Why Does TLC Keep Angela Deem on ’90 Day Fiance’? Here’s the Shocking Reason

Fans are increasingly questioning the presence of Angela Deem on TLC. Despite her long-standing involvement in various shows alongside her husband, Michael Ilesanmi, the audience’s patience seems to be wearing thin. Many viewers believe it’s high time Angela steps away for good.

Michael Ilesanmi had only spent three months in the United States before deciding to leave Angela. Over seven years, their tumultuous relationship has been on display, filled with both ups and downs. Angela has frequently been seen treating Michael poorly, prompting speculation among fans that he might have stayed in the relationship just for a green card. Many now feel that if this was his reason, he has more than earned it by enduring her behavior.

Angela’s behavior on the show has sparked considerable backlash. Viewers have expressed their dismay and called out TLC for continuing to feature her. The reasons behind this, according to numerous fan opinions, seem to be driven by the ratings she brings in, something that TLC evidently values heavily.

Comments from fans reflect strong disdain for Angela:

• “I hate to say this, but part of me hopes she attacks a crew member just so that TLC will do something.”
• “Makes me sick. They should cut her scenes and cut off her paycheck. How can you get paid to abuse someone? It makes no damn sense.”
• “Production stopped portraying her in a positive light a while ago. They are letting everyone see who she really is because it ends the story.”
• “Production should’ve stopped her. She’s ruining the whole place with her screaming, yelling and acting violent. Even Manuel knew when he was playing pool to get the balls and sticks away from her when she was screaming at everyone I think she’s done, but who knows??”
• “Yeah, the security on standby were for Angela. Didn’t see them on the previous episode when she wasn’t there yet.”
• “As long as those ratings keep bringing in money, TLC doesn’t care.”

The consensus is that Angela contributes to high ratings, driving TLC to keep her involved. However, this raises ethical questions about the network’s responsibility in endorsing or enabling abusive behavior for the sake of profit. Fans are growing increasingly vocal, questioning when enough will finally be enough. Angela’s treatment of Michael—emotionally, mentally, and sometimes physically abusive—remains a key point of contention. Not only is she feared by her own husband, but she also causes apprehension among other co-stars and even some of the producers.

Viewers are now left wondering about Angela’s future on the network. Despite her polarizing presence, she continues to hold a spot in the franchise, primarily due to her ability to draw viewers. However, the ongoing debate among fans suggests that her reign might be nearing an end, marking a significant shift in how reality stars are treated based on their behavior on and off the camera.
