Domestic violence allegations against 90 Day Fiancé alum Veronica Rodriguez and her fiancé Seth Daryoushfar have been dismissed, bringing an end to a legal saga that made headlines in late 2025.

The couple — who were arrested in North Carolina on December 15, 2025 and charged with domestic violence and assault — had been scheduled to appear in court on March 3, 2026. However, prosecutors dropped the case on January 12, 2026, after neither Veronica nor Seth was willing to testify against each other.

According to court records obtained by outlets covering the story, Veronica was initially accused of using “physical force” against Seth, allegedly striking him in the face. Meanwhile, Seth faced a misdemeanor charge of “assault on a female” after Veronica said he had grabbed her, leaving scratches on her wrists and thighs. The pair bonded out of jail the same day they were arrested — Veronica on a $500 bond and Seth on a $2,500 bond.

Why the Charges Were Dropped

The dismissal came after both Veronica and Seth invoked their constitutional right to refuse to testify against one another, often referred to as asserting their Fifth Amendment rights. Because neither partner cooperated with the prosecution, the district attorney chose to voluntarily drop the case without leave — meaning it’s terminated unless separate charges are later filed.

Legal experts and reporting outlets note that when both alleged victims in a domestic case decline to testify, particularly in mutual allegations like these, prosecutors often find it difficult to proceed due to a lack of witness cooperation. This typically leads to dismissal absent other evidence.

Background: Relationship and Arrest

Veronica Rodriguez first gained recognition on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days in 2019 as part of Tim Malcolm’s storyline. She later appeared on spin-offs including 90 Day Fiance: Pillow Talk and 90 Day: The Single Life. After a brief public relationship with another ex-cast member’s son, she went public with Seth in early 2025, and he proposed later that year during a romantic trip to Italy.

The couple had publicly shared highlights from their relationship on social media — including travel and engagement celebrations — with an Instagram post showing Veronica gushing about how 2025 was “the best year yet” just one day before the arrests.

Fan and Community Reaction

Fans have had mixed reactions to the dismissal. Some commenters online expressed relief that the legal matter was resolved without further court involvement, while others are concerned about the implications of a dismissing domestic case without testimony. A number of social media users have commented on the relationship itself and Veronica’s past reality show appearances.

There has also been speculation among segments of the fan community about how this incident might affect the couple’s portrayal in future TLC shows or if they will continue to appear onscreen given the legal drama that briefly surrounded them.

What Happens Next?

With charges dismissed, neither Veronica nor Seth is currently facing criminal penalties related to the December 2025 incident. The dismissal means that, legally, the matter is closed — unless new charges are brought independently.

At this time, Veronica has not made a public statement regarding the dismissal, and neither she nor Seth has addressed the media about the incident or their relationship’s status since resolution of the case.

This development closes one chapter of the couple’s public journey, but with their engagement and continuing presence in pop culture circles, fans will likely watch closely for updates on both their personal and reality TV lives.
