Larsa Pippen had no malicious intentions when she spilled the news about Guerdy Abraira's breast cancer diagnosis to her Real Housewives of Miami costars, with an insider telling RadarOnline.com that she believed she was being a good friend.
X, formerly known as Twitter, lit up on Monday after Bravo dropped the trailer for the upcoming season six episode, which airs on Peacock Wednesday.
While it appeared that Larsa betrayed Guerdy's trust, we're told she believed most of the cast already knew.
In the sneak peek, Guerdy breaks down crying while at lunch with Larsa. The latter caught flak over her reaction to Guerdy's diagnosis, in which an emotional Abraia told her, "I have breast cancer."
"How am I supposed to know that?" Larsa stated. "You have breast cancer? Like, how do you know? How do you know?"
Guerdy told Larsa she was "the fourth person in the group to know" and asked her to "take it in confidence right now." Later in the clip, Larsa was seen telling Marysol Patton, Kiki Barth, and Lisa Hochstein, all of who shockingly blurted out, "WHAT?"

"Larsa was initially shocked and lost for words," the source said, adding that when Guerdy said "in confidence," Larsa thought she was referring to the media and press.

"Who asks 'How do you know?!?!'" asked another. "Not for nothing, there's something mentally off with Larsa, I can't peg it but she's off," accused a third.
