Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Nepola’s ex-husband, Todd Nepola, is suing Bravo and NBCUniversal, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
In the lawsuit, Todd specifically alleges defamation and unauthorized use of his name and likeness in connection with recent seasons of the show.
### Todd Nepola Alleges Lies About His Finances Were Told
In the filing, Todd states the network told lies about his finances for storylines during Seasons 6 and 7 of *Real Housewives of Miami*, using “manipulated storylines and unauthorized footage.”
Todd claims he is worth $100 million and insists he never bounced a check, missed a payment, or had any financial trouble. However, the show allegedly portrayed him as struggling financially to make Alexia’s storyline more “juicy” for viewers.
### Multiple ‘RHOM’ Episodes Are Called Into Question in Todd Nepola’s Lawsuit
The legal filing calls into question multiple episodes, including one where cast member Adriana de Moura allegedly spread false claims about Todd.
Specifically, Todd referenced allegations suggesting his business was failing and claims that he might have to break his lease and downgrade his apartment.
Todd’s lawyer, Scott J. Weiselberg of Kopelowitz Ostrow Ferguson Weiselberg Gilbert, insists these claims were fabricated and that Bravo knowingly presented misleading information.
During filming, Todd’s side claims he purchased more than $115 million in real estate, all financed legitimately through bank loans.
### Todd ‘Wanted to Be Alexia’s Husband, Not Her Storyline’
The complaint also states that Bravo and NBCUniversal used Todd’s “image and personal storyline without consent.”
“Mr. Nepola wanted to be Alexia’s husband, not her storyline,” the filing notes. “Enough is enough.”
Todd is seeking $10 million in damages for defamation and $1 million for unauthorized use of his name and likeness. Additionally, he requests injunctive relief to prevent further misuse or rebroadcast of his image.
### The Demise of Alexia and Todd’s Relationship
After marrying in December 2021, their marriage fell apart when Todd filed for divorce in April 2024. Alexia was reportedly blindsided by the filing, calling it “shocking and heartbreaking.”
“I will take comfort in the fact that my friends and family will be by my side, supporting me during this difficult time. I’m praying for better times ahead,” she said at the time.
In March 2025, it was confirmed that Alexia and Todd had finalized their divorce.
“After thoughtful reflection, Todd and I have reached an amicable divorce settlement,” Alexia said in a statement. “While our marriage has legally ended, our relationship has not.”
“We continue to love and support each other as we navigate this next chapter,” she added. “We appreciate the understanding, love, and support from our family, friends, and fans.”
