“90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way” star Statler Riley has taken a swipe at Dempsey Wilkinson as the sixth season chronicles the demise of their relationship. Statler, a 33-year-old from Texas, encountered Dempsey from Darlington, England, through a dating app. She was charmed by Dempsey’s accent and initially withheld her intention to relocate to England when they first met. Although Dempsey agreed to Statler’s move, she also proposed trying out van life. However, viewers are already aware that their storyline concludes tragically for Statler from Irving.
Statler disclosed that she and Dempsey parted ways long before “90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way” season 6 aired, effectively spoiling their narrative.
Since then, Statler has announced her departure from the franchise and has not shied away from critiquing her former partner on Instagram. In a recent post, Statler declared that she has finally recognized her self-worth now that she’s no longer with someone who didn’t appreciate her. She shared several photos from her recent trip to Toronto, captioning the album, “A crazy thing happens when you finally see your worth. Suddenly, everyone else does too.” Among the pictures was a selfie with a mysterious woman. Statler also listed the countries she has visited, with Canada being the 19th.
