The Real Housewives franchise is one of a kind when it comes to reality television. Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 recently made history as the 100th Real Housewives season. Given this huge accomplishment, we have compiled 100 of the franchise’s most iconic moments. Continuing down the list, here are moments 50-41!

50. “Downward spiral like Anna Nicole Smith” – Real Housewives of New York

Our first moment is from Real Housewives of New York Season 6. During a heated conversation, Heather Thomson lost her patience with Aviva Drescher and her controversial comments. To defend Sonja Morgan, Heather exclaimed “You said Sonja was on a downward spiral like Anna Nicole Smith”. Anna Nicole Smith was an actress and model before she tragically passed away from a drug overdose.

In response to Heather’s statement, Aviva claimed that her comment had been a compliment towards Sonja. Heather then nailed it by replying “She died Aviva, that is not a compliment”. Oh, Aviva, choose your words more carefully next time, please!

49. Adriana de Moura’s “Spanglish” at the Season 2 reunion – Real Housewives of Miami

Coming in next is one of the funniest moments in Real Housewives of Miami history. During the Season 2 reunion, Adriana de Moura roasted Joanna Krupa and it was pretty hilarious. Adriana explained that she spoke Spanglish and as a result, called Joanna “HO-ANNA”. This was pretty savage of Adriana, and it went on to become one of her most memorable moments on RHOM.

48. Tamra Judge demanding a divorce from Simon Barney – Real Housewives of Orange County

Our next all-time favorite moment is from iconic RHOC star Tamra Judge. During Season 5, Tamra got into a heated argument with her then-husband Simon Barney in the backseat of a car. After Simon accused Tamra of not being there for him and their kids, she exclaimed that she wanted a divorce. Not long after this, Tamra and Simon did end up getting a divorce. Tamra has always cut straight to the point and she never holds back!

47. Sonja Morgan’s dog funeral – Real Housewives of New York

I feel terrible calling this next one of the best Real Housewives moments since it’s so sad. Sonja hosting a funeral for her dog Millou was touching and showed how much she loved him. This was ultimately an important moment in Sonja’s RHONY storyline, as it demonstrated how she never hesitated to be her authentic self. As a dog lover myself, I completely understand where Sonja was coming from here. Dogs deserve the world, and it’s clear that Millou had a wonderful life with Sonja!

46. Mary Cosby’s “Women” Comment – Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

Mary Cosby is one of the funniest women on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. One of Mary’s most hilarious moments was when she watched Whitney Rose walk out, following a heated argument. After Whitney was out of earshot, Mary smirked before remarking “Women…”. This was way funnier than Mary probably intended it to be and the look on her face was priceless. The best part is that Mary’s a woman herself, oh the hypocrisy.

45. The second dinner party from hell, Erika Jayne vs Sutton Stracke – Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

The Real Housewives franchise has seen more than one disastrous dinner party. Of course, one of these was the dinner hosted by Kathy Hilton during Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 11. Erika Jayne had been on edge all night and was emotional over the legal troubles involving her and her husband Tom Girardi. While Erika was snippy with all of the women, she clashed with Sutton Stracke in particular.

Sutton seemed to be the only one who was willing to call Erika out, which was honestly refreshing. Erika’s behavior had been sketchy, and she didn’t seem concerned about the victims of Tom’s embezzlement. After being called out by Sutton, Erika began verbally attacking and cursing at her. Sutton remained fairly calm, but the fight was intense enough to go down in Real Housewives history.

44. Vicki Gunvalson will be sad when someone dies – Real Housewives of Orange County

Another classic Real Housewives moment was RHOC star Vicki Gunvalson worrying about one of her friends dying. While the women were planting trees, Vicki randomly wondered out loud that it was gonna be sad when “one of us dies”. The rest of the group was confused, as Vicki’s comment came out of nowhere. While Vicki wasn’t trying to be funny, this one-liner turned into one of her best moments on RHOC.

43. Kim Richards giving Lisa Rinna the stuffed bunny back – Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Another iconic RHOBH moment was during Season 7 and involved a stuffed bunny of all things. Kim Richards was feuding with Lisa Rinna at the time, who had previously given her a stuffed bunny for her grandson. The bunny seemed to be a genuine gesture from Lisa, but Kim felt otherwise. During the reunion, Kim returned the bunny to Lisa as she didn’t feel it was given to her with “good energy”. I guess no argument is too silly!

42. White House party crashers – Real Housewives of DC

This next moment might actually be the craziest on our list. If you remember Real Housewives of D.C., you know that it only had one season. This was mainly caused by White House “party crashers” Michaele Salahi and her husband Tareq Salahi. At the end of the season, Michaele and Tareq snuck into a White House event that they hadn’t been invited to. When the media found out about this scandal, it understandably erupted into chaos.

41. Kenya Moore’s hair care marching band – Real Housewives of Atlanta

Last, but certainly not least is one of our favorite moments from Real Housewives of Atlanta. After all, who can forget the moment when Kenya Moore turned Marlo Hampton’s wig event into a promotional moment for herself? Kenya went all out, and hired a marching band to crash the event while chanting “Kenya Moore hair care”. This was petty of Kenya, but it will also go down in Real Housewives history as an incredibly iconic moment.
