Angela Deem is one of the most popular 90 Day Fiancé franchise cast members, and we're here to explain why she is 90DF royalty. She first featured on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 2 in 2018, alongside her partner, the former Yaba College of Technology student Michael Ilesanmi. Many viewers loved her energetic, loud, and entertaining personality, and eventually, she was cast in 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 3.

Although Angela showcased some red flags throughout her journey on the show, fans believed that she was genuinely in love with Michael. Viewers found it adorable that Angela had found the love of her life in Nigeria when she was 50 years of age. After marrying Michael, Angela featured on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After season 6, where her weight loss journey was documented.

The 55-year-old "Meemaw" shocked the whole 90 Day Fiancé community when she first mentioned getting weight loss surgery. When the COVID-19 pandemic first hit in 2020, Angela revealed that she gained over 20 pounds while being in lockdown. She felt that she would have a heart attack if she didn't lose the extra weight. At the time, Angela weighed about 273 pounds, but many 90 Day Fiancé fans (and Michael) thought she looked just fine. Even though Michael asked Angela not to go through the life-threatening surgeries, she didn't change her mind. Once Angela sets her mind on something, she will follow through without getting manipulated.

Angela Deem Speaks Her Mind

The Georgia native always speaks her mind and is unapologetic about being herself. In August 2020, the TLC star underwent a gastric sleeve procedure to lose weight, as well as a breast reduction and lift. Since then, she's been showing off her slimmer physique in various social media pictures. Even fans who don't appreciate Angela's insulting behavior have complimented her on her massive weight loss. She has now lost over 100 pounds and looks like a completely different person. Angela's dramatic body transformation has made fans curious about her. They are finding it hard to ignore Angela's mind-blowing weight loss journey. Recently, the TLC star earned praise for her chic look while partying with her friends. A fan said, "Aww yay. This photo makes me so happy I love Angela!!" Another fan wrote, "She's just herself no matter what, have a blast!" Someone else commented, "Angela, one sexy Memaw."

Angela Is All About Family

Angela also gets love for being a caring meemaw to her six grandkids. Fans have often observed that she is always available for her grandkids. When her second daughter Scottie Deem was behind bars for child molestation crimes, she took care of Scottie's kids and adopted them. Before marrying Michael, she went to her lawyer to make sure her grandkids would own a major percentage of her assets if something happens to her. However, even though Angela is one of the most beloved reality TV stars, she may not be the best face of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. She has been accused of mentally and verbally abusing Michael on several occasions. In one of the latest episodes, she ended up calling Michael "ugly," which didn't sit well with many fans.

Some Franchise Viewers Have Issues With Her

While she has legions of adoring fans, there are viewers who've grown so frustrated with her that they have started a petition to ban Angela from TLC. This petition needs 5,000 signatures, and over 3,000 people have already signed it. It is possible that Angela was stressed after her surgeries and yelled at her partner. However, it's surprising that she isn't even remorseful over her verbally abusive behavior.

When fans labeled Angela a bully and tried to get her canceled on social media, she called her critics "idiots." In her words, "You guys are so stupid we film tell all 16 18 and you guys see 2 hrs." The newly stylish Angela meant that viewers don't get to see all the footage, but she could have chosen a better way to deliver her message. She didn't need to attack 90 Day Fiancé fans. While she's controversial, her amazing popularity means that she's the franchise queen... for now.
