VIDEO Miami Housewives drama: Lea Black calls Cristy Rice a hooker on live TV

For the folks moaning about a lack of drama from the Housewives down Miami way our ladies brought the heat in spades last night during the 2nd episode and it spilled over into a phone call bomb from Lea Black on Watch What Happens Live.

In our profile post on Lea Black I mentioned in detail the annual Black Gala that she and her famous lawyer husband host each year.  Last night’s show built up to that big night featuring Lea’s hectic preparation and Marysol Patton, whom Lea hired as a PR rep for the event, being quite flattering in her opinions of what a successful and important night it is each year on the Miami social scene.

As the gala unfolds we see Lea being forced by security to sport a bracelet even though she’s the host followed up with an emphasis on the fact that everyone pays to attend.  Lea is extremely defensive in her position about having no party crashers because she sees it as taking away from the fund raising efforts and in turn hurting those the charity tries to help.  It’s all about the children here folks!  This is the part where Cristy Rice comes crashing in to instigate the first cat fight, and a good one, from The Real Housewives of Miami.

Cristy strolls up to the gala complaining about a flat tire before getting herself a delicious looking mixed drink.  Security lets Cristy into the party without a ticket and an assistant is quick to mention this to Lea.  Lea is quoted at this moment as saying:

“Cristy didn’t RSVP, she didn’t buy a ticket, she showed up with some friends, and at the Black’s Annual Gala everybody has to buy a ticket. No one’s an exception, my husband pays and so do I.”

Lea informs her assistant that she’s going to invoice Cristy and her two bffs for unpaid tickets!

Now all of this seems like it could have quickly become water under the bridge but apparently this issue was never resolved.  Following the show Cristy and Marysol were guests on Watch What Happens Live.   Host Andy Cohen asked Cristy about the event and if she indeed was a party crasher.  Cristy explained about her flat tire and her intent to only hang for a little while and that the whole situation had been straightened out and that she had settled up with Lea money wise.

But then Lea called!

Lea Black was on fire as she accused Cristy of not only stiffing the charity and hurting the children it tries to help but being a party crasher and then equated Rice to {gasp} that of an expensive hooker!  Andy and Marysol sat there with their jaws open during Lea’s teleblasting of Cristy.  The phone flame ended with a hang up.  That’s right, not only did Lea call in and call out Cristy but she hung up on Andy.  Yikes!

Here is Lea’s complete phone call transcript:

“I don’t want to take up your time but I’ve got to set the record straight. You know Cristy bought two tickets and she came with two friends and crashed the fundraiser for kids in need. Then she snuck into the gala and proceeded to work the room like a $1000 hooker, then had the audacity to make a public statement that we should have paid her to attend. A month later, after we invoiced her, she finally paid for two people, not three, then went around town trashing me, calling me a b!tch and trashing the charity.

She should apologize to the committee, apologize to the kids, be ashamed of herself, and get an etiquette book. She did not call me and say she was coming. She called and asked “What was the deal?” I said “You have to call me back with a credit card right now or you will not be on the list. The guest list was closed days ago. We’re sold out. There’s a wait list.”

Respectable people simply do not crash charity events. That’s the record and I’m on the right side of the issues, and I am done with her lies, and I am done with her spinning of her story. That’s it.”

UPDATE: Andy and the folks at bravo have posted the video of Lea’s callnuke!  Here it is:

Afterwords, Cristy kind of hem-hawed around all the accusations claiming that she tuned out the rant after the hooker comment and then poor Marysol was put on the hooker when Andy asked her as a third party what she thought.  All Marysol could muster up at this point was the fact that Cristy hadn’t bought a ticket, which all the other gals from the show who attended had.

This Lea vs. Cristy battle spilled over to Twitter as Lea sort of backtracked but didn’t.  Her first tweet was to Andy:

I think Lea’s on the right side of ticketgate here but that mute excuse is weak!  Here was her next tweet aimed at Cristy in which she sort of apologizes for that whole “hooker” thing:

Cubanrice is Cristy’s Twitter handle.  Cristy replied with a short and sweet finger-wag in regards to Lea’s telebomb tirade:

The heat is on in Miami and I’m owning that like a Lea Black call in.
