Everyone loves a villain origin story. The drama of good versus evil has been an ongoing tale that viewers have come to know well. Even in the Real Housewives franchise, Bravo has found a way to write in some of the most perfect villains of all time. Now, without further haste, let’s end the anticipation and reveal some of the Biggest Villains in Real Housewives History…

Biggest Real Housewives of Atlanta villain – Kenya Moore

It was always hard for Kenya Moore to find something nice to say about most of her co-stars on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. But Bravo found the perfect woman to play their sour peach when it came to the former Miss USA. Fans should have known Kenya would be in trouble when she rudely corrected Porsha Williams about her title. She elevated her Evil Queen moments by bringing a marching band to Marlo Hampton’s event and mocking Phaedra Parks with fake butt pads.

Bravo viewers recently learned that Kenya had been let go from the franchise for allegedly blowing up photos of the new girl to use as decorations for her Kenya Hair Spa event. The photos were said to be sexually explicit and showed Brittany Eady providing oral sex to a mystery man. Kenya always liked to play dirty, but this time, it bit her in the Stallion Booty. 

Biggest Real Housewives of New Jersey villain – Danielle Staub

Danielle Staub is synonymous with evil housewives after her first three seasons on Real Housewives of New Jersey. The mother of two loved to play the victim when, in reality, she was the reason behind her demise. She twisted what others said and made up a grandiose story to convince everyone she was the victim. But viewers saw right through her and the Danielle Army, which consisted of ex-cons. 

Perhaps one of the worst moments for Danielle was when she decided, with the help of Teresa Giudice, to pull Margaret Josephs’ hair. The move was full of malice and could have injured Margaret. It was bad enough the blonde in pigtails had a slight whiplash from the incident. But Danielle’s cold attitude and ability to laugh off her mean deed sent shivers down viewers’ spines. 

Biggest Real Housewives of New York villain – Aviva Drescher

Sometimes, a villain is just full of dramatics. This definition would apply to Aviva Drescher, who just couldn’t stay firmly in reality. She could have been an iconic housewife if she had played her cards better. But she did leave the Real Housewives of New York as a top-tier gold villain. Everyone wanted to like Aviva, but she just made it so damn hard because everything was a fight for her. Aviva even had an evil henchman who was her extremely creepy father. 

Biggest Real Housewives of Salt Lake City villain – Jen Shah

We all knew Jen Shah wasn’t the nicest person, the most caring, or the most understanding. But no one knew that she had been running a nationwide telemarketing fraud scheme. The ploy involved taking thousands of dollars from elderly and vulnerable people. Jen was caught numerous times yelling at her Shah Squad and the other ladies. The mother of two became so enraged one time she even tried to ruin thousands of dollars of Bravo’s camera equipment by splashing water on it. Overall she just wasn’t a pleasant lady. 

Biggest Real Housewives of Potomac villain – Gizelle Bryant

Word on the street is that Gizelle Bryant is the biggest villain of the Real Housewives of Potomac. Now, I happen to like the green-eyed bandit bit. She often found herself mixed up in some of the most dramatic moments in the series. She was seen to be manipulating some of her costars and always stirring the pot. 

Biggest Real Housewives of Beverly Hills villain – Camille Grammer

Camille Grammer was made to be a TV villain. She was beautiful and even more deadly in her social circle. Camille had the makings of a villain thanks to her absent and most famous of the group’s husbands, insanely delusion surroundings, an entourage of people kissing her ass, and flirting with every man. Camille just embodied everything bad people think about rich housewives. But I wouldn’t say no to seeing her back on my small screen.

Biggest Real Housewives of Orange County villain – Vicki Gunvalson 

Even though Vicki Gunvalson was the OG of the OC, she didn’t always lead with good manners. The mother of two was well known for hazing the new girls. The insurance queen always came across as extremely jealous and could never be happy for anyone else’s good fortune. Even though she is perhaps one of the mildest villains, she is still a mean girl nonetheless. 

Biggest Real Housewives of Miami villain – Joanna Krupa

Joanna Krupa of the Real Housewives of Miami rubbed fans the wrong way. For me, it was when she commented how hard her friends in L.A. worked compared to her Miami friends. The comment was rude and disrespectful, but the model showed no remorse. Even though Joanna was gorgeous on the outside, her inside seemed a bit shallow.
