Two years ago today, Shekinah Garner married Sarper Güven. On November 11, 2024, the couple said their vows after a long-distance courtship, then tried to save the marriage on 90 Day: The Last Resort. On the second anniversary of that wedding, the only thing left is a court filing — Shekinah is asking a judge to order Sarper to pay her $6,189 a month in spousal support, plus $35,000 toward her lawyers.
Court documents obtained by TMZ, reported November 8, put the $6,189-a-month request on the record. Over a full year, the ask alone totals $74,268. Shekinah’s case: she flew to Turkey about every two months for two years before Sarper got his U.S. visa, staying roughly three weeks each time, and closed her Los Angeles facial studio while away. Her business, she says, ended that stretch with a net loss of about $51,000. These are requests, not awards, and no ruling has been reported. The reaction arrived instantly. Here are the five wildest takes, ranked from mild skepticism to the one argument nobody could answer.
#5 — “I Highly Doubt the 6 Figures”: The Math Skeptics
Reddit users in a thread about potential alimony did the math first. One commenter wrote, “I highly doubt the 6 figures.” The logic: a marriage under two years, a business she can reopen, and a $74,268-a-year ask that reads like a salary, not support. The skeptics are not saying she sacrificed nothing — they are saying the number has to survive a judge.
#4 — “Vapid”: The One Word That Stuck
The tone sharpened in an earlier Reddit thread about her $50,000 legal-cost request, where one commenter called the whole dispute “vapid.” The word travelled, because it summed up a camp of fans who see the divorce as a fight over lifestyle, not survival. Shekinah, they argue, has a social media presence and a business to return to. Her side: the platform cost two years of closed doors.
#3 — “Bad Business Management”: The Studio Shutdown Gets Graded
The most practical objection came under TV Shows Ace’s report: “Who closes up a business for weeks at a time? You will lose long term clients. Bad business management.” It attacks the premise of her case. If closing the studio was a choice, fans argue, the $51,000 loss is a business decision, not a sacrifice Sarper owes her for. Her filing says otherwise: the trips kept the relationship alive across two continents — while Sarper’s comedy business grossed more than $280,000 in the same period, with about $180,000 in net profit, per the joint tax return she cited.

#2 — “The Biggest LEECH Around”: The Harshest Verdict
Then the gloves came off. In the same TV Shows Ace comments, one fan wrote: “She is the biggest LEECH around… fake, fake, fake. She is more than able to return to her career, but she thinks so much of herself.” It is the ugliest reaction on this list, and it is worth saying plainly: it is a fan’s insult, not a fact. But it shows how far sympathy has fallen for Shekinah. The split had already turned messy before the filing, including his single-era night in Tulsa and the stand-up jokes built on their sex life.

#1 — “You Sponsored Him”: The Argument Nobody Could Answer
The reaction that stopped the thread cold was not an insult. It was a reminder: “Shouldn’t she shut up on this because YOU SPONSORED HIM TO COME HERE, you have to support him for 10 years.” Shekinah brought Sarper to America on a K-1 visa in late 2024 — she was the petitioner, the sponsor, the one who signed the papers. Fans argue that flips the ledger: the person asking for support is the one who promised to support him. It is a fan’s reading of paperwork, not a legal ruling. But as rhetoric, it landed hardest — because it uses Shekinah’s own signature against her.
No judge has ruled, and Sarper has not publicly answered the new figures. Shekinah says she closed her studio so Sarper’s comedy could take off, and the tax return says it did. So tell us: if you were the judge, would $6,189 a month be payback for two years of closed doors — or a bill Sarper never agreed to pay?
