In a surprising turn of events, Michael Olasonmi has opened up about his dramatic departure from Angela Deem’s residence in Hazlehurst, Georgia, back in February 2024.
Their tumultuous relationship, which began online in 2017, has been filled with suspicion and controversy, leaving fans eager to learn more about the circumstances surrounding Michael’s decision to leave.
Angela had long harbored dreams of marrying Michael and bringing him to the United States.
However, their connection was marred by Angela’s doubts regarding Michael’s intentions.
Despite their initial online courtship, Angela suspected that Michael might be a scammer, a belief that lingered throughout their seven years together.
This skepticism intensified after Michael went missing just two months after arriving in America.
Determined to send Michael back to Nigeria, Angela took legal action against him.
Meanwhile, Michael managed to raise nearly $50,000 to defend himself in court.
While he appeared eager to maintain their relationship during a recent tell-all, the reality was starkly different; Michael was primarily focused on securing his life in the U.S., even if it meant distancing himself from Angela.
Michael made his way to the U.S. on December 23, 2023.
The initial days of their cohabitation were chronicled in the eighth season of “Happily Ever After.”
Over the next two months, the couple traveled to various locations, including California, New York, and Florida, but their time together soon soured.
The couple filmed a tell-all in early February 2024, but shortly after returning to Georgia, Michael vanished.
Angela announced his disappearance on TikTok on February 26, claiming he had gone missing three days prior.
She expressed her concern over Michael’s lack of identification, believing he left with only the clothes on his back and a mere $40 in cash.
In a desperate bid to locate her husband, Angela involved the police and even offered a $10,000 reward for any information leading to his whereabouts.
Her emotional pleas on social media revealed her fear for Michael’s safety, as she mentioned that her grandchildren were upset and worried about him.
However, Michael had reached out to the authorities on the same day he disappeared.
According to 90 Day Fiancé blogger John Yates, who was assisting Angela, Michael confirmed that he was safe, though he had requested that his location remain undisclosed from her.
The police reached out to Angela, informing her that they had verified Michael’s identity through a burner phone he possessed.
Unbeknownst to Angela, this phone contained pictures of his passport, which aided in confirming his identity.
Authorities also revealed that Michael was in fear for his life, further complicating the already strained relationship.
In a self-filmed video shared with producers, Michael recounted the events leading up to his departure.
He described returning home to find Angela angry and confrontational, a situation that escalated to a point where he felt he had no choice but to leave.
He decided to make his escape when Angela mentioned she was running errands, seizing the opportunity to break free.
This unfolding drama has captivated fans, highlighting the complexities of love, trust, and the lengths one might go to reclaim their freedom.
