Alexia Echevarria

Alexia's Greatest Joy and Sadness

Alexia opens up about the difficult year she's had.

Jan 4

I am beyond excited for 2013! Happy New Year! May 2013 be filled with lots of peace, joy, and love and may all your wishes come true! Besides the hardships and trials and tribulations in 2012, I am grateful for all the blessings I have received. I rejoice in the miracle of Frankie's recovery and progress and thank God for this every minute of my day.

As you saw, I did not participate in the first part of the reunion, and I'm not going to lie, one part of me was very glad and the other part of me wished I would have. I don't know... I don't even know how I would have reacted or what I would have said. You know, I watch it now and say I would have done this and said that, but you really don't know until you are actually sitting there on that couch how you will react to someone else's comments. It was very difficult for me to watch from the dressing room where I was getting my hair and makeup done. “Wow” is all I can say and will say. Why speak about it now? Some things will never change and some people will never change!

As far as part two of the reunion goes, I will say that as usual when speaking about my children, I get emotional and cry, especially having to relive Frankie's accident on August 14, 2012 the worst day of my life! My children have always made me cry, out sadness and from happiness. My children have given me the biggest joys in my life and at the same time have brought me the most sadness. Those of you who are mothers can probably understand me. Fortunately, one year later Frankie, Peter, Herman (who by the way was one of the reasons I was able to get through all of this), and I are all in a better place. That is the beauty of life and of my life in particular. I didn't know how strong I really was or am for that matter until being strong was the only choice I had. My children are my life, and I will never give up on them; that is the message I want to send. Even though you didn't get to see this part of my life on the show this season, I promise you that that's what I have been doing all of my life. My children have always come first before my career, before my relationship, and I have to thank Herman for being so understanding and supporting me on this and our boys. I say "our boys" because he has raised them with me and I couldn't have asked for a better husband and father to Peter and Frankie.

I think you need to go to therapy and stop being on the show until you recover from some of the trauma you experienced! The way you spoke to karent was so unfair, and just nasty. Everytime youre being shot on the show all you talk about is who and how many ppl you know, Or your ripping karent to shreds instead of taking the time to get to know her. All she wants is a family and she's in love with a bastard like the poor girl, give her a break.

Bravo1952 64 pts

You are mean. Talking to Karent privately would have been acceptable; your timing and intent was vicious.The vacation was sabotaged by your NEED for attention. Shame on you". Is this how you raise your children? Q

Alexa, Karent thought she was Rodolfo's girlfriend becsuse he was playing her! In fact, she was the only one that didn't know they weren't a real couple. She didn't know he was telling people he was single! Instead of continuously attacking her, you should be there and help her get over this fool. Didn't you EVER think about being what was actually going on? This happens all the time to girls! You know this. I know you do! You just like to hate. You're a huge bitch!

BettyBoob 127 pts

What evidence?  What are you talking about? If Karent and Rodolfo were or were  not in a relationship, it's not your freaking business.  From day one you went after Karent,  you said something to the effect that she had to "know her place", I am just not understanding all the hatred.  I liked you on season 1.

 

This time around I expected that you would be softer and kinder given what happened within your own family.  But no,  if I had been Karent  (and I am not necessarily a fan of Karent) I would have bitten your finger everytime you stuck it in my face.

 

You turned out to be very mean spirited.  And that makes me very sad.

fargy 1271 pts

You are my least favorite person in any of the housewives shows.  You truly are mean spirited and an incredibly jealous person.  

MissMiamiHeat 325 pts

 

Alexia, I am really sorry that you have had such a rough year with your two sons, but girl, you need to stay your behind home with your two boys instead of galavanting in Bimini and worrying about someone else's relationship. You've got more important issues to deal with than stirring up trouble and blogging about Karent and Rodolfo. 

 

I do wish your son a speedy recovery and I hope his brother stays out of trouble, too. You need to be with them, not on this show.

 

...besides, I can really use a break from your meddling drama. I really didn't miss seeing less of you this season. The show managed to do just fine without you. Perhaps Bravo can save a little money and give you a permanent hiatus.

 

It should REALLY make you think long and hard, that despite all the sympathy the viewers have for you and your two son's unfortunate circumstances, somehow your nasty attitude has managed to overshadow all that sympathy. Think about that.

I think it's pretty hypocritical for you to call Joanna and Karent "distasteful and ridiculous" and accuse them of having "empty and miserable" lives because of the rumor that they repeated about your husband, and then in the same blog defend yourself and your right to your own opinion for spreading the rumor about Karent and Rodolpho's relationship being fake. You have no way of knowing what Karent did or did not know. Doesn't it seem possible that Rodolpho seduced her because he wanted the TV exposure for his own career? To me, it seemed like Karent was head over heels for him, and I can only imagine how painful it was for her to have to accept the news that he had been lying to her in front of TV cameras the day before her father went into the hospital. That was really mean of you to do. I hope that you're able to behave with more empathy if you come back next season.

Agree! And Alexia, if you say knew you Karent was only with Rodolfo for publicity, then why is it on the show you arrived in Bimini with the article and rounded up the women in the bathroom saying that you just found this article on rodolfo and you don't know if you should show Karent; and that out of concern for her you felt she should know; and that, that was the reason you went to Lisa so she could break the news to Karent, because you thought she should "hear it from a friend?" So you mean to tell me you were acting on that episode? Isn't this supposed to be a reality show? If you knew she was only with Rodolfo for publicity why didn't you say, "Karent, since you claim Rodolfo is your boyfriend, why is here in this article kissing another woman?"

 

Alexia is a liar. Plain and simple. She can't even keep her stories straight.

 

NicoleHarris155 412 pts

Its not Karent's job to sit around waiting to call and text you dozens of times. She reached out to you about your son, and you ackowledged that. If you arent even close friends, what the hell else does she need to do?! Im not understanding how she has offended you. You owe her so many apologies that your not even worth her forgiveness.

Ceci2468 560 pts

I like you. I find you to be honest and sincere. I'm not getting that "fake" vibe from you like with Lea and Karent. And Joanna is as you say, beautiful on the outside but ugly on the inside.

real1housewife 223 pts

glad to hear your son is o.k. with that said you were a bit of a trouble maker this season was it because you thought karent was replacing you on the show? you also came across as a know it all and bit of a bully. get a grip.

 real1housewife I agree with u!!!

 

organiclady 44 pts

What beautiful comments?  Every comment is negative.  Pointing out your many character flaws; like talking over others, bullying, and trying to hurt others in a group setting.  I hope you take a good long look at yourself  this season and see what EVERYONE else sees and try to become a better person.

Your outfit (or lack of) left me speechelss at the reunion. it was kind of hard to buy your tears when your boobs were on full display.

Are you kidding? Not all women want to be a wife and mother. Do not speak for all of us. Some of us do not live in the 1950's. I still don't know why you care so much about Karent's relationship and whether it was real or for the show? Don't you have enough on your plate to keep you busy with your son? That you have to butt into other peoples lives?

BettyBoob 127 pts

Thank you, thank you.  Not every woman wants to be a wife and mother is right.  Alexia is out of touch with reality and simply hating Karent for no reason at all.

TristateFan 286 pts

Beauty says what beauty does and my dear you are a trouble maker.  This season you continued to create issues and invite yourself into issues that was non of yoru business, you walked around like you had it like that.  This season you were one unhappy woman and it showed.  A woman on a mission to make people who you really did not care about miserable.  You think you could boss, instruct one when to speak are you kidding me! There's much more I can say but I will leave it alone. 

MegLemon17 49 pts

So you say in your blog you don't need to defend yourself with ugly words, yet the next couple sentences completely contradict your own words.  I completely empathize with you regarding your son and I cannot imagine what your son and your family went through.  I am so genuinely glad to hear you are all in a better place and I wish nothing but continued success to your son.  However, I find you to be ugly on the inside at times- you go on in your blog above about how Joanna (who I find to be entertaining and lovely- everyone makes mistakes and she admitted hers) and Karent brag about their success, etc. and then you tear them down, saying they aren't successful.  You say they aren't beautiful on the inside.  So those aren't ugly words?    

 

Regarding Karent's relationship, stay out of it!  It's none of your business.  You've made it perfectly clear she isn't your friend, so I don't really believe there are innocent, friendly motives behind what you and the others did in Bimini.  

 

Good luck- you were such a lovely person to watch in season 1 and the glimpses of a mean-spirited Alexis are probably not reflective of the person you truly are.  I hope we get to see the nice, fun-loving, accepting Alexis again! 

MissMiamiHeat 325 pts

 MegLemon17 Yeah, I didn't understand Alexia's comment about Karent and Joanna not being successful. Karent graduated from medical dental school, owns her own practice and can obviously afford the mortgage on her beautiful home...even without a husband. As for Joanna, she is a successful model and I'm sure she has made a lot of money in her own right, none of which has anything to do with Romain!

nellie6 152 pts

I know! Karent and Joanna seem pretty successful and happy to me too!

aliceandwonderland@626 310 pts

What's funny is that she thinks all the posters calling her out  are haters and stealing her joy, lol. 

joyfaye 498 pts

No one can steal what you don't have.  Based on her actions, there's not an ounce of joy in her entire body.  She even bragged on the fact she doesn't smile when she doesn't want to.

prbronze103 455 pts

It is always about you and you don't let others speak and express their opinions. You are a mean girl! Please, there are others who tell you the same thing because we see it. Please look in the mirror - past the physical aspect - and make changes because it seems you talk so much but your actions truly show an ugly side of you.

MissMiamiHeat 325 pts

prbronze103

I know, right? Alexia NEVER shuts up! I bet Alexia is probably foaming at the mouth and having the most difficult time having to read these posts and not be able to shout at us and tell us to shut up so she can scream over us! Lol. She's probably reading this and screaming at her computer right at this very second.

 

Alexia, "You said everything you wanted to say, now it's OUR turn, so now you are gonna shut up. And you have to shut up 'cause now WE are gonna speak up, too!" (in your own words)

 

LMAO. It's not so nice when the shoe is on the other foot, now is it?

I think both you and Anna showed strength and vulnerability and I for one applaud you for it.

Piako 46 pts

@henrytluv42 yup, they showed their strength alright. Strength on insults and vulnerability when they get called off on their mistakes. If these are the people you applauded, no need to get a good look at your perspective.

I can't wait to see you and Ana next season! You guys are what Miami is all about. Beautiful hardworking independent women and moms. You are an inspiration!

MissMiamiHeat 325 pts

 gpermesa Miami is hardly about hardworking independent women and moms. This is the land of the pampered plastic housewife with too much money and too much time on her hands! I think all the hardworking women are in Virginia. =) 

myguiltypleasure 144 pts

Alexia, please 'hear' what everyone is saying about your anger/hatred.  Recognize it and own it.  You talk about gratitude and behave very ungraciously.   Your sons show more courage than you do.  They have accepted their indivudual challanges and are working to overcome and rise above them.    Maybe Mama Elsa can help you find real spirituality and gratitude; she's awesome.

DixieDarling 7490 pts

I was THRILLED to hear you telling your sons progress at the reunion! Thousands of prayers have been said and continue to be said for him I know. Hoping the New Year brings joy and good health to everyone! My goal this year is to live every day as if it was my last. And to take time everyday to notice the marvelous wonder of my world. I followed my grandchild's gaze when he noticed the leaves blowing in the breeze the other day. It was like seeing them again for the 1st time. So much wonder that I didn't even see. To my fellow posters/fans. I enjoy sharing opinions with you all and look forward to more times. Happy New Year!

When you are describing Joanna and Karent, it is describing you exactly:

Your life is empty and miserable, beautiful outside ugly inside at least Joanna and Karent have a carrier and not marry a rich man like you did.

Itsmeab38 209 pts

I am so sorry for what you've been through....but you don't give anyone a chance to speak before you rip into them. They have no chance to rebut and no chance to talk. You treated Karrent horribly. It really showed little class on your part. I'm afraid it made a beautiful woman come across very ugly.

housewifefanforever 1757 pts

You seem like an angry, bitter woman.  Please seek counseling.

BettyBoob 127 pts

Well put.  I doubt sincerely that Alexia will read any of these comments.  Alexia stated on her blog that she has nothing to clarify (or basically apologize) for.

 

Alexia thinks she is above it all.  Sad but true.

This season was so much better because you didn't appear on all episodes. Bravo if it is possible get rid of her once and for all.

nellie6 152 pts

 JessicafromTexas Well, I wouldnt go that far, cause even though ALexia was mean spirited, jealous and all that stuff she was entertaining to watch thats for sure. I for one was very entertained.

Alexia I'm new to watching the show, so far I really like you, wish to see you as a full time cast member. Don't listen to all these negative opinions, continue to speak up the way you always do. I truly admire you. I'm glad that your son is doing well. Xox

sensiblemom 90 pts

Alexia you and Adrianna are garbage to put it nicely.  It is so obvious that you married your husband for money. Why do you care about the relationship between Karent and Rudolfo ? Do you really want people in your relationship? I am sure if people really got involved in your relationship you would really be worried.

You were given a miracle by your son surviving his accident that instead of being grateful and living your life being appreciative you behave the opposite.  If you waste the miracles you recieve it allows darkness to grow and overcome you.

Eca 1484 pts

Joanna said that those were rumors - you know rumors have not been proven to be true, but your defensiveness, anger and constant repeating and evoking of the matter make the whole thing very suspicious.

pinkybutterfly27 15 pts

 Eca Their has always been rumors about her so call husband before she married him :) The rumors will be proven one day. Be careful what you say and do Alexia...you also have skeletons in your closet...

Kittykatlover 40 pts

Wow! Remember last season when she referred to the readers of her husbands magazine As "lower people"? Alexia is full of anger and really thinks she is above others. She looks haggard and bitter to me.

pinkybutterfly27 15 pts

 Kittykatlover You mean the city of Hialeah as lower /class people, well guess what? She use to live in the city of Hialeah, Florida and both her sons were born in a hospital in the city of lower/class people..."Hialeah"
