It looks like Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Nepola might be giving love another shot, with her ex-husband Todd Nepola, despite his ongoing $11 million legal battle against Bravo and NBCUniversal.
According to an insider who spoke with Radar Online, “Alexia is back with Todd, despite her denials to the contrary.” The source continued, “She’s been seen with him quite a bit out and about, and she’s doing a really s—- job of hiding it. This is definitely controversial, given Todd is currently in litigation with Bravo for defamation and unauthorized use of his image.”
The rekindled relationship has raised eyebrows, especially since Todd’s lawsuit directly targets Bravo, the very network that made Alexia a household name. Still, insiders claim Alexia is trying to manage the optics with the network.
“Alexia is insisting to Bravo she’s back with him to try to get him to drop the lawsuit, which isn’t true,” the source explained. “He doesn’t have power over Todd, as has been witnessed by him suddenly walking out on her. He also doesn’t have much of a case, and his lawyers will likely convince him to take a settlement without it going to trial. He likely will take something if it’s thrown at him, and then this will all be a non-issue.”
Despite the complicated situation, the insider made one thing clear: “Regardless of what happens, it’s clear Alexia is still madly in love with him and is not giving up on her relationship.”
The $11 Million Lawsuit Against Bravo
Todd Nepola’s ongoing $11 million lawsuit accuses Bravo and NBCUniversal of defamation and unauthorized use of his name and likeness related to his appearances in Seasons 6 and 7 of The Real Housewives of Miami.
In the court filing, Todd claims the network “told lies about his finances for storylines” and used “manipulated storylines and unauthorized footage.” He alleges that the show portrayed him as being in financial trouble to make Alexia’s storyline “more ‘juicy’ for those who watch.”
Todd insists the portrayal is far from reality, stating he’s worth $100 million and has “never bounced a check, never missed a payment, and never had any financial trouble.”
As the legal battle unfolds, fans are watching closely to see whether Alexia and Todd’s rumored reconciliation will complicate matters further — or possibly bring them both some closure.
