Leida Margaretha’s 1st Court Appearance Date Revealed

How Is Leida's Relationship With Her Family Members?

At the time, it was revealed that Leida was working as a bookkeeper at a glass decorating business named Loggerhead Deco. The owners of the company had contacted the police in Portage, Wisconsin, and alleged that Leida had made fraudulent payments and withdrawals to several outside business accounts and customers. Leida had allegedly been using the company’s account information to do so. According to the police, “victims” had reported that there were thousands of dollars missing from their accounts. There was a chance Leida could face more charges after the investigation continued.

As of May 8, 2024, Leida’s charges have been officially filed on record. Leida’s first court appearance has been set for June 12, 2024, at 9 a.m. She recently made a comeback to Instagram after allegedly filing for divorce from Eric. Leida shared several romantic videos with her husband but didn’t share anything relating to her arrest when she was suspected of stealing thousands of dollars from her workplace. In March 2024, Leida was charged with allegedly speeding for diving 15 MPH over the 55 MPH speed limit.

Leida’s Instagram has been hinting at her trying to make amends with Eric and his family members, including Alari, whose wedding she recently attended. Leida even posted a sweet selfie with her mother-in-law from Alari’s wedding ceremony. The common perception about Leida right now is that she is getting punished for her misdeeds. It’s been a long time since she was on 90 Day Fiancé, and she vowed to never return to the franchise after being harassed online. Leida’s dramatic life off-screen is driving curiosity about everything that happened between her and Eric since their exit.

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
