Real Housewives of Miami is really delivering the drama this season. There are feuds everywhere you look. Newbie Stephanie Shojaee often finds herself in the middle of several explosive arguments, many of which are with Alexia Nepola. But as far as Alexia is concerned, she doesn’t blame Stephanie for wanting to butt heads.
It’s not surprising that these two strong personalities would clash. They are both used to being the “queen bee,” so to speak, so when they feel threatened, they often lash out, and they both don’t back down.
Alexia Nepola says RHOM newbie Stephanie Shojaee coming for her was a “no brainer”
Alexia and Stephanie’s fights are just among several feuds happening this season. Earlier in the season, Julia Lemigova and Guerdy Abriera were throwing drinks, Larsa Pippen and Lisa Hochstein were at odds, and Marysol Patton went on a blocking spree on social media.
As for Alexia and Stephanie, the two “queens,” as Stephanie called them, went for each other’s throats. And for Alexia, this wasn’t really surprising at all. She was asked on the red carpet if she expected to bump heads with the newest Miami housewife.
“I didn’t want to bump heads with Stephanie,” Alexia said. “But she wanted to bump heads with me. As you guys saw.” We did indeed!
But Alexia tried to be magnanimous as well. “I’m happy she’s on the show,” she admitted. “She’s also Latina, from Colombia, representing. So I think she’s a good addition for the show.”
She said she didn’t expect them to be at odds, but when she thinks about it, she’s not really surprised either. “You know, I am the OG, I’m kind of like an important person on the show, so it’s a no-brainer that she was gonna come after me.”
Stephanie certainly did come in hot. Now, she’s come to the conclusion that the real villain is actually Marysol and that Alexia was just acting as her mouthpiece. There could be some truth to that. But honestly, when there’s already a divide between “good girls” and “bad girls,” is it surprising that drama will follow?
The Real Housewives of Miami airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo. Stream it the next day on Peacock or Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
