The Real Housewives of Miami is no stranger to dramatic friendship breakups, but Season 7 has delivered a particularly emotional—and controversial—fallout that’s left fans divided. The once-tight bond between Julia Lemigova and Guerdy Abraira has seemingly unraveled beyond repair, and both women are telling very different sides of the story.

Following intense backlash from viewers after the Season 7 premiere, Julia Lemigova took to Instagram in an attempt to explain her behavior, particularly her distant, erratic demeanor toward Guerdy. In a lengthy and heartfelt post, Julia revealed that just before filming began, she and wife Martina Navratilova were in the midst of adopting two young boys.

“It was sudden, emotional, and felt deeply destined,” Julia wrote. “But here’s the part no one saw: the adoptions weren’t finalized. Not yet. I was living in an emotional in-between, loving these boys fiercely while navigating legal uncertainty and keeping so much of it quiet.”

She went on to say that this personal storm affected how she showed up—especially in moments that fans perceived as cold or bizarre. She admitted to “fumbling” and claimed her friendship with Guerdy had already shifted prior to filming, adding that their bond wasn’t broken by conflict, but by life’s quiet drift.

Still, viewers and fellow castmates weren’t all convinced.

In a searing interview with The New York Post, Guerdy Abraira made it clear: she didn’t see the betrayal coming.

“Blindsided is not the word,” she said. “You’re loyal when there’s no cameras, and that was me, and she was loyal to the camera.”

The root of the fallout, according to Guerdy, began during a Zoom call in the premiere episode, where Julia revealed the adoption news to the group. Guerdy briefly joined and then exited the call, which Julia interpreted as a lack of support. But Guerdy insists she was shocked by how cold and performative Julia became on-screen.

She didn’t mince words. “I called that person and that version of what I saw this season ‘Judas,’ not Julia.”

She even hinted at receipts to back up her claims, saying, “The facts are the facts and I have them all.”

Guerdy wasn’t the only friend Julia seemingly lost this season. Longtime bestie Adriana de Moura has also fallen out with her. Guerdy pointed to this as part of a larger pattern.

“There’s a pattern,” she said. “So you’re talking about someone who’s been engaged nine times, and is always hopping and hopping. Is it clout chasing? Is it social climbing? Whatever you want to call it, the facts are there.”

Guerdy described herself as “loyal to a fault” and took a thinly veiled swipe at Julia’s motives. “Some people stay steady. And then other ones are the ones that are always hopping. So call them the bunny that hops, right?”

The Julia-Guerdy rift taps into core Housewives themes: loyalty, authenticity, and the fine line between reality and performance. Julia is asking for compassion, citing an emotionally turbulent time, while Guerdy is calling for accountability and questioning Julia’s true motives.

The stakes feel high not just because of what’s happening on camera, but because of how deeply personal both women say this is. Guerdy’s warning that things even became “physical” during filming raises serious questions about what’s still to come this season.

One thing is clear: the fractures in these friendships aren’t just for the storyline. They’re real, they’re raw, and they’re reshaping the social landscape of RHOM Season 7.

Will Julia’s explanation be enough to redeem her in the eyes of fans—or her former friends? Or has the emotional storm she referenced swept away any hope of reconciliation?
