Colt Johnson’s Return to the 90 Day Fiancé Franchise: A Journey of Challenges and Resilience

Colt Johnson, a familiar face from the popular reality series 90 Day Fiancé, is making a notable comeback to the franchise after a significant hiatus. His return comes after a series of personal challenges, including a serious injury that sparked rumors of a leg amputation. The Las Vegas native first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé Season 6, where his tumultuous marriage to Brazilian native Larissa Lima was marked by conflict, leading to her three arrests. Following his divorce from Larissa, Colt entered into a relationship with Jess Caroline but was later caught cheating with multiple women, including his second ex-wife, Vanessa Guerra. Now married to Vanessa after a season of exploring their relationship on The Single Life, Colt’s rollercoaster love life has continued to attract attention.

Colt has always had a complex relationship with his mother, Debbie Johnson. While they were once very close, Colt has grown to recognize how Debbie’s intrusive nature impacted his romantic endeavors. This realization has ultimately caused a rift between mother and son. Despite his awareness, Colt’s second marriage to Vanessa ended in early 2024 when she expressed that her feelings for him had diminished. Speculations arose about Colt’s fidelity when he was spotted using a dating app, leading to further drama in his life. Recently, he has been named a cast member of 90 Day: Hunt For Love and is reportedly mending fences with his mother.

Colt’s Injuries Amidst Filming

Shock at Colt’s Injuries

A shocking update emerged in January 2023 when Vanessa posted a photo of Colt in a hospital bed, revealing he had suffered a broken leg in December. The injury required multiple surgeries and left him wheelchair-bound, complicating his recovery further with bladder issues due to pain management medication. Vanessa estimated a lengthy recovery period of up to eight months.

“He’s actually more independent now than before he broke his leg.”

As details surrounding the accident remained under wraps for some time, it was revealed that the mishap occurred while filming a trampoline scene. By September 2023, Vanessa disclosed that Colt’s filming was interrupted due to the injury sustained during the production of The Last Resort, leading to casting changes in the show.

Despite hopes that Colt’s recovery would proceed without further complications, December 2023 brought more bad news. Following his fourth surgery, Colt developed serious issues that necessitated a fifth operation, with Vanessa sharing updates on his condition and expressing her distress.

Colt Faces Another Severe Injury

Near-Fatal Incident During Filming

In October 2024, while filming in Mexico for 90 Day: Hunt For Love, Colt encountered another traumatic injury. Reports indicated he suffered a severe break in the same leg he had previously injured, an incident described as life-threatening. This new development occurred as he continued to navigate the complexities of his recovery journey without Vanessa’s support.

Was Rapid Weight Loss a Factor in Colt’s Accident?

Controversy Surrounding Weight Loss Drug

Speculation has arisen about whether Colt’s health issues may have been exacerbated by his rapid weight loss. Allegations point to Colt using Ozempic, a weight-loss medication associated with severe side effects including bone density reduction. As he grappled with recovery from significant leg injuries, this could have rendered him especially susceptible to additional harm.

Complications from a previously broken tibia and ongoing infections jeopardized healing processes, leading experts to speculate on drastic medical interventions. Meanwhile, personal dynamics grew complicated as Colt navigated relationships during this tumultuous time, even forging new connections while staying with Cortney Reardanz in Florida.
