8Angela Keeps Following Michael Online
She Won’t Stop Airing Her Frustrations Out On Social Media
Angela hasn’t stopped posting online sinceMichael went “missing” in February. She tried to use her social networks to raise awareness of her husband’s disappearance to bring him home safely. Angela quickly realized that Michael had run away from her when he confirmed he was alright and scared for his life to the authorities.Since he embarrassed her to the public, she’s been very vocal about the hurt their relationship has caused. Instead of focusing on herself and preparing a private legal case against him, Angela uses Instagram and TikTok to air their dirty laundry for the entire world to know.
7Angela’s Revenge Makeover May Be About Attracting Michael
Angela Might Have Dyed Her Eyebrows For Michael’s Attention
Angela’s new revenge makeovercould be a tactic to attract Michael and get him back into her life. Since their split,she’s debuted new dark brows and began wearing rather youthful clothing. Angela has always had her unique sense of style defined by sparkly outfits and flashy jewelry, but her latest fashion choices may be in hopes of catching Michael’s attention. Before their latest split, she found out Michael had a new, younger American girlfriend whom he told that he loved her.
Angela had always been skeptical of her husband after his early infidelities in their relationship, andshe might be switching up her appearance to appeal to him. She underwent a massive weight-loss transformation during her time on the show, and Michael was vocally unsupportive of Angela going under the knife to achieve her slimmer physique, though he came around after the fact. The Georgia native will do anything it takes to charm her husband back into her life, so it wouldn’t be surprising if she dyed her eyebrows and started dressing differently for him.
6Angela’s Lashing Out At Fans (They Get To Support Michael But She Can’t)
She’s Always Posting Cryptic Messages
Angela has been very active online in the wake of their breakup and uses her platform to advocate for herself against her husband.Angela shockingly revealed she filed for annulmentof their marriage in August after Michael left her for a new family in Texas. In an interview withInTouch, Georgia-based attorney Randy Kessler alleged Angela filed intending to deport him. He explained, “annulment means there never was a marriage,” andif the judge sides with Angela, this could potentially “ruin his immigration status.”The lawyer said they believe she may be trying to “hurt” him with the filing.
“We often see people ask for things like an annulment for this reason — when they feel they were misled or proposed to for the wrong reasons.”
Since Michael left the reality star,Angela has been striking back at fanswho criticized her annulment filing. She threw shade directly at her haters by resharing a cryptic post made by@andrewhagerliveon Instagram thatwarned her followers to ensure “if you don’t like me, make sure it’s because I did something directly to YOU.”Angela didn’t call any specific people out when she shared the post, though it’s insinuated she was indirectly speaking to Michael and his supporters. Instead of keeping her thoughts to herself, the reality star opts to stir up drama and draw more attention to their nasty legal battle.
5Angela’s Posing With Other Men To Make Michael Jealous
Fans Thought She Was Dating This Franchise Alum
Angela uses her social media to the best of her abilities to attempt to make her husband jealous. Michael is a frequent user of social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, which was a point of contention in their marriage. Angela prohibited him from creating new social pages and lashed out when she found out he had an Instagram profile. Since they’re not together anymore, Michael is free to post online as he pleases, and that he’s done. However,Angela also uses her social media to share how she’s held up after their breakup.
After he ran away from her in February,Angela posted several dance videoswith other men. Herfirst controversial meetup wasin April with fellow franchise alum Scott Wern. He infamously dated Pedro Jimeno’s mother, Lidia Morel, and was featured in90 Day: The Single LifeandThe Family Chantel. Scott is one of the biggest clout chasers of the franchise who knows how to stir up drama online. Angela may have met up with him in an attempt to show Michael she’s fine without him, but her mingling hasn’t caught her husband’s eye as she intended.
4Angela’s Insulting Michael To Get His Attention
She Needs A Break From Social Media
Her efforts to make Michael jealous haven’t worked thus far, so Angela has turned to insulting her husband online. It appears social media is the only avenue of communication the former couple has now.Angela can’t reach him by text or phone, so she exhausts her social mediaby indirectly taking jabs at her husband. She reposted a cryptic Instagram Reel by@advocacy4americanson her Instagram Story in July that insinuated God was watching Michael’s actions with audio of a woman saying, “I know it looks like they got away with it, but God saw that.”
The woman continued, stating, “I know it looks like they moved on and that they won and that they were happy, but I’m telling you, God saw that.” Angela had turned to religious messages toseemingly threaten Michael’s alleged actionsagainst her. Hertendency to post her feelings on the internet may be used against her in the annulment case. Michael doesn’t speak about Angela online, though the same cannot be said about her. She should take a break from social media to cleanse her mind in this turbulent time, but that’s highly unlikely to happen.
3Angela Is Telling The World She’s The “Queen of Reality” (She Wants Michael To Be Her King)
Michael Doesn’t Want To Be The “King of Reality”
Nowadays,Angela refers to herself as the self-proclaimed “Queen of Reality.”She uses the hashtag on almost every TikTok video, referencing her time in the90 Day Fiancéfranchise. Without Michael, Angela wouldn’t have become a well-known reality star, and she likely planned on him sticking with her forever as the “King of Reality.” Each time she uses the hashtag #QueenofReality, it comes off as a weak attempt to announce she’s a reality TV star. Angela has clung to her status as a public figure since Michael left her, and it’s clear he doesn’t care about being the “King of Reality” anymore.
2Angela Needs A Partner She Can Dominate
The90 Day Fiancéstar has been criticized for her mistreatment of Michael over the years.Angela acted out with no remorse while filmingher segments. Instead of condemning her bad behavior, the show continued to ask her back for more seasons to showcase their journey as a couple. However, Angela’s behavior often gets the best of her, and she dominates Michael. During most of their moments onHappily Ever After?season 8, she’s seen screaming at her husband, leaving him no room to talk. Angela will miss not having Michael to take her anger out on, but he’s utterly tired of her antics.
1Angela Has Taken Michael Back A Million Times
Angela Has Never Officially Broken Up With Michael
Angela and Michael have “broken up” plenty of times, though this split feels more substantial than the rest. On every season of the show, she alludes to divorcing him, but they always stay together.Angela has been all bark and no bite about leaving her husband, and it appears he beat her to break things off. Michael finally had enough of his wife’s negative behavior and mistreatment and made the decision she’d been threatening him with. Nonetheless, crazier things have happened, andAngela and Michael could reconcileand opt to work on their marriage.
Angela and Michael’s journey as a couple has been followed throughout their time on90 Day Fiancé, though it appears they’ve finally split for good. However, Angela’s social media activity hints she may want to win her husband over. After multiple breakups over the years, it’d be silly to assume Angela wouldn’t take Michael back if he moved back to Georgia.
90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Daysseason 7 premieres on Sunday, September 1 at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC and Max.
