90 Day Fiancé star Angela Deem's friend Jennifer Di Landro revealed what led to the fight between her and Angela in a New York City hotel. The 56-year-old Angela is known for her short temper and loud arguments with her Nigerian husband Michael Ilesanmi, 34. Angela's insecurity has been the biggest reason behind her frequent quarrels with Michael. She earned the reputation of being an aggressive cast member and was accused of being abusive too. But Angela did the unthinkable recently when she was caught on video slapping and punching her dear friend Jen ahead of her 90 Day: The Last Resort comeback.

While Angela seems to have not responded to questions about the incident since it happened, her friend Jennifer spoke to InTouch in depth about what happened and how her relationship with Angela stands. “Angela and myself hold a close bond," Jennifer said. "Due to unfortunate events, things got heated, but we have since discussed and cleared the air." She confirmed that things between her and Angela have gotten better since then. "[It's] funny," she continued. According to Jennifer, she was just taking 90 Day Fiancé star Angela back to her hotel to make sure she got there okay and picking up her car to go home.

"It actually looked worse than what it was," Jennifer explained. She now claims that no one threw punches and no one hit anyone. "That is false! It’s an event that I can speak for myself, as a grown [woman] with a business, should have never happened," she said. Jennifer just wanted to go home. "But as I before said, everything is fine, and we are good," she assured. She believes that life has a learning curve for everyone and, hopefully, there will be a good takeaway from the controversy.

However, Jennifer is not ready to reveal what actually caused the fight. "There is no need to rehash. It [has] totally been resolved, but I will ​[say it] had nothing to do with each other," she mentioned. She claimed it was over a third party who did not do right by Angela. On Tuesday, August 1, 2023, Angela and Jennifer attended the Reality Lip Sync Battle at Slate NYC. Several known reality TV stars joined them there, including Angela's 90 Day Fiancé co-stars Paola Mayfield and Molly Hopkins. The argument allegedly began when Jennifer and Angela were in a cab heading towards Hilton Garden Inn Midtown Park Avenue at 2 a.m.

Angela and Jennifer then entered the hotel lobby where they continued to fight. The video showed the hotel receptionist trying to break the two women apart. Angela and Jennifer were questioned by the New York Police Department who arrived at the scene, but Angela claimed she didn't do anything. As Angela headed to her own hotel room, she continued hurling insults at Jennifer, calling her a "wannabe" and a "b****." But now that Angela and Jennifer seem to have sorted out the matter at hand, there's always another controversy waiting to happen around the corner for the 90 Day Fiancé celebrity.
