Is Patrick Mendes finally ready to stop playing games and get serious about this divorce, or is he just throwing money at his problems like he throws around roses on reality TV?
Well, honey, the 90 Day Fiancé villain just took a major step in his ongoing legal battle with estranged wife Thais by hiring a legit attorney and filing his response to her counterclaim in Nevada court. Because apparently, when your marriage implodes faster than your social media followers can unfollow you, it’s time to call in the big guns!
Patrick has officially retained Kurt A. Smith of Smith Legal Group to represent him, and sources tell us that a Notice of Appearance was filed in response to Thais’s counterclaim that landed on June 17. Translation: This man is done playing house husband and is ready to rumble in court. The filing marks a significant escalation in what has already been one of the messiest 90 Day Fiancé divorces to grace our screens.
For those who’ve been living under a rock, Patrick and Thais’s relationship was basically a dumpster fire wrapped in a telenovela plot. The couple’s journey from Brazil to Las Vegas was filled with red flags the size of billboards, controlling behavior, and enough drama to fuel ten seasons of the TLC hit show. Fans watched in horror as their marriage crumbled faster than his credibility.
Now, with both parties lawyering up and filing legal documents like they’re going out of style, this divorce is officially heading into scorched-earth territory. Thais’s counterclaim suggests she’s not going down without a fight, and Patrick’s decision to retain an attorney shows he’s ready to defend his position with the same intensity he uses to defend his questionable life choices on television.
The internet is absolutely living for this drama! Fans have been flooding social media with their thoughts, with many saying they called this breakup from episode one. Some are team Thais, praising her for standing up to Patrick’s controlling ways, while others are just here for the tea and watching the legal battle unfold like it’s a reality TV show—because honestly, it basically is.
This Nevada court case is shaping up to be the ultimate messiest divorce we’ve seen from the franchise, and we cannot wait to see how it all plays out!
What do you think? A) Patrick’s finally being smart by getting legal representation B) Both of them need to move on and stop the madness
