’90 Day Fiancé’ Alum Eric Rosenbrook Arrested for Alleged Domestic Battery
Can’t say I’m shocked, but ’90 Day Fiancé’ alum Eric Rosenbrook managed to trade reality TV drama for a real-life police report this Fourth of July. According to TMZ’s July 11 dispatch and court documents obtained by People Magazine, the 47-year-old reality star was cuffed in Adams, Wisconsin after his wife accused him of slapping her during a booze-fueled argument. Prosecutors say Rosenbrook, who wed fellow franchise star Leida Margaretha back in 2018, decided to quench his thirst at a local Kwik Mart and never returned, prompting his spouse to find him passed out behind the wheel of his car outside their apartment. After snapping a video of her husband sawing logs, she hauled him out for a confrontation that reportedly woke their infant daughter. The alleged victim—identified only in court papers as “LNM”—told officers Rosenbrook demanded to hold the baby despite reeking of alcohol. When she refused, she says he popped her across the face. First responders and police reports note a history of domestic strife dating back to their wedding day, adding a grim footnote to the couple’s reality-show romance. Cops didn’t waste time: they tracked Rosenbrook down hours later, woke him up, and he promptly fessed up to the slap, according to Adams County arrest records. He was booked on misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct charges at around 2 a.m. on July 5. We reached out to Eric himself, and he owned up to a “heated dispute” over his drinking, admitting he did strike his wife but denying any harm to their child. He claims Leida fled the apartment with their kid right after the slap and says their marriage has been on the rocks for months. Fun fact: Leida filed for divorce last year only to withdraw the petition—fate or just another reality TV plot twist? Fans remember the pair’s whirlwind courtship on Season 6 of the show, but this latest episode offers zero romance and all the grim ugliness of alleged domestic violence. As of now, Rosenbrook’s next stop is facing the music in a county courtroom, and bail details remain shrouded in paperwork. Whether this marks the end of his reality-star comeback or the uncomfortable start of a domestic-violence saga has yet to be seen. Stay tuned, because I’m sure this isn’t the last chapter in the Eric Rosenbrook saga. Nothing shocking here, folks. Let’s all pretend to be surprised.
