Now, Sarper says he’s ready to move on.

[The Last Resort] was definitely one of the most difficult and emotionally exhausting experiences of my life,” he wrote on his Instagram on September 15. “I didn’t even watch a single episode because it brought back memories I wasn’t really ready to revisit: the arguments, the stress, and everything we were going through at the time.”

“The final episode has aired, and I’m honestly relieved that chapter is over,” he added.

Shekinah also shared a video of Sarper saying that he loved her during The Last Resort recommitment ceremony. 

“When the ego fades I hope you realize how you handled this. It wasn’t strength, it was cowardly, destructive, humiliating, deceptive, and above all a deep betrayal,” she captioned the post. “I learned last night that you only recommitted that day because you felt pity for me, and you did this speech while simultaneously planning to leave me later.”

Shekinah accused Sarper of signing on for The Last Resort as “promo for [his] comedy career” not because he wanted to save their marriage.

“The deepest wounds don’t come from enemies,” she wrote. “They come from the ones who promised to protect your heart.”
