90 Day Fiance: Angela Deem & Michael Ilesanmi’s Story So Far

Things are not looking good between Angela and Michael. During last week’s episode, the Georgia native dug through her husband’s phone and found out that he’s a member of questionable groups about Nigerian men dreaming of getting into the U.S. One of them is called “Paradise Men,” where Michael is an admin. Angela even discovered that Michael was helping other Nigerian men get into the U.S. with the help of wealthy old women, which appeared to be their situation. This fuels the 90 Day Fiance star’s suspicions that he was scamming her.

“She was a terminal care hospice worker. Not a nurse of any kind. When people were in the final stages of dying but instinctively clinging onto life, they would bring in Angela and people would then gladly let go and slip away to their heavenly relief.”
“Hate Angela, she’s a terrible person. But being a hospice care worker is incredibly admirable.(At least in my opinion). I just hope she was kind to them.”
“I’m trying to picture her as a hospice nurse. YOU TRYIN TO SCAM ME? YOU AINT RILLY DYING ARE YOU, YOU SCAMMING SCAMMER. SHOW ME YOUR PHONE. WHATS THIS? A GROCERY APP? WHAT KIND OF TERMINAL BITCH IS ORDERING GROCERIES? I’M CALLING THE FBI!”
“She was a hospice aide for her mother. She may have been an stna somewhere at some time, but her only client since starting the show was her mother.”
“IIRC, they filmed her outside what looked like a nursing home chatting with a coworker (smoking, too, I think). I thought she was—at one time—working for a facility vs in-home nurse/care.”
