Alexia Echevarria, the executive editor of Venue Magazine who calls herself a “Cuban Barbie," is under fire for allowing her teenage son to consume alcoholic beverages.
In the premiere episode, the married mom of two talks openly with her son about buying a table at a club with bottle service, and she tells ET, “We see drinking with our children as something social, cultural, special occasions.” She says she's more of an older sister to her two sons and admits, “You never know if you’re doing the right thing.”
The ladies were coy when asked to reveal the villain on the show. Lea Black, a Texas native says, "I think collectively people have their opinions and maybe there are some mean girls, but I can't speak personally about it.
There is quite a bit of drama, but I wouldn't say it's hair-pulling table-flipping drama," Black said. Marysol Patton, who owns her own public relations firm in Miami, wants viewers to stay tuned past the third episode when things start to really heat up.
The ladies say they are ready for the spotlight and not worried about editing of the show. Black says, "I think you have to give people the material, no one can force you to say the things you say. If I said it in a mean spirit and it was portrayed in a mean spirit, then that's that." Echevarria adds that you are never prepared to hear something negative. "We chose to do this, this comes with the territory," she says.
Their friends and family are very supportive of them being on the show. However, Echevarria says her husband was not onboard in the beginning, "It was almost divorce," she explains. She reports that he is now very supportive and happy she decided to do the show.
On the other housewives, Black says Adriana De Moura, a newly engaged gallery owner, has a lot to offer the show. "She's controversial, upbeat and fabulous," Black adds. Larsa Pippen, wife of basketball star Scottie Pippen, is funny and witty, but tends to play it safe, according to Patton. Black explains she is still trying to figure out castmate Cristy Rice, a recently divorced mom of three who runs her own clothing store, but says Rice speaks several languages and is extremely intelligent.
“The Real Housewives of Miami” premieres on Tuesday, February 22 at 10pm ET/PT on Bravo.
