‘Real Housewives of Miami’ reunion bombshell even shocked Andy Cohen
It takes a lot to render Andy Cohen speechless.
But the “Real Housewives of Miami” franchise now holds that honor.
Last week, during part one of the three-part reunion, Julia Lemigova dropped the bombshell of all bombshells, leaving the Bravo boss with his jaw practically on the floor.
The former beauty queen, who is married to tennis legend Martina Navratilova, provided “clarity” about why there is friction between her and onetime bestie Adriana de Moura.
They had an affair.
Lemigova revealed to the shocked panel she and de Moura “slept together” during a group trip to the Hamptons when her marriage “was not great.” She and Navratilova adopted two baby brothers in August 2024. The trip with the alleged rendezvous occurred in season 4 in 2021, when Lemigova made history as the first openly LGBTQ woman to be cast in a “Real Housewives” franchise.
De Moura immediately denied the allegations in real time with NSFW language, but, in part 2, airing 9 p.m. Thursday, she seems to be changing her tune.
In a sneak peek released by the cable network, Lemigova explains that she let the proverbial cat out of the bag because de Moura was threatening to go public with the scandalous tidbit. So she decided to beat her to the punch.
A throwback clip of a prior episode sees the two women arguing, and de Moura telling Lemigova: “Don’t make me go there. It’s gonna be bad for you .... you know the truth. If you keep pushing me, I will.”
After the explosive scene, Kiki Barth threw her support behind Lemigova, telling Cohen: “She thought Adriana was going to bring it out!
Suddenly, de Moura went into backpedaling mode.
“I wasn’t going to go there!” screamed the Brazilian art dealer. “I love Martina, I respect Martina and those two boys. I wasn’t going to go and destroy your whole household, I’m not that person. But since you brought that up, it’s now out on the table.”
Many social media users on Bravo’s post were blown away with the wild storyline, and didn’t know who to believe. Support for both women seems to be split down the middle, with some folks saying de Moura was wrong for hooking up with a married woman. Others blamed Lemigova for not only straying, but for hanging out with de Moura’s frenemies like Marysol Patton and Alexia Echevarria et al.
Highlights of the mix:
“I’m a fan of Adriana but the empty threatening was not cool. Talk about a way of truly killing a friendship.”
“What were you going to say that would hurt Julia?? To say you love Martina & the boys and respect them is incorrect cause if you did you wouldn’t have slept with Julia.”
“Cancel Julia and make Adriana full time, please!”
“We support you!! We all saw how [Julia] betrayed you for a group of girls that will turn their backs on her once she doesn’t benefit them.”
De Moura responded to the online peanut gallery, with a promise:
“The whole truth will be told tomorrow! Stay tuned!”
