90 Day Fiance Star Colt Johnson’s life has been filled with dizzying ups and downs, and now, he runs the risk of losing his leg. The franchise’s controversial star never had a heart of gold, but someone would have to be downright cruel to wish Colt harm now. The threat of amputation is very serious.
This latest health setback can be life-changing and is yet another example of how turbulent and dramatic Colt’s journey through life has been.
He must be having some dark thoughts as Colt deals with a new leg injury. He’s been through so much. This is not the first time he has been injured. Previously, he had a serious accident while jumping on a trampoline. Both times, he was filming. He may feel cursed, as if anything he does to try to make a living could lead to disaster. Colt is a polarizing figure in the 90 Day Fiance franchise, but people never cancel it. He’s someone they enjoy watching.

Colt Johnson could lose his leg
Will he become an amputee?
When he was injured, Colt was filming in Mexico. According to John Yates on Instagram (he often breaks reality TV news), Colt may have to endure:
possible amputation.
Previously during filming 90 Days: The Last ResortColt was seriously injured. In fact, his injuries were so severe that they made headlines. This first accident highlighted how fragile the human body can be. A fraction of a second can change everything, leaving a person very different from what they were before.
He seemed to heal, but retreated from the spotlight, becoming a replacement for Howard Hughes (the talented businessman became a recluse – Hughes was played by Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese’s film, The Aviator). When Colt began to avoid the spotlight, it signaled a radical change in his personality. That’s what a serious health problem can do.
As he began to recover, it looked like Colt might come back to his fans, and he finally did. However, he was destined to get hurt again. This latest accident could be even more serious.
These types of challenges often build character, but at what cost? If Colt is facing amputation, he is living in dread and terror. This is terrible.

Colt and Larissa Lima had a dysfunctional relationship
They were a horrible combination
According to the TLC UK In the YouTube clip shown above, Colt’s ex Larissa Lima was a huge diva. His antics displayed an arrogant, greedy, and domineering personality. Imagine Miss Piggy in a blind rage to get a sense of Larissa at her worst. Although Larissa is a beautiful woman, her ugly qualities rob her of some charm. However, she is still very charismatic. When Colt got involved with Larissa, he was dragged into a rollercoaster.
Larissa’s temper is explosive. In truth, Colt said he is generally attracted to women with a very hot temper. That’s what he gravitates towards, but with Larissa, he really had to duck and protect himself. Sometimes he couldn’t escape her violence and verbal tirades. Larissa loves herself, and anyone who gets in the way of her dreams will pay the price.
She may be kinder now, but at her gold-hunting worst, Larissa was occasionally a nightmare – a user consumed by vanity and the desire for expensive goods. She was not a woman who was genuinely in love with a man – with his face, his body and his mind. Instead, she wanted everything she could get from her “partner.” Obviously, this is the opposite of true love. The relationship was entirely transactional and, in a sense, very close to prostitution.
However, no one is judging Larissa for making the choice she did. No, she wasn’t nice, but life in poorer countries is different, and when people from these nations do whatever it takes to get to America, who can blame them? For example, if someone lives in poverty in the Third World and chooses to find an American partner who simplifies access to food, shelter, and other things, is it morally wrong to “use” those people?
It’s a moral and complicated dilemma. American partners sometimes seem to prey on poorer partners, exchanging money and other perks for “romance.” Therefore, “using” goes both ways. People should avoid transactional relationships as they rarely end well and can cast long shadows.

Colt’s relationship with Jess Caroline was no better
He betrayed her
Colt treated Jess Caroline so badly that she threw a high heel shoe at him. Yes, that was wrong, but she was definitely provoked. He tricked the Brazilian redhead for a while while secretly cheating on her. He abandoned his relationship with Jess so he could sleep with Vanessa, whom he later married.
Jess was probably a user too. She may have had an ulterior motive for trying to make things work with Colt. Her most likely motivation was to get a green card, but when her relationship with Colt failed, she found an alternative solution. She married a musician, Brian Hanvey, and now lives in America. So Colt is definitely not the only conduit to a goal. He is someone that women have tried to take advantage of. However, he also played the villain.
Hopefully your illness will teach you something about life. It’s really too short to spend emotionally abusing other people. He needs to learn to talk maturely with women about problems. He needs to learn to tell the whole truth. If he can do these things, his whole life will change. Until he does, he will never get anywhere.

Colt couldn’t make his marriage to Vanessa work
He seemed to love her
Vanessa seemed like Colt’s true love. He was more enchanted by her than anyone else – even the firecracker Larissa. In fact, Vanessa seemed like the woman of Colt’s dreams. Still, he couldn’t make his marriage last. Colt, a Gemini, has always had an immature streak. He is constantly unable to appear as a man. Perhaps being outdone by the irritable and possessive Debbie Johnson left him psychologically scarred.
Vanessa seemed to get along well with Debbie, forming a bond with the difficult woman. However, this bond would break. The mother-in-law’s problems began to separate the two and may have led to the end of Colt’s marriage. Colt wanted emotional distance from his mother and this may be why. Debbie is not exactly a “live and let live” person. She wants to control everything and everyone. Ultimately, people who are being controlled find ways to rebel. Nobody wants to be a puppet.

Colt’s dynamic with his mother is often disturbing
Will they ever be okay?
Norman Bates had serious issues with his mother in Alfred Hitchcock’s classic, Psychopathand Colt could be giving this iconic character a run for his money. In the Instagram post above, Deborah He plays in Las Vegas and seems like a very happy person, but there is a weak point. With Colt, she was often means, controlling and strange. It makes sense that he would shy away from her behavior, which was extremely inappropriate. At times, he may have considered Debbie a monster, just as Larissa considered her a monster sister-in-law.
As a mother, Debbie hovered, but did she love her son unconditionally? Maybe not. He had to follow her rules to stay in her good graces, and the rules were bizarre. To keep Debbie happy, he would basically have to let her run his entire life. Why would anyone agree to this? Her interference in his relationships led to their breakup. This may have ruined the relationship she valued most – the one with Vanessa.
It’s good that Colt and Debbie have space – they don’t have to be like two peas in a pod every day. Over time, they will be able to repair your break. Forgiveness is always possible. However, with space comes perspective. It allows both sides to accurately assess situations and make better decisions. Space can be liberating and healthy.

Colt had a surprising weight loss journey
He changed his body completely
Foal worked hard to change her body – see her slimmer face in the Instagram post shown above. He lost between 40 and 60 kilos. Because his body’s transformation is so dramatic, the news of his subsequent injuries is sad. Often, when people become sick or injured, they become less fit. They need to lie down more because they are not feeling well or because of injuries that negatively affect their mobility.
Some people don’t know how to accept people who don’t look like Barbie and Ken dolls.
Hopefully Colt will make a full recovery. It would be horrible if he lost mobility due to a leg amputation. Yes, people can move on after so much suffering. Many people with disabilities are happy. However, shortcomings add challenges. Colt’s body makeover was impressive – on screen, he was shown working out in his garage. He did everything, lost weight dramatically. In the past, he has had to deal with bullying when cameras caught him in a Speedo swimsuit. Some people don’t know how to accept people who don’t look like Barbie and Ken dolls.

Colt was accused of cheating on Vanessa
Is he guilty?
Custom image by César García
There were rumors that Colt cheated once again while married to Vanessa. Based on his history, he may be a serial cheater. Larissa also accused him of infidelity. If the gossip about Colt being unfaithful to Vanessa is true, he really ruined his marriage. Surrendering to the heat of the moment is often a mistake, but people are not robots. Sometimes they behave badly, but they believe they are following their hearts. If Colt destroyed his marriage, he’s not alone, but sometimes letting a bad relationship die is the smartest strategy. Maybe when there’s infidelity it’s a sign that things just aren’t right.
There are relationships without these types of problems. Not everyone is a cheater. Colt may do better in non-monogamous relationships. Why pretend to be a nice guy when he simply isn’t? Instead, Colt can feel free to admit that he simply can’t be faithful—he can date people who also can’t be faithful. Then life can actually be fun for a change!

Colt put a financial strain on Debbie
He wanted to leave her with expensive rent
Colt seemed heartless when he decided to leave the home he shared with his mother and find greener pastures. There was an expensive rental that Debbie would stay at. However, despite the financial tangle, it was probably best for the two to part ways. They had happy times, like when Debbie made Colt her favorite foods. She even cut his flesh. However, not everything was sunshine and roses.
The two were simply very close. Colt really couldn’t live his own life. At some point, the mother has to step back and let the child live. The adult child needs freedom to roam. Debbie could never cut her apron strings. She keeps trying to control her son when she should have let Colt be who he was. She taught him that relationships involve controlling other people – which is not a good lesson to learn, and he has been extremely unsuccessful in terms of his romances.
90 Day FianceColt is a troubled soul who will hopefully be happier someday. His health problems are serious and his marriage is over, but there is always hope. With a positive mindset, Colt can overcome a lot of pain and suffering. When he focuses on choosing happiness, he will be on the right path. It’s not always about finding a partner or anything like that. It might just be cultivating a strong sense of identity, whether in partnership or not. Colt has a lot of potential and will hopefully have the chance to achieve everything he can.
