Viewers Slam TLC & “90 Day Fiance” Cast For Not Intervening in Angela Deem’s On-Camera Mistreatment of Michael Ilesanmi

 

“Oh, whatever…I wasn’t gonna push him off the balcony…probably.”

The second part of the 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? Season 8 “Tell All: No Limits” episode aired on Sunday, leaving many of the show’s viewers both angered and disgusted at Angela Deem’s treatment of her husband Michael Ilesanmi. 

The multi-part Tell All–- which features the Season 8 cast residing together in a New Jersey mansion while also rehashing the ups and downs of the season–- took a turn on the latest episode when Angela and her now-estranged husband Michael got into an argument that many fans claim was taken too far by Angela. 

The 58-year-old not only embarrassed her husband on-stage at the Tell All, but also screamed at him and chased him up the stairs at the Tell All home, as the cast and crew seemingly sat by and watched the chaos unfold. 

…among other things.

As the episode aired, viewers took to social media to express their anger over TLC allowing Angela’s behavior to continue, with some fans demanding that the self-proclaimed “Seksi MeeMaw” be banned from the 90 Day Fiance franchise all together. 

“#evil this is the face of an abuser,” one viewer wrote on X. “@TLC you need to pull the plug on this mean spirited old lady! She is totally abusive and you are part of the problem condoning her horrible behavior!” 

“Shame on @TLC for enabling this vile, abusive monster,” another wrote. “You continue to give #AngelaDeem a platform which allows her to become even more disgusting year after year. Enough!!!” 

Other viewers demanded that TLC “do better,” with another asking, “at what point does a producer step in to help Michael?” 

“The way Angela treats Michael is utterly APPALLING,” someone wrote on X. “@TLC have a duty of responsibility to Michael’s mental and physical wellbeing and it’s becoming hard to watch at this point. Abuse is NOT entertaining.”

While a lot of fans’ anger was directed at the network, others called out Angela and Michael’s fellow cast members for not intervening on Michael’s behalf. 

“IKR…f**king infuriating watching her go in on him and the cast just stands there like no biggie,” one fan tweeted. “Nobody checks her on her s**t…and yeah wtf does TLC allow this for what like a year of this s**t?” 

Another viewer called the other cast members “weak” for allowing Angela to bully Michael, arguing that the situation would’ve been handled much differently if Michael had been the one mistreating Angela. 

 

“Out of everyone there only Rob [Warne] is telling Michael he’s being abused,” another wrote. “Everyone else laughs like it’s funny. These are not good people. They’re a bunch of fake a** phonies.” 

In one of the few instances that viewers felt the cast had actually stepped in to do something, it was seemingly only to prevent Angela from physically harming Michael with billiard accessories. 

“Hey, Manuel and Jayson grabbing the billiard balls and pool cue out of Angela’s reach as she was wilding probably saved lives,” one person noted on X, to which another added, “If they didn’t remove the pool balls someone might have been seriously hurt.”

The latest viewer backlash comes just weeks after Michael alleged that the reason he “ran away” from Angela’s home in February because he was in fear for his life. 

As The Ashley previously told you, Michael disappeared from Angela’s home in late February without his ID or belongings, leading Angela to contact police to report Michael as missing. Days later, he was confirmed safe by law enforcement, stating that he left on his own. 

Last month, Michael–- who came to the U.S. in December 2023–- told Entertainment Tonight that he “suffered” during the time that he was living with his wife and was treated like “an unwanted guest.” 
…said no one who has ever watched these two share a screen.

“Every day, we fight,” he claimed. “ … we argue, I mean, many things. It’s a lot … For me to have left, rather, it had gotten to a point where I just couldn’t bear it anymore.”

“I was just treated badly by her,” he said later in the interview. “Whenever she’s upset, she can do whatever she wants,” he said. “And I know the law here. I don’t want any issue. I don’t want any bad record of my name so I tend to keep it cool. To be honest, I was scared. Sometimes when she’s very upset, you know, she made me feel scared … it had gotten to the limit I couldn’t just bear it anymore.”  

Part 3 of the five-part “90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?” Season 8 Tell All: No Limits airs Sunday on TLC.
