Angela Deem’s dramatic persona mirrors Miss Piggy’s diva behavior, from over-the-top fashion to emotional outbursts.
Angela’s former relationship with Michael echoes the twisted dynamic of Miss Piggy and Kermit.
Angela needs to come to terms with who Michael truly is and also acknowledge her own faults. Like Miss Piggy, Angela has blind spots.
90 Day Fiancé star Angela Deem may be putting on a show for a drama-hungry audience, but lately, it seems like she’s channeling the notorious diva, Miss Piggy. In fact, that conceited Muppet has nothing on the post-Michael Ilesanmi Angela. Like the great diva who loves to say “moi,” Angie’s flaunting over-the-top fashion, browbeating an ex (yes, Miss Piggy and “Kermie” have had some breaks), and tossing her super-blonde hair. In fact, the women are so alike that Miss Piggy’s one-liners could actually pass for the sometimes violent Angela’s.
Behind every good woman is a great left hook.” – Miss Piggy
Angela’s histrionics are loud, bold, and cartoonish. Much like Miss Piggy, Angela spent years dominating her meeker mate. Now, she has to go it alone. Without her sidekick, Angela must build herself up. To do so, she’s resorting to classic Miss Piggy schtick, from flaunting wild fashion to calling herself a queen. Michael played the “beta male” role with Angela for years, getting pushed around like nobody’s business. Kermit (poor little frog) has to put up with so much, but at least his love is sincere. The same can’t be said for Nigerian scammer Michael.
Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog are soul mates. However, Angela was continually disappointed by Michael, and lashed out, sometimes physically. Michael wasn’t a peaceful being like the amphibian who sweetly sang, “It Ain’t Easy Being Green.” Michael ran out of patience. Kermit never will.
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
Angela Deem Thinks She’s A Queen
Miss Piggy Also Loves Herself
@angeladeem1.27o love you all CABADA ROCKS THE QUEENS HEART#IWILLKEEPMYWORDANDSTANDUPFORMINE#BETTHAT#COMINGSOON♬ Cry to Me – Solomon Burke
Angela‘s TikTok, as shown above, features the controversial 90 Day Fiancé icon outside an airport. The clip is accompanied by the caption:
“o love you all CABADA ROCKS THE QUEENS HEART”
Angela wears a sort of “crown” in the video – a jeweled hairband that gives her a regal look. In the most dramatic moment, she smells her wrist, referencing the lyrics of the song, “Cry to Me” by Solomon Burke. Its lyrics are pure melodrama – Miss Piggy would definitely approve. Solomon sings:
When you’re all alone in your lonely room
And there’s nothing but the smell of her perfume
A-don’t you feel like a-cryin’?
A-don’t you feel like cryin’?
A-don’t you feel like a-cryin’?
A-come on, come on, cry to me
Michael has crushed Angela, but she won’t go down without a fight. Losing her “Kermit” has been traumatic. He was her sounding board, her dream of a fairytale ending, and her reason for being. For years, she actually believed that the man who was so clearly into younger women and hustling her for cash was her true love. She convinced herself that it was true. Therefore, it was… right?
Angela’s Revenge Makeover Won’t Fix What’s Wrong
However, Miss Piggy Recommends Taking A Lot Of Photos
No, it’s wrong… dead wrong. In Angela’s Miss Piggyesque world, she makes the rules. She decides what she wants. However, the world that Angela and the pink Muppet inhabit isn’t the real world. It’s a figment of their overactive imaginations, their out-sized egos, their vaulting ambitions. Quite often, it’s a total dream world. All the revenge makeovers and “portfolios,” as per Miss Piggy at Instagram, can’t change what’s real.
Their fantasy worlds might be compared to a Hollywood set, where a wooden house is just a facade – there’s nothing behind it. It’s a piece of wood painted to look exactly like a home.
Michael was not Kermit, nor will he ever be the adorable, pure-hearted Muppet. They say that home is where the heart is, but for Angela, there was never a foundation of love – there was nothing to build on. Angela loved him, and he faked his love – he was only pretending. Now, instead of being able to shove a cake into his face when she’s angry with him, as Miss Piggy would surely do in the right circumstances, Angela must act out online.
There’s nothing else she can do.
Right now, Angie’s happy, but then she’s sad. She’s like the famous “theatre masks”… the ones that signify comedy and tragedy. One mask laughs, and the other is anguished. Angela is all about over-the-top emotions, just like the Muppet that she frankly resembles. By the way, that’s a compliment. Miss Piggy is an icon. She is, as Raymond Chandler rhapsodized about another golden-haired creature in Farewell, My Lovely:
A blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window,
or so Miss Piggy would like to think.
Angela has the very same bravado. Of course, they should love themselves. However, they won’t do that quietly. Everyone must know how they’re feeling and how proud of themselves they are. This may be a defense mechanism. Miss Piggy has had her moments, feeling usurped by other glamorous actresses, such as Eva Longoria, as seen in the high-drama clip above.
Her battle with Eva definitely calls to mind some of Angela’s most outrageous Tell All scenes. Angela has flashed viewers, feuded with Michael and costars and generally wreaked havoc. She and Miss Piggy are, at their cores, hams.
Angela Needs To Let Michael Go
He’ll NEVER Be Kermit
Now that Michael’s hitting up fans for GoFundMe donations, so Angela can’t get him deported, and flaunts his “new family” in America, he is showing the world that he’s really not Kermit the Frog. Angela’s seeing her partner clearly. That’s good – however, she also needs to see herself for who she really is. Can 90 Day Fiancé‘s Angela do this? Can she acknowledge her own bad decisions, her verbal and physical abuse? Or will she continue to play the queen? She has many strengths but, like Miss Piggy, Angela’s known for her blind spots.
