00:00Several Real Housewives of Miami stars may not be returning for Season 8 of the Bravo reality show.
00:06Page Six has learned.
00:07Multiple sources tell us Gertie Abreyda and Julia Lemigova are on the chopping block.
00:13We're also told there may be a third cast cut that would take fans by surprise.
00:18Additionally, our insiders say Stephanie Shojai is not sold on coming back for a sophomore season.
00:24Some of our informants note that Todd Nipola's $10 million defamation lawsuit against the network, which he filed as the
00:31Season 7 reunion was airing, has left production stumped on how to proceed with his on-again-off-again ex
00:37-wife Alexia Nipola, who happens to be a fan favorite.
00:41But as one of our sources points out, not only did Todd file to dismiss the suit with prejudice in
00:46December, but showrunners have warped around his issues in the past, and they would do it again.
00:51According to our insiders, execs are also taking into account how things went for the Miami cast at BravoCon 2025,
00:59which took place in November.
01:01Their panel was far from the most entertaining or seamless of the weekend, which we're told did not inspire producers
01:07to rush to pick cameras back up.
01:09According to one informant, there have been conversations about getting the ball rolling in April, but dates have not been
01:16locked in and contracts have not been sent out.
01:18Season 7 starred Alexia, Gertie, Julia, Stephanie, Lisa Hochstein, and Larsa Pippen, alongside friends of the cast Marisol Patton, Adriana
01:29DeMora, and Kiki Barth.
01:30Our sources say the ladies are generally worried about their fates as well as the future of the series.
01:36However, we are assured Miami is not on pause.
01:39One insider insists Bravo is still very much interested in filming another season, but that the network wants to take
01:45its time perfecting the cast.
01:47Andy Cohen recently made similar comments on his SiriusXM radio show, telling listeners,
01:56Though he doesn't want the show sitting on a shelf for so long, he also argued that there's a benefit
02:02in waiting.
02:03The Real Housewives honcho went on to point out that other cities, like New York and Atlanta, have previously experienced
02:09longer-than-usual breaks in between seasons.
02:12Reps for Bravo and the Miami cast members did not immediately respond to our requests for comment.
