Adriana de Moura might only be a “friend of” on the latest season of Real Housewives of Miami, but let’s not forget her roots. For the first three seasons of the franchise, she was a dominant housewife, always bringing the fun, but also the drama. Some of that drama came in the form of her close relationship with her costar, Lea Black. The two were thick as thieves until well, they weren’t. While Adriana thought Lea had her back, Lea accused Adriana of using her for money and lying about her marriage to Frederic Marq. Adriana accused Lea of attacking her for a storyline and the friendship was over.
When the fourth season was cast, all these years later, Lea wasn’t a part of it. And while it wasn’t a surprise to her former castmates, fans were wondering what happened. Current housewife Alexia Echevarria recently explained of Lea, “Honestly? [Lea] doesn’t have a relationship with any of us. It would’ve been weird if they would’ve brought her because she really doesn’t have a relationship with any of us. And I feel that that’s such a key factor in this kind of show.”
Sounds like Adriana agrees can attest to that. On a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Adriana made her feelings clear when a fan mentioned Lea. Adriana responded, “Lea, who?” Host Andy Cohen took the opportunity to note, “I guess you two haven’t made up.” Adriana admitted, “No. I tried. Many times. I gave up.”

But while Adriana might have given up on her relationship with Lea, it hasn’t stopped Lea from talking about the latest season of RHOM. Lea recently slammed Alexia for “outing” estranged husband Herman Echevarria, who passed away in 2016. Lea noted that outing a deceased person’s sexuality is “not fair.” She added that, “He’s not here to defend himself” and that Herman “did nothing but lavish [Alexia] with luxury for years.”
Lea also recently took issue with housewife Larsa Pippen. Lea claimed that Larsa doesn’t show the genuine parts of her life. She explained, “I’ve never seen her crying or complain[ing] or whining about her personal life. I’ve never seen any of that with her, so I wouldn’t expect it.” She added, “[She] has a very see-and-be-seen superficial kind of life.”
In fairness to Larsa, maybe she just doesn’t have anything to cry about right now. She’s making tons of cash on OnlyFans, is still on good terms with her now ex-husband and wants for nothing. Sure, maybe Larsa has her problems because we all do. I’m just saying that because she doesn’t show herself “complaining” or “whining,” it doesn’t make her superficial.

Either way, it doesn’t sound to me like Lea is over her time on the show. Maybe she should have kept in touch.
