90 Day Fiancé: Angela Deem & Michael Ilesanmi’s 5 Biggest Scandals
90 Day Fiancé franchise star Angela Deem is a true villain who often mistreats Michael Ilseanmi. They’ve had some major scandals over the years.
Throughout their time on the show, 90 Day Fiancé viewers were no strangers to Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi’s dramatic antics, but some scenes stand out more than others. Since she was loud and overbearing, Angela came across as every man’s worst nightmare. When he supposedly fell for the Georgia peach, Michael never really stood a chance.
90 Day Fiancé‘s Angela Deem and Michael have always shared their tumultuous relationship with audiences. They starred on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days seasons 2 and 3, and they’ve had breakups due to trust issues. Trouble started after the Nigerian native admitted to cheating on Angela. He was unfaithful early on in their relationship. For a while, they tried to put their fights behind them, so they could focus on the future. Throughout their time in the franchise, Angela was often seen preparing for Michael’s arrival in the United States, but his visa kept being denied. The “meemaw” often traveled to Nigeria, for visits that weren’t exactly peaceful.
590 Day Fiancé’s Michael Is A Cheater
It never seemed like Angela and Michael’s relationship would last, due to his flirtations with other women, and the fact that he lived in another country. One way or another, their relationship appeared to be doomed. During 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 7, a friend of Michael and Angela’s alerted the meemaw about some infidelity. The pal revealed that Michael had been two-timing his wife since her last visit to Nigeria.
The friend shared that Michael had been communicating with the women on Instagram, which came as a surprise, since Angela was so strict about limiting Michael’s social media activity. At the time, they had a shared profile. Sadly, the claims were backed up by screenshots and voice messages. After the affair scandal broke, Angela had no choice but to admit that she was going to file for divorce. She announced this at the Tell-All, noting, “That doesn’t mean I’m gonna sign.”
490 Day Fiancé’s Michael Wants A Baby
It’s easy to say that 90 Day Fiancé viewers were knocked off their feet when Michael proclaimed that he wanted a child with the now 56-year-old Georgia native. Angela already had children. The mature woman wasn’t really interested in having more kids. However, Michael desperately wanted to become a father. While it may have been a ploy to have an anchor baby in the United States, Michael explained at the time that having kids in Nigeria was a big thing in his culture. It meant that his name would be carried on.
During season 5, TLC fans watched Angela and Michael’s fairytale wedding. Even though they took that important step, there was still a huge hurdle to clear, which was Angela conceiving a baby. The season showed the pair speaking with a fertility specialist, and learning that the reality TV star had no eggs left. That signified that she couldn’t have a biological child. After being denied eggs from her daughter, Skyla Deem, Angela opted to forego IVF. Instead, she had weight loss surgery, which made Michael and his family extremely upset.
390 Day Fiancé’s Michael Dislikes Angela’s Weight Loss Surgery
Angela had never been the healthiest person, but she had decided to make a change for the better, and expected her 90 Day Fiancé husband Michael to support her emotionally. Sadly, the Nigerian didn’t do that, and instead left his wife feeling worse than she had after her surgery. Angela had explained to TLC cameras that she was at a crossroads, revealing that she felt she might die if she didn’t do something drastic soon. She also decided to have her breasts redone during the procedure, which left Michael speechless, and not in a good way.
While Michael tried his best to reassure his wife, he had his own reservations, which he shared during a 90-Day Fiancé confessional. Michael was first afraid that his wife would end up with smaller breasts, and was afraid that he wouldn’t like what he saw after the procedure was complete. However, the main reason for Michael’s lack of excitement stemmed from the fact that many Nigerian citizens have died from these forms of plastic surgery procedures. This made him feel like Angie was risking, “it all” for a quick fix.
290 Day Fiancé’s Michael Has Been Abused By Angela
On more than one occasion, the 90 Day Fiancé star has been accused of verbally abusing her former husband, Michael. While airing their story on a new spin-off, 90 Day Journey, on Discovery+, the volatile due Angela and Michael showed how troubled their relationship had become. Over the years, Angela successfully isolated Michael from his family and friends, often called, “the goofballs” onscreen.
Angela always found a way to tear Michael down, and frequently convinced the TV star that he was the problem in their relationship. It’s been hard to watch Michael’s self-esteem plummet. He started out confident, but his last appearance showed a major personality shift. Angela also assaulted Michael with cake by shoving it into his face. The altercation took place near the same dock where Michael had posed for a photo with another woman. In an attempt to apologize, Michael showed up with a strawberry shortcake, but was left wearing most of it.
190 Day Fiancé’s Angela’s Racist Remarks
During an earlier season of 90 Day Fiancé, Angela was accused of being racist toward Michael. According to a Reddit thread started by u/lmdaley90, the dynamic in Michael and Angela’s relationship was based on power, with Angela feeling she was above Michael in every way. The thread participant noted that Angela doesn’t see Michael as her, “equal.” Even though she didn’t call Michael any derogatory names on camera, she was often recorded yelling at him. For example, she called him a, “bit*h.”
Angela has been called out often for her racist remarks. Most recently, 90 Day Fiancé fans got worked up after seeing a social media post, where Angela was seen posing (via devilyn_side) with her plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael K. Obeng, and another doctor, Lawton Tang. The picture had the caption, “Once you go, Black, you never go Back, But once you go Y*****, you Never do Another Fellow.” The notion stirred up immense disgust among TLC followers. Thankfully, rumors has it that Michael is no longer married to Angela. If so, he doesn’t have to deal with her outbursts anymore.
