‘RHOM’ Kiki Barth on Season 6 Reunion, Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan Drama
Kiki Barth steps into her highlight. The “Real Housewives of Miami” forged member is having a breakout 12 months on the hit Bravo series, telling the reality, standing up for herself, and, in fact, stirring up the drama every now and then. Despite her “Friend” status, Barth proved to be a vital a part of the group, revealing more about herself to viewers in each episode and giving us a number of laughs along the way in which.
We caught up with Barth before the reunion aired on Wednesday night, where she shared her thoughts on the journey thus far and the recent Larsa Pippen-Marcus Jordan drama, and teased the upcoming reunion.
“Overall, the season was amazing for me,” she told us. “I feel like that was the season where I used to be like, ‘You know what? Enough. I’m fed up with sitting on the bench. I just need to have an opinion. I’m going to make use of my voice and speak up. Of course, you’ll be able to see how this season turned out, but I’m glad it happened.
“When you let your friends know how you feel, they know how to treat you,” she added, a comment that might apply to a lot of her forged members as Barth handled tensions with Larsa Pippen, her best friend, this season. who’s currently deeply involved with Marcus Jordan and Lisa Hochstein, who throughout the season was still reeling from their public divorce. Barth had some explosive moments with each of them, which she needed to relive because the season aired.
She explained: “Right now we’re like, ‘OK, this isn’t nice. Don’t say things like that, you know? You can have your opinion, but not every opinion has to be expressed publicly, you know? Sometimes you just have to feel sorry for other people.”

“Sometimes when you’re filming, you’re immersed in the moment,” she continued. “But now once I watch it, I’m like, ‘Wow, that was really crazy.’ I’ve never seen Lisa like this, you recognize? But hey, I’m just completely happy I stood up for myself. I said what I desired to say and I’m glad I expressed my opinion.
Despite the strain with Hochstein, Barth teases some resolution between the 2 in upcoming reunion episodes. “You know, Lisa and I… at the reunion, you’ll see that we had a conversation and I hope that we can get out of this whole situation and take small steps to rebuild the friendship, because you can’t build a foundation of friendship when you don’t know anything about each other.”
Barth also shared her opinion on the most recent drama attributable to her co-star Pippen relationship with Marcus Jordan, weeks after the 2 made headlines after they seemingly broke up throughout the Super Bowl telecast, sending the Internet right into a frenzy. However, the following day, the couple gave the impression to be back together, leaving Barth as confused as fans of the show.

She cheekily told us, “When I watched Usher perform, I believed, ‘Wow, what is going on on here? “So automatically as a friend, even though Lars and I were different, I reached out to her and said, ‘Hey, are you okay?’ Do you need anything?’ You know, as a friend, I’m here for you if you need anything. She said, “Thanks, honey.” But then, half-hour later, they (stood) back together. So I just read and watch the identical belongings you all watch! I’m not entirely sure what is going on on, but we’ll see… whatever it’s will come out when the time is correct.
The first a part of the Real Housewives of Miami reunion airs tonight, February 28 at 9 p.m. ET.
