For years, 90 Day Fiancé star Angela Deem tried to keep the faith when it came to her relationship with Michael Ilesanmi, but life keeps throwing her curveballs – when Michael disappeared, it must have felt like the end of the world. Angela’s a fiery and outspoken woman whose hot temper has gotten her into trouble in the past. When she’s hurt or thwarted, Angie goes ballistic. However, she has such a soft spot for Michael, forgiving him over and over again… maybe too much.
Throughout her time in the franchise, 90 Day Fiancé’s Angela Deem has entertained viewers, even though she disturbs them sometimes. Viewers tune in because they want high drama and no one provides it like the Georgia peach. This moody Meemaw will stop at nothing to express herself and get her way, whether she’s shoving a strawberry shortcake into Michael’s face or attacking his car. Under all the female rage (the kind that author Gillian Flynn used to great effect in the novel, Gone Girl), there’s an ocean of sadness.
Michael is a disappointment and Angela’s put so much time and energy into her relationship.
Michael Ilesanmi Isn’t Missing Anymore
Michael Ilesanmi’s Disappearance Was Very Strange
From day one, Michael was an extremely poor romantic choice for Angela. She was getting on in years and should have avoided the Nigerian man. They met online, and clearly, he charmed the much-older woman. Maybe Angela was just lonely. She always saw the red flags and heard the alarm bells ringing – she just shut off the inner voice that was telling her to run. They married in 2020, and it took forever for Michael to actually make it to the USA. Once he got there, he started pushing Angela. He wanted a license – he wanted a Green Card.

Maybe Angela didn’t want him to have those things because she stalled. Probably, she thought that giving him what he wanted would make it easier for him to leave her. That’s quite sad really, but it may be true – perhaps he did want those things because he was planning to leave her.
The power games between this couple were a sign that their relationship was doomed. Angela tried to hold on too tightly to the man who had cheated on her… the man she always had suspicions about. Many times, she wondered if Michael was a scammer. Her intuition was probably dead-on but she ignored it. She’s profited from her romance with this younger guy – so maybe Angie’s crazy like a fox.
When Michael didn’t get what he wanted, he disappeared. Angela contacted the police – she was concerned because he’d left his possessions behind. However, he appears to have recorded a message letting the world know that he’s safe. He also told fans that he isn’t on social media.
Angela’s been venting online with barely cryptic posts. She seems so agitated. By now, she should know that Michael’s not in it for love, but she gets angry anyway. It might be better to cut all ties forever. Angela may be planning to do just that.
Angela’s said this could be it – that there’s no going back. When people start having these thoughts, they should probably cut ties.
It took forever for Angela to finally wake up, but maybe now she’s seeing what’s really happening. Her partner is using her and has been for a long time, if not the entire time. Michael’s looking for benefits, including licenses, Green Cards, and money. He is someone who has cheated on Angela. He is shady, but she’s no angel. Together, they are remarkably toxic.

therapy there is can’t fix what’s wrong. What’s wrong is his lack of love for her.
So, yes, this is probably one of the worst things that’s ever happened to Angela, if not the worst thing. However, it’s something that needed to happen. While Angela might be inclined to forgive Michael again because a roller-coaster relationship keeps her relevant in the franchise, she shouldn’t. The emotional cost is way too high. However, it has to be said that Angela may be playing a game too. In the clip below, she flirted with a handsome doctor even though Michael was her “true love.”
Angela loves Michael but it’s just not reciprocated. He’s a young guy and should be set free. She needs an older partner who appreciates everything that’s special about her. Angie has charisma – she’s a hothead, a funny woman, and a total star. A more mature man might appreciate the fire that always burns inside of Angela, rather than running from it. When she stays with Michael, all she’s doing is ensuring that she never has a real relationship. Angela can set herself free by getting this mess of a man out of her life. The relationship has always been absurd.
