LOVE AFTER LOCKUP SPOILERS Who did Michael choose? Plus Megan & Sarah feud on Twitter
On Friday night’s episode of Love After Lockup, viewers were shocked to discover that incarcerated felon Michael Simmons was not only engaged to 28-year-old virgin Megan from Fort Worth, Texas, but he also secretly married Sarah, the 24-year-old mother of his daughter from Farmington, New York. With Michael’s release just days away, both Megan and Sarah are expecting to be there when he gets out so they can begin their happily ever afters — both completely unaware of of Michael’s romantic relationship with the other.
So who wins the Michael jackpot, and who winds up looking like a love chump by gaining membership to the Convicted Felonely Hearts Club on national TV? Judging from social media, the jackpot winner looks to be the wife, Sarah. Both she and Michael posted numerous photos looking quite happy together after his release in late May/early June. The photos would eventually stop — but more on that in a minute.
Speaking of social media, it seems both women are still a little sore about being played by the locked up lothario as they went after each other in a bitter Twitter battle over the weekend. Strangely, there are references in their exchanges to Megan losing her virginity to Michael — but I’m not really sure how that would have happened unless Michael fibbed to Sarah and/or Megan about his release date?
Another aspect of their interactions that might seem strange is how they both talk about Michael as if he isn’t there — including Sarah. That is because Michael isn’t there. He is back behind bars after being arrested for narcotics possession earlier this month. (Click the link for all the details about his latest arrest, as well as his previous run-ins with the law.)
Keeping with the “seems strange” theme, Sarah’s “secret” wedding was kind of a big deal when she revealed it on the show, but it appears as though she posted the announcement on Facebook on her wedding day. Her profile says she and Michael got married on October 13, 2017, and that’s the same day she posted her relationship status update — compete with numerous congratulations from friends and family. WE tv shared a photo of Sarah’s wedding day and revealed that it did happen in October:
OK, before we move on to the Twitter pettiness, I wanted to shed some light on another popular question viewers have been asking ever since the love triangle was revealed. Who was it that first approached producers? A Twitter user asked Megan whether it was her or Sarah who applied to be on the show. “‘Twas me,” Megan reveals, “and you’ll see what’s up throughout the season lol.”
I should point out that Megan appears to be a HUGE reality show fan, including 90 Day Fiance — another popular series by the same producers as Love After Lockup. So it certainly make sense that Love After Lockup would be on her radar.
Enough stalling! It’s time to move on to Sarah and Megan’s Twitter feud via some highlighted excerpts — which also includes input from Michael’s sister DayDay:
TWEET: Somebody answer this for me..this woman been in this relationship 6 yrs and just now decided to get married? Is it cause of the show ooor what?? I think her story is she pregnant and need to tell dude.what are yall thoughts
SARAH: No. Because I wasn’t going to play house no more when there was a child involved. It was all or nothing. We wanted to get married for a long time! He begged me to marry him since the day we met. I married him because it was time and we were not the ones to ever want a ceremony

SARAH: The fact NOW is… she knew about me. I am a woman. I respect other woman. Period. BUT when I found out she knew all of that changed!
TWEET [RE: SARAH]: FINALLY it’s said. HE was the one lying to both of y’all. Regardless who ends up with him, he has shown that his ways has not changed. He was still cheating just behind bars. #CHEATER Y’all are better than that going after each other
SARAH: ?? at the end of the day I am a mother above anything and that’s my focus❗️I don’t want nor need to keep going back and forth. I’m hurting but not because of her .. BECAUSE OF HIM! ?? she just brings gas to the fire at this point and I don’t need that!

MEGAN: Good. I don’t feel bad for you. Don’t start sh*t with me when I was trying to be civil.
