90 Day Fiance star Colt Johnson has revealed he's attempting to cancel Larissa Christina Dos Santos Lima's green card, all the while insisting he never actually cheated on his now-estranged wife.

"I never cheated on my wife at all," Colt, 33, told Us Weekly.

Larissa had accused Colt of flirting and exchanging racy photos with women via text message and buying pornographic videos. She ranted and raved on social media about Colt being a cheater and how she couldn't trust him.
Although Colt owned up to making mistakes in his marriage, he insists he never physically cheated on her and is the victim in the situation.

With that being said, Colt filed for divorce from Larissa, 32, on January 11, and is apparently hoping she is forced to leave the United States and return to Brazil, which may be a likely scenario given she was arrested several times over the last year.
"I'm attempting to cancel her adjustment of status," Colt told Us. "[To] cancel her green card.”
As for whether Colt believes Larissa had used him to start a life in America, he reasoned, "I'll never know... I don't know if she used me... But right now, how she's acting -- showing no love or affection toward me whatsoever -- that's all I can base my feelings on right now. To be honest with you, I feel very used right now."
Colt said he has attempted to contact Larissa since his divorce filing but never heard anything back.
"She blocked me on every platform and way. She won't answer emails," Colt alleged.

"I tried contacted her through texting and phone calls. I don't even know where she's staying at... She does have a friend in Vegas so I can only assume that she's there, but again I don't know."

Colt claimed Larissa is "trying to carry on her reality television moment of fame by painting up the current case as a 'bitter divorce' when nothing could be further from the truth."
Colt filed the divorce paperwork on the same day Larissa was charged with first-degree domestic battery following a heated altercation at the couple's home in Las Vegas.
"The night before I filed for divorce, Larissa and I had a fight, and she assaulted me, and she left. Actually, I have not seen her since then," Colt shared.

"It's too much... I thought, it's not going to get better, and whatever is going on is not going to stop. So I filed for divorce."
The software engineer told Us that "one charge is still open" in the domestic battery case but he's "not pressing charges."
The case reportedly goes to trial in April but Colt does not expect the divorce proceedings to have an "easy resolution."
"She counterclaimed my initial petition, but I don't know exactly what that is," Colt admitted to the magazine.
"Unfortunately, this will not be a quick battle, it's going to go on for a while. I don't know how long. This is my first rodeo through divorce, so I'm learning every day new things about it."

Colt and Larissa certainly haven't been acting brokenhearted although their marriage failed. In fact, the couple planned separate "divorce parties" for this upcoming weekend.
Colt revealed he has a date for his divorce party in Las Vegas on March 1 -- a woman he hasn't met yet but is "excited" to spend time with.
And as for Larissa, she currently has a new 26-year-old boyfriend whom she will reportedly debut at her divorce party on March 2.
When asked to disclose his thoughts on Larissa's new relationship, Colt replied, "Whatever," adding that people have sent him "some snippets of her exploits."
"There are a lot of deep emotions there," Colt said of his ex. "On the other hand, I'm trying to get out of this situation and move on with my life."
"I loved her," Colt continued. "I married her. I said my vows to her. I wanted to build a life with her. It's unfortunate it didn't work out, but nothing I did on the show was fake or enhanced for drama."
Colt, however, confirmed his romantic feelings for Larissa have since vanished.
"I don't love her anymore," Colt told Us.

And if Larissa asked for a second chance, Colt confessed, "I don't even know I would accept the call, honestly. I feel like it's too late. There's nothing much she could say to make it better in my mind."

Colt's relationship with Larissa was clearly volatile and tumultuous, but his experience apparently hasn't tainted his views on marriage.
"I do want to find that one person, but I have to be more careful and cautious and be sure, and I think I learned a lot from this experience," Colt said. "I'm hopeful one day that I will find someone that I can spend the rest of my life with."
Larissa confirmed earlier this month she and Colt expect their previously-filmed footage will still be part of Season 4 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? when the 90 Day Fiance spinoff returns to TLC this spring.
