‘90 Day Fiancé’ alum's boyfriend on trial for attempted murder over wild ‘Boca Bash’ accusations

The boyfriend of a reality TV personality from “90 Day Fiancé” is set to face trial this week, accused of attempting to murder her during a boating incident in South Florida.

Cole Goldberg was originally charged with domestic battery by strangulation. However, over a year following the incident, the charges were escalated to attempted second-degree murder, as reported by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities revealed that Goldberg and Caroline Schwitzky, 32, were involved in a heated argument on April 24, 2022, while attending the annual “Boca Bash” boat party. The couple had been in a relationship for about a year at the time.

Cole Goldberg stands accused of trying to strangle and drown Caroline Schwitzky, a star from “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?” according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

When Schwitzky tried to flee the boat, Goldberg allegedly “was grabbing her very aggressively,” trying to prevent her from leaving, according to a police report acquired by Law&Crime.

Authorities stated that Schwitzky, 32, was attacked by her boyfriend while on a boat in Florida. Jail records also indicate she was arrested due to a warrant from another county.

Schwitzky, the CEO of Miami talent agency Urge and a mom of three, allegedly punched Goldberg’s arms to free herself during the struggle, which lasted roughly 20 minutes. She jumped into the water to swim to a nearby boat, a witness told authorities. 

Goldberg went after her and allegedly tried to drown her. A bystander named Matt Paris jumped in and intervened.

Schwitzky appeared on “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?” in 2016 as talent agent to Paola Mayfield.

According to CourtTV, prosecutors offered Goldberg a plea agreement that would have required him to serve six months in jail and three years of probation, as well as write a 500-word letter of apology. He turned down the offer, saying he would not accept a plea to a felony.
