Angela Deem is back in the headlines with an interesting development in her ongoing divorce proceedings with her estranged husband, Michael. This article reveals a major bombshell uncovered by Angela, as exclusively reported by InTouch.
On March 20th, Angela filed a response to a series of statements Michael, 36, asked her to admit or deny in court. While Michael’s list of questions was not filed publicly, Angela’s answers shed light on their relationship and some aspects of the TLC show. According to Angela, some events portrayed on the show were fabricated by TLC’s production team.
One significant revelation from Angela was her denial of engaging in any sᴇxᴜᴀʟ activity with Michael in the United States. Angela claimed that although Michael moved to America in late 2023, he fled their home within weeks. This conflicts with Michael’s assertion that they physically consummated their marriage. Angela further stated that TLC edited scenes to make it appear as though they were intimate, which, according to her, was not true.
Angela also denied making certain statements Michael referenced, claiming she could not recall them. In another response, she stated Michael had “multiple reasons” for preferring to sleep on the couch. When questioned about her income from the show, Angela insisted she hadn’t earned any revenue in the past two to three years. This claim raises doubts, given her continued appearances on the show.
Angela admitted she contacted Michael once so that her step-granddaughter could speak with him, citing the child’s difficulty in understanding Michael’s absence. However, Angela’s history of continuing an unhealthy relationship with Michael arguably contributed to the children’s feelings of abandonment.
The divorce proceedings, filed by Angela on June 20th, 2024, remain unresolved. Angela requested an annulment, accusing Michael of fraudulently inducing her into marriage to gain legal permanent residency in the United States. Angela claimed Michael was involved in a conspiracy with other Nigerian men targeting U.S. citizens for immigration purposes. However, Angela was aware of this alleged conspiracy before Michael’s move to the U.S. but proceeded with the relationship regardless.
Angela also requested her last name be changed back to Deem and stated that there was no joint property or debts to divide. In court documents, she claimed Michael abandoned her in February 2024 after living with her briefly. Despite stating she could not locate Michael, rumors suggest he now resides in Texas.
In his counter-petition, Michael denied Angela’s allegations of fraud and abandonment. He accused Angela of physical and mental abuse, both privately and publicly, during their relationship. Michael argued this abuse, documented on the show, was the primary reason for their separation. Additionally, Michael cited a significant income disparity between them and requested spousal support and an equitable division of property acquired during their marriage.
Angela and Michael, who share a 22-year age gap, first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé in 2018, showcasing their long-distance relationship on several spin-offs. Their story has always been fraught with conflict, and this latest chapter in their legal battle adds another layer of drama.
