‘RHOM' star Julia Lemigova reveals ‘sad and disturbing' Adriana de Moura friendship breakup: ‘What's done is done'
Calling in to SiriusXM's 'Page Six Radio' on Friday, Lemigova told us about the 'sad and disturbing' end of their friendship while discussing her current role in the Florida Grand Opera's 'Carmen.'
'Sorry to break [this to you]. [De Moura] will not be coming to watch me in 'Carmen,'' said the Bravolebrity, who has performances at the Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale on April 24 and 26.
'For years, people have been telling me not to trust certain people, and I think I wanted to fight that, to fight what they were telling me,' she continued. 'But now I'm finally opening my eyes and seeing maybe they were right all along.'
Lemigova, 52, joined 'RHOM' in Season 4 when Peacock rebooted the reality show in 2021 after eight years off the air. She entered the fray via de Moura, 59, a longtime friend, who starred as a full-time cast member in the original iteration, but has maintained a 'friend of' role in its revived state.
Lemigova told 'Page Six Radio' that she and de Moura clashed while filming the forthcoming seventh season of 'RHOM,' further claiming that the 'Feel the Rush' singer came 'directly at' her on camera.
In video footage that circulated on social media in December 2024, Lemigova and de Moura were seen in a skirmish for which production was present.
In one clip, de Moura seemed to tell Lemigova, 'I see you for who you are … and now I'm going to treat you how you treat me.'
Months later, Lemigova — a native of Russia who made history as the first out lesbian 'Housewife' to be cast on the juggernaut franchise — seems befuddled by de Moura's assessment of their discord.
Lemigova is curious to discover more details about de Moura's reasons for engaging in a feud when 'RHOM' returns. (Bravo released a teaser for the new season this week, but the network has yet to announce a premiere date.)

'Adriana is a very mysterious person. You never really know with her. You will see it,' explained Lemigova, who is anxious to see what de Moura said behind her back when the women filmed separately.
'The incredible part is, as you're watching the show, you will be discovering things about our relationship at the same time as I am discovering them myself.'
Lemigova told 'Page Six Radio' that while the future of her friendship with de Moura remains in flux, a reconciliation doesn't seem imminent.
'There are still maybe some things I don't know [about why we fell out]. I don't even know what and why. I just know some facts, and it's very sad and disturbing. But, you know, what's done is done,' she said.
'And life is going on. You just have to learn from things and just keep going. So I don't know what tomorrow's going to bring — but for now, all I can say is, no, Adriana will not be coming to see me in 'Carmen.''
Several of Lemigova's 'RHOM' co-stars — including Kiki Barth, plus off-and-on couple Alexia and Todd Nepola — did, however, come to see her light up the stage as Carmen's nemesis, Manuelita, when the opera played in Miami on April 12.
Typically, Manuelita is seen for just 10 seconds onstage and, in some productions of 'Carmen,' only mentioned by name. But director Maria Todaro wanted to utilize Lemigova's star power, showcasing her character — who doesn't sing but delivers a physically demanding performance — in all four acts.
'It's a very sexy show,' said Lemigova, noting that Alexia, 57, and Todd, 52 — who recently finalized their divorce but appear to still be dating, hitting up events on the Miami social scene and even smooching in public — seemed to be be so 'hot and bothered' by the opera that they had to 'excuse themselves' from the audience.
The entertainer added, 'They did leave. Maybe it was a little too hot to handle and they had to go home, but I think that just means we did a good job onstage.'

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have already ‘cooled off' after ‘fallout' from intimate dinner date: report
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau's budding romance has reportedly 'cooled off' due to their busy schedules and Trudeau being uncomfortable with the spotlight that comes with dating the pop star. After the duo was snapped last month on an intimate dinner date in Montreal and he later attended her sold-out 'Lifetimes' tour stop in Canada, their communication has 'waned in the past two weeks,' the Daily Mail reported Monday. 'She's busy, he's busy,' an insider shared with the outlet, which also reported that the two previously texted 'nonstop' in July. 'They have a lot going on, and the newness has worn off.' 'But there's nothing negative about it,' the insider continued. 'They just aren't in constant communication anymore. That could change, but for now, it is what it is. It has cooled off.' The former Canadian Prime Minister was also reportedly bothered by the massive attention his dinner date with Perry got, which happened weeks after news broke of the 'Dark Horse' singer's split from Orlando Bloom. 'I know for a fact that Justin wasn't thrilled about the pictures getting out,' the source said. 'It was a first date. A first date! And these pictures came out and it became this huge thing, which is not what he seems to have wanted.' The source noted Trudeau was 'not prepared' for all the attention that comes with dating Perry. 'It can be a lot and it can be overwhelming,' the source explained. A second source told the publication that currently, Perry, 40, and Trudeau, 53, are just friends. 'She isn't ready to start dating anyone right now, she has to continue to focus on her healing from separating from Orlando,' the source said. Although Perry and Trudeau's pairing came as a surprise to many, they reportedly had an 'instant connection' after meeting. 'They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes,' a source previously told People. 'She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada.' 'There is an attraction,' the source added. 'They have a lot in common.' Trudeau separated from his wife, Sophie Grégoire, in 2023 after 18 years of marriage. The former couple shares three children: sons Xavier, 17, and Hadrien, 11, and daughter Ella-Grace, 16. Perry and Bloom confirmed their split in early July after nearly 10 years together. The two share a 4-year-old daughter, Daisy.

'Call Her Daddy' Host Alex Cooper Reveals What She Did For Cash Before Podcast
Alex Cooper is getting candid about her days of humble beginnings before podcast fame. The media personality opened up about what she did to make ends meet before discovering how powerful her words and opinions were behind a microphone. Alex Cooper started the "Call Her Daddy" podcast in 2018, alongside her then-roommate Sofia Franklyn. The show was acquired by Barstool Sports one month after its first episode aired. Alex Cooper's Employment Situation Introduced Her To Sugar Daddy Dating The content creator revealed that she used to go out on dates with sugar daddies for money after meeting them on select websites. The money from these meet-ups was used to sort rent on her New York City apartment at the time. Cooper found a way out through this arrangement after she was laid off from her job selling ads at Gotham magazine. She explained on her podcast in 2020 that the plan was to "go get drinks and dinner, and by the end of the night have enough money for rent." Cooper added that a friend would always stick around while the date went on to ensure she was okay, amid advice that anyone considering signing up on the website should be careful. Despite leaving her past behind and going on to sign a multi-million dollar deal with Sirius XM last year, Cooper affirmed that she does not regret a thing. Per The Daily Mail, she instead learnt so many things from moments spent having fun on dates and in hotels. "And yes, of course, the caliber I was doing it, people might think of that as aspirational. But we all go through our sh-t," the star noted. How The 30-Year-Old Scaled 'Call Her Daddy' Podcast During The Pandemic Cooper and Franklyn soon broke off their friendship over a deal for the podcast, about two years after they began. At the time, Vogue noted that the duo was raking in about half a million dollars in profits from the show. However, the split turned Cooper's fortune around as she moved back to her parents' home amid the pandemic and coincidentally provided an outlet for a population desperate for connection. She reemerged at a time when podcasts served as a lifeline for millions of people stuck at home due to the heavy restrictions of COVID. Her already impressive fanbase, which had already reached millions before her split from her then-roommate, also began to grow as she ventured into interviewing celebrities. She also found love with a "Mr. Sexy Zoom Man," who is now her husband, Matt Kaplan. Kaplan, a film producer from Los Angeles, reportedly worked together to transform her podcast into a media conglomerate that will see Cooper venture into deeper stories, different from her controversial sex stories. In 2021, she sealed a $60 million three-year deal with Spotify, and three years later, in 2024, her new Unwell Network signed a $125 million three-year deal with Sirius XM. The network housed like-minded young podcasters with eyes and brains for buzzy content. Cooper's Success At Sirius XM Reportedly Lands On Howard Stern's Wrong Nerves The podcaster's multi-million three-year deal with the network proves her show's overwhelming success, and with the look of things, the sky is the limit. As reported by The Blast, Cooper's performance on air and in the market has now angered her colleague, Stern, who stated that her popularity has spelled doom for his show at the network. The tension between the media personalities had gotten so severe that producers have reportedly devised several means to keep them out of each other's way. An insider at the network stated that Stern finds it hard to believe that after ruling the airways for over four decades, his reign could be upturned by a much younger creator within a few years. Sirius XM was beyond excited to bring the podcaster on board, according to the Chief Content Officer at the network, Scott Greenstein. The executive praised Cooper's "fearless, unfiltered approach, where no topic is off the table." He added that her content "has created a passionate and dedicated fanbase that is unmatched in podcasting and perfectly aligns with the content that SiriusXM subscribers have come to love." Inside The Content Creator And Her Husband's Love Story Cooper and Kaplan met over the phone during the pandemic in 2020, and three years later, he asked her to marry him in Los Angeles. The Blast noted that the proposal was done creatively with a fake photoshoot that her publicist and now-husband had set up, as she later discovered. She shared that the plan was to lure her out of her casual clothes and doll her up for an elaborate and romantic scavenger hunt around their house, ending with Kaplan on bended knees. When the podcaster returned home, she discovered that their home had been transformed into a romantic haven with candles and soft music playing all over. Their two dogs made the night memorable, bearing witness to the ceremony as Kaplan stressed that the podcaster makes him a better man and asked her to do him the honor of becoming his wife. "I like, blacked out. I think I said yes at first. It was very surreal," Cooper stated. Alex Cooper Had A Change Of Mind About Marriage During Her Relationship With Matt Kaplan Marriage was initially never part of the plan for the podcaster, as she was content with having kids with Kaplan. However, after seeing how things proceeded with the film producer, she knew she wanted to spend her life with him. "Having that foundation of honesty and trust allowed us to get through things in life that made it so I couldn't envision anyone else by my side," Cooper explained. She praised him for being so supportive of her career, and he would not stop beaming when she informed him over dinner at Giorgio Baldi that he could propose to her whenever he wanted. Cooper kept details of her romance with Kaplan under wraps, refusing to step out in public together until their engagement. Kaplan had also asked not to be interviewed or featured on her "Call Her Daddy" podcast. Alex Cooper's story is nothing short of inspiring! Solve the daily Crossword

Robert Trujillo weighs in on Metallica's potential residency at Las Vegas' Sphere
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo has weighed in following rumours that the heavy metal titans will play a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Talking to Howard Stern of SiriusXM's Trunk Nation, Trujillo, who joined Metallica in 2003, says that he'd welcome the opportunity to perform at the famous audio-visual venue, believing the atmosphere would suit their music and that the shows would mark an unprecedented achievement for a heavy band. 'I'm already thinking like, imagine this, imagine that, imagine, you know, because Metallica's music is so visual,' the bassist says. 'I mean, imagine a song like [1986 instrumental] Orion and what you can do with that, you know what I mean? The possibilities are endless. 'So for me, it's again, like a dream come true. We'll see what happens. I know we're talking about it and hopefully this is gonna happen.' Trujillo goes on to point out, 'No heavy rock band has done this,' referring to performing at The Sphere. He adds: 'There's a lot of history with our music and a lot of, I think there's potential for a lot of visual stimulation on this. And I can't wait to be a part of it. So let's see what happens, yeah.' The Sphere, a concert venue equipped with 4D visual effects, opened in September 2023 and has hosted residences by Phish, Dead & Company and the Eagles. Rumours of Metallica joining that list began to swirl in July, when Viral Vegas reported that the band were ready to 'ink a deal' and host a number of concerts there in the autumn of 2026. Metallica's drummer and co-founder, Lars Ulrich, addressed the rumours when he appeared on Trunk Nation last week. He said he could neither confirm nor deny the reports, but revealed (via NME), 'All of our managers and our production people have been there and looked at it.' He added: 'It's something that we're considering, [but] nothing is etched in stone or green-lit. It's something that we're looking at at some point when the 2026 tour is done.' Metallica have plenty to keep them busy between now and the start of their supposed Vegas residency. On August 28, they'll play one of their smallest-ever shows at the 250-capacity Stephen Talkhouse venue in Long Island, New York. The concert celebrates the launch of the band's own SiriusXM channel, Maximum Metallica, and will be broadcast on the channel on September 1. In November and December, the band will perform in Australia, New Zealand and Asia. They're also booked to play a European tour that kicks off in May. Select dates on the run will see the return of the 'M72 weekend format', where the band play the same venue twice with different setlists and support acts. Gojira, Knocked Loose, Pantera and Avatar will act as support. Solve the daily Crossword
