Shekinah Garner, star of TLC’s “90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way,” has spoken out in defense of her fiancé Sarper following public backlash over his revelation of having slept with more than 2,500 women. In a recent interview in Los Angeles, Garner addressed the controversy, condemning the slut-shaming her partner has faced while also expressing her own reservations about his past.
Garner emphasized the problematic nature of slut-shaming in modern society, praising Sarper for his honesty in disclosing his sexual history. However, she admitted that the revelation has led to trust issues in their relationship, particularly when she’s away from their home in Turkey.
The controversy arose during a ’90 Day Fiancé’ tell-all episode, where Sarper casually mentioned his extensive sexual history. This disclosure sparked intense reactions from fans and fellow cast members alike. Sarper stated during the tell-all that he wasn’t proud of his past promiscuity, but also insisted that Shekinah not disclose her own sexual history.
Addressing her life in Turkey, Garner provided insights into their current living situation and discussed whether she views the move as permanent. She acknowledged the challenges they face as a couple, including the cultural differences and the impact of Sarper’s past on their relationship.
The couple’s journey and the ongoing fallout from this revelation will be featured in the new season of “90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way,” premiering Monday on TLC. As Garner and Sarper continue to navigate their relationship in the public eye, viewers can expect to see how they address these trust issues and cultural differences.
This controversy highlights the complex dynamics often explored in reality TV relationships, particularly those involving international couples, and raises questions about societal attitudes towards sexual history and gender double standards.
