The Real Housewives of Miami cast has long promised that the Season 7 reunion would be the series’ most shocking yet, and now that the three-part special has concluded, it’s safe to say they delivered. Lucky for fans, though, there are even more reveals still to come, because The Daily Dish was on set during the taping.
As a result, we’re exclusively revealing everything that went down behind the scenes with host Andy Cohen and RHOM cast members Alexia Nepola, Guerdy Abraira, Julia Lemigova, Larsa Pippen, Lisa Hochstein, and Stephanie Shojaee, as well as friends Adriana de Moura, Kiki Barth, and Marysol Patton.
Up first? Andy’s hilarious pre-filming declaration that was preceded by Marysol asking if there were any tissues available “for the criers.”
“I’m gonna see if I can make you cry,” Andy replied, before turning to first-time reunion attendee Stephanie. “Have you ever cried on TV, Stephanie?”
Thankfully for the aforementioned “criers,” tissues were then handed out. Marysol’s response? “These are excellent quality.”

What Andy and the RHOM cast said about the reunion set and seating chart off-camera
Upon first seeing the vibrant reunion set (complete with one giant, long couch), Andy said, “Wow. Oh my God. It’s like Love Island.”
The RHOM cast was equally impressed, with Alexia describing the set as “beautiful.”
Julia and Marysol’s unaired conversation about their similar reunion dresses
Julia and Marysol’s reunion looks were similar shades of blue, prompting Lisa to tell them, “You guys are wearing the exact same dress.”
“We didn’t plan it,” Marysol replied. Later, when explaining what she did plan for, Marysol said, “For the reunion I wanted to channel a sea goddess, a little sea nymph, something ethereal and powerful. I chose an Albina Dyla dress with Givenchy heels, and of course I wore my mama Elsa’s rings to carry her with me.”
Julia, meanwhile, said she wanted her look to reflect the fact that she went through “a lot of waves” on RHOM Season 7. “The ocean is a perfect metaphor for the dress.”
Lisa’s bold statement about Adriana that didn’t make it to air on the reunion
Viewers saw Adriana bring her poodle Basquiat — who she described as her “emotional support dog” — onto the reunion stage during Part 1, only for Andy to tell her, “Adriana, they won’t let you keep your pooch on the set.” But what viewers didn’t see is Lisa tell Adriana that her pup was “the best accessory” she’s ever had.
