Real Housewives of Miami (RHOM) star Julia Lemigova has revealed a truly startling secret.
During the RHOM season seven reunion on Thursday (2 October), Lemigova, said she had slept with her cast-mate and former best friend, Adriana de Moura.
Lemigova, a former Russian model who is married to tennis legend Martina Navratilova, made history in 2021 as the first lesbian housewife.
The friendship between Lemigova and de Moura soured as a result of the alleged dalliance, E! News reported.
It started when de Moura offered her view on why she and Lemigova’s relationship had deteriorated. “I feel like when she started to be friends with Alexia [and partner Marysol Patton], I was fine with it. And Alexia wasn’t instigating Julia, but then when Marysol got in the picture, Julia transformed herself. And she took a dive in the dark side and I couldn’t even recognize her anymore.”

“So, yes, there is something underneath that that’s changing her. Or maybe enabling her to bring her true self out.”
Cohen then turned to Lemigova. “I would like to say something that will bring clarity, hopefully, on why we’re with Adriana where we are,” the former model said. “In the Hamptons, Adriana and I slept together.”
“Our marriage was not great”
The news shocked everyone, including host Andy Cohen. At this point he really should be ready for anything from the Housewives!
More has been teased in a trailer for next week with de Moura being shown to say, “I never scissored anybody!” Cohen also asks Julia Lemigova if Martina Navratilova was aware of the affair to which Lemigova replies, “Our marriage was not great.”

De Moura also says, “I’ll never go for your dirty little whore!” Adding: “You go around trying to seduce everybody. Cheat on your wife.” Meanwhile, Lemigova can also be seen explaining, “[de Moura and I] slept together once and then we fooled around in the Versace mansion.”
Though Larsa Pippen appears to doubt the veracity of the story saying, “I think she just made that all up.” Stephanie Shojaee adds, “No, Julia’s a nymph[omaniac], are you kidding me?”
As for what really caused Julia and Adriana’s relationship to devolve into hatred and fighting, Adriana admitted earlier in the reunion sit-down that she felt the tide turning when Julia got closer with Alexia and Marysol Patton.
The Real Housewives of Miami airs on Bravo on Thursday 9 October at 9 pm. In the UK it’s available on Prime Video and NowTV.
