"I [need] time to try and heal my relationship with Colt, it's fragile now. I love him, he loves me, so you try and manage all the situation and you try to work it and figure out all the legal issues," Larissa said in a series of Instagram Stories videos she posted late Monday night.
"I ask you guys, please, don't tag me, don't send me gossips, don't -- I want the time for healing."
Larissa also urged 90 Day Fiance viewers to not believe gossip reports claiming to have "inside information" about the couple's situation.
"To all my fans -- don't believe in people who say that they has inside information, they just want to spread gossip. They say that they are my friends, but I never saw them in person," she said. "Don't believe in them, they just want fame."
Shortly after her release on Monday, the 90 Day Fiance star had also posted an Instagram Stories text image thanking her followers for their support.
"Hello everyone. Thank you for the support and love. I am safe and resting," she wrote.
"The past 48 hours have been the most difficult in life. But reading the messages from all of you has made me smile. God bless and thank you. I'll update soon."

Larissa's arrest occurred after she had posted a series of troubling comments and Instagram Stories videos on Instagram on Saturday that culminated with the 90 Day Fiance star asking her followers for help and claiming she had locked herself in a bathroom after Colt took her phone following an argument she was posting about online.
In addition to the comments and videos she posted using a laptop she still had access to, Larissa also changed her Instagram username to "helpmeimwithoutphone" and updated her bio description to list her phone number and repeatedly plea for help.

In a series of three Instagram Story text images he later deleted, Colt said the incident occurred because Larissa -- whom he also confirmed is now his wife -- suffers from anxiety and depression.
"Larissa was arrested this afternoon. She suffers from high anxiety and several depression. She over reacted to problems that do not exist," he wrote.
According to Colt, the police were called to the couple's home by Instagram followers who saw Larissa's online postings -- not him.

"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," 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."
Colt's mother Debbie -- who was flying to New York to appear on Sunday night's 90 Day Live broadcast at the time of the incident -- also addressed Larissa's arrest on her own Instagram page and blamed it on "fans" before subsequently deleting her comments.

"She works herself up to an emotional breakdown. My son usually takes care of it but a few of you decided to get the police involved and they took her to jail. What wonder fans she has."
Saturday's events appear to have begun after Larissa posted a series of Instagram Stories videos -- in both English and Portuguese -- in which she said she couldn't "lie" and "pretend" anymore and claimed the reason she doesn't post about Colt on Instagram is because Colt has told her not to do so.

In addition, Larissa also suggested it was because Colt wanted other women to still believe he is single.
"I will explain again because people doesn't understand... Colt asks me to don't follow him, don't post anything about him. This is the reason I hide any content, everything about him... I can't lie, I can't pretend anymore," the 90 Day Fiance star said.
"The truth is the girls message him -- girls that you, never you believe, everyone messages him -- and he believe if he show us, [if] I show that we are happy... the girls will be stopping, it's extremely selfish," she continued.
"To be honest, I want to cry because I feel like sh-t. But it is truth... I can't keep lying, lying, lying... because I'm tired, I'm tired of this game!"
Larissa then elaborated further in another Instagram Story video.
"No, we don't break up... I still do things for him -- but he doesn't like to show us together. He doesn't like to show, understand?" she said.
After another video in which she reiterated her claims that Colt doesn't want her to post anything about him so "girls" will think he's single, Larissa then posted a video in which she alleged Colt had returned home with flowers while she was cleaning but then knocked over a tall shelving unit after they argued.
"I was cleaning, look at what she did in the house. It's ridiculous... he never did anything housey, and he doesn't respect it... people that want to work, people that wants to organize," she vented. "Colt fans, look at now who he is!"
"I said, 'Ok, I accept the flowers but what you are doing is wrong. Stop the lies, stop to pretend to people that we are not together,'" Larissa said in her final video. "Then he put the flowers down and he did it!"

"PLEASE SEND TO HIM GIVE MY PHYONE BACK I CANT LEAVE THE ROOM," she wrote after posting Colt's phone number.
"I NCANT POST USING MACBOK E CANT USE MACKBOOK HE WANTS CREAT A SITUATIO TO CALL THE POLICE"
Colt, a 33-year-old software engineer from Las Vegas, NV, met Larissa, a 31-year-old from Brazil, on social media.
Colt and Larissa eventually both traveled to Cancun, Mexico to meet-up in person, Colt proposed after just five days together.
