90 Day Fiance couple Larissa Lima and Colt Johnson are the most controversial pair from last season.
In a recent interview, Larissa accused Colt of being a monster during their ill-fated, seven-month marriage.
Now, it seems, she’s had a change of heart.
She is openly asking her fans to leave Colt alone and to stop sending him hateful messages.
But Larissa tells In Touch Weekly that she still needs spousal support from Colt.
It’s hard to make peace when you’re fighting it out in divorce court.
Larissa wants two things: peace and money
In a new interview, she explains how she’s been getting by, and what she needs going forward.
As we previously reported …
Larissa is asking for $1,000 per month in spousal support and for half of their home’s furnishings. Oh, and she’d like her stuff back.
Larissa needs spousal support
Speaking to In Touch, Larissa says “I was in a marriage to him and we earned money together, and I don’t want more, I don’t want less.”
Colt says that her demands are “ridiculous”
“I don’t know what Larissa has requested because [she] has not submitted any papers,” Colt claims. “I read about something online and if that is true then I think it’s ridiculous.”
Colt’s view is fairly dismissive
“Larissa and I were not married for not even seven months,” Colt points out. “And in that time she was arrested on three different counts of domestic violence.”
Larissa insists that her ask isn’t greedy
“I don’t care about Colt if he has one million dollars,” Larissa says. “I want my right while I was married to him.”
Larissa explains how she’s been getting by
“My family is helping and I’m at my friend’s house,” Larissa reveals. “But I still need support.”
She says that he robbed her blind while she was behind bars
“He left with only $38 in the bank account,†Larissa notes. “So I will fight for my life because I have the right.”
Larissa is over it
“I want to have a normal life, be away from all that drama,” she insists. “Be away from Colt. I really want to build my life.”
So what does Larissa want to do now?
“To be honest, my dream now is to be normal, back to my life,†Larissa concludes. “Go to school, improve my English.”
But first, she wants her stuff back
In early February, Larissa revealed that Colt and Debbie had kept a number of her belongings when they packed up her things, including her luggage and, bizarrely, her Goodwill wedding dress.
Also, she says he shut down her phone
It was HER phone, but Larissa says that Colt reported it stolen so that she could no longer make payments on it. We hope that we don’t have to explain how absolutely vital the use of a fully functional phoneis to everyday life.
Her pleas for money struck some the wrong way
Just this week, Larissa showed off her new jawline as part of her dramatic beauty makeover.
Is she using GoFundMe cash from fans to get fillers?
As we have expressed before, probably not.
So how can she afford this if she’s so hard up for cash?
The running theory is that Larissa is doing an endorsement deal, using her 90 Day Fiance fame to promote a specific beauty clinic and the subtle procedures that she’s getting in exchange for free treatments. That sounds like a good deal all around, but has not been confirmed.
Speaking of Larissa’s promotional gigs …
Larissa is having a divorce party on Saturday, March 2.
Her boyfriend is even helping promote it
Fans who attend the party on Saturday night will be the first to see his face without any Instagram filters obscuring it.
She only recently revealed that he exists
Weeks after her breakup with Colt, Larissa scored a major upgrade, even if he is a little reluctant to become famous.
At first, we couldn’t see his face at all
The 26-year-old hottie is allegedly not on social media.
What matters is how he treats Larissa herself
She says that he showers her with affection and hugs, which contrasts starkly with her last relationship.
Of course, Colt is throwing a divorce party, too
The event is being held at a Las Vegas gentleman’s club, and Colt will have a plus one by his side …
No, it’s not Debbie (lol)
A 22-year-old Vegas resident named Samantha Harris “won” a contest by Crazy Horse III to be Colt’s “date” to the even on Friday, March 1.
They’re BOTH having parties
The same weekend, at the same venue. Hey, at least it’s not the same night!
Larissa doesn’t want to fight, though
She shared an impassioned plea with her followers. She just wants to move on. Yes, she has court battles with Colt, but she doesn’t want her fans to attack him in his comments on her behalf. She wants peace.
Maybe she just wants to get on with her life
Of course, maybe it’s a tactic to show the court (well, courts, plural) that she’s not the adversarial one out of the two of them. That may take some convincing.
But … is it working?
Followers were stunned to see Coltee share this throwback photo of him and Larissa in happier times. Is he waxing nostalgic? Is he showing Larissa that he’s not as angry as he was? Or … maybe he just found the pic and decided to share it.
Is peace possible?
Maybe if they reach a settlement in divorce court … and if Colt stops trying to get Larissa deported … and possibly drops criminal charges against her.
What should they do?
The domestic battery case is complicated, since both parties displayed injuries. Both of them feel that they were used. We don’t know what the most “just” thing for them to do would be. We can say that, as far as public image is concerned, making peace and going their separate ways is probably the only way for either of them to “win.”
