Michael Ilesanmi Receives Unexpected 90 Day Fiancé Support Amid Angela Deem Legal Battle After Joining New Family
A female cast member from the 90 Day Fiancé franchise stands by Michael Ilesanmi in his legal fight with Angela Deem. In late 2023, Michael arrived in the United States and assured his wife of a brighter future, but he failed to fulfill his commitment. In February 2024, Michael ran away from Angela’s house, claiming he had to leave her out of fear for his life. Recently, Michael revealed that Angela had filed for an annulment to deport him back to Nigeria. Therefore, Michael started a fundraiser to request fans to help him pay attorney fees.
Michael has been receiving massive support from his co-stars amid his split from Angela. Most recently, former 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way cast member Daniele Gates promoted the Nigerian man’s fundraiser on her Instagram Story, asking her followers to help him.
She shared the link to Michael’s GoFundMe page alongside a text supporting him. Daniele wrote, “save him,” adding a heart emoji to show him love. Michael achieved his fundraising goal of $25K within two days. Over 1.3k people donated to help him out, one of whom must’ve been Daniele herself.
Are There Any 90 Day Fiancé Stars Supporting Angela Deem?
Michael is receiving significantly more support than Angela during the legal battle, as many fans want to see him win. On the other hand, only a handful of fans are standing by Angela.
Despite this, several cast members like Stacey Silva and Molly Hopkins publicly support Angela by following her on Instagram. Jovi Dufren had previously said that Angela is a kind-hearted person who is often misunderstood. During an interview with Access Hollywood, Liz also expressed her support for Angela by casting doubt on Michael’s intentions to be with her for the right reasons.
It makes sense that Daniele and Michael have found common ground and formed a connection. Both of them have gone through similar difficult experiences in relationships – Daniele with her toxic marriage to Yohan Geronimo and Michael with his tumultuous relationship with Angela. After breaking free from those damaging situations, they both rebuilt their lives and found a supportive community. Recently, they crossed paths on a TikTok livestream and had a pleasant conversation, which may have led to a budding friendship between them.
While Kobe and Daniele support Michael publicly, not many cast members do the same for Angela. Some 90 Day Fiancé stars appear hesitant to pick a side.
Loren seems somewhat contradictory, as she supports Michael on the show but doesn’t even follow him on Instagram. Regardless, it’ll be interesting to see who wins the legal battle in court. No amount of social support will help Michael defeat Angela; he’ll have to fight for it. Thankfully, the 90 Day Fiancé franchise star has raised enough money to hire a good attorney to represent him in court.
