90 Day Fiance star Deavan Clegg has admitted she's "moved on" from estranged husband Jihoon Lee and claims he called her and her children "vile things" and she's sick of his lies.

Deavan posted a photo of a man holding her one-year-old son Taeyang in his arms Wednesday on Instagram and captioned it, "What a beautiful little town. Always love exploring. #90dayfiance #90dayfiancetheotherway #mountains #wrightwood."

The mystery man -- who is believed to be Deavan's new boyfriend -- and Taeyang were wearing matching red plaid shirts, but Deavan cropped out the man's head as to not reveal his identity.
However, Jihoon confirmed last month his relationship with Deavan is over and Deavan has a new Korean boyfriend, who is reportedly a Korean-American actor named Christopher "Topher" Park who was born in Los Angeles.

Amid backlash from many of her followers, Deavan commented on the photo and gave people a piece of her mind.
Although she didn't mention Jihoon by name, Deavan wrote of her ex, "I'm just going to say something... I'm blocked on social media, my number is blocked. I've reached out, sent photos of my son with no replies. I've tried and offered to come to Korea. I'm sick of being blamed when I'm the one trying to co-parent."
"I was told several times to just pretend it never happened because that's what this certain person wants," she continued.
"I'm the one who paid for all the hospital bills, I'm the one who paid for everything in Korea, I'm the one still supporting my son with no help. So why [am] I being attacked? Because I moved on? Because I was tired of being used and not getting any help in return?"
Deavan insisted she's been "doing everything" to keep her family together and preserve their happiness considering Jihoon is in South Korea and she is currently living in Utah.

"I tried and this person has said some vile things about my son and has blocked anyway of me getting in contact to even send photos of my son? But yet you guys attack me?" asked Deavan, who is also mom to five-year-old Drascilla from a previous relationship.
"You don't know what happened behind close doors. You don't know the type of evil that happened. I'm sick of being attacked and blamed and being told I'm [a] horrible person and I took my son away. You guys don't know the half of it. My daughter is healing and I'm healing. Wait till the Tell All, I'm tired of this."
Without giving specific details away, Deavan revealed that Jihoon had allegedly hurt her very badly.
"Something bad happened that can never be forgiven. I tried to co-parent but that's kind of hard to do when the other person has deleted any type of way to get in contact. Also kind of difficult when the only time he contacts you is to call you degrading vile names," Deavan wrote.

"He's told me time and time again he just wants to pretend it didn't happen and has called me, my son, Drascilla vile things. I'm done. I'm sick of the lies. I'm sick of pretending it's okay. I'm done."
Earlier this week, Deavan posted a different photo of Taeyang along with another lengthy rant against Jihoon that she has since edited and removed.
Deavan questioned 90 Day Fiance fans on why they're giving her a hard time when she believes Jihoon is to blame for their problems. She also accused Jihoon of deleting her and her kids from his memory.

"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 complained.

Deavan's "piece of paper" comment is presumably a reference to her non-disclosure agreement with TLC and 90 Day Fiance's producers, which limits her ability to discuss the events of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's second season before the remainder of the season airs on the network later this year.
She added, "This certain person has said time and time again they want nothing to do with [Taeyang] which breaks my heart... His lies have put us in danger... He did the most vile thing possible and that's why we are here. Yet we are the ones harassed and stuck hiding away?"
Deavan also seemed furious Jihoon was allegedly receiving sympathy from his Instagram followers.
"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 said on Instagram 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."
Deavan reportedly wrote on Twitter in August 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."
Deavan also previously 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 had been on the rocks for months prior to their split.
"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."
When Jihoon subsequently confirmed he and Deavan had broken up and she quickly moved on with a new man, he said, "I can't believe it," but still wished her happiness.
90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's second season premiered on TLC in June and began with a "flash forward" scene in which Deavan was shown waiting out the coronavirus pandemic while living in South Korea.
The footage was filmed earlier this year, around February or March, and was seemingly originally intended for TLC's 90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined spinoff, which aired this past spring and showed viewers how various cast members of the 90 Day Fiance franchise were coping with the coronavirus pandemic.
But speculation began to swirl that Deavan and Jihoon's relationship was over when 90 Day Fiance fans learned she had reportedly returned to the United States with her children in May.

Deavan's mother Elicia, however, initially 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 was also 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."
