90 Day Fiance’s Tigerlily Responds to Rumor She Stole Money From Her Grandfather’s Trust

90 Day Fiancé star Tigerlily Taylor Abdelfattah is speaking out about a rumor that she allegedly stole money from her family.

The TLC star, 41, took to her Instagram Stories for a Q&A session on Friday, January 31. One fan asked Tigerlily, “Did you steal $340K from your grandfather’s trust?” The question appeared to be in reference to a recent report from Starcasm, which cited court documents stating that Tigerlily and her mother were ordered to pay more than $340,000 to her uncle in 2022 after they allegedly took money from Tigerlily’s grandfather’s trust without permission.

In Touch confirmed that Tigerlily was involved in an Application for Guardianship of the Person and Estate in 2022 via online records.

Tigerlily first warned fans that her response would be a long one and encouraged readers to “do [their] own research” on things instead of believing “what you read or see other people saying, me included.”

The Texas native continued, “Firstly, only trustees of the trust have access to the money in the trust. So there’s absolutely no way that I could have even touched any money from my grandfather’s trust as I was not the trustee.”

Tigerlily added that her grandfather’s trust was set up to make her grandmother the “100 percent beneficiary upon his passing,” noting that her grandfather “loved my grandmother so much and loved spoiling her.”

However, the trustee was her uncle, whom she claimed was “not giving my grandmother a penny of the trust that was set up for her.”

“My mom and I were taking care of her and paying out of our own pocket for her to keep living in the manner in which she was accustomed to. This included food, drink, clothing, toiletries, rent, household bills and all living expenses for the 3.5 years she lived until she passed,” Tigerlily wrote. “And yes, she had legal bills too because her own son, the trustee, was suing her and also my mom and I. What son sues their own mother??”

A Texas judge granted the restraining order, and Tigerlily became her grandmother’s custodian. However, Moss “filed an objection to the inventory, appraisement, and list of claims” three months later, according to the outlet.

In his filing, he claimed Tigerlily and her mother owed her grandfather’s trust $340,408.95 because of a civil lawsuit filed by Tigerlily and her mother in Florida in 2019. Tigerlily’s mother admitted to transferring funds from the trust into her and Tigerlily’s bank accounts to cover attorney fees in the lawsuit, according to a deposition shared in Moss’ filing.

Moss later filed another objection and response to Tigerlily’s restraining order against him and her guardianship of her grandmother, according to Starcasm.

In her Q&A response, Tigerlily said she was “so thankful” that the Texas court system approved the restraining order “so I was able to stop the verbal, emotional, and mental abuse the trustee was causing her.”

“She had dementia and thought my grandfather wasn’t dead but was away on business until the trustee reminded her he was dead, and she had to relive it every time as if it were the first time she was hearing it. And he’d tell her how he didn’t have any money, was working so hard and couldn’t afford anything, he’d talk in a baby voice and refer to himself in third person like he was a child to try and trick her into giving him money,” she continued.

Tigerlily — who claimed in another Q&A that her “grandfather was poisoned and killed by a family member” who then “forged trust documents” to steal money from her grandmother — explained that her grandmother died two years ago. After her death, the trust was “supposed to be divided three ways and get disbursed to the beneficiaries,” including Tigerlily, she wrote.

“But the Trustee has refused to disburse the millions. So ask yourself, who is the actual person who stole here? Who is the one holding all of the millions? Who is the only person who has actually spent any of the Trust money because they’re the only person who has had access to the money? Bingo! The Trustee!” she continued.

Tigerlily claimed “the $340K is the amount that HE spent suing his own mother, my mother and me, and the corrupt Florida court signed off on the court order for my mom and I to pay the trust back for the legal fees that the trustee spent. Pretty messed up right?”

She concluded, “And the kicker is that since I’m a one-third beneficiary, I’m owed a third of the trust which is well over the $340K ‘debt.’ I have zero desire to get my third of the trust, I’m not struggling for money. I don’t need it, I’m not requesting to get any of the hundreds of thousands of dollars my mom and I spent on my grandmother back. I’ve even told the court to take the $340K out of my third of the trust, but the trustee won’t accept that. So again, ask yourself who is the real thief here?”
