Since she joined the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, Angela Deem received backlash from fans who criticized her for her abusive behavior. Despite the online hate and bullying, Angela remains resilient, mainly due to her support system, which is her two daughters, Scottie and Skyla, her grandkids, and the tons of cigarettes and illegal substances she consumes daily.
Scottie and Skyla, Angela’s daughters, have always stood by their mother despite the controversies surrounding her. Scottie, in particular, has been vocal in defending Angela against her critics. Recently, Scottie took to Instagram to criticize fans for donating money to Michael Ilesanmi. She accused Michael of scamming fans and using the donations, which amounted to over $50,000, for other things than his legal battle with her mom. Scottie argued that Michael had already been paid a large sum by TLC and urged fans to stop giving him more money, labeling him a scammer.
Scottie’s post sparked a heated debate among fans, with many supporting her stance while others defended Michael. Despite the differing opinions, Scottie’s loyalty to her mother was evident. In the current season of Happily Ever After, Skyla, Angela’s other daughter, has also been a pillar of support to her mom. Skylar never trusted Michael and always claimed that her mom loved Michael more than she loved her. She said that he would run away once he came to the US, and that’s precisely what happened.
Scottie Deem has a long history of legal troubles, including multiple arrests and a conviction for child mol*****. Given her past, Scottie’s opinion about Michael Ilesanmi being a scammer is seen by many as biased, as she is likely trying to support her mother. Scottie’s accusations didn’t change anything since Michael has already garnered substantial support from fans, both in words and financial contributions.
