Michael Denies Angela’s Allegations Of Fraud

Michael is throwing accusations right back at Angela, claiming she put him through “cruel treatment” and “physical and mental abuse” during their rocky marriage, court documents reveal. Oh, and he’s also asking for spousal support—because why not?

Angela, 58, filed for an annulment from Michael, 36, back in June, accusing him of marrying her just to secure that golden ticket into the U.S. But Michael, who clearly isn’t ready to let Angela have the last word, shot back in an August 21 legal filing.

He denied all her fraud claims and argued that their split doesn’t qualify for an annulment because, according to him, they’re still in a “lawful marriage.”

Michael Wants Permanent Spousal Support

As if things weren’t dramatic enough, Michael also alleges that Angela’s abusive behavior wasn’t just limited to private moments but even spilled over while they were filming the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. Now, he’s asking the court for a fair split of their assets and for both “temporary and permanent spousal support.” Michael is clearly gearing up for a full-on legal battle.

Angela’s accusations against Michael are equally explosive. She claims he fraudulently lured her into marriage just to gain permanent residency in the U.S. and even went so far as to accuse him of conspiring with other Nigerian men to scam unsuspecting Americans into marriage. But Michael maintains their marriage was the real deal.

Since their reality TV debut in 2018, the couple has been a lightning rod for controversy, from their tumultuous relationship to explosive arguments caught on camera. The pair eventually tied the knot in 2020 in Nigeria, and after what seemed like an eternity, Michael finally moved to the U.S. in December 2023.

But their wedded bliss didn’t last long. Angela revealed earlier this year that Michael had gone missing, only for him to be found later that day, claiming he had fled their home out of “fear for his life.”

As Angela’s annulment filing continues to make headlines, Michael isn’t just sitting on the sidelines. He’s been asking fans for financial support through a GoFundMe campaign to cover his mounting legal expenses. The campaign quickly surpassed its $25,000 goal, which only added fuel to the fire. Angela, never one to hold back, took to TikTok to blast Michael and those who contributed to his cause.
