90 Day Fiancé Star's Arrest: Bodycam Tells a Different Story

When a relationship implodes on national television, the fallout rarely stays private. And now, body camera footage from a Nevada police response is pulling back the curtain on what went down between 90 Day Fiancé stars Thais Ramone and Patrick Mendes during a heated May confrontation.

The incident unfolded just days after Patrick Mendes served Thais Ramone with divorce papers. According to the police report and bodycam footage, Patrick Mendes showed up at the home to allow their child to say goodbye before Thais departed for Brazil. What started as a custody moment spiraled into a physical confrontation. Patrick Mendes told officers that Thais Ramone slapped him across the face during the argument, and the video evidence he provided appeared to support his account. Officers documented visible marks on his face consistent with his claims.

But here’s where the narrative gets complicated. When interviewed separately, Thais Ramone acknowledged the confrontation but framed it differently—telling police that Patrick Mendes had been controlling throughout their relationship and that she acted in self-defense. It’s a classic he-said-she-said moment, except there was bodycam documentation and visible evidence. Based on what they gathered at the scene, officers determined there was probable cause to arrest Thais Ramone for domestic battery and took her into custody.

Then came the plot twist. Just two days later, on May 24, the charge was dropped entirely. No explanation in the bodycam footage release, no elaborate statement about why prosecutors decided not to move forward. The case simply dissolved.

Thais Ramone’s representative offered a statement emphasizing that family dynamics are rarely black and white and that she had no interest in escalating negativity publicly. They also highlighted that anyone who truly knows Thais Ramone recognizes her as a devoted mother and someone deeply family-oriented who leads with heart. Meanwhile, her divorce from Patrick Mendes continues through the courts.

What this bodycam footage really underscores is how messy breakdowns can be—especially when children are involved, emotions are running high, and both parties have competing versions of what happened. The dropped charge suggests the situation was far more nuanced than a simple arrest-and-proceed scenario, but without fuller details, the full picture remains incomplete.
