Larsa Pippen and Lisa Hochstein reveal the reason for their short-lived reconciliation on the RHOM After Show.
he Real Housewives of Miami's Larsa Pippen and Lisa Hochstein may have finally made up on the cast's cruise during Season 7, Episode 15, but now, their friendship is already back on the rocks.
The two revealed the bleak update on The Real Housewives of Miami After Show, with Larsa first accusing Lisa of recently "bashing" her and "saying things that are hurtful" in the press.
"When I'm doing press, I'm not sitting there criticizing everything she's done to me this year," Larsa explained in the above clip. "I'm more so saying that, like, I really was going through a very public breakup [with Marcus Jordan], I really needed my friends to be there for me, and that's kinda how I feel. I kinda summed it up and I buttoned it up with that."
She continued, "And I feel like, for her, she's like, 'Oh, Larsa's a liar.' Like, she's saying all these mean things about me."
Separately, Lisa offered her side of the story on how her and Larsa's reconciliation soured, noting that they "were on better terms" and seemed to be heading in the right direction, at one point.
"We really were getting there until I found out everything that she was saying behind my back," Lisa shared, before mentioning Larsa's drama with Jody Glidden. "All of the nasty garbage that was coming out of her mouth, the lies and the manipulation and the tearing down of Jody and making things out of nothing — literally out of nothing — and, like, just painting Jody and myself as people we're not."
Where Larsa Pippen and Lisa Hochstein's friendship stands today

As for where she and Larsa stand today, Lisa continued, "We're at the point where she unfollowed me because of whatever. And then, I returned the favor and I unfollowed her back because I noticed she unfollowed me."
Lisa further claimed on the RHOM After Show that she "never fully trusted" Larsa, anyway.
Meanwhile, when Stephanie Shojaee asked Larsa if she is still "hurt" by the friendship rift, the mom of three admitted that she still can't figure out "what [Lisa] wants," adding, "I feel like, for me, I just want to move on, move past it." Regardless, she described their current status as being cordial, if they're ever "in the same space" together.
Still, Larsa went on to air her lingering grievances about Lisa taking so long to cut ties with Marcus, especially in light of post-split animosity between them.
"I just feel like all of these problems could've easily been handled differently, had she just said to me, 'Hey, I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm gonna unfollow him. Like, I love you, I hope you're OK.' Like, just something nice," she elaborated. "How can you be friends with someone that's saying the meanest things about me? Like, to me, that's just like, you're not my friend."
Why Larsa Pippen and Lisa Hochstein ended their feud on RHOM
Though their truce turned out to only be temporary, Larsa and Lisa also unpacked why they decided to make peace on RHOM in the first place.
"It's just hard being in a place of not being happy with someone that you used to be so close with," Larsa explained on the After Show. "I just kinda was over it. ... I think it's like, 'This is it. I don't wanna argue with you anymore, I just wanna co-exist with you.'"
An "exhausted" Lisa, for her part, added that she — and the rest of their castmates, for that matter — were "all over" the never-ending drama.
"I had anxiety. I don't wanna go into the room and have anxiety and have everyone else have anxiety," she said. "It's always about us, and we can't relax. I wanted to move forward and just move on."
That's ultimately why they both decided to mend fences during the cruise that Marysol Patton hosted for the group. During their heart-to-heart on the ship's deck, Larsa apologized for beefing with Jody and promised to "never talk about him again," while Lisa, in turn, said she was sorry for unfollowing Larsa on social media during a moment of anger on the cast trip to Spain.
The two eventually rejoined the other women holding hands. In hindsight, however, Lisa questioned Larsa's motives for suddenly wanting to be her "best friend" again.
"She needed a friend. Period," Lisa contended on the After Show. "She's changing friends like underwear. Everyone's her best friend. ... When you say that so loosely, it doesn't hold the same weight. It doesn't feel as special."
