'90 Day Fiancé Update': Larissa Returns To Instagram After Domestic Battery Arrest

90 Day Fiancé's Larissa Dos Santos Lima has been released from jail, according to her Instagram story. Larissa was arrested for domestic battery Saturday after documenting a fight with husband Colt Johnson on Instagram and asking fans for help.

Larissa returned to her Instagram story and asked fans for privacy and support as she heals her relationship with Colt. She noted the relationship is "fragile" but they remain in love. She also asked her fans to refrain from sending her press on her arrest and relationship with Colt.

The arrest came, allegedly, from Instagram users calling the police to aid Larissa. On Saturday, the reality star changed her Instagram handle and bio to call for help. The handle, which has now returned to normal, read "helpmeimwithoutphone" and her bio included cries for help like "help me, he wants to call the police help me."

Earlier in the day, Larissa had shared the aftermath of a fight between her and Colt. She claimed she was cleaning when he flipped over a shelf in anger. After she posted a video of the shelf on Instagram, along with a series of videos explaining their relationship isn't perfect and Colt often restricts her social media usage, Colt admitted to deactivating Larissa's phone.

He explained the dramatic Saturday on his own Instagram in a now-deleted post.

"Larissa was arrested this afternoon," he wrote. "She suffers from high anxiety and several depression. She overreacted to problems that do not exist."

Colt also explained his decision to deactivate her phone. "I proceeded to deactivate her phone to try to defuse the situation. This escalated issues and matters became worse. She felt this action was a threat towards her and tried to reach out for help. Now long after her cry was posted, the police came and knocked down the front door. They drew their guns at me and handcuffed me."

Larissa's bail was set at $3,000. On Monday, Colt uploaded an illustration of Homer Simpson to his Instagram account and captioned it with his feelings on the situation. "Self-proclaimed internet sleuths who think they are Woodward and Bernstein," the caption read. "They are simply people that spread misinformation, lies and chaos to make themselves look important. They are nothing and will never be relevant."

Larissa will be seen in court for the incident on December 11, according to In Touch. Her original court date was scheduled for November 13 but was pushed back for an unknown reason.
