Real Housewives of Miami preview reveals cracks in Alexia and Marysol's friendship

Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton have one of those annoying friendships on The Real Housewives of Miami where they don't fight or accuse one another of defrauding the government.

But at least one of those things no longer seems be true in an exclusive preview of this week's The Real Housewives of Miami.

At a dinner party — where secrets and betrayals always come out between the drinks and appetizers — Alexia and Marysol are at odds when Julia Lemigova brings up an incident that happened last season where Marysol didn't have her bestie's back.

"What Julia's saying makes a lot of sense," Alexia says. "And you and I have had this discussion. The fact that you do say things about different people in the group and then you don't own up to it. And then I'm the one that gets the heat for it."

Meanwhile, Guerdy Abraira and Dr. Nicole Martin are at the end of the table, snacking on this burgeoning rift between the two women.

"I mean, this is a first," Dr. Nicole says in her confessional. "You rarely see Alexia contradict Marysol."

"You have to have the person's back," Alexia continues in her contradiction, "and stick up for the person."

Not that the weakening of a years-long friendship is anything to celebrate, but this is Real Housewives after all — might as well grab some popcorn and see how this turns out. Check out the RHOM clip below:

The Real Housewives of Miami airs Wednesdays at 9p.m. ET on Bravo and streams next day on Peacock.
