Summary
- Fans are comparing newcomer Statler Riley to former 90 Day Fiancé cast member Steven Johnston for their controversial attitudes.

- While Steven has grown and matured in his relationship with Alina, fans are unsure if Statler will be able to do the same with her partner Dempsey.
Fans are comparing the newcomer Statler Riley to former 90 Day Fiancé franchise cast member Steven Johnston. The 33-year-old Texas woman has just appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days but has already become infamous for her attitude. Something similar happened to the Utah native Steven, who debuted on the franchise in 2021. The 25-year-old man immediately became controversial on the show for mistreating his 20-year-old Russian lover, Alina. From his sexual history of being with over 100 women to his lies, Steven was mocked throughout his appearance on the season.
Recently, fans have begun stating that new cast member Statler is as despicable as her fellow co-star, Steven. In a recent Reddit thread (via Saphira_Brightscales), a user posted a picture of the two reality TV stars and simply titled it, “Statler is just the female version of Steven.” As expected, most other viewers agreed with the sentiment and shared their views in the comment section. A Redditor wrote, “Statler is just crude, no filters, and you are right,” stating that the newcomer may be one of the grossest stars this season. Another Redditor agreed, “I think you may be on to something!Lol.”
Why Are 90 Day Fiancé Fans Comparing Statler & Steven?
Fans also discussed the main reasons why Statler and Steven are comparable. Someone pointed out, “Yep one has f***boi vibes and the other f***thei vibes.” According to the viewer, both cast members project similar vibes, especially considering their sexual histories. Statler seems proud of her past hookups, and Steven did the same when he was on the show. Another Redditor commented, “Both give me the creeps,” hinting that Statler and Steven seem creepy, especially compared to their partners. Statler is dating Dempsey, who fans consider an “absolute sweet soul.” Steven dated Alina, an innocent young woman looking for true love.
While fans may still resent Steven, he has grown a lot since appearing on the show. He has changed his personality after marrying Alina and settling down with her. His posts suggest that he has been putting much effort into giving his Russian wife the best husband she deserves. Steven has also cut his hair short, grown a beard, and matured in every way. He doesn’t shy away from showing his love for Alina at all. He shares cuddly photos with her, takes his wife on exotic trips, and celebrates special moments.
Newcomer Statler may also mature once she has settled down with Dempsey. Unfortunately, fans don’t have confidence in the 33-year-old woman as she seemingly isn’t compatible with her lovely British partner. If Statler wants to make her relationship with Dempsey work, she would need to understand her emotional side and know her on a deeper level. The Texas woman needs to figure out why her partner is somewhat introverted and lives on a farm. The new 90 Day Fiancé franchise star must relate to Dempsey’s future goals and help her recover from the tragic loss that scarred her life.
