Angela Deem Is Noticeably Absent From '90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?' — Was She Fired?

Season 8 of TLC's iconic reality series 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? is well underway, and many of the couples are hitting roadblocks. Mahmoud and Nicole are on the verge of splitting up, while Jasmine is uncertain about starting a family with Gino.

But amidst the romantic turmoil, fans have started to notice something puzzling: Despite being one of the first couples announced to appear in the eighth season, Angela Deem and her husband, Michael Ilesanmi, have yet to make their presence known.

So, what's the story here? Wait, was Angela fired from the 90 Day Fiancé franchise? Read on for all the known details.

Another episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? has come and gone, leaving fans eager for updates on Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi. Angela's noticeable absence, coupled with the ongoing drama of her split from Michael, has sparked rumors that she may have been fired from the TLC series.

In fact, several fans assumed this was the case after an Instagram user stated that Angela would no longer appear on the show. However, the 90 Day Fiancé star quickly denied this, simply replying, "Lies." Angela also responded to another Instagram user, revealing that her episode of Happily Ever After? was "coming soon."

On Wednesday, April 24, Angela appeared on a live stream from YouTuber Auntie's Advice and further discussed the never-ending drama between her and Michael. During their chat, Angela hinted there was more to her and Michael's story than people realized.

"Stay tuned," Angela told listeners. "I am not fired. I am here to tell y'all … I'm not fired. I'm coming soon. Just pay attention to the episodes closely. It was a living hell."

She added, "I'm coming back. I'm just getting started."

As many fans know, Angela and Michael's relationship was incredibly toxic. The blonde often lashes out at her husband during their segments on 90 Day Fiancé, and sometimes, their arguments turn violent, like when Angela smashes a cake in Michael's face.

Angela's temper also gets the best of her in an October 2022 episode of 90 Day Fiancé, when she pays a surprise visit to Michael in Nigeria. She's upset that he has an Instagram account, and when she asks him to shut it down, he says he would if she gives him $5,000.

Convinced that he is scamming her, Angela heads to Nigeria and goes directly to Michael's house. When she arrives, she sets her sights on his car and proceeds to destroy it with her bare hands. Now, despite the revelation that Angela was paying for all of Michael's things, including his car, her actions remain unjustifiable!

Plus, in late February 2024, Michael went missing for a few days. After he was found, he contacted the police and revealed he feared for his life and did not want Angela to know his location because he was hiding from her.
