Julia Lemigova calls out “Nippo Baby” Marcus Jordan.
The 51-year-old “Real Housewives of Miami” star fired back at Michael Jordan’s 33-year-old son after he made pointed remarks about the cast backstage at the Season 6 reunion.
“Since leaving a communist country with no money to my name, I’ve had to work hard for everything I’ve achieved,” the Russian told Page Six exclusively.
“I will not be belittled or belittled by a nippo baby,” she continued, “who is using our platform to make a career for himself.”
After going public with his romance with “RHOM” OG Larsa Pippen in January 2023, Marcus filmed extensively for Bravo Florida’s latest installment of their flagship series.
exist Preview of the upcoming three-part reunion The show, which began airing this week, featured him lambasting most of the cast in a discussion with Pippen, 49, and host Andy Cohen.
“He was like, ‘My dad’s name keeps getting mentioned,'” Pippen told Cohen, 55, with Marcus standing by her side. “No one asks about other people’s parents or anything like that…”
Cohen then reminded Larsa Marie jewelry designer that no one’s parents were NBA legends like Marcus’ father.
“tell him. “But no one’s father is Michael Jordan.”
Inexplicably, Marcus then hurled insults at the “Miami” ladies at large.
“These women can’t even wash dishes in our house, let alone try to engage themselves in this conversation,” the sports scion said, prompting nervous smiles from Pippen and Cohen.
“Some people need to stay in their lane,” the Trophy Room founder added.

More updates on the Page Six reality show…
Earlier this month, multiple sources claimed to Page Six that Marcus got into an allegedly heated exchange with other women backstage while the January meeting was being taped.
“The women didn’t hear what Marcus said backstage and didn’t even know about it until after the meeting was taped,” an insider told us. “But it was captured and the ladies already knew it.”
Another source claimed at the time that it was “so bad” that Marcus said it would “change the way the cast views him” if he quit.
Lemigova revealed the alleged incident with “Real Housewives” cast member Dorinda Medley on the Feb. 14 episode of SiriusXM’s “Reality Checked,” and she told Us that since She just lost respect for Marcus.
“I’ve always thought Marcus was a really lovely guy and everyone said he was a really nice guy, a really kind guy. Every time we used to say hello to each other he seemed like a really nice guy, ” explained the former Soviet lady.
“Then I heard him saying these unkind things to us, so I stopped thinking about him that way.”
The reunion was filmed a month before Marcus and Pippen briefly split.
Their relationship has been the focus of headlines and social media attention due to the ongoing rivalry between Marcus’ father Michael, 60, and Laura’s ex-husband Scottie Pippen, a former Chicago Bulls teammate.
Notably, Lemigova was one of the first “RHOM” women to ask Larsa what Marcus’ father thought of their romantic relationship, as documented in scenes filmed last summer.
Larsa, who has yet to meet Michael, who is Marcus’ other half, did not give a clear response but insisted that Marcus’ mother approved.
Incidentally, Michael later denounced his son’s relationship with Larsa when paparazzi pressed him on the matter during a trip to Paris in July 2023.
Of course, this was all brought up at a party.
Lemigova told Page Six that no resolution has been reached between her and Larsa. Instead, she thinks the conversation that day made it clear to both parties that a future friendship might not be viable.
“I give people a lot of chances. But when something big happens or you hear something big happens, it does change your perspective on the person themselves, and I don’t need to be around them,” she said, adding that she has no relationship with anyone “Neither” Larsa nor Marcus.
“They’re not part of my life. They were never real. “We’re not friends and I feel like our feelings for each other are mutual. “
The “Real Housewives of Miami” reunion part one begins Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. Reunion Parts Two and Three will move to a special time on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
