Guerdy Abraira is back for “The Real Housewives of Miami” Season 6 with a story to share – her own breast cancer diagnosis. This season follows the renowned event planner, wife, and mother as she navigates the life-changing experience.
In an exclusive interview with BLACK ENTERPRISE, Guerdy spoke candidly about her journey and how it felt to share such a personal story on a reality show.
“It was surreal. And I was in complete denial, shock, whichever emotion,” she said.
Viewers of the show will get an inside look at Guerdy navigating “the discovery phase” of breast cancer, a disease that impacts one in eight women. She knew she wanted to share her story, but it was a difficult decision.
“It’s going to affect a lot of people. And I just can’t believe I did it, but I knew I had to do it,” she said.
In the first episode of Season 6, Guerdy tries to dismiss a verbal spat with Larsa Pippen. She isn’t ready to share her diagnosis with the group yet, and Larsa appeared confused. Guerdy explained why she had to take the moment to reflect on her journey.
“I’m talking to Larsa specifically, but it’s not about, I mean, you, Larsa,” she said. “It was more like, ‘girl, like stop with this BS because this is nothing compared to what I’m going through.’”
Navigating cancer and filming a reality show at the same time is no easy feat, and fans of the show were moved by the moment. Guerdy’s journey has brought her closer to her cast mates, even if she sometimes realizes some people aren’t the shoulder to lean on in serious situations.
Guerdy is now an advocate for raising awareness for breast cancer. She’s also using her platform to encourage people to reach out for help and support when dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Be sure to watch “The Real Housewives of Miami” on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT to learn more about Guerdy’s journey.
