The first part of The Real Housewives of Miami reunion ended with a bang!
After fans saw their close bond deteriorate, Julia Lemigova is shedding light on what happened behind closed doors between her and costar Adriana de Moura.
When host Andy Cohen asked if Adriana, 59, was ever in contention to be the godmother to Julia’s sons, who she welcomed via adoption with wife Martina Navratilova, Julia, 53, responded, “No, she was not.”
“That’s like the deepest dagger in my heart,” Adriana replied before explaining how she supported her throughout the adoption process.
“When they were trying and they needed somebody to vouch for them, I did it, not once but twice,” she said, referring to writing character letters for Julia and Martina’s adoptions.
While the pair were once close, other friendships appeared to get in the way of their tight bond.
“I feel like when [Julia] started to be friends with Alexia [Nepola], I was fine with it,” Adriana explained. “And Alexia wasn’t instigating Julia, but then Marysol [Patton] got in the picture, Julia transformed herself.”

Adriana claimed that transformation brought out a different side of her once-close pal, saying, “She took a dive on the dark side. I couldn’t even recognize her anymore. So I’m like yes, there is something underneath that’s changing and enabling her to bring her true self out.”
However, Julia then dropped a bombshell about what allegedly happened between the pair.
“I would like to say something that I think would bring clarity hopefully, why we are where we are,” she stated. “In the Hamptons, Adriana and I slept together.”
The revelation brought audible gasps from the women’s costars.
In the teaser for the second part of the reunion, the revelations kept coming as Adriana insisted, “I never scissored anybody… I’ll never go for your dirty w—-.”
The Watch What Happens Live host then asked if Julia and Martina had an open relationship, and Julia replied, “Our marriage was not great.”
The confessions about her relationship with Adriana continued backstage with Julia admitting to Andy, “We slept together once, then we fooled around in the Versace mansion.”
The revelation led to a conversation with Adriana, who told Julia, “You go around trying to seduce everybody. Cheat on your wife.”
The teaser concluded with their costar Larsa Pippen telling Stephanie Shojaee that she thinks Julia made it all up.

In April, Julia spoke about her fractured relationship with Adriana during an interview on Page Six Radio.
“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 said at the time. “But now I’m finally opening my eyes and seeing maybe they were right all along.”
Julia explained that the divide between the former friends happened after Adriana came “directly at” her on camera while they were filming the show’s seventh season, though she’s unclear of the motivations behind her costar’s decision.
“Adriana is a very mysterious person. You never really know with her. You will see it,” she noted.
She added that she doesn’t know what or why their friendship fell. “I just know some facts, and it’s very sad and disturbing.”
“But, you know, what’s done is done,” she shared, adding that she doesn’t see a reconciliation in their future. “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.”
