Netflix’s ‘The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On’ is back with another season of messy love triangles and relationship drama, and this time, all eyes are on Scotty Lewis. Six couples signed up for this wild social experiment to figure out if they’re ready to say “I do” or walk away for good—but Scotty has managed to steal the spotlight (and not in the best way).
Scotty entered the show with his girlfriend Aria, issuing the infamous ultimatum because he wanted clarity on their future. Instead of answers, their relationship quickly spiraled as Scotty formed a surprising bond with Zaina Sesay. Cue the drama: from holding hands with Zaina to passionately defending his actions in the name of the “experiment,” Scotty’s moves have been stirring the pot—and not in a fun way.
Fans have been buzzing online, calling him out for his controlling behavior and explosive arguments, especially with Zaina, who hasn’t held back in challenging his temper and communication style. In the midst of it all, viewers have also been increasingly curious about Scotty’s ethnic background, which comes as no surprise given his interesting appearance.
What Is Scotty Lewis’ Ethnicity? ‘The Ultimatum’ Alum Has Fans Guessing!
When it comes to Scotty Lewis from ‘The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On,’ the internet can’t seem to stop wondering about one thing: his ethnicity. Fans have been throwing out guesses left and right, trying to pin down his background. As it turns out, Scotty is half Sri Lankan and half Black, but that hasn’t stopped people from speculating wildly.
Some swear he looks Indian or Trinidadian, pointing to his features and vibe as a dead giveaway for South Asian or Caribbean roots. One Reddit user confidently declared, “He looks and acts Sri Lankan,” while another was convinced he’s Guyanese, commenting, “He’s got that Guyanese look for sure.”And then there are the cultural stereotypes fans just couldn’t resist tying him to. A Dominican fan hilariously chimed in, “As a Dominican, we do not claim him… but he’s got Dominican man red flag energy!”
It’s clear Scotty’s unique look and personality spark all kinds of interpretations. Whether it’s a genuine curiosity about his heritage or playful cultural comparisons, he’s got everyone talking—and laughing—about who they think he is.
As for Scotty himself, he appears to be a proud Black man on Instagram, but you’re unlikely to find him addressing his Sri Lankan roots.
Is Scotty Setting Himself Up For Disaster on ‘The Ultimatum’ Season 3?
On the show, Scotty has been pure chaos—a magnet for drama and fiery fan reactions. Out of the six couples braving this wild social experiment, he and his partner, Aria, showed up with tension you could cut with a knife. Things kicked off hot when Scotty threw down his ultimatum and wasted no time vibing with Zaina.
Cue the drama: Aria was not okay when she spotted them holding hands. Fans? Oh, they went in. One called Scotty out, saying, “His aura just gives narcissist vibes,” while another dragged him with, “Scotty is toxic fr. His girl was crying, and he didn’t even notice.” His excuse—that it’s all part of the experiment—landed like a lead balloon. And when Aria flipped the script, imagining if the roles were reversed? Scotty got real defensive, earning zero sympathy points in the process.
As the episodes rolled on, Scotty and Zaina’s dynamic turned into a hot topic. On the surface, they seemed aligned in discussions about marriage and family, but cracks started showing when Scotty’s temper came into play. By Episode 6, things got messy. Scotty confronted Zaina about rumors involving her original partner, J.R., and it all exploded into a heated argument.
Zaina didn’t hold back, telling Scotty to “check” his aggressive behavior. Fans quickly rallied behind her. One tweeted, “Zaina handled herself like a queen, but Scotty gives off serious red-flag energy. The gaslighting, the anger—he’s scary AF.” Another chimed in, “That man screams insecurity and manipulation. Someone get him a therapy session, stat!”
Scotty’s fiery attitude and polarizing choices have fans split. Some see potential in his chemistry with Zaina, while others think his controlling tendencies are too much to ignore. One viewer nailed it, saying, “Scotty’s all about looking like Mr. Perfect for the cameras, but his actions tell a different story. It’s all about control.” This drama has sparked a bigger convo about emotional intelligence and accountability in relationships, with Scotty at the center of it all.
‘The Ultimatum’ Season 3 is streaming on Netflix.
