Angela's '90 Day Fiancé' Behaviour 'Concerning' Says Charity

A domestic-abuse charity for men has said it is "increasingly concerned" about Angela Deem's treatment of her husband, Michael, on the current season of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?

The pair have faced a tumultuous time on recent episodes of the show, which follows the lives of various couples from 90 Day Fiancé to see how their relationship has worked out.

As fans of the show will know, the couple tried to navigate a long-distance relationship between Nigeria and the U.S. There were ongoing visa issues before Deem flew to the African country to confront her husband over his use of social media.

Deem, 56, has been increasingly suspicious of Ilesanmi's use of Instagram, saying that she is worried he is using it to cheat on her or scam her. She has asked him to delete his account.

Ilesanmi said that he uses his Instagram to make money through sponsorship deals, and that is why he is reluctant to take his account down.

On a 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? episode that aired on TLC in October, Deem flew to Nigeria see her husband, 34, but when he would not come out the house to speak to her, she destroyed his car.

Deem has also been seen shouting at Ilesanmi and asking to look through his phone, leading fans to question why TLC have kept her on the show.

Speaking about the scenes between Deem and Ilesanmi, Mark Brooks, chair of the ManKind Initiative domestic-abuse charity for men in the U.K., told Newsweek: "We are increasingly concerned about the level of control being placed on Michael and the fact that this is being broadcast for entertainment, when it should not be.

Brooks added that the relationship has "clear hallmarks of an abusive relationship," where the victim becomes "trapped, afraid and loses all sense of independence."

Brooks said: "The test for us is whether the channel would still be running this if the roles were reversed and it was the woman who was the victim – had her car smashed, had verbal abuse and told to take down her social-media account.

"We believe it rightly would not be shown, but because it is a man, then this is somehow acceptable when clearly it is not.

"It is a classic example of the double standards and the type of barriers male victims of domestic abuse face in being taken seriously."

Newsweek has contacted TLC and a representative for Deem for comment.

ManKind's statement comes just days after 90 Day Fiancé fans expressed their concern for Ilesanmi, with one suggesting he was acting like a "hostage."

Another posted: "Angela and these big Fake crocodile tears over Michael's instagram. She is just looking for reasons to abuse this man. Michael WALK AWAY WHILE YOU CAN!!! #90DayFiance."

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
