Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton don’t like Melissa Gorgas’ loose lips.
While speaking to Page Six exclusively at BravoCon Saturday, the “Real Housewives of Miami” stars responded to Teresa Giudice’s claim that Gorga was behind rumors that her husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, tried romancing Nepola before they got together.
“Well, I don’t like that Melissa started the rumor because this is coming from Melissa, but people should know because they’re, like, in a bad place,” Nepola told us.
Meanwhile, Patton, 56, dissed Gorga by venting about how “dreadful” people can be with their gossip.
Nepola also revealed her solution to end the rumor once and for all.
“I actually was going to suggest to Teresa and Melissa [Pfeister], they have their podcast, that we should do a podcast together. And I’m going to finally clear it with Louie and with Teresa,” she stated.
Giudice, 51, confidently told Page Six at BravoCon on Saturday that her estranged sister-in-law, 44, was 100 percent “the one that started” the dating rumors.
Nepola, also 56, also made sure to explain to us what actually went down between her and Ruelas, 48, explaining they simply bonded over the fact that both their children have been diagnosed with autism.
“He was going through the same journey that I’m going through with my son and he can relate to it,” she reasoned.
“So he was just like, reaching out, being like, a nice person like a lot of our fans do, right? And saying like, ‘I watch you on TV. Like, you’re so inspiring. I have a son that’s autistic,’” Nepola added.
“That’s what it was. But you know how it is. They turn it into something else.”
When Alexia and Ruelas met, she was already with her husband, Todd Nepola, whom she married in 2021.

Ruelas and Giudice met in 2020 and Page Six confirmed their romance in November of that year.
They walked down the aisle in August 2022 — shortly after Giudice’s relationship with Gorga hit a boiling point.
Alexia said regardless of what people think about her past with Ruelas, everything happened how it should.
“I think that things happen for a reason and there’s a purpose. So whatever may be, it was for [Giudice and Ruelas] to meet each other, for them to be together,” the “Ay Por Favor” podcast co-host told Page Six.
“She was supposed to be with him and he was supposed to be with her, not me.”
