'90-Day Fiancé's' Nikki Exotika Deserves Better Igor "Justin" Shutenkov
Nikki Exotika is a strong and proud transgender woman, and Justin Shutenkov’s treatment of her is nothing more than cowardice on ‘90-Day Fiancé.’
This season of 90-Day Fiancé brought a lot of conflict between the various couples featured. Jasmine and Gino's stripper issue was a big point of contention, and in part two of the reunion special, the focus shifted to Nikki Exotika and Igor “Justin” Shutenkov. All the couples did make their way down the aisle, save for Nikki and Justin. The pair have had an on-again-off-again relationship for 17 years, very different from the typical 90-Day Fiancé couple. The first time they met was through a dating site in Moldova, and they quickly fell in love. They were happy and even planning on getting married on the reality show, even going through the K-1 Visa process. Justin even moved to the US for the 90-day process, but their relationship came to an abrupt end, and they moved back to Moldova. Nikki had hidden the fact that she is a transgender woman from him and let the fact slip out during an argument. Nikki shared in an interview, “I traumatized him. And he went home, and he was depressed for a really long time. And I felt bad about that.” Despite their romantic relationship ending, the pair stayed in touch over the years as friends.
