Angela admitted her past year with Michael has "hell" in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight.
"At one point, I was telling Michael, 'You've changed since we got married and we're not even living together yet. Don't take that for granted because there's always a damn divorce court right around the corner,'" Angela recalled.
"I feel like he married me and then he [changed]. We literally went through hell and it was bad, and you'll see that."
For instance, Angela alleged Michael wasn't supportive after she underwent a gastric sleeve reduction, liposuction on her back, and a breast reduction in August 2020.
The surgeon also addressed two hernias she had and so Angela was under general anesthesia for five to six hours.
Angela, who has lost 100 pounds since her procedures, said her grandchildren were her "main support" through the long recovery process, which really caused some tension between Michael and herself.
"I can tell you he was a butt," Angela admitted.
"He was a total ass. I can tell you a little bit, that I was in this alone... You know, I did my boobs and he loved my boobs. I don't know if it was just him not being a part of it because he was over there [in Nigeria] at the time or what, but we went through it."

Angela confessed divorce "definitely" crossed her mind during that time of struggle and she even discussed breaking up with Michael with her lawyer, who gave some "good advice."

In an exclusive sneak peek of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s sixth-season premiere obtained by Us Weekly, Angela talks to Michael over FaceTime about her plans to fly out for her surgery the very next day.
"Whenever we talk about this surgery thing, I always feel kind of emotional about it,” Michael admits. "You know I told you I don't like it."
Angela tells the cameras, "It's not that I don't care about what Michael thinks. I thought that marrying Michael would make my worries go away, but actually, they've gotten worse. He's going to be 33, I'm going to be 55. My skin's going to change, and I'm going to start to look older than I am."
"And Michael is still going to be as young as he looked the day I married him," she continues. "So if I'm not young, I need to at least look the damn part and it starts with my weight."
But Michael tells his wife, "You know I like big things. I love you the way you are."
In turn, Angela assures her husband she'll still have "big boobs and a big butt."
"I've tried to convince you over and over," Michael says. "I never for once like this surgery, everything."

Michael then explains in a confessional, "People have lost their [lives] getting this kind of surgery here in Nigeria. I feel she want to risk it all. You know, she just wants a quick result, so she had to go for the bigger surgeries."
Angela teased of the new season on TLC in her ET interview, "I can't tell you too much about it, but I can tell you, you don't want to miss it."
Despite the obstacles they've faced as a married couple, Angela confirmed she and Michael are still together and working things out.
Angela said she hopes Michael can move to the United States soon, especially since the international travel ban has been lifted amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"I'm hoping and praying. We've got my lawyer looking into it and I've contacted Congress," Angela revealed.
"Hopefully we'll see what's taking so long because we've been waiting for three-and-a-half years... We're going to have an American wedding [once he arrives]!"
Angela and Michael have starred on numerous 90 Day Fiance spinoffs on TLC over the years, including Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance and Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.
Angela and Michael got married in late January 2020 in Nigeria and then they filed for a spousal visa after their wedding.
The couple revealed on the Season 5 Tell-All for 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? that the visa had yet to be approved and Angela was struggling to see Michael due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"We won't [be together soon]," Angela explained on the show. "After the pandemic, we have to wait probably a year for him to get the spousal visa. But if we make it through all this and we're still together, then everybody can shut up."
