90 Day Fiance star Andrew Kenton has conducted a Tell-All of his own by responding to Amira Lollysa's shocking Season 8 Tell-All allegations -- including that their relationship was "toxic" and Andrew's family allegedly never thanked her for gifts she had sent them.

"I would say there were elements of our relationship that were indeed toxic," Andrew acknowledged.
"There were certainly transformations that happened once filming got involved and there were communication breakdowns entirely. I won't necessarily deny that. There were definitely toxic elements to our relationship on both sides."
On 90 Day Fiance: The Couples Tell All in April, Amira called in via videochat from France and refused to participate as long as Andrew was in the room. Andrew seemed desperate to talk things out with Amira and share his side of the story, but Amira stood her ground.
Amira told producers at the time that she was "scared" of Andrew because he had yelled and screamed at her in the past.
Amira said Andrew didn't deserve her attention, adding, "I will not give him the pleasure to control me again ever in my whole life. When he talks to me, he makes me feel guilty about everything."
Andrew therefore stormed off the set and said he wouldn't speak his mind if Amira wasn't willing to listen to or engage him.
Amira said on the Tell-All she last talked to Andrew when he had asked for the engagement ring back. Amira said not only did she return her diamond ring, but she also sent gifts to him and his family members and they allegedly never said "thank you."

"The gifts I think are being a little overplayed in that regard," Andrew claimed in his In Touch interview.
"They were very confusing in the nature, and I don't think that she genuinely actually expected a 'thank you' for them."

"So if she was expecting a 'thank you' for that, I am willing to talk. We were willing to communicate; she was the one that didn't want to communicate in that regard. So it's very confusing," Andrew said.
When recalling her three-day detainment in Mexico City on the Tell-All, Amira claimed Andrew had not texted or called her at all asking how she was doing.
But when cast members asked Amira to clarify whether or not she had received a single message from Andrew, she changed her story a bit and replied, "I had barely nothing [from him]."
Andrew insisted he "did indeed" try to help Amira when she was detained after her flight from France. (Andrew and Amira's goal had been to quarantine in Mexico for two weeks amid the coronavirus pandemic and then travel to the United States together).
"I had translators calling the airport. We looked around. We got a hold of all the detention centers inside of Mexico City [and] contacted the French embassy," Andrew explained.
"I've even posted on my Instagram conversations that I've had with the translators in which we were working through the various problems. So ultimately, yeah, there was a lot of effort made."

"A lot of the scenes you see of me 'enjoying' a vacation are actually well after the fact she's already back in France, and also, a lot of those are also misrepresented," Andrew told the magazine.
Andrew also noted that he decided to get a massage because he had gotten into a serious ATV accident towards the end of his trip.
"It actually hurt me pretty bad. I had big cuts and bruises all over my body, and so the 'self-care' line you see me say on the show is actually just me like saying, 'Oh, I need self-care after my ATV accident.' And I go and get the massage," Andrew shared.
Andrew also insisted that Amira had suggested both the Mexico City and Serbia trips and that he never forced her to do either one, nor would he have resented her for not going.
Andrew claimed Amira had been the one on "the message board" and searching for alternative travel options all along, despite what was shown on the series' eighth season.
Amira flying to Serbia for two weeks of quarantine before entering the U.S. was another "loophole" she and Andrew had tried.

However, when it became time for Amira to hop on a plane to America, she said she had a "panic attack" after a fight with Andrew and ultimately decided to return to France.
Amira's decision to go home appeared to put the nail in the coffin for her relationship with Andrew, who then asked her to send back her engagement ring in the mail.
Amira told producers on the Tell-All that what she did for Andrew was "never enough" and they broke up because he pressured her to have a baby right away. Amira also accused Andrew of getting back on a dating website shortly after their split.
However, Amira revealed she has since met someone new -- another American -- and she's happy and "in love" with "Mr. Right."
When asked why he believes their storyline on 90 Day Fiance portrayed Amira in the more positive light, Andrew replied, "I think that I ultimately do look more villainous and come off as more aggressive."
