90 Day Fiance's Angela Deem Mourns Costar Billy After Death: ‘Rest in Peace My Beautiful Friend'
Angela Deem is in mourning after she announced the death of Billy, her internet love connection she introduced during 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?
Angela, 59, announced the news of Billy's death on Tuesday, April 1, in a post shared by 90 Day Fiancé blogger John Yates. 'Angela Deem Shares that her good friend Billy passed away last night. 'Rest In Peace Beautiful Beautiful Friend' Condolences to Billy's family his girlfriend Dee and Angela,' the caption read.
Angela shared a slide on her Instagram Stories featuring a video that combined separate clips of herself and Billy due to their long-distance relationship. Alongside the footage, she wrote, 'Please, everyone, pray for Dee, Billy's girlfriend. She was the real angel.'
Billy was first introduced to TLC fans on season 7 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? in April 2022 as an online friendship Angela developed amid her marriage to her estranged husband, Micheal Ilesanmi.
Angela met Billy after she reached out to him online to do a painting for her then-husband, 37, who was in Nigeria while she remained in the U.S. Their relationship rapidly grew as they spent more time chatting, eventually becoming close friends. They even teamed up to perform TikTok dances together, further deepening their bond.
During the spinoff, Angela admitted that she'd been leaning on Billy amid her marriage struggles. After she called Billy a 'man of many trades,' she explained that he used to be a stripper in the '80s known as the 'Thief of Hearts.'
Their online relationship eventually fizzled out as Angela focused on repairing her marriage with Michael, especially after his U.S. visa was finally approved in December 2023.
However, marital bliss didn't last long for Angela, as shortly after he moved into her Georgia home, she reported Michael missing in February 2024. Michael later explained his disappearance by saying he was 'in fear of his life,' and he claimed he didn't want Angela to know where he was.
Angela filed for annulment from Michael on June 20, 2024, In Touch confirmed at the time. In her paperwork, she claimed that Michael 'fraudulently induced' her into marriage 'for the purpose of gaining legal permanent resident status in the United States.'
In response, the Nigeria native started a GoFundMe fundraiser in August 2024 in hopes of raising funds for his legal fees. After surpassing his $25,000 goal, he responded to Angela's annulment filing on August 21, 2024, and denied her claims of fraud. Michael accused his ex of 'cruel treatment' and 'physical and mental abuse' during their marriage. He also said that the treatment was one of the reasons for their divorce.
The case is ongoing. In Touch exclusively reported that the case was moving along in the justice system after Michael informed the court on December 2, 2024, that he had turned over documents and information that Angela requested as part of the case. Angela had served interrogatories, which was a list of questions or demands, that she wanted Michael to provide information on or produce related documents for amid their split.

Khaby Lame Posts on Social Media After ICE Confirms Detaining Him
Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikToker, has posted several times on social media since ICE confirmed detaining him. According to a statement ICE emailed Men's Journal on June 7, the agency detained Lame on accusations of immigration violations in Nevada but let him voluntarily leave the country. You wouldn't know that from his social media pages, though, as Lame has posted to both his Instagram story and TikTok page since news went viral that he was arrested by ICE. Lame posted a video with costumed mascots to TikTok, and he posted several times to his Instagram story, including a photo showing a hand holding a book in a bookstore and a shout-out to an athlete for his birthday. He also posted about Eid Mubarak. He has more than 162 million TikTok followers. News that ICE had taken Lame into custody first broke via an X influencer named Bo Louden, although many people raised questions about the initial report because Lame no longer came up in the ICE detention database. That may be because the agency now says it let him leave the country. Louden wrote that he was the person who reported Lame to ICE. Here's the official statement by ICE, which the agency emailed to Men's Journal on June 7, after Men's Journal wrote ICE the night before to ask whether it was true the world's most followed TikToker had been arrested. 'U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Seringe Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada for immigration violations,' ICE confirmed to Men's Journal. 'Lame entered the United States April 30 and overstayed the terms of his visa. Lame was granted voluntary departure June 6 and has since departed the U.S.,' ICE wrote.

Chris Pratt shows off drastic transformation for 'The Terminal List' season 2
Chris Pratt gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at his dramatic transformation for "The Terminal List" season two, sharing a video from set on Friday. The actor appeared nearly unrecognizable with long hair, a full beard and a thick mustache, all part of a detailed prosthetic look for his character. "Isn't this hair and makeup incredible?" Pratt said in the video posted to Instagram. "My team does such an awesome job." Pratt, who plays Navy SEAL James Reece in the Amazon Prime Video series, explained the facial hair is fake, but realistic enough to cause issues during lunch breaks. "The crazy thing about wearing a fake mustache or a fake beard is when you eat, you get hair in your mouth," he said, joking about not knowing where the hair came from. "No. Anyways. I don't care. I'm hungry," he added before eating. Season two of "The Terminal List" is based on "True Believer," the second novel in Jack Carr's book series. The action drama follows a Navy SEAL navigating trauma and conspiracy after a mission goes wrong. Constance Wu, Taylor Kitsch and Riley Keough return as part of the ensemble cast. Pratt's on-set update came days after he paid tribute to "Parks and Recreation" co-star Jonathan Joss, who was shot and killed on June 1. "Damn. RIP Jonathan. Always such a kind dude," Pratt wrote in a post shared to Instagram Stories.
