Larsa Pippen says she does not remember flashing the camera during a two-day girls trip on The Real Housewives of Miami, attributing the moment to tequila. The moment occurred as part of Season 7’s cruise hosted by Marysol Patton, during a FaceTime session from Pippen’s cabin that she says was driven by seasickness and booze.
The remark came as Pippen spoke with Decider in a Zoom interview about the season’s dynamics, including the ongoing tensions with Lisa Hochstein and the evolving bond with Hochstein’s former ally-turned-confidante on the cast. She said the boat trip offered a rare chance for the group to loosen up, and she noted that the moment in question was not something she remembers clearly but that it was “just the girls” having fun. The cruise, she added, became a turning point of sorts for some relationships, including the on-camera reconciliation with Hochstein after a season of back-and-forth.
Asked about the broader arc of the season, Pippen said she feels she has moved from a difficult post-breakup period into a more stable place. She described herself as normally strong and self-assured, but acknowledged she leaned on friends during a period of vulnerability after becoming single. “I’m in a really good place right now,” she said, adding that she and her boyfriend, Jeff Coby, are happy and supportive of each other’s lives, even if he isn’t sure how much he will appear on future episodes.
She addressed questions about the season’s recurring drama, including a contentious exchange with Hochstein’s boyfriend or ex-boyfriends. Pippen contested the idea that she targeted Russell in past seasons while avoiding Jody’s communications, saying that a text from Russell had prompted much of the tension and that she was frustrated by the ongoing dynamic of her friends’ partners getting involved. She emphasized that the men should stay out of the Housewives circle and that she believes a balance of respect is essential in any friendship.
The interviews touched on why the paparazzi comment from Hochstein hurt. Pippen said the accusation felt like a lie, and she insisted that she would never mock or degrade someone she had spent time with. She also argued that she has worked hard to reach her current position and would not tolerate disrespect from others, explaining that her reactions at times come from a place of self-respect rather than malice.
Throughout Season 7, Pippen has found herself playing referee among close friends, including Stephanie, Marysol, and Alexia. She described the group’s dynamics as intense, with each side trying to make a point, and she tried to bridge gaps without taking sides too heavily. When asked about tensions between Stephanie and Marysol, she suggested that Marysol often voices concerns with Alexia translating ideas for the broader friend group, a pattern she has observed and navigated during late-night chats and public forums alike.
Pippen warned fans that the reunion would be a focal point for explanations about the season’s behind-the-scenes moments. She teased a “bombshell” that she said would come from her side of the room and claimed that it was a revelation she did not anticipate. She described the reunion as “crazy” and said it would offer insight into the season’s broader arc, potentially reshaping how viewers view the conflicts that unfolded on and off the boat.
Fans may also notice Pippen’s stance on her public image growing firmer. She acknowledged that social media discourse around appearance and personal life can be invasive, but she said she is learning to respond with a mix of patience and honesty. She added that she might explore other reality formats in the future, including Dancing with the Stars, where she would enjoy showcasing her dancing skills and cultural versatility.
In other notes from the interview, Pippen touched on the broader Real Housewives ecosystem, including talk about cross-franchise interactions at BravoCon and the fashion-forward energy fans have come to expect from Miami and other cities. She commended Stephanie for joining the cast and growing into role, while acknowledging that the dynamics with Alexia and Marysol can be particularly challenging due to their strong personalities.
The Real Housewives of Miami airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo, with new episodes streaming the next day on Peacock. As the season unfolds toward the reunion, Pippen’s reflections on friendship, forgiveness, and public scrutiny offer a window into how a high-profile cast member manages both personal growth and public expectation in a crowded reality TV landscape.
