“Real Housewives of Miami” star Julia Lemigova is getting real about her fallout with ex-bestie Adriana de Moura.
Calling in to SiriusXM’s “Page Six Radio” on Friday, Lemigova told us about the “sad and disturbing” end of their friendship while discussing her current role in the Florida Grand Opera’s “Carmen.”
“Sorry to break [this to you]. [De Moura] will not be coming to watch me in ‘Carmen,’” said the Bravolebrity, who has performances at the Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale on April 24 and 26.
“For years, people have been telling me not to trust certain people, and I think I wanted to fight that, to fight what they were telling me,” she continued. “But now I’m finally opening my eyes and seeing maybe they were right all along.”
Lemigova, 52, joined “RHOM” in Season 4 when Peacock rebooted the reality show in 2021 after eight years off the air. She entered the fray via de Moura, 59, a longtime friend, who starred as a full-time cast member in the original iteration, but has maintained a “friend of” role in its revived state.
Lemigova told “Page Six Radio” that she and de Moura clashed while filming the forthcoming seventh season of “RHOM,” further claiming that the “Feel the Rush” singer came “directly at” her on camera.
In video footage that circulated on social media in December 2024, Lemigova and de Moura were seen in a skirmish for which production was present.
In one clip, de Moura seemed to tell Lemigova, “I see you for who you are … and now I’m going to treat you how you treat me.”
Months later, Lemigova — a native of Russia who made history as the first out lesbian “Housewife” to be cast on the juggernaut franchise — seems befuddled by de Moura’s assessment of their discord.
Lemigova is curious to discover more details about de Moura’s reasons for engaging in a feud when “RHOM” returns. (Bravo released a teaser for the new season this week, but the network has yet to announce a premiere date.)
“Adriana is a very mysterious person. You never really know with her. You will see it,” explained Lemigova, who is anxious to see what de Moura said behind her back when the women filmed separately.
“The incredible part is, as you’re watching the show, you will be discovering things about our relationship at the same time as I am discovering them myself.”
Lemigova told “Page Six Radio” that while the future of her friendship with de Moura remains in flux, a reconciliation doesn’t seem imminent.
“There are still maybe some things I don’t know [about why we fell out]. I don’t even know what and why. I just know some facts, and it’s very sad and disturbing. But, you know, what’s done is done,” she said.
“And life is going on. You just have to learn from things and just keep going. So I don’t know what tomorrow’s going to bring — but for now, all I can say is, no, Adriana will not be coming to see me in ‘Carmen.’”
Several of Lemigova’s “RHOM” co-stars — including Kiki Barth, plus off-and-on couple Alexia and Todd Nepola — did, however, come to see her light up the stage as Carmen’s nemesis, Manuelita, when the opera played in Miami on April 12.
Typically, Manuelita is seen for just 10 seconds onstage and, in some productions of “Carmen,” only mentioned by name. But director Maria Todaro wanted to utilize Lemigova’s star power, showcasing her character — who doesn’t sing but delivers a physically demanding performance — in all four acts.
“It’s a very sexy show,” said Lemigova, noting that Alexia, 57, and Todd, 52 — who recently finalized their divorce but appear to still be dating, hitting up events on the Miami social scene and even smooching in public — seemed to be be so “hot and bothered” by the opera that they had to “excuse themselves” from the audience.
The entertainer added, “They did leave. Maybe it was a little too hot to handle and they had to go home, but I think that just means we did a good job onstage.”
