’90 Day Fiance’ Loren Brovarnik Faces Backlash for Offensive Halloween Costume
Loren Brovarnik, known for her role on 90 Day Fiancé, has stirred up controversy after donning a doormat costume for Halloween, equating it with the challenges of motherhood.
The 36-year-old reality star took to Instagram on October 31 to showcase her creative outfit, which featured a doormat that read “Welcome” alongside footprints.
In her post, Loren captioned the photo, “Them: What are you for Halloween?? Me: A doormat – I mean a mom of 3 toddlers,” accompanied by hashtags like “mom life” and “funny.” While her intention may have been to share a lighthearted take on parenting, the reaction from fans was anything but supportive.
Fans React to Loren’s Costume
Almost immediately after Loren posted the pictures, the comments section lit up with criticism. One user remarked, “Imagine being your child and growing up and seeing this? Yikes,” while another accused Loren of perpetually playing the “victim.”
“That’s depressing as heck. She says/does little things that make her look really unhappy with her life,” a third commenter added, questioning whether her costume reflected her feelings about motherhood. Yet another follower pointedly asked, “Does this mean you feel like a doormat? That is what people are going to think …”
The backlash continued to escalate, with more fans chiming in. “Being a doormat has a negative implication. Victim again,” one person stated, further intensifying the wave of criticism.
Supporters Defend Loren
Despite the onslaught of negativity, there were voices of support for Loren as well. “Oh, for Pete’s sake… it’s JUST a costume! I appreciate your humor, @lorenbrovarnik!” one user commented, prompting Loren to respond with gratitude: “Thank you!!!! All these stiffers over here.”
Another supportive follower encouraged Loren to remain true to herself, stating, “For those of you ‘followers’ who don’t get the humor … move along … YOU keep being YOU Loren! Stay the strong woman you are; ignore the useless unsupportive hatred comments.” This sentiment was echoed by yet another fan who stated, “It’s a funny Halloween costume. Moms do get walked all over. Lauren is all about her family. She’s not playing the victim. She’s being funny and creative.”
Loren’s Family Life and Past Defenses
Loren shares three children — Shai, Asher, and Ariel — with her husband, Alexei Brovarnik. Known for her candidness about the ups and downs of motherhood, Loren has often used humor to navigate the more challenging aspects of parenting. However, she has also been quick to defend her children against critics.
In September, Loren took a stand against a troll who body-shamed her children after she shared a family photo. The comment criticized her kids, stating, “Those kids are getting so big. Watch all the junk food, it’s hard to lose it…” The user went on to suggest that Loren and Alexei should prioritize their children’s health.
Loren’s response was fierce and protective: “Whoa whoa whoa — are you body shaming my 4, 3 and 2 year old? You want to body shame me, fine! I know I put my life out for everyone to see, publicly. But respectfully, my children and their body should be off limits to speak out. Alex and I are their parents, not you. We know what’s best for them. Thanks.”
A Balancing Act
As Loren navigates the tumultuous waters of public scrutiny, her ability to find humor in motherhood remains a vital coping mechanism. While the doormat costume has garnered mixed reactions, it serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by parents in the spotlight. In a world where social media can amplify both support and criticism, Loren’s experiences underscore the importance of self-acceptance and resilience.
As Halloween festivities come to a close, Loren’s playful yet controversial costume has sparked conversations about the realities of motherhood and the pressures that come with being in the public eye. While some may disagree with her approach, it’s evident that Loren is committed to embracing her role as a mother while also asserting her individuality.
With a supportive fan base rallying behind her, Loren Brovarnik continues to demonstrate that the journey of motherhood is filled with both joy and challenges — often best tackled with a sense of humor. Whether she’s dressing up as a doormat or standing up for her children, Loren remains a relatable figure for many who follow her story on 90 Day Fiancé.
