Is Julia's Drink Throw On Guerdy The Worst In Bravo History?

Bravo wasn’t exaggerating when it titled episode 3 of The Real Housewives of Miami’s seventh season “Worst Wedding Ever,” but it wasn’t because of Marysol or Steve on their millionth wedding day. Miami’s free-spirited foreign farmer, Julia Lemigova, firmly ditched the peace and love during an uncomfortable argument with Guerdy that turned into an all-out altercation thanks to Julia going “to the dark side,” as her once best friend Adriana put it. Right around the time Julia distanced herself from Adriana to be buddy-buddy with Miami’s center mojito, Alexia, a shift in her demeanor has seemed to follow. I don’t know who told Julia rent was due, but after revisiting Bravo’s lengthy history of drink tosses, Julia’s drink throw in Guerdy’s face was not the way to step up her Housewives game!

Julia And Guerdy’s RHOM Drama

Why did Julia throw a drink on Guerdy?

Julia and Guerdy were sparring over a cruise they took together (yet another reason to never go on one, thanks), and Julia decided to make their face-off physical by making “the water [spill] all over the place,” as she politely put it to her music coach. More accurately, Julia couldn’t take Guerdy uttering the words “be quiet,” so Julia shut her up with an entire glass of water. The pair had been on the rocks since Guerdy couldn’t figure out how to get on Julia’s Zoom link (v boomer-coded), and instead of telling Guerdy the super exciting adoption news over text, Julia told Guerdy she’d have to wait to read it online.

The question remains why the argument had to get so heated. Julia was yelling from the moment Guerdy asked her if she wanted to speak in front of the group, and Guerdy calling out that Julia sounded like a “hyena” only made things worse. When Guerdy finally got a moment to explain her side — AKA how she felt she was a supportive friend to Julia by rejoining the cruise she’d just left to attend with Julia — since Martina had a “health scare.” Instead of letting Guerdy speak, Julia yelled over her “friend,” called her a liar, and then let the drink do the rest of the talking.

Fans Are Reacting Negatively To Julia’s Behavior On RHOM

On a network where throwing drinks (tables even) is par for the course, Julia’s hydrating confrontation felt less like splashy drama and more like a la carte humiliation that Guerdy def didn’t select on her wedding RSVP. Not only was Guerdy not matching Julia’s in-your-face energy, but it felt extra yucky to watch Julia scream a drenched Guerdy into a corner about Martina’s “cancer situation,” knowing that Guerdy is coming out of the cancer fight of her life herself. All this fury over dinner with Captain Sandy? Julia, I need you to head to that beautiful backyard of yours to touch grass.

Guerdy said the moment felt like it was a sorority hazing, which fans could feel through the screen since Kiki had already shared that everyone was complaining Guerdy was “too much” behind her back. Yes, Guerdy has a big personality. That’s why she fits right in on a cast with Alexia (the “Cuban Barbie” who’s banging the guy she’s divorcing), Larsa Pippen and Lisa Hochstein (best friends in a blood feud over Instagram), Adriana (who penned an anonymous letter from Marysol’s liver), Marysol (who could barely see the incident due to a decorative EYE PATCH she wore to her wedding) and Julia (who randomly picked up opera singing to do live performance for her wife on their anniversary). So why is Guerdy’s version of extra so unpalatable? I’m waiting.

Bravo Drink Throws: Most Memorable In Bravo History

Best: Teresa Giudice vs. Danielle Staub


A moment of appreciation for my world history, please. No, calling someone a Prostitution Whore isn’t anyone’s finest moment, but the diabolical feud between Teresa and Danielle would soon show they both were equally balanced valiant competitors who knew how to dish it (even if they were both horrible at taking it). And honestly, an undercover cop writing a book to prove that you were fucking engaged 19 times is confusing!

Worst: Teresa Giudice vs. Joey Gorga

Now this one was not funny or dramatic (it was like, a drop of water), so what was even the point? It’s extra unfun to watch now since we all know it was only going downhill for this family from here. Sad!

Best: Sheree Whitfield vs. Her Ex Bob

Ahh, who could forget when Sheree’s ex refused to pay her child support, so Sheree stood on business and threatened to press charges. But Bob tried to flip the script, calling her angry for making sure he took care of HIS kids. Yep, a little sprinkle sprinkle from Joggers when Bob is a six-foot-tall man def didn’t hurt anybody.

Worst: Tom Schwartz vs. Katie Maloney

These two people got married. Let that sink in! Dousing Katie’s already questionable hairstyle was truly adding insult to injury, especially when Schwartz had already called his girlfriend a bitch and a bully and reminded her this was “not about her” or her feelings that she was trying to communicate with him.

Best: Tamra vs. Gina Keough

“I thought this was a classy party” will always be funny. Yes, this was a particularly powerful drink toss (with big stain potential, no less), but moments before, Gina had just implied the abuse Tamra alleged she was suffering from her husband was actually made up for attention. Sooo, Gina couldn’t be totally surprised, right? Plus Gina’s sidekick got his own retaliatory toss in, too, so I call it even.

Worst: Ramona Singer vs. Kristen Taekman

TBF, Kristen was not entitled to get Ramona and her blow-dry wet. Still, while Ramona’s first splash back was fine, throwing the glass itself was a complete overreaction and could’ve really hurt her castmate more than a lip cut. It did give us the treasure, “I’m a nurse, don’t forget!” from Luann, however.

Worst: Brandi Glanville vs. Eileen

@andy.cohens.busssy I laugh everytime I see this #rhobh #realhousewives #realhousewivesoftiktok #bravotv #brandiglanville #eileendavidson #lisarinna ♬ original sound – andy.cohens.busssy

It wasn’t ever cool to come for Eileen, who was pretty much a round-the-clock sweetheart to everyone all the time! But Brandi’s out-of-left-field attack was v uncalled for because she was only doing it to get back at Eileen for refusing to perform soap opera lines for her. Try drinking the wine to be entertained, girl.

Best: Kim Richards vs. Lisa Rinna

I categorized this as best because Kim Richards ate DOWN, okay, and it’s one of the best moments in Housewives history, with too many one-liners to count. Lisa, on the other hand, took the moment too far by shattering a glass, all because Kim talked about the husband.

Worst: Lisa Barlow vs. Whitney

Lisa is a walking moment herself, so she didn’t really need to force one with an awkward drink throw at Whitney Wild Rose in the middle of dinner, know what I mean?

Best: Aviva Drescher vs. Everyone

Yes, this one was actually a prosthetic leg and not a drink, but it’s probably one of the funniest (and ultimately most harmless) tosses to be captured on camera. “It’s weird,” is right, Cool Carole.

Worst: Jen Shah vs. Angie

@realityclipreplay This was crazy #realhousewives #rhoslc #bravo #jenshah #angiekatsanevas ♬ APT. – ROSÉ & Bruno Mars

Jen dumping her champagne when she and Angie weren’t even in an argument was a textbook case of dropping trying to humble someone, not uncontrollable emotions. And wasting Dom Perignon? Mary Cosby would never!

All Around Mess: Mia vs. Dr. Wendy

I’m mad at everyone involved because this discourse was exhausting! I think we can all agree that Mia was not the model CEO, and Dr. Wendy has a habit of throwing her degrees, if not drinks, in people’s faces.
