Jovi Dufren has recently found himself in hot water with fans after expressing his support for Angela Deem during a “Pillow Talk” episode. Jovi and his wife, Yara Zaya, were reacting to the final Tell All episode of “Happily Ever After?” when he made the controversial statement. His declaration of being “Team Angela” did not sit well with many viewers, sparking a wave of backlash.
Jovi’s support for Angela went beyond mere words of encouragement. He accused Michael Ilesanmi, Angela’s estranged husband, of having ulterior motives. Jovi claimed that Michael did not deserve a green card, alleging that he had scammed Angela and should return to Nigeria. These comments were met with significant criticism from fans who felt that Jovi was unfairly targeting Michael without considering the abuse that he suffered in the last eight years from his American wife, Angela.
Jovi and Angela’s friendship is not new. The two bonded while filming the first season of “90 Day: The Last Resort,” where they spent considerable time together as drinking buddies. Their good time together during the spinoff show influenced Jovi’s opinion, leading him to side with Angela in her ongoing feud with Michael.
By the look on Yara’s face when Jovi made the comment about Michael, it was clear that the Ukrainian didn’t agree with her husband’s opinion. As an immigrant herself, Yara understands the challenges and uncertainties of living in a foreign country. She likely empathizes with Michael’s situation, knowing that if she and Jovi ever got divorced, she wouldn’t want to return to Ukraine either. Instead, Yara might consider taking similar steps to Michael, such as staying in the U.S. and hiring a lawyer to secure financial support for herself and their daughter, Mylah.
