Julia Lemigova believes Marcus Jordan targeted the majority of the “Real Housewives of Miami” cast backstage at the Season 6 reunion.
“We’ve heard that he came for all the women in general, all of us women,” the Bravolebrity exclusively tells Pvnew, adding that she and her co-stars heard “what he said was nasty, condescending, diminishing and shocking.”
Lemigova, 51, continues, “We’re waiting to see if it’s part of the reunion.”
Last week, multiple sources claimed to Pvnew that the 33-year-old son of Michael Jordan — who is dating “RHOM” OG Larsa Pippen — shared heated opinions about the other ladies during an alleged backstage outburst when the reunion taped in January.

“The women did not hear what Marcus said backstage, and didn’t even know about the incident until after the reunion taped,” one insider told us. “But it was captured, and the ladies have been made aware of it.”
Another source claimed that what Marcus said is “so bad” that it would “change the cast’s opinion” of him should it ever get out.
Marcus has yet to respond to Pvnew’s repeated requests for comment.
It remains unclear if his purported blowup will make it to air when the Season 6 reunion begins airing next week.
Lemigova — who first spoke about the alleged incident with fellow “Real Housewives” personality Dorinda Medley on the Feb. 14 broadcast of SiriusXM’s “Reality Checked” — tells us that her opinion of Marcus has already devolved.
“I always thought that Marcus was such a sweet guy and everybody was saying he was such a nice guy and such a kind man. Every time we said hello to each other before, he appeared to be a very nice, kind man,” the former Miss USSR explains.
“And then I heard he said these things unkind about us, and so I don’t think of him that way anymore.”
The reunion was filmed about a month before Marcus and the Larsa Marie jewelry designer, 49, briefly pressed pause on their headline-making relationship.
The duo’s pursuit of a romance has raised eyebrows because of the enduring rivalry between his father and her ex-husband, Scottie Pippen.
Lemigova, for her part, was among the first of the “RHOM” ladies to ask Larsa how Marcus’ NBA legend dad felt about them dating, as seen in scenes filmed last summer. Shortly after, Michael, 60, denounced the relationship when paparazzi pressed him about the situation during a trip to Paris in July 2023.
“The history between Michael and Scottie made things complicated, even if Larsa and Marcus did their best to make it a non-issue,” an insider previously told Pvnew.
However, another source insisted that family matters never played a part in any relationship troubles.
The couple — who went Instagram-official in January 2023 — ignited breakup rumors earlier this month after scrubbing each other from their respective social media accounts and unfollowing each other. Pvnew confirmed on Feb. 12 that Larsa and Marcus split, though they reconciled just days later during a Miami Valentine’s Day date.
Lemigova previously told Pvnew’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast that Larsa and Marcus seemed “solid” during the reunion taping.
A preview seems to confirm that he was certainly in her corner. “Don’t hate on our love,” Marcus says backstage as his relationship with Larsa is discussed with host Andy Cohen and the rest of the cast.
Lemigova says she and Larsa are “not on speaking terms” after the reunion — and predicts they won’t be for a while when also considering Marcus’ alleged effusions.
“I give people a lot of chances. But when something big happens or you hear that something big happens, it really can change your perspective of the person itself and I don’t need to be around them,” she says.
“I am not thinking of Larsa or Marcus anymore. They’re not part of my life. They never were really. We are not friends, and I feel like our feelings toward each other are pretty mutual.”
Part one of the “Real Housewives of Miami” reunion begins Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. Reunion parts two and three will shift to a special time on Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.
