90 Day Fiance: Leida Margaretha Ordered to Surrender Passport Amid Legal Trouble
Leida Margaretha’s legal battles continue to escalate in 2025. Earlier this year, police arrested her on charges of domestic violence and animal abuse after she allegedly hit the family dog and threatened to harm herself. She was released on bail and later revealed she was pregnant. But things took a darker turn on July 17, when Wisconsin authorities arrested her again for bail jumping. The court immediately ordered her to surrender her passport and banned her from leaving the state, citing her as a potential flight risk.
Prosecutors claim Leida had planned to flee to Indonesia, citing her statement about getting a passport for her daughter and wanting to reunite with her son from a previous relationship. She also remains a suspect in her infant daughter’s tragic death. Meanwhile, Leida and her husband Eric have ended their marriage and announced their separation on Facebook. A court hearing is scheduled for August 27.
90 Day Fiance: Leida Wrote A Heartfelt Plea Letter To The Judge!
Leida recently wrote a letter to the judge, trying to clear out her perspective about the entire bail jumping misunderstanding. She explained that authorities charged her with bail jumping because she didn’t update her new address and phone number. While she accepted that she fell behind, she said it happened because of the emotional distress she was going through.

The reality TV star wrote this letter on July 17, while she remained behind bars. She explained that she never intended to avoid updating her information, but she simply couldn’t do it after losing her child. She said she was not in the mental space to think clearly and felt devastated as a mother. Because she couldn’t think straight, she failed to update her documents.
Margaretha clarified that she remained unaware of things happening in her life over the past few weeks. She shared that she couldn’t eat, sleep, or think clearly because of the death of her five-week-old baby. As a grieving mother, she asked the judge, who is also a mother, to understand her situation.
Leida said she has been spending her days mourning the loss and dealing with the overwhelming grief. She tried to explain her intentions and what led to the violation. She expressed hope that the judge would understand her circumstances and revoke the charges against her. For all the latest reality TV updates, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers.
