Host Andy Cohen didn't need cue cards and a sofa to continue grilling Julia Lemigova about that Adriana de Moura bombshell while backstage during The Real Housewives of Miami's Season 7 Reunion Part 2.
Prior to Andy calling for the cast to take a break from filming, Julia had claimed that she and Adriana "slept together" during the RHOM Season 4 cast trip to the Hamptons. Amidst a heated back and forth on the subject, Adriana insisted that she and Julia had only "kissed" while sharing a bed on the getaway.
As Julia walked backstage with Andy and Alexia Nepola, she continued to unpack her jaw-dropping accusation.
"I feel horrible, but I was not me for four years," Julia said. "I couldn't speak the truth. I've never betrayed Adriana with my friendship with Alexia. I tried so much, Andy."
The Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host took the opportunity to ask if she and Adriana "slept together more than once," to which Julia answered, "We slept together once, and then we fooled around in the Versace mansion." (She was referencing Alexia's bachelorette party, which was also featured on RHOM Season 4.)

"We had a one-night stand," Julia continued. "I didn't say it to spread gossip. It had to be known. I never, never betrayed Adriana. I still love her."
That led Andy to wonder if Julia's wife, Martina Navratilova, was "gonna be upset" when she watched the reunion on TV. (The tennis champ was home in Miami with their two adopted sons, Julia previously explained.)
"Martina knows. I told her. And I told her why," Julia replied. "And she did tell me, like, 'Why, Julia, are you going to say it?' I said, 'Darling, because we have to say the truth. Because I can't lie. I cannot pretend.'"
Earlier, Julia had also revealed that Martina "cried" when she told her she planned to come clean about her alleged hookup with Adriana, which she described as happening when their "marriage was not great."
Finally, Andy addressed Adriana's allegation that Julia had "an affair with a Haitian mortician," which Julia responded to with a laugh, saying, "TBD. Affair? No."
Julia Lemigova reveals more details about her and Adriana de Moura's drama
After parting ways with Andy in the hallway, Julia continued the conversation with Alexia, Kiki Barth, and Marysol Patton in a backstage dressing room.
"It was a lot," Julia said of her and Adriana's intense confrontation. "For four years, she was holding it over my head. One wrong move… 'You're not gonna like it. I'm gonna say it.' I said, 'Adriana, stop.'"
When the women pressed her for specifics on her and Adriana's alleged hookup, Julia declined.

"I respect Adriana, and it's too much of intimate details that I’m not gonna go into," she said, simply leaving it at, "We had sex. We slept together. ... We were intimate."
Julia was more forthcoming with accusations that Adriana "controlled" her friendships within the RHOM cast.
"I said, 'Adriana, why did you bring me to this group? To be your puppet?'" she shared with the ladies. "From day one, it was rules: 'Alexia and Marysol are besties; you and I are gonna be besties.' And most important, like, if I would want to get close [to someone else], it was, "No. You cannot, you cannot, you cannot.'"
Inside Julia Lemigova's motivation for dropping the Adriana de Moura bombshell
Back on the reunion stage, Andy gave Julia the floor, so she could make "clear" what her motivation was for "sharing that story" about Adriana publicly.
"I said it because I felt muzzled," Julia answered, claiming that Adriana had predicted that her potentially leaving Martina for her would make a great "storyline" on RHOM. "And that made me really scared, and [I] started doubting the intentions of our friendship."
Earlier, Andy also asked Julia if she was "worried" that Adriana was "gonna tell Martina or the women" what happened between them in the Hamptons.
"Yes, because she was blackmailing me with this," Julia said. "She kept telling me, 'You are here because of me. You owe your paycheck to me.'"

Phaedra Parks Fiercely Defends Son After Trolls Target Ayden With Homophobic Remarks: "My Child Is Perfect!"-quang
ATLANTA, GA – Former "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Phaedra Parks is known for her sharp wit and unwavering loyalty, and she recently put both on full display after her son, Ayden, became the target of online trolls making homophobic comments. The reality star and attorney didn't hesitate to shut down the negativity, delivering a powerful message of acceptance and unconditional love.
The controversy began after Parks shared a video of Ayden, 14, participating in a school activity. While many fans praised Ayden's charisma and intelligence, a handful of commenters made disparaging remarks, questioning his sexuality and using stereotypical language.
Parks, who is fiercely protective of her children, quickly responded to the hateful comments. In a series of posts across her social media platforms, she defended Ayden, emphasizing that his identity is his own to define and that she loves and supports him unconditionally.
"My son Ayden is a bright, talented, and amazing young man," Parks wrote on Instagram. "He is loved, he is valued, and he is perfect exactly as he is. It is disheartening to see people online making assumptions and spreading negativity about a child they don't even know."
Parks went on to address the broader issue of homophobia and bullying. "We need to teach our children to be kind, accepting, and respectful of others, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation," she stated. "Love is love, and I will always stand up for my son and for anyone who is being targeted because of who they are."
Parks' response has been met with an outpouring of support from fans, fellow celebrities, and LGBTQ+ advocates. Many have praised her for using her platform to speak out against hate and to promote inclusivity.
"Phaedra, you are an amazing mother," one fan commented on her post. "Thank you for standing up for your son and for sending such a powerful message of love and acceptance."
Another user wrote, "As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am so grateful for your support. Your words mean the world to us."
Parks' defense of Ayden highlights the ongoing challenges faced by LGBTQ+ youth and the importance of parental support and advocacy. While progress has been made in recent years, homophobic attitudes and bullying remain a significant problem.
Parks' message is clear: every child deserves to be loved and accepted for who they are, and parents have a responsibility to protect their children from hate and discrimination. Her actions serve as an example for other parents and public figures to use their voices to promote a more inclusive and compassionate world.
This isn't the first time Parks has spoken out on social issues. She has been a vocal advocate for civil rights, criminal justice reform, and women's empowerment. Her willingness to use her platform to address difficult topics has earned her the respect of many and solidified her position as a role model for her fans.
The incident involving Ayden serves as a reminder that the fight for equality and acceptance is far from over. However, with strong voices like Phaedra Parks leading the way, there is hope for a future where all children can grow up feeling safe, loved, and valued for who they are.

The Saints are amidst a complete rebuild. This has led to speculation about New Orleans trading their veteran players. One of the players who have received attention is Cameron Jordan.
Josh Weil at Pro Football Network proposed a trade that could be beneficial for both sides.
First off, losing Jordan would hurt on the field, but be devastating off it. He is a franchise legend and a community cornerstone. In addition, he is having an outstanding season, with 2.5 sacks and four tackles for loss. Trading him would be a tough decision, and likely one the Saints won’t make. However, every player has a price.
In this proposal, Jordan gets shipped off to the San Francisco 49ers and the Saints get a 2026 third-round pick. He would go to a championship contender and the Saints would get significant draft capital. It would make sense for both sides if New Orleans would be willing to move on.
The capital is great, but the trade is unlikely
Obtaining a third round pick for a 36 year old player is amazing value. Rebuilding wise, it’s a perfect trade. Weil makes some great points on why it would make sense. However, it still seems unlikely the Saints would pull the trigger.
“The Saints are committed to a rebuild, and Kellen Moore still has the boys playing hard, which you must respect.” Weil said, “Look for some veterans to leave New Orleans and for Moore to look to bring in guys who match more with the style he intends to play there.”
Jordan has clearly stated his desire to finish his career in the Big Easy. It’s unlikely the Saints would cross him and send him elsewhere. In addition, he’s still a big contributor defensively. Even if they get draft capital, it’s tough to see them moving on.
This trade would create some financial issues. Trading Jordan would net $17.5 million in dead money according to Over the Cap. This would put the Saints approximately $7.5 million over the salary cap this season. Nothing they couldn’t fix, but still an added complication.
This trade makes sense on paper. They ship off a veteran player and get some draft capital back. However, it’s still unlikely to happen. Cameron Jordan means too much to the team and community to trade, plus it would create some financial restrictions.
