The Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Nepola is no stranger to drama, even when it comes to her marriage with estranged husband Todd Nepola, and she's opening up about her relationship status. During The Real Housewives of Miami season 7, Alexia is dealing with the fallout of Todd filing for divorce from her after being married since 2021.
Alexia Nepola opened up about being under the microscrope while dealing with her relationship with Todd.
In an interview with Parade, Alexia opened up about being under the microscope while dealing with her relationship. She explained that she's being herself and dealing with the breakup in real time, and she "will not" apologize for the way she behaves.
Alexia admitted that she's trying to be "raw and real and vulnerable" since that the "only way" she knows how to live her life. However, fans never see the "full story," so she doesn't think it's fair to them to judge her over the decisions she makes.
"Nobody's relationship is perfect. I'm going through this in real time, and I’m being raw and real and vulnerable because that’s the only way I know how to be... But you don't see the full story. You just see the highs and lows, and that's what's really not fair."
What Alexia Nepola Calling Out Judgmental Fans Means
Alexia Claims Fans Don't See The Whole Story
Alexia claims that fans don't see the whole story of her relationship with Todd and, therefore, it isn't right for them to judge her for going back to him. Fans only see what The Real Housewives of Miami producers decide to air, and there's a lot of nuance in a marriage that can't be captured for reality television.
She makes a good point but forgets that judging reality stars is part of the game. By becoming a public figure and opening up her life to the world, she's also opening it up to criticism, fair or not. Alexia often boasted about her relationship with Todd, despite some red flags that were shown during The Real Housewives of Miami seasons 5 and 6.
Alexia opened up her marriage to the public by being on a reality show and discussing her relationship on it. Todd was also frequently featured on The Real Housewives of Miami, so it's almost unfair of Alexia to now say that fans judging her relationship with Todd is unfair. If she and Todd both willingly appeared on the show, then they need to accept that there might be backlash.
Our Take On Alexia & Todd's On-Again, Off-Again Relationship
Alexia Can Make Her Own Decisions
Alexia is a grown woman who can make her own choices when it comes to her relationships. Nobody is denying that. But her protestations about fans not being able to fairly judge are a bit unfair to the audience. They are judging based on what they see play out on RHOM and, to a certain extent, in real life.
Fans might not be able to know the full story when it comes to Alexia and Todd's roller coaster of a romance, but that doesn't mean they can't form judgments on it. In general, fans want the best for their favorite reality stars, including Alexia, so it's a shame to see her selling herself short by continuing to fight for a relationship that might not be viable.
