MJ and Tommy's Marriage Hits Rock Bottom in Therapy

Mercedeh "MJ" Javid and Tommy Feight's marriage troubles are put under the microscope in a therapy session, as seen in a sneak peek of The Valley: Persian Style's season finale. A therapist suggests MJ's issues stem from unmet needs and disappointment, while Tommy pushes back, feeling unfairly criticized.

MJ also expresses concern over Tommy's reluctance to join her friends at social events, leading her to feel like she's often attending them alone. The therapist notes the importance of couples participating in social activities together.

Tommy finds the therapy session "ridiculous," feeling that he is being singled out as the one with problems. He argues that he has little in common with MJ's social circle and resents being made to feel like he has to change.

In a separate interview, MJ voices her disappointment in Tommy's reaction, stating she feels emotionally neglected due to his resistance to socializing with her friends. This emotional disconnect contributed to MJ filing for divorce in October 2025 after seven years of marriage.

Following their divorce, MJ and Tommy confirmed in December 2025 that they had reached a custody agreement for their 6-year-old son, Shams. MJ shared in January that their focus is on co-parenting, ensuring Shams sees both parents regularly and maintaining a sense of family despite their marital status.
