Ana Quincoces's 'RHOM' Cameo Wreaked Havoc on the Cast in Season 6

As much as we adore the current cast of The Real Housewives of Miami, diehard Bravo fans will never forget the original group of ladies who brought the heat from 2011-2013. Some of them, like Larsa Pippen, Alexia Nepola (nee Echevarria), Marysol Patton, Lisa Hochstein, and Adriana de Moura, were fortunate enough to come back into the fold in Season 4, others, like Joana Krupa and Cristy Rice weren't so lucky.

Initially, Bravoholics were certain Ana Quincoces, who starred on RHOM in Season 2, was one of the 'wives who were never to be seen or heard from again. Thankfully for fans of the OG, she's not ready to remove her foot from her frenemies' necks.

Ana returned to RHOM in Season 6 after being away from her former castmates for over a decade. As you can imagine, Ana's return didn't sit well with everyone, though no one expected how much drama her appearance would cause amongst the group.

The cameo has fans wondering what she's been up to since leaving reality TV behind. Fortunately, we've got the scoop below!

Sometimes, one reality TV season is all you need, especially in the Housewives world. Just ask Kim Fields, Amber Marchese of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and even current Miami star Larsa Pippen, who originally left the show after just one season before her Season 4 return.

Ana, another one-season wonder, appeared on the series in Season 2 and opened up about her life as a chef and a lawyer, as well as being a mother of two to her daughters — Katie and Beba — with ex-husband Robert Rodriguez. However, during her season, Ana revealed she and Robert were divorcing.

After a season of sharing her heartbreak on camera, plus falling out with her former pals Alexia and Marysol, Ana decided to leave RHOM after her first season.

Ana confirmed her exit on her blog. In her post, she seemingly wanted to stay on the franchise longer; she noticed her time would be ending on the show after her "airtime was significantly reduced" before her exit and "felt like I had dodged a bullet" by leaving the show when she did (via Reality Tea).

Since leaving RHOM, Ana's life became complicated off the air. After her divorce, she was arrested in 2015 for driving with a suspended license. According to The Daily Mail, she served no jail time for the crime. Ana's love life, however, got a boost after she left RHOM. In 2013, she became engaged to Marco Jimenez. The couple married shortly after.

As of this writing, Ana still lives in Florida, where she manages her sauce line, Skinny Latina. She also co-hosts a podcast with her daughter, Beba, called Mami Issues.

While Ana's time on RHOM wasn't long, she certainly made an impact before her exit. So much so that she returned to the show in Season 6 for another chance to throw shade at some of her former castmates, namely Marysol.

In December 2023, the midseason trailer for Season 6 of RHOM dropped. And honey, Ana proved why she needed more time on the already spicy show. In the episode "Mamacita Madness," which aired in January 2024, Ana joined the cast — Alexia, Marysol, Lisa, Adriana, Larsa, Guerdy Abraira, Kiki Barth, Julia Lemigova, and Dr. Nicole Martin — for Nicole's Mother's Day "Mamacita" brunch — causing Alexia and Marysol to abruptly leave the event. Don't worry; they come back later in the episode.

While Ana and Marysol were once friends, their good times ended after Ana's departure from RHOM. In the clip, Marysol says to Ana that she was hurt when Ana said she "wished I was dead." Ana responded by saying her daughter calls her a "rotten corpse," as the camera panned to a stunned Nicole.

Although Ana didn't name which daughter made the "rotten corpse" statement, Ana and her daughter Beba have been outspoken about Ana's former cast members, both on their podcast, Mami Issues, and on other platforms. In January 2023, Ana spoke out against the RHOM cast, on David Yontef's Behind the Velvet Rope Podcast, stating that some appear "thirsty." Yikes.

On Mami Issues, Ana and Beba have made damaging accusations about the "Bros." Ana said on the pod that Marysol married her husband, Steven McNamara, solely for the show and brought up rumors about Steven's sexuality. Additionally, Ana has shamed Alexia for reportedly being dependent on men, including her current husband, Todd Nepola. Adriana de Moura also accused Ana of telling her about Alexia's finances, claiming she and Todd weren't doing well, though Ana denies that part.

Ana and Beba also fired shots at Alexia's son, Peter Rosello. In January 2024, ahead of Ana's RHOM return, a 2023 interview with Behind the Velvet Rope podcast, they claimed Beba was almost "roofied" by Peter. According to Beba's account, Peter and his friends threw a party and invited Beba and her friends. She said the night ended with all of her friends getting roofied and claimed Peter was a part of the attacks.

Although Ana admitted "we don’t know who did it, allegedly,” she assumed it was Peter due to his past behavior and his reputation for being "the worst" Housewives kid. Peter, for his part, denies any involvement in drugging Beba's friends, telling Reality Tea on Jan. 23, 2024, "I haven’t seen them since I was 18 years old. Never were friends.” He added, “Smh can’t believe they are talking s--t like that.”

In addition to the mess that occurred from Ana's resurgence when the RHOM cameras stopped rolling, fans watched as Ana's appearance at Nicole's Mamacita brunch drove a bigger wedge between Nicole, Alexia, and Marysol.

Nicole, Marysol, and Alexia argued about Ana's invite at part 2 of the Season 6 reunion. During the argument, Nicole confirmed she doesn't trust Marysol and claimed Alexia has a "boner" for her due to her always being upset about something she does.

As the three of them continued making shady remarks about one another, Adriana stepped in and apologized for being the one who invited Ana in the first place. Adriana inviting Ana has been glossed over for most of Season 6, as the blame has been mostly on Nicole. However, she called a truce and said she takes "the blame" for the matter and apologized to Alexia, stating her actions were "s---ty," and admitted, "I was shady.”

New episodes of The Real Housewives of Miami air on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
