A renowned influencer known for her lavish lifestyle and globetrotting adventures, along with her partner, is facing serious drug-related charges shortly after returning from a trip to Japan.
Kristina Mariah Calder, aged 29, and her boyfriend Joel Samuel Lee Williams, 30, were taken into custody on February 13. Following their arrest, the authorities have prohibited their access to Perth Airport.
Calder is well-known for showcasing her extravagant vacations on social media, often featuring her boyfriend as they explore destinations like Bali, Paris, Thailand, and New Zealand.
Their most recent journey to Japan was shared on TikTok, where Calder captured various experiences, including trying out collagen vending machines, indulging in a hair treatment, and exploring culinary delights and cultural landmarks.
The couple’s arrest occurred a day after Calder posted her latest video from Japan, as reported by The West Australian.
Calder faces multiple charges, including five counts of cocaine distribution, possession of cannabis, drug paraphernalia, MDMA, and charges related to the sale and conspiracy to sell prohibited substances.
Williams has been charged with two counts of conspiring to sell and supply, possession of cannabis, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of MDMA, possession of a controlled drug and offering to sell or supply drugs.
The couple separately faced Mandurah Magistrates Court on Tuesday. They were not called to plead to the charges.

Williams, a FIFO heavy-duty diesel mechanic, successfully applied for a bail variation to allow him to travel for work.
Magistrate Claire Cullen lifted the 500m ban on approaching the international terminal at Perth Airport so he can access domestic flights.
Both were ordered not to use any electronic device with access to encrypted communications following their arrest.

Calder often shares snapshots of their life together, including buying Williams an infrared sauna for his birthday last year.
She frequently shares her beauty routine with her 35,000 followers, including, in one video from June last year, emulating Kylie Jenner by sharing the specifications of her breast implants.

Following their arrest, the couple were banned from Perth Airport. However, the conditions of Williams’ bail have been altered so he can travel within Australia for his FIFO job
