‘Real Housewives Of Miami’ Star Kiki Barth Says She’s “Curious” About What “Horrible Things” Marcus Jordan Allegedly Said At The Reunion: “They’re Keeping Me In The Dark”

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan‘s relationship may have taken center stage over the last couple of weeks, but Kiki Barth — fan-favorite “friend of” on The Real Housewives of Miami — is here to dish on everything we can look forward to in the upcoming three-part reunion, including the “horrible things” Jordan allegedly said about some of the other women in the cast.

While Julia Lemigova claimed on Watch What Happens Live that Pippen’s boy toy “revealed a side of his personality that” she didn’t know before, Barth admits to DECIDER that she didn’t “hear what was happening,” adding that she is just as “in the dark” as the rest of us. What she could speak on, however, was her heated confrontation with Lisa Hochstein, which stemmed from their screaming match in Mexico City.

Tensions appear to boil over in the reunion teaser as Barth tells Hochstein that she “looks down” on people like her. While reflecting on the emotional moment, Barth tells us, “I really feel like Lisa is very materialistic … I don’t think Lisa is a bad person. I just feel like she just put herself on this pedestal, like, she’s kind of better than everyone else, particularly me.”

As for the three-part reunion that starts airing tonight, Barth describes it as “chaotic” and “must-watch” TV, teasing a major shift in dynamics as she says, “People that you thought were close are not friends anymore.”

DECIDER caught up with Barth — a.k.a. the Burger Queen — ahead of the reunion’s premiere to chat about what fans can expect from the highly anticipated set of episodes, Pippen’s recent relationship drama and whether or not Barth would consider going from a “friend of” to a full-time Housewife.

DECIDER: Whether you are pulling out Burger King in the middle of an argument or wiping your tears with a dildo, you have quickly become one of the most iconic and loved Housewives, which makes us wonder why the heck you aren’t a full-time Housewife yet. Is that something you want? Or are you happy being a “friend of”? 

KIKI BARTH: Listen, everything is about timing. It’s God’s timing. I’m very comfortable being where I am right now, but who doesn’t want to be full-time, where you can put your story out there and let people get inspired by [whatever] audience that I get to reach? So yeah, if you guys know somebody that you can make a call to and say, “Hey, make Kiki full-time,” please call them, let’s do this. I’m ready.

As the comedic relief in the show, how are you able to keep things light and fun when there are so many heated moments? 

You’re going to laugh at this because I don’t think I’m funny. 

I think all of our mouths just dropped.

I don’t think I’m funny. It amazes me, the amount of people like, “Oh my God, you make us laugh so much.” But this is me. I always have something coming out and people just laugh and I’m like, “What are you laughing at?” … I don’t think I’m funny.

But I guess that’s what makes it funny because I don’t take it serious. I just speak my mind. I let anything out, which, I need to control my mouth most of the time. I need to start doing that. I’m just myself and I’m just happy that it can make a difference in people’s life and make them laugh. But this is really me. I’m like, almost like, I want to say [a] pervert. I’m always funny without knowing it. And my son is the same way. My son is super funny.

In the beginning of the season, you were feeling a little excluded by Larsa Pippen amid her relationship with Marcus Jordan. How are you guys doing now?

Larsa and I right now, we are taking baby steps. We don’t talk like we used to. But I do have faith that maybe we’ll get back to being where we were. But sometimes it’s like that with friendship. You have good moments, bad times, good times. But it’s up to you to try to figure it out. I’m hoping that we can work out whatever it is that we’re going through, but it will take time. 

What did you think of the breakup rumors between Larsa and Marcus?

I was in shock just like everybody. I found out just like everybody did on Twitter. And I reached out to her and I wrote her and said, “Hey, I’m sorry that this is happening. If you need anything, I’m here for you as a friend.” Because no matter what we go through, it’s temporary. I know that, you know, we can always work through it. So I’m really hoping that things work out. 

Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton speculated that it was all a PR stunt. What’s your take on that?

I don’t know, but I’m just looking from the outside. I’m watching the same thing everyone is watching, and I’m just as shocked, but, hey, who knows? I don’t know at this point. I don’t know what to believe. I don’t know. Who does that? 

On WWHL, Julia Lemigova said that Marcus “revealed a side of his personality that” she didn’t know at the reunion, adding that he said “horrible things” about some of the women. What can you say about that?

When you’re filming a reunion, we are all in a different space, and I wasn’t close enough to them to even hear what was happening. I knew there was something that happened between Larsa and another Housewife, which you guys will be shocked when you watch the reunion. But I don’t know. I’m curious to see what Marcus had to say. And I hope it’s nothing about me. But I’m curious. I need to ask Adriana [de Moura]. Or maybe I need to wait and find out, but I’m curious. I haven’t heard anything. It’s like they’re keeping me in the dark.

Moving onto last week’s episode. Do you think Larsa was coming at Guerdy Abraira a little too hard considering what she’s going through?

I think considering the whole cancer thing – like when your friend is sick, especially in life and death. Because the thing is, people think, “Oh, it’s stage one.” I don’t look at it that way. I look at it like it’s cancer and these things don’t play. And even if it’s stage one, you go, you do chemo, you remove it. After a while, there’s the potential that it will come back. And that’s what most people are afraid of. You cure it. Is it always a cure? There’s a chance it can come back. 

I really feel like Larsa should have apologized when she had a chance to instead of dragging the whole thing [out]. And now it’s just such a mess. We’re all trying to see what’s going to happen, because we don’t know how they’re going to be able to fix this, but I really think it went too far. 

How surprised were you to see the typically quiet Russell jumped in there?

Well, I feel like he can only take so much. I wouldn’t want my man to say anything to the women. Me, personally. But when your woman is fighting for their life and you have people that are making fun or jokes about it, and especially if that’s your friend, I guess you’re going to react. So I can understand why in that moment — Russell is very quiet. If Russell opens his mouth, something is wrong.

You know things are bad when the quiet ones get involved.

That’s me. I’m normally very quiet. But when you mess with me, don’t let me open my mouth. Because it’s all these things I’ve been holding on [to] for putting up with the little things. And then, boom. Now it’s like a whole volcano explodes. And that’s me. I don’t attack people. I don’t say much. But when I open my mouth, I’m like a viper. 

Well, while we’re on that topic – a couple of episodes ago, you and Lisa Hochstein got into a pretty intense argument. In the reunion trailer, you tell her that she looks down on people like you. What did you mean by that? What can you tell us about that confrontation at the reunion?

To be honest – and I told Lisa this to her face too – I really feel like Lisa is very materialistic. And I really feel like because I’m from Haiti and I work – and I’m not saying that the woman doesn’t work – I feel like I’m from more [of] a humble background … I just feel like unless you’re driving a Rolls-Royce or you do this on her level, like you’re not good enough. And that’s what I really think.

I don’t think Lisa is a bad person. I just feel like she just put herself on this pedestal, like, she’s kind of better than everyone else, particularly me. I don’t really know why, but I feel like she treats me like that. And, I’m just praying for her.

Why do you think Lisa gets so defensive whenever anyone confronts her?

She’s going through a tough divorce. I notice that and I recognize that. And we all want to be there for her as a friend. But I also feel like there are bigger things in life. I just feel like Lisa just needs to find herself. She just needs to take a moment back, reflect on herself and say, “You know what? All these things that I went through with Lenny, let me just look back. Maybe I was doing something wrong.” Sometimes you’re not wrong. But sometimes when you reflect on yourself, you’re like, “Wait, maybe I was doing this wrong or right.” I don’t know. These girls need Jesus, some of them. They just need God at this point.

One good thing, I think, that came out of this argument in the episode was that we learned a little more about you and your struggles as a single mom. Have the other women been better about checking in on you since you revealed that? 

Back to Lisa, sometimes when you fight with your friends, it makes things better because that kind of gives you another perspective like, “Oh, okay. So I know when I do this, she’s upset or when she does that, I’m upset.” So I’m happy this whole thing happened because now Lisa is checking in on me, she’s inviting me to dinner. So we are working on it and you’ll be surprised. Maybe next season it’ll be me and Lisa. You just never know. But we are working on it. We’re working on our friendship. She seems more interested now. She wants to know about the kids. You don’t know what can come from it. Hopefully, we get in a better place.

Is there anything else you can tease about the reunion? 

The reunion is something that you guys never expected because the whole dynamic changed. It’s very crazy. It’s a must-watch. You have to watch it. It’s crazily insane.
