I can’t decide who is more ridiculous out of this couple. Justin is a transphobic dating a trans woman. It is obvious he is repulsed by her. Nikki not only looks ridikkulous but is not right in the head for dating a transphobic guy and then thinks it somehow socially acceptable to meet his friends and immediately start complaining to them that Justin won’t eat her out. Kudos to the friend standing at the bar listening to all this without barfing into her drink.
Nikki is the type of trans person that the conservatives warned us about 😂
Completely agree. Igor is not attracted to her. Nikki comes off as obnoxious and entitled. She is over the top.
and telling his friends she used to suk D for a living.Igor.
Calling eastern cultures transphobic is xenophobic.
Nilki doesnt seem to have a filter and cant read the room. She barely knew those people and yet told her entire life story in 10 mins. No boundaries whatsoever.
It’s as if they asked for it 🫣
This was seriously so cringe. Like I’m all for hearing someone’s life story but there’s a time and a place. I agree she has no idea how to read a room and is very self absorbed.
That is so much to dump on anyone you’re meeting for the first time. Like trauma dump feels like at least a private location conversation
Igor’s friends are the most kind well mannered people ever. The fact that they reacted with sympathy at her sex work story was not what I expected and warmed my heart.
I don’t care if they were faking it either. We don’t get to see this often on this show.
Actually, every Moldovan we’ve seen on screen, other than Andrei, has been kind and polite. Maybe that’s the real reason he left. They kicked him out for rudeness.
OT: I like Andrei. And he and Libby have a good relationship.
I loved the atmosphere in the room as well.
That’s exactly what I thought. Besides both of them being shit people and just categorizing the night, I thought it went well regardless of the TMI & his POV.
TMI she speaks way too much when it’s not appropriate for these people just matter and they don’t need to know those details. It’s none of their business and it’s actually too much for anybody to hear when they’re living in conservative country. I think if she stopped the money, Igor or Justin would not be dealing with her not because she’s trans. It’s her being a sex pest constant complaining and talking nonstop and she’s very demanding.
Holy crap. I was like - wtf!! Am I really watching this???
Igor is not transphobic. He was traumatized by a trans person who utterly betrayed his trust, so now he’s having a hard time getting past that trauma. He was in a sexual relationship that required his consent and knowledge of the fact that the person he was having sex with is trans. He was not given the opportunity to give informed consent, which to me is another form of sexual assault. Her expecting him to have any enthusiasm about engaging sexually with his assailant/the person who sexually traumatized him is beyond bonkers. This ain’t a soap opera, they ain’t Luke and Laura, and people don’t tend to fall in love with the person who sexually traumatized them. Igor is doing his best to get beyond the trauma, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I’d give him credit for trying, but I’m still uncertain of his motives, so I’ll hold off on that unless/until he shows some genuine emotional connection to her. But if he can’t, Nikki has nobody but herself to blame. She weaponized being trans to devastate him during a spat. I just don’t see how they get past that.
Fckn FACTS right here. ☝️☝️
This 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 thank you. I’m seriously surprised there isn’t more uproar about this. To me I was completely shocked and mortified when Nikki said that she kept that from him until they got into a fight, then pretty much just threw it in his face like “well guess what? I used to be a man!” Like that’s some sort of joke. If I was a young guy I would be absolutely traumatized by that bc that is such a huge deception and betrayal, and I really do consider that a form of sexual assault. Nikki can say “I just didn’t want to feel rejected”. Well igor/Justin should have at least had the option or opportunity to make that decision. Absolutely terrible
It absolutely is sexual assault. Anyone who disagrees needs to listen to/watch the whole scenario again. I asked my husband what he would do if someone did that to him at that age… he said the first thing he’d do would probably be to cry & I don’t blame him OR Igor. That doesn’t make them transphobic… it means the person values honesty and bodily autonomy… (which EVERYONE should 🤷🏼♀️)
Lol exactly having sex with someone and not telling them your real sex is sexual assault
In my country a few people have been murdered because of this it’s not because they are trans they have slept with men and not disclosed
Later they find out and bad shit happens
If I was a young guy I would be absolutely traumatized by that bc that is such a huge deception and betrayal, and I really do consider that a form of sexual assault.
But she told him before she arrived. Most likely years ago.
Dude didn’t refuse her money.
YES. THIS. What I really want are the details of the argument that led up to her spilling the secret. Was it an argument over dishes, or was it him saying he didn’t want to be with her for whatever reason and her going full nuclear on his ass.
I remember reading that the argument had something to do with them differing on what they considered gender roles when he came to the US on the K1 Visa. Nikki accused Igor of being lazy and not helping with the housework and apparently when he replied something like it was “woman’s work” she snapped and told him that she used to be a man.
That’s wild.
My ex-husband was stationed overseas for a year. There was an incident where someone a few bases over went out into town and picked up a girl. Only to find out later it was a man. The guy beat the shit out of the trans woman when he found out. I don’t remember the exact details of it, but he may have even killed her. It didn’t even happen at the base my ex was on, but no one was allowed to go out into town for a good long while after this happened.
It’s just crazy to me to put yourself in a situation like that when you absolutely don’t know how someone is going to react to what they’re hearing. That’s not a small thing to drop in someone’s lap, and Nikki just shrugs it off and almost laughs.
The ultimate fofo.
Thank you for saying you believe it was a form of sexual assault. I wanted to pose this as a question but wasn’t sure how without sounding biased. I absolutely believe that without consent, it was a form of sexual assault. That is something that can warp someone’s mind for life. At the very least, they need professional intervention. I don’t think that will happen and I’m not sure it would fix anything. Both of them need to process their understanding of what a relationship is because what is going on there is sick. It’s really really dysfunctional on so many levels. I’m uncertain of Igor’s motives at this point as well. These two are definitely toxic with one another and are horrible partners. Nikki has no redeeming qualities to me at this point. Like you, all I see is an abuser trying to mold their victim into an imagined identity. Yeah, not a soap opera. Real humans facing real life consequences.
I like this! You worded it better than I could. Totally agree 👍
Informed consent is: “I’d like to touch your genitals, do you have a preference on the type of touch you like?” Informed consent is NOT: a detailed history of any and all medical procedures or body modifications. Disclosing information that may endanger them (trans ppl are statistically more likely to be victims than abusers).
For any cis ppl still confused, pls outline at which point you explicitly describe your gender presentation and genitals to potential sexual partners, what type of history you provide as to their shape or function, etc. Nikki being a reality show stereotype doesn’t negate the reality of how trans ppl exist in actual reality.
Luke and Laura, I’m dying over here!! I agree that he was traumatized, he even said as much when he said he sometimes can’t get past the fact that Nikki was a man and still dominates certain aspects.
This!!!
Touché!
THIS!!! 👏👏👏🎯💯
You’re right!
She is the female Ed. so classless. not good looking . over the top surgery. huge lips, bally cheeks, too big boobs and extra fat ass. she would have looked so much nicer had she not gone overboard. and why would anyone relate their sexual activities or lack thereof to someone they just met?
Everything about Nikki borders on abusive to Igor.
She lied about everything, slept with him when he was underage, which even with another adult is not allowing them to appropriately consent…… doesn’t even call him by his actual name, just decided his name should be Justin. And to top it all off has some really intense sexual expectations that she is not willing to compromise on, and seems to enjoy shaming him and manipulating him in public.
Not to mention the lack of understanding of their cultural differences, which drives me crazy with 95% of these “couples”
I also wonder, is it truly transphobic for a man to struggle sleeping with the a trans woman? I think he seems to be really working on his complicated feelings surrounding that, given his culture and background— idk I think he’s trying, and it would be better for her to help him process his feelings about her genitalia in a kinder more understanding way? It’s strange to me that she seems more upset by his not wanting to go down on her than his nazi uniform??
I am so glad that you mentioned this. Both Justin and Nikki are in their masculine energies, no wonder Justin isn’t able to have sex with her comfortably. He seems like he needs someone who is gentle, soft, caring, feminine, someone soft. She is the complete opposite. It also seems like she enjoys being this way, and doesn’t understand why he is turned off by it. Everything about her is so aggressive and so blunt Even down to her pointy nails and her bold choice of clothing, and how she just portrays herself in public. Obviously, we’re just is from a significantly more conservative, but even where I am from in America people would probably turn their heads when they see someone like her given how much surgery she had and how out there she is.
I didn’t see their whole story line, and knew of an age difference but didn’t realize it was that big and that she’d slept with him before he was an adult. Combined with the name situation, holy shit.
Just. Holy shit.
The name thing weirds me out so bad.
How can you be like “his real name is Igor! Gross! So I changed it to Justin” 😳 I think there’s a lost in translation thing because that seems so immature and disrespectful. It could be a family named passed from beloved relatives or just what his parents decided. How weird!
That’s what I’ve said before in other posts. His name was not his choice and it’s not ok to make fun of someone’s name. Like you said, it could be a family name that has great meaning to his ancestry. Changing his name because you don’t like his real one is just cringe.
Trans lay tion
She keeps going off on him for trying to hide her when it seems very obvious that he’s just trying to protect her in what seems like a very trans hostile conservative foreign country.
And she wants to hide his real name
Her being transgender isn’t immediately obvious. what is obvious is the plastic surgery that’s given her an alien appearance that’s not quite human anymore.
She’s got to have some sort of fat transfer or something in her thighs right? They look like stuffed sausages. Like she’s really going for that Barbie look. Because where you’ll see a lot of BBLs don’t match their legs. Hers are just… inflated? Idk. I feel bad for people who have body dismorphia or whatever causes people to keep getting more and more surgery. 😩😩
When she said “I just got clocked!” Like they knew she was trans. No they just are seeing someone who looks like a 60year old who is getting wild amounts of surgery to try and look 47 (think that’s her age). The crazy amount of surgeries is what they “clocked” 🤦🏽♀️
They were literally looking directly into the camera. Haha.
Thats the thing, they were probably wondering why a filming crew was there.
I think Igor is trying to work through his attraction issues and there’s just no way Nikki’s face helps, imo.
Nikki also looks really bad demanding sex and putting all that pressure on sex. Igor is trying to emotionally connect (which, yes, is prob just to distract from his discomfort with physical stuff) and she’s just pressuring him for sex. Not a good look.
What she did to this man by hiding the fact that she is trans is, as far as I’m concerned, full on SA.
What did Andrei say about this couple?
I’ve got to know too, I was just saying this! I am dying to know! Also would like to hear Michael and Angela’s take on Molly and and Wayne lol and while we’re at it, let’s hear what Jenny and Sumit have to say about T.J. and Kimberly.
How is Igor a transphobe? He has not displayed that at all
