Alexia Echevarria is excited for everyone to see the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Miami, but don’t expect her to become besties with Karent Sierra.

“I think the one that is [crawling under my skin] is Karent,” Alexia tells us. “You’ve haven’t had the pleasure to meet her but I’m sure she’ll do the same thing to you. In episode one, you don’t really see it, but I knew her from before. She gave me a very cold greeting so I took it very personally. This was my first time out in six months and I saw her with her smile … and it did bother me because she did know me.”

Watch the interview to hear what else Alexia had to say about Karent and the other housewives! Tune in every Thursday night at 9pm ET to Bravo for more episodes of The Real Housewives of Miami.

The 13-year-old is in intensive care after the horror smash on August 14, involving a car he was a passenger in.

Real Housewives Of Miami star Alexie Echevarria is keeping a bedside vigil for her son Frankie who was badly hurt in the crash. He has undergone surgery and doctors say his condition is “very bad.”Details of the crash are unknown, but wet weather is thought to have been involved — Miami was hit by heavy rain around the time of the accident.

Alexia has been tweeting from Frankie’s bedside, sharing updates on his condition with fans.

On Thursday, August 18 she tweeted, “Frankie’s pelvic surgery went well today thanks to God and all your prayers. He is stable and getting stronger day by day.”

“Your prayers are helping Frankie and our family be strong! Much love.”

When she’s not on screen on the Bravo show, Alexia is the executive editor of glossy Latin fashion magazine Venue.

She is married to businessman Herman Echevarria and has two sons from a previous marriage, 13-year-old Frankie and Peter, 18.

The news comes just days after The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong’s estranged husband, Russell Armstrong, committed suicide.

What a terrible week for the Housewives. Let’s hope Frankie pulls through and makes a full recovery.

Cristy & Larsa are up against the rest of the cast of ‘The Real Housewives of Miami.’ Whose side are you on?

On the last episode of The Real Housewives of Miami, Cristy Rice crashed Lea Black‘s black-tie event and refused to pay for a ticket. This was the first time we clearly saw the two sides (like we predicted) drawn by this new cast — Lea, Marysol Patton, Alexia Echevarria, Lea Black and Adriana DeMoura-Sidi against basketball wives Cristy and Larsa Pippen. And the rift you saw on TV is real, Marysol tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively — it continues “until this day!”

“Everybody is cordial when we have to get together for filming and photo shoots, but you know, there are four of us [Marysol, Alexia, Lea and Adriana] who are friendly and hang out outside of all this filming,” says Marysol.  ”There are two [Cristy and Larsa] that do the same as well. You can’t put six strangers together and expect them to all be best friends.”

Marysol, president of public relations firm The Patton Group, in Miami, helped Lea plan the gala. She thinks Cristy’s refusal to pay was way out of line.

“I learned my business doing it for charity,” she says. “Unless you’re a big donor and you have a track record of donating a lot of money, you’re paying before you go. When you don’t have a track record with a charity, everybody knows you don’t do that.”

Marysol’s relationship with her mother, Elsa, is also a highlight of the series. On the premiere, we watched as Elsa bluntly asked Marysol about her sex life. The situation still embarrasses Marysol.

“First of all, she totally ambushed me because I had no idea she was going to do that,” Marysol shares. “I was totally uncomfortable. She may not be Victorian, but I think I am a little bit. I kept looking at the camera people and at her like, ‘What is going on right now?’ Talk about sex? Obviously that wasn’t a conversation that I’ve had with my mother before. I was genuinely taken aback, nervous and uncomfortable with the whole thing. She just says whatever because she has nothing to lose.”

But overall, Marysol loves her mother’s humor. “She’s just naturally hysterical,” Marysol says. “I just have bellyaches from the stuff that comes out of her mouth. She doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings — not at anyone’s expense — it’s just this crazy stuff that comes out of her mouth that’s hysterical. It’s just good, clean fun.”
