The seventh season of The Real Housewives of Miami (RHOM) is serving up drama hotter than a South Beach summer, and fans are buzzing, calling it the crown jewel of the franchise despite its underdog status. The return of nearly the entire cast—minus Dr. Nicole Martin—has brought fresh faces and fiery feuds, with newbie Stephanie Shojaee diving headfirst into the chaos. But it’s Lisa Hochstein who’s stealing the spotlight, spilling scalding tea in a recent Virtual Reali-Tea podcast episode that has everyone talking.
When the podcast hosts pressed Lisa to name the fakest housewife on the show, she didn’t hesitate, delivering a bombshell with zero sugarcoating: “Right now, how I feel? Larsa.” The tension between Lisa Hochstein and Larsa Pippen is palpable, and resolution seems nowhere in sight. “Not yet,” Lisa admitted when asked if they’d mended fences. Watching the season unfold, she’s been reliving the pain, uncovering moments she wasn’t privy to during filming. “It’s hard because when you’re rewatching the show, you’re reliving it, and you’re seeing what’s happening when you’re not there, and it’s hurtful,” she shared, her voice heavy with emotion.
One scene, in particular, stung deeply: Larsa scrolling on her phone, seemingly unbothered, while Lisa broke down in tears after being told no one liked her. “Isn’t she like bothered?” Lisa questioned. “I was like, ‘Why isn’t she upset?’” The betrayal cut deep, exposing cracks in their friendship that have yet to heal.
Lisa also addressed her now-infamous tardiness to the Goddess Party, a moment that sparked shade from Larsa. “First of all, I thought it was a Goddess party, so I dressed up like a Goddess, and I had a wardrobe malfunction,” Lisa explained. “My boobs were popping out the entire time. They didn’t show it, thank God, but that’s why Larsa said, ‘Go get a dress in your size.’” The dress, her only “Goddess” option, turned out to be a poor fit for what was revealed to be a narcissist-themed bash. “It didn’t really matter because it was a narcissist party, so I could have worn anything,” she quipped.
The incident prompted Lisa to reflect on her chronic lateness, a habit she’s now tackling head-on. “After seeing that, it really made me take a deeper look at myself, and I’m like, ‘I can’t… I gotta time myself better,’” she confessed. With the help of a time management coach, Lisa is owning her flaws, acknowledging the ripple effect her tardiness has on others. “I take full responsibility, which I think some women could start learning from that. Take responsibility for your actions,” she said, throwing subtle shade at her castmates.
The drama doesn’t stop with Lisa and Larsa. She also weighed in on the icy rift between Julia Lemigova and Adriana de Moura, a feud that’s breaking fans’ hearts. “I don’t like it,” Lisa admitted when asked about their strained friendship. She pointed fingers at the group dynamics, suggesting Adriana is being “iced out” as Julia gravitates toward what Lisa calls “the cool girls.” “If it were me and that were my best friend, and all of a sudden she seems to be on another team… I don’t like that. It’s icky,” she said.
Lisa revealed a pattern in Julia’s behavior, noting her longtime quest for Larsa’s approval. “I have hung out with her outside of the show. We’ve been friendly since the beginning, and she always seems to me to have wanted Larsa’s approval,” Lisa recalled, referencing a season five moment where Julia called out Larsa for not liking her photos. Now, with Julia cozying up to Larsa, Lisa senses a shift. “Here we are now, all of a sudden, wonder why, Larsa became friendly with her, and now it seems like she’s going to that side and kind of turning her back on me even,” she said. Despite Julia’s efforts, Lisa believes she’s still chasing a validation from Larsa that may never come.
Season seven of RHOM is proving to be a rollercoaster of raw emotions, shattered alliances, and unfiltered truths. Lisa Hochstein’s candid revelations—calling out Larsa’s authenticity, owning her own shortcomings, and spotlighting Julia and Adriana’s fractured bond—have only amplified the drama. As the season unfolds, one thing is clear: Miami’s housewives are holding nothing back, and fans are here for every jaw-dropping moment.
