90 Day Fiancé’s Angela Deem Mourns The Heartbreaking Loss Of A Loved One Amid Huge News About Reality TV Career

Angela Deem from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? has been inconsolable amid the death of a very special person in her life after announcing major reality TV career news. Angela was last seen in season 8 of the spin-off with Michael Ilesanmi. Michael from Nigeria finally came to the U.S. after years of waiting for a visa, only for him to leave Angela within two months. Michael planned his disappearance from Angela’s house, thus proving he never loved her. Michael had cheated on Angela more than once. However, he got extremely jealous when Angela spoke about her crushes.

Angela has become good friends with a man named Billy while she waited for Michael to come to America on a spousal visa. She’s now revealed that Billy is no more.

Angela shared an Instagram Reel captioned, “#RIPMYFRIEND.” Using the Dolly Parton song, “But You Know I Love You,” Angela created a video using various pictures of her and Billy together. Angela shared photos of her wearing a purple hoodie and hugging Billy as he looked happy to meet her. She shared photos of Billy’s artwork and videos they had made together on TikTok when they had started bonding. One of the photos showed Angela asking fans to send prayers to Billy’s girlfriend, who was the “Real angel.”

While they interacted online, Billy and Angela became good friends. Billy and Angela made TikToks together. Social media users wondered if Billy was Angela’s new boyfriend. On the show, Billy referred to Angela as his angel, while she admitted he was her crush.

Angela wished to go to Canada to meet Billy. However, Michael was against it. Angela didn’t want to go to see Billy because she was romantically interested in him. Billy used to be a professional stripper in the '80s, known as “The Original Thief of Hearts". He may have been Angela’s type but was diagnosed with a rare immune disease called Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (or MPGN) in 2017. Billy's disease resulted in him getting kidney failure, and he’s been on dialysis ever since. Angela was trying to raise awareness of kidney disease by promoting Billy on her social media.

Our Take On Angela’s Sweet Tribute To Billy After His Death

Why Did Angela Grow So Close To Billy?

Billy was Angela’s good friend for a reason. He became close to her when Michael was ignoring her during her recovery from her weight-loss surgery. Angela also used to work in a hospice before 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? and hence could understand the pain Billy was going through. Angela did end up flying out to meet Billy a couple of times and documented the meetings on her social media. Even if Angela has earned herself a bad reputation on the show, Angela proves time and again that she is a good friend to those who matter to her.

90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
