesn't talk to girls by himself. It doesn't matter. Out of respect for our marriage. Just to say that if I'm talking to Joey and Adnan. And then Adnan has to leave, to do something else. Out of respect for my marriage, I would excuse myself, from the conversation with Joey."

Soon, Adnan and Joey start talking about their trust in each other. However, Vanja is still upset and claims that Tigerlily has "Stockholm syndrome."
