While most married people try to avoid divorce at all costs, some of the stars of TLC's hit reality series are worried about something even more serious: deportation.
Still, the show's track record in its previous five seasons has been surprisingly good.
"Our batting average on this show is that out of every 25 couples on 90 Day FiancΓ©, we've only had three divorces," the show's executive producer Matt Sharp boasted last summer. "That's less than 10% and the current U.S. (divorce) rate is over 40%. It's one of the reasons why people love this show, it's so unexpected."
Unfortunately, season six's couples are knocking that average down a bit, as two pairs have already started divorce proceedings, while another is separated.
Colt Johnson filed for divorce from Larissa Dos Santos Lima after secretly marrying seven months prior, as well as an affidavit of resident witness and a request for issuance of joint preliminary injunction.
The filing came after two incidents involving the police for the couple. Larissa was arrested for alleged domestic battery in November, going onto publicly accuse Colt of cheating on her the following month. While Clark County District Attorney dismissed the domestic battery case, Larissa was charged with misdemeanor battery, domestic violence following an apparent fight between the couple on the same day Colt filed for divorce.
Following Colt's filing, Larissa started a GoFundMe page to help "with her new start," with the funds raised going to immigration and divorce attorney fees, along with basic living expenses for two months.
The page, which is no longer accepting donations after achieving its goal of $5,000, explained, "She is getting divorce and she is still not allowed to work in the United States. She did not get paid for the show because she does not have a work permit yet. At this time, she has no financial support."
