On this season of The Real Housewives of Miami, Guerdy Abraira is done playing nice. After years of being seen as the strong-yet-silent peacekeeper, the celebrated event planner and cancer survivor is making one thing crystal clear: her boundaries are no longer up for debate.
In a candid and impassioned interview with Decider, Guerdy opened up about the events surrounding her celebration of life party, an emotional, powerful moment that was quickly overshadowed by drama, gaslighting, and what many fans are calling a glaring double standard.
“Again, this newer version of myself is not the people pleaser that I used to be,” she began. “It’s a clear example of what happened with Julia and I that my kindness got taken advantage of. People think that you’re weak when you’re kind.”
Guerdy explained that she attended a cruise at Julia’s request. despite already having just come back from one—only to have her intentions misrepresented on camera. “Me coming on a cruise to be there for you as you asked me to, and now it gets spinned into, ‘I volunteered,’ when I just got back from the same cruise, it doesn’t track.”
And it wasn’t just about the cruise. It was the reaction—or lack thereof—from the group that left Guerdy feeling isolated and targeted.
“The fact that some people in the group are just nodding like, ‘Yeah, that’s what happened. Look at her.’ It’s just sad because I feel like I’m on The Truman Show. I’m like, ‘Hello, is this real? What’s happening?’ I just want to tell my side of the truth, but when it falls on deaf ears, you have me doing something like what I did at my party.”
At that party—meant to mark a turning point in her life post-cancer—Guerdy decided to take back control. “I want to set the record straight. This is me setting the boundaries and making it very clear that this is what we are going to do. We’re gonna be truthful. We’re not going to play these gaslighting games.”
She also called out the hypocrisy in how she’s been treated versus others. “The passion that you had at my party, you had not one ounce of it at yours when the water-throw happened. Now, all of a sudden, everyone’s awake and ready to go and have opinions and be the judge and the jury? We can’t move the goalposts every single time when it only applies to me.”
And for those suggesting her celebration was “about the C-word,” Guerdy was unapologetic: “The C-word is part of my life and testimony. So get used to hearing it, because it is what it is, but don’t twist it into something that it’s not. It was a party. And I said goodbye to my family, and did what I did at my after party.”
As tensions with Julia continue to unfold onscreen, Guerdy made it clear that the sudden fallout came out of nowhere.
“You want an exclusive? The cruise happened before the Season 6 reunion. If you see the Season 6 reunion, she has my back, she’s my friend, we have no issues. There was never a discussion about the cruise.”
According to Guerdy, there was one moment of confusion about what happened during the cruise, but not a full-blown argument. “I clearly state, ‘I’m not mad at you, but this is how I feel.’ And you waited until after the Season 6 reunion, almost a whole year, we pick up the cameras, and I am baffled for this to be what you come at me with.”
The betrayal hit even harder when she watched the season back. “I’m literally like, ‘That’s what they were saying behind my back?’ But then they were texting me like, ‘Hey, girl, how you doing?’ Mind blown.”
As speculation swirled online that Julia needed a storyline to stay relevant, Guerdy left it to the fans to decide. “The fans know what it’s giving, and that’s the thing about it. I don’t have to tap dance and explain myself because it’s clear as day what it looks like and the fans ain’t stupid.”
She also addressed Julia’s public “disclaimer” post after the season aired, suggesting it was based on old assumptions about how Guerdy would respond.
“I think that Julia was basing my reaction on what the old version of myself would do, which would be like, ‘You know what? Let me give grace. I’m going to wait till the reunion, so 17 episodes until I tell my truth.’ And then I’m like, ‘Yeah, no, we’re not doing this anymore.’”
Guerdy has done the work. She’s grown, she’s healed, and she’s setting new rules—and not everyone is prepared for that shift.
“I had made some changes, and those come with boundaries, and people weren’t expecting me to say, ‘You cannot do this. This is not true.’ … Now, you get to see the whole truth.”
And if her bold stand at her own party made people uncomfortable, so be it.
“If you think that my party was so outrageous, get used to it. Buckle up, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride. And it’s going to be under my terms.”
As for those still trying to twist the narrative? Guerdy had one final message:
“They want to go walk into the conga line. So, bye-bye! Adieu. Adieu to you and you and you.”
