When Real Housewives of Orange County debuted Season 18, it marked the 100th season of Real Housewives. What an amazing achievement!
Reality Tea is looking back at the wildest and most legendary moments from across every franchise. Take a peek at our picks for #60-51 in our countdown of the best Real Housewives moments.
60. Shannon Beador tosses her plate at Kelly Dodd (RHOC)
Season 12 of RHOC featured a dramatic dinner at The Quiet Woman, which is Shannon Beador’s second home. Poor Shannon’s first mistake of the evening was confiding in Kelly Dodd that she felt self-conscious about her weight.
When Shannon returned to the booth to see Kelly sitting there, she was furious. Kelly told Shannon, “Calm down, girl. Maybe you need some hormones for your body.”
Then Shannon honored Kelly with a one-finger salute, shouting, “Read between the lines, you f*cking bitch! Get out of my table!”
Kelly replied, “Keep eating.” Shannon tossed her plate at Kelly, screaming, “This isn’t my plate, you f*cking bitch!” What a lovely night out!
59. Kyle Richards’ weed dinner sparks drama (RHOBH)
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards hosted a weed dinner at her home, hoping for a chill experience. RHOBH alums Camille Grammer and Denise Richards joined the party.
A confused Denise tried to confront Erika Jayne, but no one could determine what she was rambling about. Later, one chef remarked, “Dude. Denise Richards is f*cked up.” Yet, she hadn’t indulged at the party.
Meanwhile, Sutton Stracke and Garcelle Beauvais confronted Kyle about problems in her marriage with Mauricio Umansky. After Kyle denied the claims, Sutton lit up a joint at the table. Kyle was furious about the inquisition into her marital woes. Trust me, this dinner was heated, not chill.
58. The boat ride from hell (RHONY)
Tinsley Mortimer planned a trip to Colombia for her Real Housewives of New York co-stars. But during a boat road in rough seas, the ladies experienced a nautical emergency.
Tinsley told a terrified Sonja Morgan and Ramona Singer, who were huddled in a cabin below, that the turbulent sea was “normal.” Sonja, behaving like they were on The Titanic, peed on Ramona’s bathing suit as she screamed at Tinsley.
Meanwhile, Carole Radziwill was vomiting non-stop up on deck as a siren sounded. The camera crew had to stop filming as Ramona cried in Sonja’s arms.
It turns out that a mishap with the anchor caused the incident. Thankfully everyone was safe. Why can’t you find a pirate with a sea-worthy vessel when you need one? Right, Luann de Lesseps?
57. Eva Marcille dragged Marlo Hampton all over Tokyo (RHOA)
The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast hit up Tokyo for a fun cast trip. While the ladies were on a tour bus, Marlo Hampton decided to come for Eva Marcille.
“You’re a fraud!” Marlo yelled. So, Eva clapped back, “Says your lace front. If you don’t pick up your Got2B glue and tack it back down – leave me alone!”
Finally, Marlo slammed Eva for smoking since she also breastfed her child. “Oohh, you so bitter. I’m gonna pray for you,” Eva said to Marlo. Read completed!
56. Teresa Giudice fails a spelling test (RHONJ)
During the Season 4 Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion, the tension was thick. But the drama took a whimsical turn when Lauren Manzo asked Teresa Giudice a simple question. “What’s napalm mean? Spell it,” Lauren said.
Teresa froze like a deer in the headlights. “You don’t know,” Lauren said. “It was in your blog.” The look on Teresa’s face was priceless. Then Lauren’s mom, Caroline Manzo, also called for Teresa to spell napalm. Finally, host Andy Cohen asked Teresa if she wrote her blog. She claimed that she did.
“I’m not answering you,” Teresa said as she attempted to ignore the Manzos. They continued to chant at Teresa to spell napalm. “Keep going,” Teresa told Andy.
55. Sonja Morgan wants to protect the Morgan Letters (RHONY)
During another RHONY visit to Dorinda Medley’s estate in the Berkshires, the trip went left. Or at least, Sonja did. First, Dorinda and Ramona brought Sonja to visit a Morgan estate called Bedford Hall. Sonja’s marriage to her ex-husband, John Adams Morgan, was a matter of pride for her. But the experience pulled Sonja back into her past as a Morgan.
Later on, a drunken Sonja suffered a meltdown at Dorinda’s home. She was furious that Dorinda “put her paws all over these letters.”
Reaching her hands across the table, she shouted, “You don’t touch the f*cking Morgan letters!” Who says Real Housewives isn’t educational? A stunned Ramona, Tinsley, and Bethenny Frankel watched as Sonja burst into tears.
54. Ramona walks in the fashion show (RHONY)
During Fashion Week, Ramona strutted her stuff on the runway, but her unusual appearance caught RHONY cast mates Jill Zarin and Alex McCord’s husband, Simon van Kempen, off guard. “The eyes are popping,” Simon said of Ramona’s wide and unblinking gaze.
“When Ramona walked out, she looked like an alien invaded her body. She walks like a robot, with her neck sticking out like a giraffe and her eyes bulging,” Jill said in her confessional. “I mean, it was hysterical.” Unless you were Ramona.
53. Tamra Judge takes refuge in a bush (RHOC)
Tamra Judge has done many things during her time at RHOC. But during Vicki Gunvalson’s engagement party, Gina Kirschenheiter found a tipsy Tamra hiding in the bushes. After a run-in with Kelly Dodd and a bunch of tequila shots, Tamra put herself in a leafy time-out.
When Gina invited Tamra to leave the shrubbery, Tamra refused. Meanwhile, Steve Lodge later dumped Vicki before they made it down the aisle.
52. “Goodbye, Kyle!” (RHOBH)
The “puppy gate” scandal spelled the end of Lisa Vanderpump’s tenure on RHOBH. When a tabloid discovered that Dorit Kemsley had returned a pup from Vanderpump Dogs to a shelter instead of the organization, it ignited a friendship-ending drama.
The Beverly Hills ladies believed that Lisa leaked the story, so Kyle headed to Villa Rosa to confront her longtime friend. “I swear on my children’s life,” Lisa told Kyle, denying that she leaked the story. But it wasn’t enough to convince Kyle.
This made Lisa’s husband, Ken Todd, furious. “You’re supposed to be her f*cking friend,” he told Kyle. Then Lisa spoke her final words to Kyle. “You came here to tell me I am a liar. We’re done,” Lisa stated.
“Get the f*ck out of my house!” Lisa shouted as she and Ken walked upstairs. “Goodbye, Kyle!” Ken bellowed. It was an iconic moment in Real Housewives history.
51. Shereé Whitfield pulls Kim Zolciak’s wig (RHOA)
Atlanta peaches Shereé Whitfield and NeNe Leakes met up with Kim Zolciak to clarify some rumors that they heard. Would Kim ever talk about them both behind their back? Well, duh!
The meeting became heated, and Kim left the restaurant. NeNe and Shereé followed. The trio argued outside until Shereé let her fingers do the walking and pulled on Kim’s blonde wig.
“I felt the need to tug on her wig. I did not try to pull it off,” Shereé explained. She said that she didn’t intend to snatch it. “I just wanted to shift it a little bit,” she added. Well, Kim’s wig didn’t go airborne, so Shereé didn’t really want to grab it. All I can say is, “Fix it, Jesus!”
Stay tuned for our next drop, where we will relive moments 50 TO 41.
