“Real Housewives of Miami” star Julia Lemigova is finally speaking out about the viral Julia Lemigova Haitian mortician affair rumors that exploded during the Season 7 reunion.
Her castmate Adriana de Moura shocked fans by claiming Lemigova was “cheating on [wife] Martina [Navratilova] with a Haitian mortician,” even alleging that the former model brought champagne to motels and gifted the man a coffee machine.
The statement caused chaos among the cast and fans alike — but Lemigova says the story is being twisted.
Speaking at a live fan event hosted by Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton, Lemigova grabbed the mic to set the record straight.
“Do you want to know if it’s true?” she asked the audience. After the crowd’s laughter and cheers, Lemigova said, “Yes!” — but immediately followed it up with, “Do you want to know if it happened while I was married to Martina? F— no!”
Lemigova clarified that the Julia Lemigova Haitian mortician affair did happen, but years before her marriage to tennis legend Martina Navratilova in 2014.
According to Lemigova, she was living in Paris at the time, running her spa business, when she met the Haitian mortician, who offered free makeup services in exchange for a job.
“That was the last time I ever saw him,” she said, shutting down the idea of a long-term relationship.
And that infamous coffee machine? Completely fabricated.
“Adriana takes a piece of truth and wraps it in lies,” Lemigova told fans. “No, I did not give the Haitian mortician a coffeemaker!”
The Julia Lemigova Haitian mortician affair claims add another layer to the already tense friendship between Lemigova and De Moura. The two had their own scandal in Season 4 when Lemigova revealed they “slept together” during a Hamptons trip — something De Moura denied before later admitting to “kissing” and “heavy petting.”
For now, Lemigova is taking the rumors in stride, laughing off the gossip and focusing on her marriage and career.
