There are many 90 Day Fiancé cast members who have a difficult time with the rollercoaster of fame, and fans think franchise star Angela Deem is isn’t handling it well. A cast member’s popularity (or notoriety) spikes when they’re appearing on the show, but after their season is concluded, viewers’ interest dries up. Angela in particular is struggling with losing relevance, and based on her off-screen behavior, fans think it definitely shows.
Angela is one of the most heavily-featured cast members in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, and she and her Nigerian husband Michael Ilesanmi have appeared on three different franchise shows and five seasons—90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days seasons 3 and 4, 90 Day Fiancé season 7, and 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? seasons 5 and 6 . Though Angela’s relationship with Michael is rocky, her larger-than-life personality shocked and enthralled viewers while she was appearing on the franchise. But now fans have grown bored with Angela’s off-screen antics, and she seems to be trying harder and harder to win them back.
Angela’s 15-minutes of fame has lasted a long time—far longer than most cast members. Five seasons is a lot to appear on, and it’s no surprise that she became one of the most prominent stars int he franchise. Angela captured a wide range of viewers appearing on the franchise’s flagship show along with two other spin-offs. However, Angela is not starring on any show currently, and she is not slated to appear on another in the near future. Instead, TLC announced two spin-off series with different franchise couples. Though it’s possible Angela could pop up on one of the shows again, for now her franchise time has run dry.
Based on her absence from the franchise and her increasingly wild antics on social media, many fans think Angela is getting desperate trying to stay relevant. It’s understandable that she’d want to keep the party going; she makes good money being famous and gaining followers on Instagram. But it’s clear that Angela is scraping the bottom of the barrel coming up with ways to maintain her fame. She’s ignited feuds between her former best friend Jojo and fellow franchise star Debbie Johnson, and Angela keeps posting weird content on social media that isn’t resonating with fans.
Angela’s popularity is evaporating the longer she goes without starring on a 90 Day Fiancé franchise show. It’s not too surprising, given reality TV viewers’ notoriously short attention spans. But Angela doesn’t seem willing to fade away gracefully. With her bonkers social media activity and off-screen drama mongering, fans think Angela will continue to act desperate for attention.
