Miami is on “Fyah,” with Bravo Fan Fest set to take over the city this week. The Real Housewives of Miami took a small break from filming Season 7 of their show to appear on the first of five Watch What Happens Live episodes recorded in front of a live audience. Alexia Nepola is in for a different season as cameras pick up after she announced her separation from her husband Todd.
The new season of RHOM will also go on without Dr. Nicole Martin after she and Nepola seemed to be on a good path forward following a rocky friendship. “I actually called Nicole and I told her that I thought she was making the right decision for herself and for her family,” Nepola told Deadline of Dr.
Martin’s exit from the show. “I was sad, because I always had the hope of being good friends with her on the show, because I felt like she and I had a lot of things in common, and we would be good friends one day. So I’m bummed that she didn’t come back, but I know that that was a good and right decision for her family.
” Amid filming of RHOM Season 7, there was a picture from the cast where Nepola and bestie Marysol Patton absent, which had social media buzzing. “Hmm..
. maybe people were taking the picture and that’s why we weren’t on it, or maybe they split up the groups, right? There’s so many things that could have happened. You guys are just gonna have to tune in and watch.
Those trips are a lot!” she teased.

You won’t see any of Todd.
You’ll hear about Todd because everybody has an opinion about him, including myself. You’ll follow my journey, and you’ll see the highs and lows. It’s been an emotional roller coaster and all I can tell you is the girls have been there for me that you.
” Regarding her split from her husband, Nepola got emotional when asked how the separation has affected her family and how her son Frankie has especially being saddened by it. “Well, Frankie is all about family, so it’s hard,” Nepola told us amid tears. “He loves his family, and I feel like children with [a] brain injury, they need the structure, and he loves Todd.
My kids just want to see me happy, whether it’s with Todd or not with Todd. It was really hard for all of us, but now we’re in a better place, but it was hard.” RELATED : ‘RHOBH’s Dorit Kemsley On Her Feud With Kyle Richards & Why She Feels “Stronger & More Empowered” In Season 14 Nepola is known to have strong opinions and is not afraid to voice them out loud.
The Bravo star knows her personality and what she brings to the show. “I bring the drama. Unfortunately, my life is like a telenovela.
Dr. Nicole was completely right. I’ve always been very open, very authentic.
I always have an opinion, something to say. Maybe I don’t have a filter — I’m just very real,” she explained. “I just feel sometimes people mistaken that for being mean.
Sometimes saying the truth is not being mean, it’s just saying the truth and a lot of people have a problem with listening to the truth.” RELATED : ‘RHOBH’s Kyle Richards On Her Feud With Dorit Kemsley, Partnering With Reese Witherspoon & Possible ‘Halloween’ Sequel Although we’re still months away from the premiere of RHOM Season 7, Nepola teased what else is in store for her in the upcoming season. “I feel like every season has been completely different for me.
Unfortunately for me, once again, I’m sharing something very personal in my story and in my life, because that’s what was happening when the cameras came around,” she said. “I just love where I am with all the girls in the group. My [friendships] with the girls are all evolving.
[These are] friends that I never thought that I would be friends with today, and they’ve all been there. So I’m really enjoying that. I’m friends with all the ladies, and they’ve all been there for me.
