Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi are not just creating drama for the reality show 90 Day Fiancé. Amidst a turbulent split, Micheal begs fans to help him raise money to fight the ongoing legal battle.
‘Babylove’, where did it all go wrong? Fan favorites of the ever expanding reality TV show 90 day fiancé Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi have split and are undergoing a turbulent divorce. The pair married in Nigeria on January 27, 2020 while the franchise has highlighted the majority of their seven-year relationship. From Before the 90 Days to 90 Day: The Last Resort, the pair have had an unstable courting. Between the 22-year age gap and their jealous personalities, they’ve made great TV, if not a great marriage. In the next step of their tumultuous journey, Michael has made a crowdfunding bid, asking fans to help him with legal proceedings.
Angela files for annulment and accuses Micheal of Nigerian scam
Both Michael and Angela Deem have appeared rampantly jealous at times. Inevitably, there was always going to be trouble in paradise when Michael transferred to the USA. These personal issues became too much for the meemaw of six, and she filed for annulment in June 2024.
Angela claims it was more than just heated arguments and ’emotional cheating’ that lead to their split, and alleged that Micheal fraudulently married her to obtain US residency. The 58-year-old claims her husband was part of a scheme with other Nigerian men to marry US citizens for legal status.
Angela was unable to locate Ilesanmi to ‘serve’ him legal papers, which complicated the situation.
A private investigator has found no evidence of Michael’s alleged deceit, despite Angela continuing to accuse him of fraud.
The drama doesn’t stop there, as Angela took to her Instagram story on August 12, 2024, to publicly criticize her estranged husband.
Deem shared a photo of Mike Tyson with the quote, “Stop being scared to lose people who add nothing to your life but stress and anxiety.”
The dig was subtle, but a simple “Amen,” added by Angela to the post, lets fans know who she’s directing it at.
Fans support Michael donating over a third of his goal
Michael is taking matters into his own hands by starting a GoFundMe page titled “Support Michael Ilesanmi’s Legal Battle.” It seems the annulment and court proceedings have taken Michael off-guard and he needs to find a quick way to gather the funds to take action.
“Due to the recent legal filings by Angela against me I must seek legal advice.” Michael writes on his page. Adding, “I have a legal battle to fight and that fight will be expensive.”
Ilesanmi is gracious in asking for the money, calling to all his fans to help with “whatever you can give.” Continuing, “I understand all of us are having hard times and I hate to ask others for money support.”
It seems fans have come to his rescue as $9,305 has been raised of the $25,000 goal, from an incredible 414 donations.
Donators are showing their support on his page, with one fan commenting, “Michael, you got this! You have a lot of support, and we will stand by you. You will be fine. You are awesome and we know it.”
“I’ve been watching Michael since the beginning on TLC. He’s a lovely guy and deserves the best. Sending love from Australia. We support you, Michael!” Shares another.
