90-Day Fiance star Colt Johnson has hit an all-time low that no other cast member has reached before. According to celebrity blogger John Yates, Colt and Vanessa finalized their divorce in February 2024, leaving him jobless, broke, and homeless. His life has spiraled into a state of despair that he has never experienced before.
Severe health problems have also compounded Colt's situation, as he broke his leg twice while filming for a couple of 90 Day Fiancé spin-off shows. Without money or health insurance, he struggles to cover the costs of his needed surgeries, rehabilitation, and medications. Colt found himself in a helpless position and started using and manipulating everyone he knew to get help.
Fellow cast member Cortney Reardanz took pity on Colt and offered him a place to stay in her home in Orlando, Florida. She even tried to help him get medical treatment, but Colt's lack of insurance and unresolved legal problems with the IRS made it impossible. Colt has been evading tax debts and is at risk of imprisonment if he doesn't resolve his issues.
During his stay in Orlando, Colt and Cortney began dating. However, according to John Yates, Colt is merely using Cortney until something better comes along. Colt's life in the US is a nightmare—he's perpetually broke, his health is failing, and he can't do anything about it. His appearance on the 90 Day Fiancé franchise has made him undatable in the US, as many American women on dating apps recognize him and refuse to give him a chance.
In a desperate bid to escape his dire circumstances in the US and start fresh, Colt is looking overseas for a loophole to be adopted as an adult. This move would help him flee the IRS and his past. John Yates' recent livestream revealed that Colt is already cheating on Cortney with a wealthy Brazilian woman. This woman plans to help Colt leave the US by adopting him. However, this process will be complicated, and Colt risks arrest for tax evasion and fraud. Despite the high stakes, Colt sees no other option and is desperate to leave the US, where he feels alienated from everyone and everything.
