When 90 Day Fiancé’s Deavan Clegg first mentioned the “vile things” Jihoon Lee had done in their relationship, many wondered what they were. The incident was reportedly the reason for Deavan and Jihoon’s separation, which came out of the blue. The 90 Day Fiancé stars couldn’t disclose the details, and both Deavan and Jihoon asked fans to watch the Tell-All for answers. But according to new developments, the reason for their break-up could be terrible, with Deavan accusing Jihoon of child abuse.
A young single mother, Deavan met Jihoon, 30, on an international dating app. The Korean man and Deavan, from Utah, fell in love despite the language and cultural barriers, and Jihoon flew to her home to meet her. A surprise baby and a wedding later, Deavan, 23, moved to South Korea with her kids Taeyang and Drascilla. In Korea, Drascilla running away while in Jihoon’s care on one of the 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way episodes created quite a stir. Some fans blamed Deavan for her “bad parenting” rather than Jihoon for his negligence. Soon enough, reports of Deavan and Jihoon splitting up surfaced, and fans started speaking about her new man Topher Park. All this happened while Deavan was staying in America, while Jihoon was in South Korea. This was a clear indication of the couple’s separation. Still, what had prompted Deavan’s move back home with Taeyang and Drascilla wasn’t being revealed, possibly due to contractual obligations. However, a shocking new revelation has now come to light which indicates Jihoon may have abused Drascilla, leading to Deavan’s hasty relocation.
Weeks after asking fans to watch 90 Day Fiancé’s Tell-All to find out what happened, Deavan announced she won’t be appearing on the show via Instagram. If a story by All About The Tea is to be believed, it’s not Deavan’s but TLC’s decision to keep her away from the reunion episode. The story’s source, blogger John Yates, claims it was child abuse allegations she made against Jihoon that caused Deavan to flee South Korea. TLC apparently helped Deavan return to Utah “after she accused Jihoon of abusing Drascilla.” Deavan wanted no more of the relationship and soon moved on with Topher, “a man who treated her better.” John added further, “The network doesn’t want Deavan anywhere near Jihoon due to the abuse allegations,” and that’s why both of the 90 Day Fiancé cast members have been asked not to show up for the Tell-All.
During their earlier episodes on 90 Day Fiancé, Jihoon’s irresponsible behavior and poor financial decisions had fans calling him out on social media regularly. He was chided for being unemployed, which has also led Jihoon to have meltdowns and delete his Instagram account several times. But lately, his fan base seems to be multiplying at large. Deavan’s grave allegations could change the way 90 Day Fiancé fans think of Jihoon. However, it's also possible they somehow still blame Deavan for her supposedly poor parenting skills.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way returns to TLC this October.
