Who knew that a trip to Marbella would cause so much drama? That’s exactly what happened on The Real Housewives of Miami. Stephanie Shojaee offered her private jet to bring the girls to accompany Julia Lemigova on her day trip from Seville to Marbella and things blew up. Now, Stephanie is slamming Julia for appearing ungrateful for her “gift.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about Stephanie’s private jet or her numerous Birkin bags. We get it, she’s loaded. And that’s all well and good. So when she offered her plane for the trip and covered the $40,000 cost for the girls to head to Marbella, it didn’t seem like that big a deal.

However, it was a really big deal. Because Stephanie was providing the jet, she had a pretty strict set of rules for the girls before boarding her airplane. And that got the drama ball rolling.
Long story short, Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton accused Stephanie of dangling the jet in front of them like a reward for “good behavior.” There is a hint of truth in that statement (remember that dinner?). So Alexia and Marysol decided to skip Marbella altogether.
This did not sit well with Stephanie. She and Alexia have already been butting heads. Stephanie likened them to two pots continuously bubbling over. And she said as much on the RHOM After Show.
“How is me giving something so major turned around to make me feel so horrible?” Stephanie asked about providing the jet. “I am really, really giving. I just like to do it, I like to make people happy.” She pointed out that she didn’t even really know Julia at the time, but thought it would be a kind gesture to invite her and the other girls on the jet instead of taking a car.
“I was like, ‘You know what? To make you happy, because you wanna go see your friends (to ask them to be the godfather of her adopted boys), I will spend $40,000 on a girl that I don’t know from a hole in the wall,” Stephanie said. “I didn’t feel very appreciated.”
Julia shared her own view of the matter, saying Stephanie has a bossy attitude. She even told Stephanie about it on the van ride from the hotel. “Stephanie, I love you, but sometimes your delivery is very bossy,” Julia said. Stephanie laid out her strict “jet-iquette” and even threatened to leave people behind if they misbehaved.
“You obviously don’t think I’m that bossy if you’re about to get on my plane and go,” Stephanie replied. Probably not the best answer, but hey, Stephanie can be very blunt. She doesn’t think she’s bossy, just that she’s a boss. Take it or leave it.
Real Housewives of Miami airs Thursdays on Bravo at 9 PM/EST. It can be streamed on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
