Corey Rathgeber and Evelin Villegas have left many 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way viewers feeling cheated after it was revealed that the American and Ecuadorian couple secretly wed a year ago. Viewers were already unhappy to see Evelin and Corey cast in more 90 Day Fiancé content due to the rude way Evelin treats Corey. However, the couple is now being accused of scamming viewers.
Evelin has historically been opposed to the idea of marriage and children, which complicated things with her American partner, Corey. Though the couple started The Other Way season 3 with Evelin riddled with doubt about whether she should legally commit herself to Corey via marriage, Evelin shocked audiences by admitting to her sisters she married Corey a year ago and kept the nuptials a total secret. This controversial announcement cast doubt onto the authenticity of Corey and Evelin’s story, though both halves of the couple have asked for their privacy on social media and maintained their loving and authentic relationship.
Fans feel mislead and cheated by Evelin and Corey for many reasons. Many are furious that the couple’s plotline revolved around marriage doubts since they were already married. However, fans have even deeper issues with Evelin and Corey. 90 Day Fiancé viewers have expressed that they want to see genuine depictions of international romance. However, the cruel way Evelin treats Corey is a far cry from real love. Viewers have accused the Ecuadorian woman of using Corey to fund her business. Many fans are also angered by the rude way Evelin speaks about Corey with her sisters, as well as how they join Evelin in treating Corey badly.
Evelin and Corey continue to have their relationship plagued by rumors, which further casts doubt on the validity of their connection. The couple faces rumors that they have been married for years, though they maintain that they married in 2019. Corey also blasted the rumors that Evelin couldn’t enter the country for a decade as false. However, now that fans know the couple lied about being married, many have difficulties believing anything they claim. Furthermore, viewers have even more difficulty believing that Evelin loves Corey since she refused to even tell her family about their nuptials. Many fans find it strange that Evelin waited a year to confide in her sisters.
Overall, viewers initially tuned in to Evelin and Corey’s storyline to experience what they hoped would be a genuine romance. Instead, viewers were treated to a frustrating depiction of Evelin being verbally abusive to Corey. The revelation that the couple was faking their relationship status was the final straw for many fans who no longer wish to tune into their drama. Viewers are hoping that 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 3 marks the end of Corey and Evelin’s involvement in the franchise.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
