Summary
Angela and Mary had a toxic relationship from the beginning, fueled by jealousy and distrust. Brandan’s mom, Angela, felt that Mary had isolated her son and would make his life a living hell. Despite their initial animosity, Angela and Mary appeared to have reconciled at Brandan and Mary’s wedding, as seen in their selfie together.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way’s Mary Demasu-ay didn’t see eye to eye with fiancé Brandan Denuccio’s mother, Angela, before they met. Brandan, 23, met Mary, 23, when he was in a vulnerable state. Brandan lived with his mom until he was 15 when she lost custody due to a failed drug test. Brandan was sent to his father’s house, but he left and lived in multiple places, such as his truck, for two months. Brandan was 21 when his godparents took him in. It was also when he met Mary, who lived in the Philippines, on a dating app.
Brandan’s mom and Mary disliked each other from the start. In 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5, episode 1, Angela tried to make Brandan realize that their relationship was built on jealousy and distrust. Mary wasn’t allowing Brandan to see Angela because Angela had female roommates. Brandan wasn’t even allowed to see his stepsister. Angela labeled the relationship toxic and was against Brandan moving to the Philippines. She had already lost 10 years of her life to her addiction. His mother was trying to rebuild her relationship with Brandan when Mary entered the picture.
