Darcey Silva and her twin sister, Stacey, have been known for their obsession with transforming their appearances over the years. When Darcey first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, her look was more natural. However, as the spinoff progressed into its third season, she began to undergo noticeable changes. Eventually, Darcey and Stacey secured their own show and decided to undergo twin makeovers in Turkey. Their goal was to achieve a specific aesthetic, but the results left them almost unrecognizable. People have criticized Darcey, suggesting she needs therapy, and questioned her role as a role model for her two daughters.

Redditors reacted to Aniko’s statement, expressing sadness over her body dysmorphia and acknowledging the potential influence her mother and aunt may have had on her self-image.
Many Reddit users pointed out that Darcey Silva’s constant pursuit of physical changes and dissatisfaction with her appearance may have contributed to Aniko’s body issues.
