The sizzling drama of Real Housewives of Miami is back, and just a few episodes into the new season, the claws are already out! The latest feud scorching the Miami scene is between Larsa Pippen and Lisa Hochstein, with their once-tight friendship crumbling faster than a South Beach sandcastle. Now, Kiki Barth is stepping into the fray, serving up her unfiltered take on the explosive fallout and stirring the pot with her bold perspective.
A Friendship Fractured
This season, viewers have watched Larsa’s high-profile romance with Marcus Jordan, son of basketball legend Michael Jordan, crash and burn. The breakup was messy, with Larsa’s own children urging her to walk away from the relationship. But the drama didn’t stop there. As Larsa nursed the wounds of her split, her long-standing friendship with Lisa Hochstein took a devastating hit, unraveling in a storm Ascendant and sparking a firestorm of tension.
The root of the rift? A loyalty betrayal that cut deep. Lisa’s failure to unfollow Marcus on social media after the breakup left Larsa feeling stabbed in the back. To make matters worse, Lisa and her boyfriend, Jody Glidden, continued to maintain ties with Marcus, who allegedly bombarded Larsa and her circle with malicious rumors and threatening messages. For Larsa, it wasn’t just a breakup—it was a betrayal by those she trusted most.
Kiki Barth Weighs In
Enter Kiki Barth, the voice of reason—or is it the spark to ignite more drama? In an exclusive interview with Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea, Kiki made it clear she’s not here to pick sides… but she’s definitely got Larsa’s back. “It’s not about picking sides,” Kiki declared, before diving into why she understands Larsa’s pain. For Kiki, it’s a matter of respect and loyalty.

“If I’m with a man and I introduce you to him, and you’re my best friend for years,” Kiki explained, “if I break up with him and he’s bashing me, as my friend, I’d expect you to unfollow him out of respect for me.” It’s a simple code of friendship in Kiki’s book, and she’s not afraid to call it like she sees it.
When Larsa, now happily dating Jeff Coby, finally cut ties with Marcus for good, Kiki didn’t hesitate. “As soon as they broke up, and I wasn’t even in a good place with Larsa, I unfollowed him,” she said. “I did it because of the respect I have for my girlfriend.” Talk about a girl’s girl!
Giving Lisa Some Grace
Kiki, however, isn’t throwing Lisa completely under the bus. When it comes to Jody’s continued connection with Marcus, Kiki offers a touch of understanding. “I don’t think Lisa has any control over that because he’s a man. He’ll do whatever he wants to do,” she noted. Still, Kiki acknowledges the sting Larsa feels, especially since she was the one who introduced Marcus to Lisa and Jody in the first place. “Larsa is hurt because she feels she brought him into their circle,” Kiki added, summing up the emotional weight of the betrayal.
The Miami Heat Keeps Rising
As the Real Housewives of Miami drama unfolds, Kiki Barth’s candid commentary is fanning the flames of this fiery feud. With loyalties tested, friendships fractured, and shade thrown in every direction, one thing is clear: the Miami heat is only getting hotter. Will Larsa and Lisa mend their broken bond, or is this the end of an era for these Housewives? Stay tuned, because this season is serving up chaos with a side of glamour, and Kiki Barth is here to keep it real.
