90 Day Fiance: Angela Deem & Michael Ilesanmi’s Situation
Things got out of hand between Angela and Michael in the latest season of HEA. By the end of the season, the two were already separated. Michael revealed he’s now living 18 hours from his estranged wife. He explained that he ran away after his wife began to give him “attitude.”
Michael decided to flee when she was out for errands, adding that he had nothing on him but a backpack with his essential documents and his jacket. He claimed that he came across a man and asked to borrow his phone to call a friend, who then helped him get on a bus.
