Alexia Nepola can’t escape the spotlight — even when she isn’t the one chasing it. The Real Housewives of Miami star finds herself at the center of Bravo’s latest legal drama after her ex-husband, Todd Nepola, filed a $10 million defamation lawsuit against the network.
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Todd claims Bravo “intentionally and maliciously” aired false statements portraying him as “financially irresponsible or in distress.” The Miami developer alleges the show misused his name and image to fuel Alexia’s storyline in RHOM Seasons 6 and 7 — seasons for which he says he never signed a contract.
Todd, 52, maintains that he only appeared in earlier seasons “out of love and support” for Alexia before their split became public in 2024. The pair finalized their divorce this March after two years of marriage, but Alexia’s ongoing narrative on the show — centered around their breakup and rumored money issues — has kept his name in circulation.
Castmate Adriana de Moura reportedly suggested on-air that Alexia and Todd were “having money trouble,” a claim Todd calls baseless and reputation-damaging. He says he repeatedly warned producers that their version of events was false — but was told they “did not care.”
The lawsuit paints a familiar picture of Bravo’s reality playbook: truth bent for entertainment. Todd insists his net worth “exceeds $100 million” and that he’s “never missed a payment or faced foreclosure.”
Meanwhile, Alexia — ever the Cuban Barbie and seasoned Housewife — remains the face of the chaos. Whether she’s a bystander or the story’s gravitational pull, one thing’s certain: in Miami, Alexia Nepola never stays out of the frame for long.
