’90 Day Fiance’ Star Michael Ilesanmi Responds To Accusations He ‘Scammed’ Angela Deem!
90 Day Fiance star Michael Ilesanmi has broken his silence amid Angela Deem’s allegations that he’s connected to a ring of Nigerian scammers.
After the intense events of the June 9 episode from Season 8 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? — followers of Michael Ilesanmi were left stunned by allegations suggesting the Nigerian native had deceived his wife, Angela Deem.
Taking to social media in response, Michael has moved to defend himself, adamantly denying any wrongdoing. Alongside a motivational message, Michael captioned his post with, “Yesterday reminds you how strong you were. Today proves you how capable you are, and Tomorrow tells you how fantastic you can be.” This declaration has garnered significant attention from the show’s dedicated fan base, many of whom have since distanced themselves from Angela Deem following the episode, due to her aggressive nature.
In response to the post, one commenter expressed support, stating, “I am watching tonight’s episode and to see her once again abuse an African man in his own country. Unbelievable!! So glad you escaped.”
Another fan noted, “I hope you know now that most US women are NOT like Angela. I have never known one. People don’t even talk to their dogs that bad.”
Someone else shared, “Stay strong, Mike! Don’t allow NO ONE to bully and abuse u anymore. Lesson learned, and hopefully, u find a great strong BLACK woman!!!”
While Michael received sympathy for enduring Angela’s anguish, some of her supporters criticized the Nigerian native — one person wrote:
“I was rooting for you but after tonight’s episode, I do believe you scammed Angela,” prompting Michael to assertively reply, “Bring your proof and if not, don’t ever tell me such.”
Another user urged Michael to clarify the situation, but he declined to do so, potentially due to legal or contractual constraints. This ambiguity hasn’t deterred the millions of 90 Day Fiancé fans from speculating about the truth. While many fans show solidarity with Angela, others continue to support Michael, highlighting a divided fanbase with contrasting opinions.
In the pivotal June 9 episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, Michael and Angela’s storyline took a significant turn when Michael attempted to relocate their visa interview. His behavior raised eyebrows as he appeared secretive and disregarded Angela’s constraints regarding her stay in Nigeria. Addressing Michael directly during the episode, Angela confronted him, saying:
“You’ve been shady man. Doing all this s–t by yourself like it’s your visa only, then telling me I can leave. Like who does that? Matter of fact, let me see your phone.”
Angela’s discovery of Michael’s alleged hidden money and she accused him of being an administrator for “Paradise Men,” after seizing his phone triggered accusations of scamming.
Michael claimed the group aimed to assist men immigrating to the US but that did not stop Angela from suffering a complete meltdown. The June 16 episode, intensified tensions as Angela confronted Michael, even threatening to report him to authorities.
90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? airs Sunday nights, 8pm ET, on TLC.
