Larissa Lima's Making A Comeback (Is She Returning To The 90 Day Fiancé Franchise?) (2024)

90 Day Fiancé alum Larissa Lima's reality TV career has been revived as she’s making a comeback four years after being fired. Larissa is a 37-year-old from Minas Gerais, Brazil, who was introduced during 90 Day Fiancé season 6 as Colt Johnson’s future wife. Colt has been in two on-screen relationships since his divorce from Larissa, but his most memorable 90 Day Fiancé moments are the ones that involve her. Larissa’s journey in the franchise was cut short after a mistake she committed in 2020, and in turn, viewers lost an important cast member they all loved to hate.

Larissa quickly earned her villain status and embraced it. Larissa’s ex-husband recently revealed his split with his third wife, while Larissa herself is thriving in her new relationship. There’s a lot that has happened in Larissa’s life since 90 Day Fiancé, so what is the Brazilian beauty up to next?

Larissa's 90 Day Fiancé Journey Explained

Larissa & Colt Are 90 Day Fiancé's Most Iconic Pair

The self-described “mommy’s boy” Colt had met Larissa online. Colt tried dating a few American women online but started looking outside the country when he met Larissa. He had sent Larissa a message, and to his surprise, she actually responded. They met in real life for the first time while on a vacation in Cancun, Mexico. Colt thought he was having a heart attack when he saw Larissa because she was the “most beautiful woman” he had ever seen. Colt had proposed to Larissa on the fifth and final day of vacation when she said yes.

Once Larissa moved to the U.S., reality struck. They started arguing while at the airport, and Colt noted how she came to America and hadn't stopped complaining since her arrival. Colt’s dynamic with his mom, Debbie Johnson, also made Larissa uncomfortable. Their wedding planning process was anything but smooth, and Larissa was arrested just days before the wedding. She was arrested again in the same year, and even though the charges in both cases were dropped their explosive fights are still fresh in fans’ minds.

According to Heavy, Larissa was ordered to pay a $345 fine, serve 48 hours of community service, and attend domestic violence counseling. Larissa was at risk of being deported, but her immigration status wasn’t affected until much later. Larissa met Eric Nichols a year after she arrived in the U.S. on Tinder. She celebrated her divorce by partying in Las Vegas together. Larissa also filed a police report against Eric for harassment in September 2019, but they got back together to have an on-off relationship.

Why Larissa Had To Leave 90 Day Fiancé

2020 Was A Year Of Ups & Downs For Larissa

In September 2020, Us Weekly reported Larissa confirmed she was fired from 90 Day Fiancé. Calling it her final statement, Larissa said she was released from her contract because of her show on the CamSoda platform. Larissa had appeared on an adult lingerie webcam show for the live-streaming site where she was going to reveal the results of her reported $72,000 in cosmetic surgery procedures. Larissa had a completely new body and face to resemble Kylie Jenner via procedures such as a nose job and breast augmentation.

Larissa Was Arrested By ICE The Next Day

Larissa's Arrest Shocked 90 Day Fiancé Fans

Larissa was taken into custody in Las Vegas in September 2020 while she was getting into a U-Haul truck with Eric and heading to Colorado by ICE Officials. Larissa was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement but was freed from custody after being arrested for what her representative said was a misunderstanding, which, according to the LA Times, was promptly handled by her legal team. Larissa ended up moving to Colorado with Eric eventually. However, her stay there was temporary. Larissa soon returned to Las Vegas, where she has been since living and thriving.

Larissa's Life After 90 Day Fiancé Has Been Exciting

Larissa Is Done Burning Bridges

In July 2022, Larissa spoke out after a botched plastic surgery procedure. Larissa revealed she had been living without a belly button for over a year. Larissa had gone to great lengths to change her appearance. She got ab implants and 1500cc saline implants in each breast. She claimed she underwent abdominoplasty, and her belly button was removed and disposed of without her consent. Several painful revisions later, Larissa’s belly button was still not fixed. However, the harrowing experience didn’t stop Larissa from getting more surgeries in the future.

Larissa made headlines in May 2023 when she revealed she had reconnected with her former mother-in-law, Debbie, in Las Vegas. Larissa joined Debbie and Debbie’s boyfriend, Tony, for a fancy meal at Fogo de Chao in Las Vegas. Debbie shared a photo from the special occasion and called Larissa her favorite person. Debbie and Larissa’s new friendship, especially after their tumultuous mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship on screen, was shocking to viewers. The duo is still friends in 2024.
