While ‘Real Housewives of Miami’ heads back to Bravo, one star battles a health issue
Major news for “Real Housewives of Miami” fans: Your favorite guilty pleasure is on the move.
When the Peacock Original reality show — starring Lisa Hochstein, Alexia Echevarria, Larsa Pippen, Marysol Patton and Adriana de Moura as well as newbies Guerdy Abreira, Julie Lemigova and Nicole Martin — returns for Season 6, Bravo will take the wheel.
Phew. You can still watch episodes on Peacock a day later.
Two seasons of the reboot were first seen on the NBCUniversal streaming service but the sixth season, currently in production, will run on Bravo first. Expect new shows later on in 2023.
Unfortunately, one of the major plot points is not a happy one: Abreira has breast cancer.
The 45-year-old event planner announced on Instagram Wednesday that she was diagnosed back in March after a routine mammogram.
“I was in St. Barts having the time of my life when my doctor called me with results,” read the wedding guru’s post. “It took me a while to process it all and this is why I took a break from social media last month as many noticed.”
Next steps: Surgery, and followup treatment.
“This process is definitely intense and what I ask of you is empowerment not pity,” wrote the native Haitian. “I will ‘guerdyfy’ this cancer as I guerdyfy everything else in my life.”
Abreira, who said the disease was caught “early,” ended her post by urging women to get regular checkups.
Many fellow Housewives took to their social media to support their friend.
Anesthesiologist Martin, for one, wrote: “The journey ahead may feel uncertain, but one thing is for sure, you’ve got a lot of love and support behind you!”
Another RHOM costar, tennis great Martina Navratilova (married to beauty queen Julia Lemigova), recently battled breast and throat cancer, but told Piers Morgan in a March interview she is now in remission.
Lemigova expressed her love on social media: “To my beautiful friend as she begins a very important journey: you’ve got this and we have your back.”
