During a recent podcast appearance, Lea Black made a surprising claim about her former co-star, Marysol Patton, suggesting that Patton once attempted to cast a spell on her in hopes of getting her ousted from The Real Housewives of Miami.

In addition to discussing the alleged hex, Black, 69, shared her opinions on several other cast members. She criticized Julia Lemigova’s relationship with a Haitian mortician and accused Alexia Nepola, 58, of being “two-faced” and “conniving.” Black further criticized Nepola for using her late ex-husband, Herman Echevarria, as a storyline on the show. The revelation about Patton’s supposed hex came from former cast member Cristy Rice, 54, according to Black.

Recalling a conversation with Rice at the opening of the SLS Hotel, Black recounted on the October 21 episode of Watch What Crappens, “Cristy told me, ‘My mother goes to this reader, and she saw your picture and the drag queen’s picture. The reader said Marysol asked for a hex to be put on you to get you off the show.'” This revelation left Black baffled, as she had never considered the possibility of someone actually trying to use a hex in such a manner.

“I was at the opening of the SLS Hotel and I run into Cristy Rice,” Lea recalled on the October 21 episode of Watch What Crappens. “She told me, she said, ‘My mother goes to this reader and this reader had your picture and the drag queen’s picture there and said that, you know, Marysol had asked them to put a hex on you to get you off the show.’”

According to Lea, she couldn’t wrap her head around the idea of a hex and didn’t even know there were people out there who did such a thing.

“I just rolled my eyes, like, ‘Okay. Good luck with that,’” she shared.

As for the drama surrounding Julia, 53, and the Haitian mortician, Lea laughed.

“That is so Miami. That is just so Miami,” she noted.

At another moment of the podcast, Lea was asked about her relationship with Alexia.

“I always said she had two faces,” Lea shared. “[And] for me, the final straw with her, in addition to the conniving and the lying and the backstabbing and the rest of that that she does with her sidekick over there, was when they outed Herman.”

“There’s no going back from that,” she continued. “You don’t do that to somebody that supported you and your two kids because your husband was in jail, and then they’re six feet under and can’t defend themselves, and you use it as a storyline.”

While the hosts noted that Alexia became a “hero” of sorts with the audience at that time, Lea slammed the idea as “bullsh*t” as she alluded to the idea that Alexia was no ally of the gay community. 

“I was at every event they ever had. I hosted half of them. I did the parade. I did it all. And all those years, I never saw her at one thing. Ever. She was never at one thing,” Lea revealed. 

As for her portrayal as a supporter, Lea suggested it was all for show.

“When she outed Herman, they had to paint her as a friend to the gay community, or it would’ve made it look like who she is — somebody that outed a gay husband that she knew was gay all along,” she concluded.
