Varya Malina reveals TLC didn’t pay for her trip
Months after the finale was filmed, Varya revealed in an interview with Domenick Nati that TLC didn’t pay for anything to help her come to the U.S. She also didn’t pay for the trip with sponsored Instagram ads.
“I saved my money for my trip,” Varya explained, adding later that she works as a wedding planner.
When asked if TLC helped out with the plane ticket, Varya revealed that the network does not help out with anything, including money for the visa.
She explained that she spent about $200 on the visa process, and she paid for the plane ticket herself.
She also explained that she was talking to Geoffrey, and they were chatting about her coming to the United States. Then he stopped talking to her when she started the process of getting her visa and her ticket.
During their conversation, Dom asked her about promotions, asking whether she makes money from her Instagram. Varya explains that she’s shy and isn’t the perfect person to promote products for money.
