Julia lemigova4/17/2023 ![]() ![]() JL: I did it just for fun, but it ended very badly. ![]() WCT: Have you ever played tennis against Martina just for fun? All the models would come over for omelets! When I was modeling in the prime of my career working for Armani and living in Paris, I had a chicken on my rooftop garden there. I am trying to convince her to buy one for me. To me, if I was offered a diamond or a mini-cow, I would take the miniature cow. You don't have to necessarily talk about your diamonds, planes and boats. The people on the show have a luxurious life, but I have a different idea of luxury. I grew up wearing high heels at night and I would be in galoshes during the day shoveling chicken manure if necessary. When I was a little girl in Moscow I would spend the summer at my grandmother's little wooden house where we had all kinds of little animals such as chickens, goats and cows. Living in Miami gave me this opportunity. JL: When I lived in Russia, our apartment was small so I couldn't have all the creatures I wanted to have. WCT: Already in the first few episodes you are showing the farm life, as opposed to a life of riches. I hope we reach out to some hearts who really need it. I am so happy and proud, I don't use the word proud lightly or often, to shine a light on the simple aspects of our family and show the world how we live. I hope as a family that we represent the LGBT community well. What I am happy to be is a spokesperson for myself and my family. I would not even try to pretend that I am a spokesperson for the entire community. Being a visible part of the LGBT community comes with a lot of responsibility. WCT: Did you feel pressure being the first out housewife ? She liked having that spotlight you mentioned in our favorite city in the world: Miami. She has a book about it and exhibitions all over the world. JL: She has been doing it for years and years. WCT: Martina's art is being spotlighted on the show, and I imagine many people don't know about that. She saw me being so excited about this new life adventure and encouraged me to do it. We have been asked before to join some other series together and show our private life. JL: Normally, she is a very private person. WCT: How does Martina feel about being on the show? I was thrilled and said, "Yes, let's do it, girl, and go for it!" Martina was very supportive, and here we are today. In the next three days, I watched all three previous seasons. I didn't know at first because I had not seen the show yet. She called me one day and invited me to join the cast. ![]() She had the vision to see us as partners on the show because she knows how much we are in our daily life. Windy City Times: Start off by telling our readers how you were cast on The Real Housewives of Miami. Lemigova talked about the experience on a recent phone call just before the holidays. She was brought into the Housewives' fold by cast member Adriana de Moura. After becoming established with London's leading agency for modeling, her career took off quickly. Lemigova left Russia at age 17 not being able to speak English, and she had no money. Lemigova is a former model, farmer and current wife of tennis legend Martina Navratilova. (She's the franchise's second such cast member, following The Real Housewives of Orange County's Braunwyn Windham-Burke.) The show enters its fourth revamped season full of drama, ever-evolving personal relationships and an OnlyFans scandal. The Real Housewives of Miami finally has an out and proud member of the LGBTQ+ in the main cast with Julia Lemigova. This article shared 2841 times since Fri Dec 24, 2021 ![]()
