Todd Nepola Files $11M Suit Against Bravo, NBCU

Todd Nepola filed an $11 million defamation suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Bravo Media, NBCUniversal and production company Purveyors of Pop, alleging they manufactured and amplified false storylines about his finances during Seasons 6 and 7. The complaint accuses producers of reusing footage without his consent and names castmate Adriana de Moura as having spread on-air rumors that depicted Nepola as facing financial distress, which he says are untrue and harmed his reputation in the Miami business community. Nepola asserts his net worth exceeds $100 million and points to continued real estate purchases as evidence he never experienced financial trouble. He is seeking $10 million for defamation, $1 million for unauthorized use of his name and likeness, and injunctive relief to prevent further misuse or rebroadcast of his image. The suit notes his split from Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Nepola — they married in December 2021, she filed for divorce in April 2024, and the divorce was finalized in March 2025 — and alleges producers prioritized “counterfeit drama” over the truth; network spokespeople have not publicly responded to requests for comment.
