Mahmoud El Sherbiny, a star on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, is facing backlash following his recent arrest as he makes a comeback to the reality TV series alongside Nicole Sherbiny. Mahmoud, originally from Egypt, is no stranger to fans despite taking a break from the spotlight. He was introduced on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way when his wife Nicole moved from Los Angeles to Cairo in an attempt to save their marriage after nearly divorcing Mahmoud. Despite reconciling, Mahmoud exhibited signs of insecurity and control over Nicole.
Their relationship faced challenges as they struggled to agree on matters like Nicole having friends in Egypt or her choice of clothing as a married Muslim woman. Their arguments often escalated into heated conflicts, leading to tension between them. Mahmoud eventually agreed to move to the U.S. with Nicole after the season concluded. However, Nicole has since revealed that they were involved in another physical altercation that required intervention by authorities.

Mahmoud made headlines in February 2024 when he was arrested for alleged domestic violence against Nicole, as reported by Instagram user MerryPants. The incident occurred on February 20, 2024, in Los Angeles between the couple. Mahmoud's friend posted his $20,000 bail, and he is scheduled to appear in court on March 13, 2024.
Regardless of Nicole's decision, Mahmoud will be appearing in court as required.

Will Mahmoud's Arrest Be Shown On 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?
In Mahmoud’s case, the district attorney has the option to pursue the case if Nicole refuses to press charges. According to The Ashley, Mahmoud has been booked under a different last name than the one he goes by on TV, which is Sherbiny. This could mean Mahmoud uses a different name for TV for privacy reasons. Mahmoud was booked into Los Angeles’ Northeast Division station on Wednesday at 2:50 a.m. PST and was reportedly released on the same evening at 8:40 p.m. PST.
Mahmoud's court date is just four days before the premiere of his season of HEA. There is speculation among viewers that Mahmoud may be removed from the show due to the charges against him. Despite this, two new couples from 90 Day Fiancé season 10, Sophie Sierra and Rob Warne, and Ashley Michelle and Manuel Velez, have been introduced as part of the upcoming season. They are believed to be replacing Mahmoud and Nicole, as well as Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi following Michael's recent disappearance. However, Mahmoud is still featured in the cast of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8. It is anticipated that like Michael, Mahmoud may also disappear from the show after a conflict with Nicole.
