Lemigova made it clear that she would not allow herself to be diminished by someone using the platform for personal gain.
Marcus Jordan’s Relationship with Larsa Pippen
The relationship between Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen has been a subject of interest and controversy. The enduring rivalry between Marcus’ father, Michael Jordan, and Larsa’s ex-husband, Scottie Pippen, has added fuel to the fire.

The tension between the two families has only escalated since then, culminating in Marcus’ disparaging remarks at the reunion.
The Fallout and Reunion Aftermath
The RHOM Season 6 reunion was a turning point for the relationships among the cast members. Lemigova revealed that she heard Marcus “came for all the women” during the reunion, but the exact details of his outburst remain undisclosed.

The cast members were made aware of his comments after the reunion was taped, leading to a significant shift in their perception of him.
The Impact on Julia Lemigova
As someone who values kindness and respect, Lemigova was deeply hurt by Marcus’ derogatory comments. She had previously regarded him as a kind and nice person but was disappointed to learn of his unkind remarks. Lemigova, who has worked hard to build a life for herself in the United States, found Marcus’ comments about the cast’s ability to do household chores particularly offensive. She has since lost respect for him and has chosen not to pursue a friendship with either Marcus or Larsa.
