90 Day Fiance star Deavan Clegg claims Jihoon Lee did "the most vile thing possible" that made her want to return to the United States and her estranged husband "wants nothing to do" with their son Taeyang.

Deavan, 23, has been lashing out at Jihoon on social media ever since Jihoon confirmed on Instagram last month their relationship is over and Deavan has a new Korean boyfriend.

Earlier this week, Deavan posted a photo of one-year-old Taeyang along with a lengthy rant against Jihoon -- although she did not identify him by name -- on Instagram that she has since deleted and edited.

"I hate how everyone thinks I'm taking you away from a certain someone. When in reality I tried my best, yet that certain someone hasn't called, texted, or asked about you in weeks," Deavan wrote, suggesting that Jihoon doesn't care about his child.

"And the little money they gave to you they asked for back. People are attacking us for a man who attacked us. But the truth always come out. Seeing someone play victim and pretend and lie ... I'm sick of the lies. I'm sick of pretending because I'm scared of a piece of paper."

Deavan, who is currently living in Utah, went on to insist she's not preventing Jihoon in South Korea from seeing his son.

"Anyways I'm not keeping my child from a certain person. I gave this certain person a chance and was willing to work out something. This certain person has said time and time again they want nothing to do with you which breaks my heart, but yet this certain person will sit back and lie and pretend," Deavan alleged.

"While you and I are currently hiding away because his lies have put us in danger. It's sad how someone can say they will just pretend you don't [exist] and then use you for sympathy again. Why is no one questioning him?"

Deavan continued, "He deleted your memory, he has blocked anyway of getting in contact, he did the most vile thing possible and that's why we are here. Yet we are the ones harassed and stuck hiding away? Makes no sense I don't understand humanity. Anyways I'll leave it at that."

Deavan subsequently edited the post to just read, "My little guitarist #90dayfiance #90dayfiancetheotherway #koreanamerican #mixedbaby."

When Deavan accused Jihoon of looking for "sympathy," she might have been referring to his recent posts about their breakup on Instagram Stories.

"I want [to] be [Taeyang's] father. [Deavan says] I can see Taeyang every summer or December. I just feel so sick and lonely. Just, I want [to] talk to anything, anyone," Jihoon told his followers late last month, according to In Touch Weekly.

"It feels like, just [a] dream. Feels like [a] dream right now, this all happened. Just [a] dream. I can't believe this situation. I hope this situation [is] just [a] dream."

Last month, Deavan reportedly wrote on Twitter she had "moved back" to the United States for a "horrible reason."

"[The] truth will come out eventually," Deavan wrote in a since-deleted tweet, according to In Touch.

"You all really believe everything you see on TV," she added. "You guys don't know the truth or half of it."

She also vented on Instagram Stories about how 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way viewers know very little about her struggles in 2020, suggesting her relationship with Jihoon has been on the rocks for months.

"If you guys only knew the disgusting things that happened this year off camera," Deavan wrote.

"If you knew everything going on in this very moment. Knew what I'm doing and going through, the scars that happen this year. Enjoy the show. #90dayfiance."

Jihoon subsequently confirmed he and Deavan had split and she's already moved on with a new man in her life.

"Yeah, she has [a] new boyfriend. I saw that post. So, wow. I can't believe it, oh my God. Wow. Yeah, just. My plan is [to] just focus on myself," Jihoon said.

Deavan sparked rumors she's in a new relationship weeks ago when she posted a photo with a mystery man on her Instagram Stories. His face, however, was cropped out of the picture and then Deavan quickly deleted the post.


The man in the photo believed to be Deavan's new boyfriend is a Korean-American actor named Christopher "Topher" Park, In Touch reported.

Born in Los Angeles, Topher studied theater at the University of California, Riverside and graduated in the 2015 class. He has had small acting roles, mostly in short films ever since.

"So we are [living] our own life, Deavan [lives her] life. Me, [I] live my life. And I'm not [looking for] a new girl right now. Just, later. Or, just single," Jihoon reportedly said on Instagram.

"I want my ex and her boyfriend, just [to] be happy. Cause [it's] her choice and [that's the] way she [thinks] [she] will be happy and I'm just [going to] walk to my own way. But we're still Taeyang's parents."

Jihoon and Deavan, who is also mom to five-year-old daughter Drascilla from a previous relationship, currently star on Season 2 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way on TLC. At the beginning of the season, Deavan was shown waiting out the coronavirus pandemic while living in South Korea.

The footage filmed earlier this year, around February or March, and was seemingly intended for TLC's 90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined spinoff.

But speculation began to swirl that Deavan and Jihoon's relationship was over when she reportedly returned to the United States with her children in May.

Deavan's mother Elicia, however, led fans to believe there wasn't trouble in paradise.

Elicia revealed on social media in late July that Deavan was just visiting America with her two kids and got "stuck" in Utah due to COVID-19 while Jihoon remains in South Korea.

"She is visiting here, but the travel restrictions have forced her to be here longer," Elicia reportedly wrote, adding, "[Deavan and Drascilla] are stuck here until travel restrictions are lessened because of the virus."

But it now appears Elicia was just trying to create a cover story to avoid 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way spoilers on the current status of Deavan and Jihoon's relationship.

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's second season has shown Deavan repeatedly forgiving Jihoon for his mistakes and trying to make a life work with him in South Korea.

Not only did Jihoon lie to Deavan about having a lot of money saved for his family, but he also was dishonest about working a full-time, high-paying job. Jihoon's lack of parenting skills with Drascilla and Taeyang only added to the couple's issues.

Deavan decided to give Jihoon a second chance under the expectation he would find a permanent apartment for them to live, make and save money, and better support and provide for his family.

"All of the actions you have done show me that you don't want a family life," Deavan told her husband in a recent 90 Day Fiance broadcast. "If you want to have your freedom, you can have your freedom."

"You guys are more important to me," Jihoon replied, referring to Drascilla and Taeyang. "I'll become a better dad because I really love you guys."

Many 90 Day Fiance fans have taken a side in Deavan and Jihoon's breakup, with Deavan revealing she and her mother have received hateful messages on social media in regards to Drascilla and how she's been raised.

Deavan has lashed out at people criticizing her parenting skills, or alleged lack thereof, and excusing Jihoon's actions, like when he let go of Drascilla's hand at a playground and allowed her to run towards a street.

Jihoon recently asked trolls to leave Deavan and Elicia alone, saying, "They're probably having a harder time than I am. I heard that Elicia and Drascilla [are] under threat of murder. It is 100% wrong. I am begging you guys, I just want peace."
