Todd claims he’s worth $100Million and insists he never bounced a check, never missed a payment, and never had any financial trouble.

Multiple 'RHOM' Episodes Are Called Into Question in Todd Nepola's Lawsuit

Todd said he purchased over $115million in real estate that was all legitimately financed while filming.
In the legal filing, multiple episodes of the show are called into question, including one where cast member Adriana de Moura allegedly spread false claims about Todd. Specifically, he referenced allegations his business was going down the drain and a claim that he may have to break his lease and downgrade his apartment.
Todd’s lawyer, Scott J. Weiselberg of Kopelowitz Ostrow Ferguson Weiselberg Gilbert, insists it was all made up and that Bravo knowingly did so.
During filming, Todd’s side claims he purchased more than $115million in real estate, and it was all financed through legitimate bank loans.

“Mr. Nepola wanted to be Alexia’s husband, not her storyline,” it notes. “Enough is enough.”
He is seeking $10million in damages for defamation and $1million for unauthorized use of his name and likeness. Additionally, he wants injunctive relief to prevent his image from being further misused or rebroadcast.
The Demise of Alexia and Todd's Relationship


Aleixa Nepola confirmed she and Todd 'reached an amicable divorce settlement' in March.
After getting married in December 2021, their marriage fell apart when Todd filed for divorce in April 2024. Alexia seemingly was blindsided by the filing, claiming at the time she was "shocked and heartbroken."
"I will take comfort in the fact that my friends and family will be by my side, supporting me during this difficult time. I'm praying for better times ahead," she elaborated.
In March, it was confirmed Alexia and Todd had finalized their divorce.
"After thoughtful reflection, Todd and I have reached an amicable divorce settlement," Alexia said in a statement at the time. "While our marriage has legally ended, our relationship has not."
"We continue to love and support each other as we navigate this next chapter," she added. "We appreciate the understanding, love, and support from our family, friends, and fans."
