Following the incident, Johnson took to his Instagram Story, which was captured by fans, to explain how Larissa's arrest came to fruition. "Larissa was arrested this afternoon. She suffers from high anxiety and several [sic] depression," he wrote in the since-deleted photos. "She over reacted to problems that do not exist."

He then revealed that he was the one to "deactivate her phone," but that it was in order 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 season six star said.

He continued, "The police interviewed us but not long after they decided to arrest Larissa. 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."

Not long after her arrest, Dos Santos Lima spoke out on Instagram. In the since-deleted message, the 32-year-old told fans, "Nobody was scratched or hurt. I'm not severely depressed. I had depression and anxiety after my first time in prison. I went to doctor and after we found the best medicine. I'm good. My first time on jail was decisive for my second arrest, please don't share things that they have a reason. The only reason was my first arrest even was dismissed. Thank you [sic]."
