Mary Demasu-ay and Brandan Denuccio were criticized by fans after they were caught mistreating their pet monkey Lucy, and their response to the allegations was not well received.
The other way season 5 cast members are trying to profit from their 15 minutes of fame to become social media influencers. Every week, they post "vlog" type of videos on their Instagram accounts and YouTube channel, and describe their life as an International young couple living in the Philippines. In many of their recent videos, they were showing off their pet monkey Lucy, who was left alone outside under the sun.
The wild animal was always tied with a heavy chain around her waist or neck, while waiting for her owners to give her food and water. Mary and Brandan weren't aware that they were mistreating the Monkey, and not providing her with a proper living conditions, until they were called out by the 90 day fiancé fans. The show fans went to social media platforms like Reddit and Instagram to make their voice heard, and threatened to call the local authorities on them. Not only the fans, but also Statler from before the 90 days season 6 was mad at the immature and careless young couple. Besides working a full time job and being on reality tv, Statler also happens to be a dedicated animal rights activist.
To clear hers and Brandan's names, this is what Mary told to one of her fans, who asked her about whether the monkey was set free or still chained to a tree:" We have set the monkey free before. But people here are scared of the monkey and threatened to k*ll it, so we put her back on a chain to keep her safe. Thanks for your support".
