Drama is brewing in the sizzling world of The Real Housewives of Miami, and Adriana de Moura is not holding back! The 59-year-old “Fyah” singer sat down with Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea ahead of the Season 7 reunion taping, dropping bombshells about her fractured friendship with ex-bestie Julia Lemigova. According to de Moura, Lemigova’s newfound alliance with the show’s resident “mean girls,” Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton, has left their once-tight bond in tatters.
De Moura didn’t mince words, labeling Lemigova, 53, a “narcissist” who was “thirsty” for a seat at the cool kids’ table. As Season 7 unfolded, cameras captured Lemigova cozying up to Nepola and Patton, both 58, who have long been de Moura’s frenemies. This shift in loyalties sparked tension, culminating in a dramatic fallout that promises to be a highlight of the season.
“There were moments where I could sense she wanted to go where she thought it was more popular,” de Moura shared, reflecting on Lemigova’s pivot toward Nepola and Patton. “We were still on good terms, but I think she was steadily working to get to that place.”
Looking back, de Moura spotted warning signs in Lemigova’s behavior, particularly during past reunion tapings. “They were dragging me for filth, calling me a liar, and she just sat there stone-faced, never interjected,” de Moura recalled, questioning Lemigova’s loyalty. “So, are you my friend?”
Despite the hurt, de Moura held out hope for reconciliation at the Season 7 reunion, though she admitted the damage might be permanent. “When you break a vase, you can mend it, but it’s never the same,” she said wistfully. “There’s a big question mark around our future. We’ll sit for hours on that couch, but I don’t know where it’s going to go.”
Meanwhile, Lemigova isn’t ready to close the door on their friendship. Speaking to Virtual Reali-Tea hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real during the July 30 taping of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the former Miss USSR expressed optimism. “We had a beautiful friendship until we didn’t,” she said, hinting at a possible reconciliation. “I don’t hold grudges. I still don’t know what happened or why—it’s a mystery to me. I’m looking forward to seeing her.”
As the reunion dust settles, the divide between de Moura and Lemigova seems to persist. Post-taping, de Moura was spotted in New York City with close allies Guerdy Abraira and Lisa Hochstein, while Lemigova dined with Nepola and Patton, signaling that the “mean girls” alliance is still going strong. Will these former friends find common ground, or is this the end of an era?
