90 Day: The Single Life fans have accused Season 3 cast member Debbie Johnson of meddling in Tania Maduro and estranged husband Syngin Colchester's business.
Debbie, 70, has been starring on the latest edition of the TLC dating show and appeared on the Tell All reunion episode alongside her son, Colt Johnson.
Colt, 37, has been a regular in the 90 Day Fiancé universe since his first appearance in Season 6, when he was engaged to Larissa Lima, and is now married to Vanessa Carrera.
Colt and Carrera first appeared on the second Tell All episode of 90 Day: The Single Life Season 3, which aired last Monday, and joined again for the third installment which aired on December 12.
During the episode, Maduro, 32, brought out a notary on stage to finalize her divorce from Colchester, also 32, who was also present for the reunion.
The couple revealed in October 2021 they were splitting just two years after their July 2019 wedding ceremony that was filmed for the 90 Day Fiancé Season 7 finale.
But it was only at the reunion filming that the former spouses legally divorced.
The surprising moment led to Debbie, who has been starring on 90 Day: The Single Life with boyfriend Tony, and Maduro getting into an explosive fight after Debbie called Maduro a "b****," and said she no longer liked her.
The comments appeared to come out of nowhere and the duo continued to trade insults right up until the moment that Maduro and Colchester were signing their divorce papers on stage.
After the odd behavior, some fans rushed to social media to question why Debbie got involved in Maduro and Colchester's big moment in the first place.
On Twitter, one fan posted: "[Tania] you don't owe Debbie an explanation about your life. Debbie take your hateful self on somewhere #TellAll #singlelife #90DayFiance."
While a second fan posted: "Ugh Debbie shut up already. You need to focus on your own issues because you have plenty #90DayFiance #singlelife #TellAll."
"Debbie's been a little [s***] stirrer this Tell All #90DayFiance #90dayfiancethesinglelife," added a third.
While another viewer wrote: "Debbie is FULL of anger towards basically everyone on 90 day including her own son she needs serious help #90DaySingleLife."
Elsewhere, Debbie and Colt appeared to draw a line under their already-strained mother and son relationship.
Although the pair used to be close, especially after the death of Colt's father, things took a turn when Debbie moved in with Colt and Vanessa in the early stages of their relationship.
A conversation about their past on the 90 Day: The Single Life Tell All caused tensions to rise, and ultimately Debbie's boyfriend Tony asked to leave the stage and said he would not speak with Colt again.
Debbie then tearfully said: "I seem to make Colt upset every time he sees me, so it's probably better off that he disconnects from me."
Colt then said in a backstage interview that this could be the last time he ever speaks to his mother, though they were then seen sharing a hug as they prepared to leave the set.
90 Day: The Single Life Season 3, including the Tell All episodes, is available to stream in full on Discovery+.
