Former BBNaija housemate, Angel Smith, has been reportedly arrested in the United States, triggering widespread reactions online just weeks after news of her marriage to her female partner, Tunmininu.
The incident, said to have occurred in Dallas, was captured in a viral video showing the reality star being restrained by police during an encounter with officers.
Arrest details
Reports indicate that the situation escalated after Angel allegedly refused to identify herself to law enforcement officers while out with friends.
The confrontation reportedly led to her arrest, though full details surrounding the incident remain unclear.
The video has since circulated widely on social media, fueling debates among fans and critics.
Marriage crisis unfolds
The arrest comes amid an ongoing public fallout between Angel and her partner, Tunmininu.
Tunmininu had earlier accused the reality star of infidelity, claiming she spent over $100,000 on Angel, covering visa arrangements, living expenses, and their wedding.
She alleged that despite the support, Angel maintained relationships with other women and frequently left home to meet people she connected with online.
Financial and legal claims
In a series of posts, Tunmininu said the marriage had broken down, revealing that Angel had moved out and left behind personal belongings, including her wedding ring.
She also demanded the return of $40,000 and disclosed plans to proceed with annulment.
According to her, failure to comply could lead to legal action, including immigration-related consequences.
Public reactions
The situation has sparked mixed reactions online, with many Nigerians sharing contrasting views.
While some criticised Angel’s actions, others questioned the decision to make the dispute public.
The controversy continues to unfold as more details emerge about both the arrest and the strained relationship.
