In a case of “how ya gonna keep em down on the farm” Real Housewife of Miami Alexia Echevarria inserted her foot in mouth after her comments about Hialeah on episode 2.
Alexia Echevarria — who is married to a former Hialeah council president — promptly apologized.
from the Miami Herald:
It’s OK for The Real Housewives to bare their claws in the show’s trademark catfights.
But don’t trash talk Hialeah.
That’s the lesson Alexia Echevarria — the self-proclaimed “Cuban Barbie’’ on The Real Housewives of Miami — learned this week after dissing the city’s 250,000 residents on the cable network.
She apologized Wednesday for comments about Hialeah locals being “lower” that sparked an online firestorm and strong stirring of Hialeah and Cuban-American pride.
On the Miami show’s second episode Tuesday night, Echevarria’s seeming put-down started simply enough when the 43-year-old magazine editor addressed the camera about her glossy magazine, Venue.
She referred to Hialeah residents as “lower’’ and wanting to live vicariously through the socialites portrayed in her magazine that caters to Hispanics.
One reason some took issue with Echevarria’s comment: She is married to Herman Echevarria, a former Hialeah City Council president, former chairman of the Hialeah Chamber of Commerce and Industries and a well-connected marketing executive.
One of the reasons this franchise is interesting: These women have not learned to edit themselves for the viewing audience.
