00:00We are here with Julia from The Real Housewives of Miami. I am obsessed with this season. There's so much going on.
00:06But before we get into it, I want to congratulate you on your boys. How's everyone doing?
00:10They're doing great. It's actually in a couple of days, it's going to be Jackson's four years birthday and it'll be the first time we celebrate it together as a family.
00:19Oh, that's so cute. They're adorable. Like, I love to see their little faces. Like, how are they adjusting to the cameras and everything?
00:25It's like they were having a lot of fun with it.
00:26They're loving it, especially Jackson. He flips his long eyelashes and he tells me, Mommy, where are my friends? What friends?
00:34They're friends with cameras. When are they coming back? So he's such a natural.
00:38Oh, my gosh. Catch him on a next-gen Miami in, like, 20 years.
00:43He's loving it.
00:44Well, I have to say, shortly after season seven started, you kind of posted this disclaimer about some things viewers were going to see.
00:51Why did you decide to post that then as opposed to waiting for the reunion to address everything?
00:56Because I think telling the truth and giving some clarity to some things was important to me, and an apology was needed.
01:08That's how I felt. It was a spare of the moment, came from the heart, something not planned, not calculated.
01:14I just needed a response so for people, hopefully, to understand another side of the story.
01:20Right, right. And I want to talk a little bit about Dr. Nicole's appearance in this week's episode.
01:25She kind of felt like maybe you had ditched your friends to be with the cool girls.
01:30You know what it gives?
01:31It's getting thirsty.
01:33You know in middle school, that new girl that comes in that really doesn't have any friends, so she kind of makes up friends with whoever, and then they become, like, friends.
01:41But then all of a sudden, she discovers the cool people, or what she thinks is, like, the cool people, and she, like, leaves the other friends.
01:47What did you think about her saying that, and have you spoken to her at all since that came out?
01:52I haven't spoken to her since. I haven't spoken to Nicole for a while.
01:55We were very good friends. Right now, I respect her privacy. I know she's very close to Gertie, and, you know, I always liked Nicole.
02:05I supported her, but she chose to have, to focus on different things in her life, and I can respect it.
02:11If she feels that I ditched Gertie, I'm very sad and disappointed about that.
02:16That's not exactly how I feel, but, you know, we haven't had a chance to address it.
02:21Right, right. And, you know, getting into this stuff with Gertie, when we talked to her, I believe it was last week,
02:27she had said that the whole cruise thing happened before the last reunion.
02:31The cruise happened before season six reunion.
02:36Wow.
02:37If you see season six reunion, she has my back, she's my friend, but we have no issues.
02:43There was never a discussion about the cruise.
02:45All I did was express my confusion over a situation that happened on the cruise.
02:51I clearly state that I'm not mad at you, but this is how I feel, and you waited until after season six reunion, a whole almost year.
03:00We pick up the cameras, and I am baffled for this to be what you come at me with.
03:05And so why bring it up now as opposed to at the reunion?
03:10What was kind of the thought process behind that?
03:12It was a growing process, and I don't understand why the timeline is so important for Gertie.
03:17We did not become enemies with Gertie at the cruise.
03:22It was just certain distance started to create, certain things I observed and seen about her
03:27that just made me take a step back to reflect, to think, not to fight, but just like, you know, okay, we'll talk maybe another time.
03:39It was like that.
03:40Right.
03:40Certain observations.
03:41It was like a buildup of things.
03:42Yes, yes.
03:43It wasn't particularly B for drama, but it escalated to the extent that I wish it wouldn't be.
03:51Right, right.
03:52And, you know, you guys did seem to bury the hatchet, but then, as we know, Gertie brought
03:56out the text messages at her Celebration of Life party.
03:59It is necessary for me to set the record straight by telling the truth and exposing the lies.
04:04What?
04:06Oh, my God.
04:13In last night's episode, she kind of justified it, explained why she did it.
04:16I don't think there is any justification to this.
04:18There's only an apology to be made to the people who came to support her.
04:23She said she wasn't going to apologize.
04:25Am I proud of the way that I acted at my party?
04:27Would I have done this as a first choice option?
04:29Of course not.
04:30The fact is that I tried every other way with everyone to try to get them to really listen
04:34to me.
04:34They pretended to, right?
04:36But there was already a predetermined notion of who's in the right and who's in the wrong.
04:41And that's the reason why I was pushed to where I went.
04:44What did you think of that?
04:46It just speaks of her character, who she is.
04:50I don't, but, you know, who am I to judge people?
04:53It's not up to me to say when people have to apologize.
04:56An apology has to be genuine.
04:58And if she feels like this one day, I think it will go a long way.
05:02You and Adriana, I am so sad to see that you guys are fighting because I do love your friendship.
05:07And I hope that, I hope that the reunion or something can bring you guys back together.
05:11But in this week's episode, in her confessional, she seemed to think that Gertie's infraction
05:15was less severe than the water thrown.
05:18And she said something along the lines of, like, God forbid Julia gets called out.
05:21Julia started this when the whole water throwing happened.
05:27Gertie planned this whole event.
05:29How perverted and deranged.
05:31To me, putting receipts on a wall is more benign than throwing a glass of water on somebody's
05:38face.
05:38But God forbid Julia gets called out about anything.
05:41What's your response to that?
05:42Called out on what?
05:44You know, they seem to know more about my life than I actually know.
05:48You know, it's, like, interesting to watch to me.
05:50I don't even know what they're referring to.
05:53You know, and it does seem like Adriana has some hard feelings about your growing friendship
05:57with Alexia and Marisol.
05:59And we really saw that when she came to meet your kids for the first time.
06:02And again, on the yacht in last night's episode.
06:05Out of curiosity.
06:06Yes.
06:06Why did the other night at Gertie's event, you did not go back with me and stay behind?
06:17Somebody needs to mediate.
06:19What Gertie did was wrong.
06:21It was wrong.
06:23I'm not condoning it.
06:24Did that surprise you?
06:25And how do you navigate something like that?
06:29Since I became friend of this group, I always had, like, a secret little dream that one day
06:35I could help rebuild the friendship of Marisol, Alexia, and Adriana.
06:40That was fractured.
06:41Little that I knew that it was fractured maybe so many times on so many different levels,
06:47that it's going to be a really hard job for me.
06:48I don't have the muscles for that.
06:50But I still kept hoping.
06:53And, like, I mean, you never know.
06:54You will see this season how things unrolled that I tried and how I tried and some of the successes
07:00and some of the failures, but I did my best.
07:03As far as you and Adriana go, it seems like there was a lot of buildup on both ends as
07:07to what led to this fallout.
07:08What was kind of the main catalyst for you?
07:11I'm still trying to find out because I'm trying to put this puzzle together.
07:18Why, Adriana?
07:19And you will see.
07:20I promise you.
07:21You will see it.
07:22And so it unveils the whole thing until the final episode.
07:28And, of course, the reunion.
07:30I will find out, like, live probably at the same time.
07:32You guys will know what happened.
07:34But I don't know.
07:35But it's not, I can tell you that it's not what she seems, at least from right now,
07:40from what you've seen.
07:41Because right now she's saying it's because I left for the popular girls.
07:47No.
07:48I tried for all of us to be friends.
07:51Right, right.
07:51And I don't know if you saw, but after Watch What Happens Live last night,
07:54she left, she was in the comments section a little bit.
07:57I did not see.
07:57I went to sleep.
07:59Fair.
07:59Well, she said, you know, she didn't feel like your apology was genuine.
08:03She said your answers were rehearsed, memorized.
08:05What's your response to that?
08:08This is so silly.
08:11I mean, I speak from the heart.
08:14I don't know what she memorizes or not, how she prepares.
08:18Maybe she prepares.
08:19That's why she projected things that I'm preparing.
08:21I speak and it comes out as it comes out.
08:26I'm the worst liar.
08:27I cannot lie.
08:28And I don't prepare my answers.
08:30You know why?
08:31Like, of course, I think of them, but I don't prepare, prepare.
08:33Because nothing is going to come out the way you plan.
08:36And I'm going to forget them anyway.
08:37And I'm like so dyslexic.
08:39I'm going to probably say so many wrong things.
08:41So I just kind of feel the room.
08:43I look at the eyes of the person who is interviewing me.
08:46And I feel the energy and I just answer.
08:48And she's just being catty and pity.
08:50And I'm not going to even reply to this.
08:52Yeah.
08:52Like, why would I reply to this?
08:53If that's how she feels she's entitled to her opinion.
08:57Again.
