Larissa Dos Santos Lima and Colt Johnson are (GASP!) Married!

We have an update on the domestic situation between Larissa Dos Santos Lima and Colt Johnson. But this one doesn’t involve any acts of alleged violence. Instead, it involves… … wedding bells! It’s surprising, but true! According to Clark County Court in Nevada, Johnson and Dos Santos Lima applied for their marriage license on June 11, 2018 and exchanged vows about two weeks later. Radar Online was the first website to report this shocking piece of news. Is it shocking that a couple who starred together on 90 Day Fiance actually went through with their marriage? Not necessarily, no. But Larissa was arrested on a charge of domestic violence on November 10. Here is her mugshot, which was snapped prior to her posting of $1,000 bail: Shortly before her arrest, Larissa strongly implied that there was a major disturbance between her and Johnson. She changed her Instagram handle to @helpmeimwithoutphone and posted a message that read: “HELP ME …HE TURNED OFF HIDE MY PHONE HELP ME HE WANTS TO CALL THE POLICE HELP ME.” From there, in a series of Instagram Story messages Colt shared his side of this unusual story with followers, writing; “Larissa was arrested this afternoon. She suffers from high anxiety and several depression. She over reacted to problems that do not exist.” In screen captures of posts that were later deleted, Colt added: “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. Not long after her cry was posted, the police came and knocked down the front door. “They drew their guns at me and handcuffed me.” The arrest details are pretty ugly all around . “The police interviewed us but not long after they decided to arrest Larissa,” Colt’s message continued at the time, concluding: “No one was hurt and I did not press charges against my wife. “However it is policy in the state of Nevada that since we are in a domestic partnership, someone had to be arrested.” Larissa hails from Brazil and met Colt via social media. The duo met up in Mexico and Colt later proposed after mere days. According to court records obtained by E! News, this was Larissa’s second arrest for domestic violence, as she was previously taken into custody earlier this year … although those charges have since been dismissed. Her past, however, remains a big question mark for fans of this reality show. Fueling the speculative fire around Larissa and Colt is that their season of 90 Day Fiance is currently on the air. On the most recent episode, Dos Santos Lima convinced Colt to move out of the home he shared with his mom and her cats. In a preview for next week’s installment, she fights with Johnson’s extended family because they’re worried she’s using their loved for a green card. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Stars: How Much Are They Paid? These episodes, of course, were filmed many months ago. Before the domestic violence arrest. Before the marriage. Before these two became one of the more notorious couples on television. Will their union last? Only time, readers, will tell.

Everything We Know About Olympic Champion Michael Johnson Suffering A Stroke

O lympic gold medal sprinter Michael Johnson announced Saturday that he’s recovering after recently suffering a mini-stroke. SEE ALSO:  Here’s How Colin Kaepernick Is Beating The NFL Johnson “surprisingly” had what’s known as a Transient Ischemic Attack, or TIA, last week, he said in a Twitter post . The retired athlete is now at home with his family after doctors cleared him of cardiac issues. He’s expected to make a full recovery, as Johnson continues to make significant progress. “It seems these things can affect anyone, even the once fastest man in the world!” he stated. “I’m no stranger to a good exercise plan and have thrown myself into it with my usual focus and determination. … I will be posting updates on my recovery often. Thanks for all the words of encouragement!” Michael Johnson: Four-time Olympic champion recovering after 'mini-stroke' https://t.co/OcqE5LGS8k — BBC News (UK) (@BBCNews) September 8, 2018 A TIA is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain, according to the American Stroke Association . TIAs are often labelled mini-strokes because they can be relatively minor in terms of immediate consequences. Since it doesn’t cause permanent damage, having a TIA is often ignored as no big deal, the stroke association said. However, it’s better viewed as a “warning stroke” because they could indicate a high likelihood of a more serious stroke. The four-time Olympic champion, who will turn 51 on Sept. 13, was once the fastest man in the world at 200 meter and 400-meter races, reported BBC News , where he works as an expert track and field commentator. Johnson participated in the Olympics three times, in 1992, 1996 and 2000. He was the first man to win both the 200 meter and 400-meter race at the same Olympic game (1996 in Atlanta). He’s also won eight gold medals at the IAAF World Championships from 1991- 1999 and was elected into the United States Track and Field Hall of Fame in 2004.

BET Founder Says He Was Racially Profiled For Keeping Sunglasses On

B ob Johnson , the founder of Black Entertainment Television, recently said that an employee at a luxurious Florida hotel discriminated against him. The billionaire explained that he was racially profiled because he refused to take off his prescription sunglasses. RELATED:  BET Founder Says Corporations Should Consider More Black Execs Johnson’s story is one of the latest high-profile accounts of “Living while Black.” The billionaire was denied check-in at Eau Palm Beach in Manalapan, Florida after a fishing trip on Aug. 24, according to ABC affiliate WPBF . The incident started when a hotel employee told Johnson, who was supposed to stay two nights at the hotel, to take off his sunglasses. Bob Johnson, BET founder, accuses Fla. hotel of ‘racial profiling’ https://t.co/qFtPqPC4tm — The Washington Times (@WashTimes) September 4, 2018 “She said, ‘Well, I can’t check you in if you don’t take off your glasses,’” asserts Johnson, who had shown his state driver’s license, American Express credit card and passport to the employee. “I said, ‘Well, I’m not taking off my glasses.’” The incident ended with the police being called. No compromise was reached between the two parties, Johnson said. He left the hotel without any resolution and felt “humiliated.” The clerk was adhering to standard policy, a spokesman for Eau Palm Beach said. “It is standard operating procedure in the industry to ask to make sure that the person who is presenting themselves to check-in and they present identification that it does match and if they’re wearing dark glasses with a ball cap low over their face, you want to make sure that it is the same person, much like what would happen at TSA rules going through the airport,” spokesman  Nick Gold  said. “I think it’s a silly rule and I think it has overtones of racial profiling,” said Johnson, who became the first Black billionaire when he sold BET in 2001 and owns several hotels, adding that he would never return to the hotel.
