90 Day Fiance’s Michael Begs Fans To Donate So He Can Fight Angela

Summary

Michael Ilesanmi isn't fighting for love—he's fighting for his future, and he's asking 90 Day Fiancé fans to open their wallets and give him a little boost. The reality TV star is hoping to raise a cool $50,000 to fund his legal battle against none other than his estranged wife, Angela Deem. And if you know anything about Angela, you know this is one messy, drama-filled showdown.

90 Day Fiancé viewers have been on this wild ride with Michael and Angela for years, watching their relationship unfold with more ups and downs than a rollercoaster. Angela, with her fiery temper and no-nonsense attitude, and Michael, trying to navigate life as a younger Nigerian man married to a much older American woman, have become one of the most talked-about couples in the franchise. T

The age gap, cultural differences, and, perhaps more so, Angela's explosive behavior have kept them in the headlines—and now, their ongoing drama has reached a boiling point.

Michael Wants A Lawyer To Fight Angela’s Fraud Claims

On Tuesday, Michael took his fight to social media, launching a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the steep legal fees he's facing after Angela dropped a bombshell—she's filed for an annulment. That's right, the queen of the 90 Day universe is claiming that Michael, her 36-year-old husband, tricked her into marriage just to secure a green card.

She's accusing him of fraud and even going as far as to suggest that Michael is part of a larger conspiracy involving other Nigerian men scheming to marry U.S. citizens for immigration benefits. Yikes!

But hold up—this isn’t just Angela throwing shade. During the latest “Tell-All” episode of Happily Ever After?, Angela revealed that she had a private investigator dig into Michael’s past. And guess what? The PI didn’t find a single shred of evidence that Michael was cheating, scamming, or even remotely dishonest in his intentions to marry Angela. So, what gives?

Michael, clearly feeling the heat, decided to fight back. In his GoFundMe bio, he laid it all out, saying, "I have been put in a situation where I unfortunately have to ask for help... Due to the recent legal filings by Angela against me I must seek legal advice. I have obtained an attorney but the fees are expensive. I have a legal battle to fight and that fight will be expensive.”

The reality star continued, “I am asking all my fans to help – whatever you can give I would deeply appreciate. I understand all of us are having hard times and I hate to ask others for money support but it seems like due to the legal actions brought against me I have to ask."

And just in case anyone thought he wasn’t serious, Michael hopped on Facebook Live right after posting his fundraiser to assure fans that this is the real deal.

"I just shared the GoFundMe link on my bio," he said. "Please kindly show your support. You guys know she filed [for an] annulment against me. I really need your support right now... I’m doing the best I can on my end, too. So I really need your support. The GoFundMe link is real, it’s from me, it’s not fake or anything."

In less than an hour, donations started pouring in, and Michael managed to rack up over $3,200. Fans flooded his Instagram comments with support, some even joking about starting a petition to keep Michael in the U.S. and send Angela packing to Nigeria.

Others were quick to slam TLC for allowing Angela’s explosive—and often abusive—behavior towards Michael to air on TV without any intervention. "You suffered enough," one fan wrote. "No one should go through the kind of verbal abuse that [you] went through." Another chimed in, "TLC should be paying this period! They are part to blame for allowing it on their platform."

So, where does this leave the couple? With Angela yet to publicly comment on Michael’s fundraiser, one thing is clear—this messy saga is far from over. Michael’s battle isn’t just about winning in court; it’s about proving that he’s not the villain in this story. And as the drama continues to unfold, one has to wonder—who will come out on top in this real-life soap opera?

Stay tuned because with these two, you never know what’s coming next!
