One of Ben’s eyelids is noticeably droopier than the other, which led to fans questioning what might have caused the pastor’s ptosis.

Currently, Jen and Ben have addressed their eye appearances due to the abundance of 90 Day Fiancé fan rumors, which shows just how out of line the chatter can get. 90 Day Fiancé star Asuelu Pulaa is also a target of fan speculation, as his upper eyelid ptosis lends him a sleepy appearance. Asuelu also has what many viewers call a, “blank stare,” which can indicate disinterest, though it appears to just be caused by his minor ptosis and dark eye color. “Who’s got the best thousand yard stare?” Reddit user u/Abrraxus asked, as they compared Asuleu to Mohamed Abdelhamed, in a post calling out the two men.

1 90 Day Fiancé Fans Discuss Mohamed Abdelhamed

90 Day Fiancé villain Mohamed is a final franchise cast member who has been called out for his minor eyelid ptosis. Like Asuelu, the drooping of Mohamed’s upper eyelids gives him a sleepy appearance. This has opened up to criticism, as combined with Mohamed’s personality, voice, and actions, he comes across as extremely lazy and entitled. The 90 Day Fiancé villain speaks very slowly, and in a drawn-out voice that annoyed many viewers. He also demanded a lot from his ex-wife Yvette Arellano, as the Egyptian man expected Yve to do all the homework and bring home money.

While it was Mohamed and Asuleu’s eyes that caused viewers to compare them in the Reddit thread, the two men ended up sharing other traits. While Mohamed came across as far more villainous that Asuelu, they both frustrated their wives, and asked a lot of them leading up to their splits. Since viewers were annoyed with their traditional opinions about marriage, they ended up finding physical aspects of the men’s appearance to call out. However, ptosis is a normal medical condition that isn’t linked to drug use, laziness, or other traits that 90 Day Fiancé fans contribute to drooping upper eyelids.
