Statler Riley from 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way is not going to be a part of the franchise anymore after starring in season 6 with Dempsey Wilkinson. Statler is a 34-year-old woman from Irving, Texas. During her 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 6 debut, Statler revealed that she was adopted at birth when she was a baby. Statler also opened up about having ADHD. She grew up feeling like a black sheep amid siblings who were overachievers. Statler struggled to fit in and decided to leave the country when she found a British girlfriend.
Dempsey felt betrayed by Statler’s decision, but the two women also had to navigate through trust issues in their debut season. While a UK move never happened, Statler toured Europe for over a year with Dempsey in a van and the couple ended up discovering how incompatible they were. In the end, it was a cheating scandal that tore them apart. Statler and Dempsey’s split has been one of the most bitter ones in the franchise’s history, with Statler accusing Dempsey of infidelity and exploiting her financially.
Statler & Dempsey Broke Up
In June 2024, Statler took to Instagram to make some shocking claims about her now ex-girlfriend. Statler and Dempsey had previously confirmed they were together in February 2024 and were vacationing in Sri Lanka. This time around, what Statler wrote about Dempsey was too hard to believe. She posted several Stories and deleted them quickly, but not before 90 Day Fiancé blogger Shabooty could take screenshots. One of them was a picture of Statler, with Dempsey, a woman named Georgia, and a mystery female. Statler claimed Georgia was Dempsey’s “f*** buddy.”
“You’ve Been Scammed By A British Gypsy & Everyone saw it coming but you!”
Statler claimed Dempsey had lived with Georgia for two months while having an affair with her. Statler found out about it while filming but took the fall to protect Dempsey’s reputation. She also claimed that Dempsey was living rent-free in the van they used to tour the European countryside. As per Statler, she was paying $700 monthly towards Dempsey’s van but couldn’t pay her own rent. Statler called Dempsey a “Scam artist.” Statler claims Dempsey owes thousands from the van purchase.
Statler Feuded With Armando Rubio & Kenny Niedermeier
Statler got into an online war with Armando and Kenny after she took to social media to suggest a 90 Day Fiancé spin-off which would be a cross between The Real World and Big Brother. In January 2024, Statler wished for a show where 90 Day Fiancé cast members would stay under one roof with drinks and drama, but one of them would get voted off each week. However, Statler started accusing the network of stealing her idea in June 2024. Armando and Kenny debunked these claims while adding a show like that was in the works before Statler’s debut.
Statler Was Uninvited From The Tell All
The 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 6 Tell-All aired in November 2024. Statler and Dempsey’s split was not a part of the finale and the women had decided to give their relationship one more chance. However, the events in real life were far more serious. The network did not include Statler and Dempsey in the reunion episode. Statler later took to Instagram to clarify that she wasn’t uninvited because she spoiled her storyline but because she had spoken against the show.
Statler Launched Her Own Podcast
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fanpage 90daythemelanatedway reposted screenshots of Statler’s Story where she claimed that apart from her, there had been only one other person who wasn’t invited in the entire history of the franchise. Statler did not mention who this cast member was, but she used this juicy piece of information to promote her upcoming “The Tell All Podcast.” Statler has since invited co-star Corona Blakey to be a part of her podcast. Statler wishes to expose the show about what happens behind the scenes with her own version of the Tell All and the cast who believe they’ve been wronged.
