Angela’s inability to control her emotions and escalating anger raises concerns about her future behavior.
Angela Deem’s angry outburst toward Kobe Blaise on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? is another example of her out-of-control behavior. Angela is notorious for her diva antics and has been criticized for her aggression toward her husband, Michael Ilesanmi. The season 8 Tell All was filmed just before Angela and Michael’s messy split, and every conversation between Angela and Michael erupted into an argument. After Angela stormed off the reunion set, she directed her volatile behavior at castmate Kobe Blaise.

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 ended with an unprecedented five-part Tell All special. In addition to filming a sit-down reunion, the cast stayed together in a mansion. Cameras captured behind-the-scenes moments from the reunion taping as well as interactions between the couples at the house. This allowed the stars to get to know each other and share opinions on their marriages. While friendships were created, there was also no shortage of drama.

Kobe Played Peacemaker For The Cast During The Tell All
He Showed Off His Easygoing Personality
As the cast came together, many met for the first time, and Kobe emerged as the group’s peacemaker. He was always cheerful and wanted to help mediate his castmates’ disputes. Kobe’s wife, Emily Bieberly, was eight months pregnant at the time. Kobe was strong in his support of Emily but also shared his vulnerability. During an emotional reunion segment with Emily’s parents, Kobe tearfully expressed his gratitude for everything his in-laws have done for him since he arrived in America.

With his marriage in a healthy place, Kobe acted as a calming force for his castmates.

Kobe and Emily brought a calm energy to the chaotic group. They spent 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 working on their marriage, reconnecting with their families, and building a foundation for their own family. With his marriage in a healthy place, Kobe acted as a calming force for his castmates. During a tense night at the house, Kobe gently attempted to redirect Angela when she was screaming at Michael. He then shifted his attention to comforting Michael and talking him through his marriage problems.

He made clear he was not condoning Michael’s actions, but he could not watch Michael being mistreated.

Angela continued to berate Michael while filming their reunion segment and did not allow him a chance to defend himself. Kobe was the only one to confront Angela about her treatment of Michael. He told her that the way she disrespected Michael was unacceptable. Angela fought back, but Kobe held his ground. He made clear he was not condoning Michael’s actions, but he could not watch Michael being mistreated.

As Angela and Michael prepared to leave the set, Angela shared with the group that she decided to end her relationship with Michael. She intended to contact a lawyer and have Michael’s visa revoked. At this point, Kobe could no longer stay silent. He calmly told Angela how unfair it was for her to treat Michael like he was “nothing.” Angela retaliated by calling Kobe a “male chauvinist pig.” Kobe refused to back down, telling Michael he did not have to give up his visa. Angela unleashed her anger, shouting and cursing at both Michael and Kobe.

Angela’s Unhinged Attack On Kobe Shows The Extent Of Her Anger Problem
She Can’t Control Her Emotions
Angela has never been known for her demure behavior. However, the extent to which she attacked her co-star, who she barely knows, is a worrying sign. Angela has made excuses for her volatility toward Michael, but her ability to turn against a stranger so quickly proves that Angela has no hope of gaining control over her emotions.

Kobe was rational and logical in his defense of Michael. Michael has made many mistakes, but he should not have the ability to live in America ripped away from him after fighting so hard for it. Michael’s visa isn’t something that should be held over his head. Angela refused to consider that Kobe, who has been through the immigration process just like Michael, knows what’s at stake.

Angela shouldn’t continue to film after years of abusive behavior. Although she and Michael are no longer together, Angela proved that she will continue to direct her anger towards anybody she encounters. Angela should be removed from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? to show that the franchise will not tolerate abuse of any kind.
