90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way has seen its share of controversial couples, but Statler Riley’s recent accusations against ex-girlfriend Dempsey Wilkinson are sparking a fresh wave of drama. Statler, originally from Irving, Texas, fell for Dempsey’s British charm and planned to relocate to the U.K. But following their season 6 split, Statler claims that Dempsey not only cheated with her roommate but also owes her $20,000—and, to top it off, kept the van and Statler’s belongings.
The feud has only intensified as fans accuse Statler of being “super petty” for her ongoing Instagram posts and accusations, while Dempsey seems to have moved on with a new relationship. Statler’s unfiltered posts targeting Dempsey have left viewers divided, with some questioning if she’s just stirring up drama for attention.

Statler’s Social Media Shade: Is It Going Too Far?
On Reddit, a user shared screenshots of Statler’s Instagram stories, where she took aim at Dempsey with pointed remarks. Statler accused Dempsey of using money owed to her to fund travels and Photoshopped herself into an image of Dempsey, adding, “Thank y’all for supporting me.” In a follow-up post, Statler expressed frustration that “people love drama but even when the truth is dramatic, they’d rather believe the lies.”
Statler’s ongoing posts have drawn backlash from fans who feel her public shaming of Dempsey reveals a “petty” side, especially as Dempsey has largely refrained from engaging in the accusations. Some supporters believe that Statler’s relentless narrative is overshadowing her own “authentic” personality she’s known for on the show.

Why Statler’s “Petty” Behavior Isn’t Winning Over Fans
Statler’s Instagram commentary began after she discovered Dempsey’s new relationship. She even tagged Dempsey’s girlfriend, Anayeli Trujillo, claiming Dempsey had met her while they were still together. Statler also alleged emotional cheating, escalating her grievances by asking Anayeli to request the return of some sentimental belongings. While Statler’s approach may be justified to some, her “petty” tactics have left a lasting impression on fans.
Interestingly, Dempsey has chosen silence, only responding when Statler hinted that her teddies had been discarded. This subtle yet mature response has made her appear more reasonable and level-headed, contrasting with Statler’s persistent jabs.

Statler’s constant need to call out Dempsey has some questioning her motives. Many fans feel Statler may be leaning into her “petty” side to stay relevant post-breakup. After all, if Statler believed Dempsey was a “red flag,” why didn’t she address it sooner or keep the split private?
While Statler claims she’s being true to herself, her methods have raised eyebrows. The conflict reveals how deeply relationships on 90 Day Fiancé affect real lives—and how the show’s stars handle personal struggles in the public eye.
