90 Day Fiance star Patrick Mendes filed court documents this week containing disturbing allegations against his wife Thais, claiming she had an affair, then threatened him with a knife while holding their young daughter. The filing paints a picture dramatically different from the couple fans watched on television.
The Allegations
According to the court documents obtained from their domestic proceedings, Patrick claims he discovered Thais' affair in April 2026. When he confronted her about the infidelity, the situation allegedly escalated to a dangerous level.
Thais grabbed a knife and threatened Patrick with it, all while holding their daughter Aleesi.
The claim appears in connection with their ongoing custody and divorce proceedings. Patrick is reportedly seeking primary custody of their daughter based on what he describes as an unsafe environment. The filing also alleges that Thais exhibited erratic behavior in the weeks following the confrontation.
No criminal charges have been filed in connection with the knife allegation. The incident was not reported to police at the time, according to available records. Thais has not publicly responded to the specific claims in the filing, and her legal representation has not issued a statement.
Their Television History
Patrick and Thais appeared on 90 Day Fiance Season 9, which documented their international relationship and the challenges of navigating cultural differences. They later appeared on Happily Ever After, where viewers watched them work through communication issues, family dynamics, and the adjustment to life together in the United States.
Nothing captured on camera suggested the level of conflict now described in court filings. Their storyline was largely centered on Patrick's overprotective behavior and Thais' adjustment to American life. Fans who followed their journey have expressed shock at the allegations emerging from the legal proceedings.
Where It Stands
The case remains pending in family court. No trial date has been set for the custody dispute. Without criminal charges, the knife allegation will be evaluated within the context of the civil proceeding rather than in criminal court.
Patrick has continued posting on social media but has not directly addressed the court filing publicly. Thais has been notably quiet on her platforms since the documents became public. The court is expected to schedule a hearing on custody arrangements within the next several weeks.
It is important to note that allegations in divorce filings are claims made by one party and have not been proven or adjudicated. Both parties are entitled to present their version of events before the court.
The franchise has seen multiple cast members face serious legal issues in recent years, though allegations of this severity are rare. Viewers and fellow cast members have largely avoided commenting publicly, likely waiting for the legal process to play out before forming public opinions. The 90 Day Fiance production company has not issued any statement regarding the situation.
