In a March 19 Instagram post, the RHOM star reflected on what the show has meant to her — both personally and culturally — as uncertainty continues around its future.

“As a proud Latina, being part of a platform like RHOM on Bravo has always meant more to me than just reality television—it’s meant visibility, representation, and having a voice,” she wrote.

Nepola admitted the pause has been difficult to process.

“Hearing that the show is currently on pause is disheartening, and it’s hard not to feel the weight of that.”

She went on to emphasize how important opportunities like RHOM are, especially when it comes to representation.

“Opportunities like this are rare, and they matter. They open doors, challenge perceptions, and allow our stories—and our culture—to be seen and celebrated on a larger stage.”

Despite her disappointment, Alexia said she’s choosing to stay hopeful about what could come next.

“At the same time, I truly believe that a pause can create space for something even greater,” she shared.

“I’ve always felt this show plays an important role in celebrating Latin voices, and that’s something I will always carry with me.”

Alexia ended her message by thanking fans and making it clear she doesn’t see this as the end.

“Most of all, I’m grateful for the connection—for everyone who has supported me, followed my journey, and been part of it all.”

“This isn’t goodbye… it’s simply see you soon.”

As RHOM remains on hold with no confirmed return date, Alexia’s message reflects both the uncertainty surrounding the show — and the impact it’s had beyond just reality TV.
