A prominent social media influencer and her boyfriend are facing serious drug charges shortly after their return from a trip to Japan.
Kristina Mariah Calder, 29, and Joel Samuel Lee Williams, 30, were taken into custody on February 13. Following their arrest, they were prohibited from leaving Perth via its airport.
Calder is known for showcasing her opulent travels on social media, often accompanied by Williams as they explore destinations such as Bali, Paris, Thailand, and New Zealand.
Their recent getaway to Japan was shared on TikTok, where Calder posted videos of her experiences with collagen machines, a unique hair treatment, as well as visits to culinary spots and historical landmarks.
Their arrest came just a day after Calder uploaded her latest video from Japan, according to a report by The West Australian.
Calder has been charged with five counts of selling cocaine, possession of cannabis, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of MDMA, selling a prohibited drug and conspiring to sell a prohibited drug.
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.Â
The couple separately faced Mandurah Magistrates Court on Tuesday. They were not called to plead to the charges.Â

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 runs ‘Nail Mafia’, a home salon in Meadow Springs, Mandurah.
Its social media page says the business is ‘not taking new clients’.
The couple are understood to have been together for more than five years.
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.
Just a day after posting her latest video about a holiday to Japan, the Perth couple were charged with serious drug offences
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
‘425cc, high profile, round silicone, dual plane, Dr Parinya,’ her video said, captioned: ‘Nice girls don’t gatekeep.’
Only three days earlier, Jenner had shared her details down to the implant size.Â
Calder has also given advice on using Ozempic, Botox, filler, veneers and tan injections.
Calder and Williams are next due to appear in court in April.Â
