90 Day Fiance: The Other Way star Evelin Villegas claims Corey Rathgeber staged the TLC reality show's scene in which he was shown being surprised and disappointed that she didn't meet him at the airport when he arrived in Ecuador with all his belongings.

According to Evelin, a 27-year-old from Engabao, Ecuador, she was just following Corey's request and he was the one who actually told her not to meet him at the airport when he arrived in the country hoping to remain there permanently.

Evelin made the allegation during a recent Instagram Live session in which she spilled a ton of tea about Corey -- including accusing him of being a boring, needy loser and a fame-hungry, attention seeker who now sees reality TV as his career.
"People complain about me not picking him up at the airport, [but] Corey is a great actor. That's all I'm going to say about that. He knew that I wasn't going to show up at the airport because he told me not to do it!," Evelin told her followers during an Instagram Live session earlier this month.

"And now everybody gives me crap for that. But whatever. Because I don't really care what people say about me, but I care about things that he does to me."
When the arrival scene aired on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way in late June, Corey, a 31-year-old from Mill A, WA, was shown being shocked and frustrated that Evelin wasn't waiting at the airport with a warm greeting -- and a ride -- when he arrived with all his belongings for his permanent move to the South American country.
Instead, Corey was shown calling Evelin on his phone and being told to figure out his own travel plans to Engabao.
"Sorry," Evelin was shown saying. "Take the bus."
"You're a big man and you can come all the way here," she told Corey over the phone.

Corey was shown saying it was "sketchy" and "dangerous" to take a bus to Engabao with all of his belongings since he had heard horror stories about people being robbed on the country's buses, but Evelin basically told him to suck it up and he'd be fine.
Evelin had faced a blacklash on social media after the arrival scene aired on TLC in late June, causing her to defend not meeting Corey at the airport.
"Don't be worry about Corey, he surely got a good welcome," Evelin wrote on Instagram at the time, along with a kiss emoji and photos of herself at the beach.
"Reasons may or may not be on the next episode," she added. "If they are not I'll probably explain later, for now keep watching and enjoy the show. Much love #90dayfiance #90dayfiancetheotherway #evilin."

During her recent Instagram Live session, Evelin also seemed to suggest her friend Raul had made up the allegations that were shown in another 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way episode in August in which Raul told Corey that Engabao's residents made fun of Corey and laughed about him behind his back.
"Nobody in my town called him names, that's just TV people. That's just TV! To make it juicy, to make it good," Evelin said.
"Everybody knows his name, everybody loves him. My family loves Corey, so much. Everybody loves him, because I have never, never speak badly about him. I want everybody to respect the man I'm with, and I want to be respected too," she continued.

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's season finale aired on TLC this past Monday and featured Corey -- who had been shown repeatedly hoping to marry Evelin even though she had insisted she wasn't interested in marriage -- proposing to Evelin, and Evelin appearing to reluctantly accept the proposal.
Part 1 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's two-part Tell-All reunion show will air Monday, October 14 at 9PM ET/PT.
During her Instagram Live session, Evelin also claimed Corey now craves social-media attention.
"Corey will do whatever is in his hands right now to get a little bit more attention, a little bit more," she said.
"Corey is losing it with this show! I don't even know who he is anymore. Like, he's not that guy I met."
According to Evelin, Corey now views reality TV as his career and their relationship eventually reached the point where she became unsure if he was only interested in continuing it to remain on television.
"He keeps calling me, he keeps telling me a bunch of stuff -- he keeps coming back and forth, and I'm just like, 'I just don't know who are you anymore. I don't know if you want to be with me because of the show or not.' And I said, I don't want to know anything about it," she told her Instagram followers.

"And now he's just looking for people to be with him and follow the same road. But are you seriously going to make your living out of [a] reality TV show? Like seriously? There's other things to do."
In addition, Evelin also claimed she had asked Corey to remain in Ecuador this past summer instead of returning to America to film 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's Tell-All reunion special.
However, Corey allegedly declined Evelin's request.

"It's just ridiculous. Because he left for the Tell All and he's just been trying and trying to convince me to be on the second season [of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way]. He trying and trying to get to have more of this fame," Evelin said during her Instagram Live session.
"And I was like, 'Just stay here, stay here with me, let's watch these episodes together.' Because I know there's going to be really hard on me. And I didn't want to be alone to see all of this. But he just wanted the fame and he went [back to America] and just like -- oh, I'm so upset," she continued.
Elevin also said she had only originally appeared on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way because Corey had pushed her to do it.
"Do not believe you know someone because you've seen them on a TV show. He is not all that you see. He was amazing, he really was. But this show has changed [him]," she said. "The man that I knew is just not there [anymore]. And I'm keeping myself. Because me is still me."
In addition, Evelin suggested the couple's engagement is off and said she will never marry Corey.
"I'm not gonna marry anyone," she revealed near the end of her live session. "I'm not gonna give him -- I'm not gonna have that white dress. And honestly, like we couldn't even afford anything."
