Colin Dias of 'Married to Medicine L.A.' Denies Ex-Wife's Murder Plot Claims

Reality TV star Colin Dias from "Married to Medicine: Los Angeles" has found himself in the middle of a scandal after his ex-wife Lia Jones accused him of plotting to have her killed. The doctor firmly denies all allegations, calling them fabricated and insisting that the real threat comes from Lia herself.

Dias' attorney Robert Eisfelder stated that his client rejects Lia's accusations, adding that her latest filing ignores the couple's long history of conflict. Lia previously filed for a domestic violence restraining order, claiming a neighbor told her that Colin asked "what it would cost to get rid of her" and inquired about guns, while "actively looking and recruiting" someone to murder her.

According to the attorney, the court previously granted Colin sole legal and physical custody of their two minor children, who have been "thriving" under his care. Lia is now seeking to modify the custody arrangement at a hearing scheduled for July 28. Eisfelder pointed to a declaration Colin filed on April 21, 2026, detailing what he claims is a history of domestic violence he suffered at Lia's hands.

In his testimony, Colin alleges that Lia punched him in the stomach with a closed fist in May 2021 while he was recovering from surgery and told him, "I wish you would die." He also claims that in November 2021, she attacked him in front of their children and threatened to "put two bullets" in his head. These incidents led Colin to obtain a domestic violence restraining order against her in November 2021, followed by a criminal protective order in April 2022. Lia was arrested in August 2022 for allegedly violating that order.

Colin's attorney also noted that Lia has filed multiple subsequent requests for custody and other relief, all of which have been denied by the court. Lia, in a statement to TMZ, said her family has gone through "extremely challenging" times due to the threat to her safety, and expressed confidence that the court will see sufficient evidence, including text messages and witness statements.

The couple's divorce was finalized in 2023. Earlier this year, Lia mentioned completing a 52-week domestic violence course, parenting and anger management classes, and therapy. Now the court must untangle the conflicting stories of the former spouses, and the outcome of the July 28 hearing will determine not only custody but also whose allegations hold up.
