Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Nepola’s ex-husband, Todd Nepola, has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Bravo, alleging defamation.
On Tuesday, Todd filed the defamation lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Bravo, its parent company NBCUniversal Media, and producers Purveyors of Pop.
The 52-year-old claims he was defamed during the past two seasons of the Bravo series, and that the network falsely portrayed him as “financially irresponsible or suffering from financial distress, despite his multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio and long-standing business reputation.”
“RHOM has continued to intentionally and maliciously air defamatory statements about Mr. Nepola, misuse his name and likeness, and damage his reputation in the Miami business community,” the filing reads.
Alexia and Todd tied the knot back in December 2021, and Todd filed for divorce in April 2024, which was finalized in March 2025.
“This lawsuit represents an opportunity for Todd Nepola to set the record straight and hold the Defendants accountable for their intentional and reckless disregard for the truth,” Todd’s attorney, Scott Weiselberg, said in a statement. “Enough is enough!”
He is seeking $1 million in damages on this second claim. He is requesting a jury trial.
