Michael Ilesanmi from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? portrays himself as a devout Christian and a loving husband, but his behavior suggests otherwise – showing his true colors as a scammer. Michael and Angela Deem first crossed paths on Facebook, and shortly after that, they got engaged. However, Michael never respected his relationship with Angela and eventually cheated on her by receiving pleasure from a local woman. While Angela forgave Michael, he could never earn her trust back. Angela demanded Michael stay off of social media because she suspected he would use his fame to cheat again.

Even though Michael wasn’t active on social media, he continued to behave suspiciously and once again cheated on Angela in late 2022. Despite this, the couple believed they could salvage their relationship and joined 90 Day: The Last Resort to undergo marriage counseling. The therapy was effective, and Angela gave Michael another chance to prove his loyalty. Despite Angela’s lingering doubts about Michael’s true intentions, she invited him to the United States in late 2023. Unfortunately, their reunion in America didn’t improve their relationship. In February 2024, Michael left Angela’s house out of concern for his own safety.

Is Nigerian Con Man Michael Taking 90DF Fans For A Ride?

Michael Could’ve Easily Gone Back To Nigeria If He Wanted

After Michael dumped Angela, she filed for annulment and has been trying to deport him back to Nigeria. Since Michael wants to remain in the United States, he asked his fans to help him raise enough money to hire a good attorney to fight Angela in court. It’s comical that for his GoFundMe page, Michael used a picture of himself wearing a t-shirt with the phrase, “God Got Me,” implying his innocence when he repeatedly cheated on Angela. Michael originally aimed to raise $25k, but he has already raised over $51k, thanks to his talent for portraying himself as a victim.

Michael appears very smug in his GoFundMe picture, as if he were a battered husband who only wished to seek a happy ending with his wife.

Although Angela lost her temper with Michael several times during their journey on reality TV, his questionable behavior can’t be excused. He made a mockery out of Angela’s love and is now further betraying the trust of many 90 Day Fiancé viewers by raising funds. Michael didn’t need to raise a large sum of money to fight Angela when he could simply have returned to his home country after their failed marriage.

Is Michael Playing The Victim To Get Money?

Michael Excels At Playing His Cards Right To Get The Most Out Of Every Situation

There’s no doubt Angela has consistently disrespected, emasculated and mistreated Michael for years. He made the right decision to leave her to protect himself from the ongoing mental torment. However, if Michael hadn’t cheated on or blackmailed Angela for money, she wouldn’t have initiated any of their heated arguments. Angela is a self-sufficient and caring woman, who only desired love and loyalty from her husband. Unfortunately, Michael had other intentions. The 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 alum showed no concern for his wife’s mental or physical well-being, causing her emotional distress through his cheating scandals.

Despite being unfaithful to Angela throughout their marriage, Michael now dares to act like he was the one suffering in the relationship and needed to escape.

While Angela worked three jobs in the United States, Michael lived a stress-free life in Nigeria with his friends. It appears he always had it easy while Angela paid the consequences for his unfaithfulness. Now that Michael is single, and no longer has Angela’s support, he has found a new way to live comfortably by portraying himself as a victim to gain support from fans, including financial benefits.

Michael Ilesanmi told his escape story on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8, but it sounds and likely exaggerated.

Michael’s Positive Guy Gimmick Makes Him Instantly Likable

Michael endured a lot in his relationship with Angela. He initially loved her but eventually grew distant due to her repeated verbal abuse and disrespectful actions. It appears that Michael began to resent Angela at some point in their marriage, harboring bitterness and plotting revenge. Spending more time with Angela only solidified his determination to hold her accountable for her actions. The 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? cast member became focused on making his American wife appear worse than she was in front of other people.

Michael used his time on TV to portray himself as a good person while simultaneously making Angela appear negative for doubting him.

Michael responded politely and acted innocently instead of forcefully defending himself against Angela’s accusations. He also acted like he wanted his marriage to succeed while forming close relationships with his co-stars to earn sympathy. Angela claimed that Michael wasn’t putting effort into their relationship and wasn’t intimate, causing her distress. However, Michael ignored her concerns and behaved nonchalantly to come across as calm and level-headed to gain support.

Michael Shouldn’t Use God’s Name After Displaying Unchristlike Behavior

Michael Has Already Sparked New Rumors About Having A Girlfriend

Michael likes to claim he’s a man who loves God and has ethics and morals. He wants people to know that he was justified in giving up on his marriage, even though he had broken the marital vows long before Angela became abusive towards him. Michael began showcasing his unchristian behavior early on in the relationship, starting by cheating on Angela with another woman and admitting it on camera. Michael admitted, “I did the BJ. You know, for real. I confessed to her that I did it,” trying to make it seem like his confession excuses his actions.

Michael’s suspicious behavior proves he wasn’t only unfaithful to Angela but likely cheated on her multiple times while disregarding his commitment to their relationship and his religious beliefs. If Michael truly respected Christianity, he would’ve remained faithful to his wife. If his intentions for marrying her were true, he wouldn’t have engaged in infidelity. Michael is now fueling relationship rumors and publicly showing off his new rumored girlfriend, revealing his true nature and adding to Angela’s pain. It’s appalling that the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? alum believes he’s supported by God while behaving in such a deceitful manner.
