  • Lima said it takes a lot of "bravery" to apologize or forgive
  • Lima now feels sorry for the harsh words she used against Guerra
  • She says Guerra is a pretty, kind and calm person

Larissa Lima has publicly apologized to ex-husband Colt Johnson's rumored fiancée, Vanessa Guerra.

The former "90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?" star began her lengthy Instagram post by admitting that it takes a lot of "bravery" to apologize or forgive.

"But when we take a look inside of ourselves, we realize it's what we need to do. I was previously under the impression that 'women empowerment' was about a group of women bullying and hating another woman," she wrote in the post Monday.

In October, Lima had called Guerra a "crocodile girl" when the latter tried to explain her story regarding the rumored affair. "We were both in bad marriages, and we just talked about it. I mean, Larissa was breaking his s--t. That's mostly what we talked about," Guerra said at the time.

Lima says she has realized her mistake, adding that she knows the "true meaning" of women empowerment now. "It means to be kind, empathetic, and to be patient to understand another woman's reasoning before throwing her hate," she explained.

The Brazilian beauty further wrote that she is "growing" as a human being and will refrain from criticizing another woman's appearance. She acknowledged that everyone has a different image of beauty, ScreenRant reported.

Lima married Johnson in June 2018 and they were together for a year. The couple had numerous issues in their marriage since the beginning. Last year, on "90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?" season 5's Tell-All session, Lima said she had put a GPS tracker on Johnson's phone and figured out that he was cheating on her.

She also revealed that she found a text on Johnson's phone that read, "I'm done. I'm tired [of] waiting." Lima believed the text was from Guerra and called the latter a "liar" in front of other cast members.

Lima now feels sorry for her words.

"What right do I have to do this, especially when I truly do not know this woman I may be judging? Learning, gaining wisdom, and growing as a better human being is a necessity for our own well-being, and to make everyone else's life better too," she wrote, adding that Guerra is pretty, kind and calm.
