US EditionEx-Husband of Real Housewives of Miami Star Sues Bravo, Production Company
Todd Nepola alleges Bravo and NBCUniversal fabricated false financial struggles to boost his ex-wife’s storyline, seeking $11 million in damages for defamation and unauthorized use of his likeness.
- On Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2025, Todd Nepola filed a defamation lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida seeking $11 million from Bravo Media, NBCUniversal Media and Purveyors of Pop Productions.
- Alleging producers manufactured drama, the suit says Seasons 6 and 7 of The Real Housewives of Miami exaggerated Todd Nepola’s financial struggles to boost Alexia Nepola’s storyline, while show producers and network editors carefully construct storylines to create dramatic impact.
- Despite the portrayals, Todd Nepola says he bought over $115 million in real estate while filming, including a $24 million shopping center, and claims a net worth exceeding $100 million.
- Nepola is asking the court for injunctive relief to block further use or rebroadcast and has requested a jury trial, alleging ongoing harm in the Miami business community.
- The complaint frames the case as part of a broader pattern of exploitative reality television industry practices and cites an editor’s explanation of feeding `counterfeit drama` to boost network profit and editing practices.
