Michael Ilesanmi has been under Angela Deem's thumb for years, which has recently started to worry 90 Day Fiancé fans about his health. The Nigerian man and his 56-year-old American partner debuted on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 2, during which they showcased a bittersweet relationship with trust issues. Sadly, things have only worsened over the years, as Angela delayed Michael's U.S. visa process and kept him off social media for months.
Lately, popular TLC pair Michael and Angela are showcasing their post-marriage struggles on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 7. However, viewers think Angela is manipulating Michael again, as she has done over the years. In recent episodes, fans saw her fly to Nigeria because she didn't want her husband to reactivate his Instagram account. While Michael claimed his goal was only to build some extra income, Angela accused him of ulterior motives and screamed at him with curses. If that wasn't enough, she gaslighted her husband by stating that he was the reason for her declining health.
Michael Ilesanmi's Before & After Photo Shocks 90 Day Fiancé Fans
Many viewers do not believe Angela's words against Michael. Instead, they think she is the one who's ruining her husband's health. Over a few months, 90 Day Fiancé fans have shared comparison photos of the Nigerian native on Instagram, showing that he looks like a "battered man." A fan page 90dayharvestusd shared a post on Instagram with the caption, "Angela's taken the life out of Michael," and many fans agreed with the post. An Instagram user wrote, "His light has dimmed so much." Another user commented, "Feel really bad for him. TLC and Angela is abusing him." Someone else said they no longer care as Michael is now "allowing this abuse."
90 Day Fiancé Fans Were Worried When Angela Yelled At Michael
90 Day Fiancé viewers also got worried when they saw a recent scene of Angela getting in Michael's face and screaming at him, saying, "Don't you godd*mn lie to me in my face." According to fans, TLC smartly edited the scene and didn't show the Georgia native pushing her husband. When a Redditor with the username Difficult-Gur-8746 discussed this, many fans agreed that Michael probably suffered mental and physical abuse during the filming of the scene. A Redditor wrote, "She's about to take his eye out with her nail! See how close her finger and nail were to Michael's eye???" Another Redditor commented, "She is doing something to Michael but TLC doesn't want us to see the worst. It is a cover-up."
90 Day Fiancé Fans Think Michael Ilesanmi Looks Battered
It is also believed that Michael may be looking fine on the outside, but he's completely broken on the inside. "The bruises heal, the mental toll is something else entirely," a Redditor with the username touchesthemoon wrote, while talking about how Michael's eyes reveal his mental health is deteriorating. Another Redditor Tiny_Teach_5466 chimed in, "So many men go through the same thing and here TLC is glamorizing that kind of mental and emotional abuse." According to fans, Michael may have post-traumatic stress disorder and could be suffering with his mental health. Now more than ever, 90 Day Fiancé viewers want TLC to help Michael escape and fire Angela.
