Michael Ilesanmi, known for his tumultuous relationship with Angela Deem on 90 Day Fiancé, may have run his
course with the franchise. Their romance, fraught with issues and recently ended, has left many questioning if a
return would be beneficial for either party. Michael’s actions on the show have made him a controversial figure.
While his initial charm won Angela over, his behavior after arriving in the United States suggests ulterior motives.
The age gap between Michael, 35, and Angela, 56, contributed to their problems. Their differing life stages created a dynamic prone to conflict. While Michael may have initially seemed caring, signs pointed to a hidden agenda focused on advancing his career through an older partner. Their seven-year relationship was marked by constant disagreements, often fueled by Angela’s quick temper and occasional physical outbursts. Despite not retaliating physically, Michael sometimes provoked her jealousy.
Angela’s insecurities were evident when she discovered Michael’s involvement in a Facebook group called “Paradise Men,” which allegedly helped Nigerian men connect with American women for green cards. Critics viewed this group as a scam, accusing Michael of exploiting American women. While Michael denied any wrongdoing, claiming the group was simply a place for men to admire the U.S., the controversy damaged his reputation.
Since his breakup with Angela, Michael has been active on Instagram, seemingly enjoying his time in the U.S. However, a video suggested potential financial difficulties, hinting that the cost of living in America might be higher than he anticipated. Having previously sold smartphones in Nigeria, he might be struggling to adapt to the expenses in the US, especially now that he is no longer receiving money from Angela. It is very possible that he is struggling to make ends meet as a result of his inability to secure a reliable source of employment.
Given his potential financial struggles, Michael might be tempted to return to reality television for income. However, focusing on improving his financial stability might be more beneficial than seeking another relationship on the show. He may find himself seeking the wrong things in a relationship and become entangled in problematic unions, which would result in challenges he does not want to endure.
Angela, despite the heartbreak, is trying to move on. Fans took sides during their split, with many supporting Michael, which angered Angela. He even started a GoFundMe campaign to cover potential legal expenses related to Angela’s alleged threats of deportation. Michael’s return to the show could be painful for Angela. She deserves sympathy and the possibility that she will never be with him again.
The threat of deportation looms over Michael. After building a life in the U.S., the possibility of it being taken away could be devastating. While Angela’s threats might be dramatic, the fact that Michael launched a GoFundMe suggests he takes them seriously. After years of suffering at Angela’s hands his fans were keen to support him as a result of the verbal abuse he endured.
Furthermore, rumors of Michael’s infidelity have surfaced, with Angela accusing him of having an affair. Whether these claims are true or not, focusing on these existing relationships rather than seeking new partnerships on television might be a better course of action. The claim that Michael is in a love triangle should not be made without evidence that can support the claim.
Finally, Michael’s lack of steady employment should be addressed before considering another stint on 90 Day Fiancé. Securing a stable job would not only provide financial security but also offer a sense of accomplishment and potentially rehabilitate his image. He needs to sell electrical goods and provide a stable source of income for himself. The franchise would be better off if Michael returned with a new career which would make it more exciting.
His past disloyalty to Angela, including allegations of cheating, makes him a questionable choice for the show. While it’s possible he has changed, his past behavior raises concerns. Angela’s attempts to control Michael’s social media use and his transactional promises to close his accounts revealed the unrealistic dynamic of their relationship. A 90 Day Fiancé should be casting respectable people instead of those who have been proved to cheat.
