21. Poop, Real Housewives of Dallas
Did you ever think you'd see a Real Housewives series where poop (fake and real feces) would be a central storyline? The ladies of Dallas battled over a fake poop hat (because, sure, why not) and then over who was spreading a story about LeeAnne Locken pooping in her pants. But she didn't poo her pants, she put it in a bag, allegedly. Whatever happened, LeeAnne was NOT happy and there was more than one outburst, one including threats, but they're not normal threats, she said, because she grew up a carnie.
20. Ramona vs. Jill in Morocco, Real Housewives of New York
You can take the ladies out of New York, but you can't take the drama out of the ladies! The longtime friends and cast mates finally hashed out the drama that erupted when Ramona Singer asked Jill and Bobby Zarin to leave during the third season vacation. "Until you say 'I'm sorry,' we can never be friends!" Jill shouted. Then Ramona sobbed.
19. White Trash, Real Housewives of New York
The girls trip of season five of RHONY was interrupted by a man! Aviva Drescher decided to come down and bring her husband Reid with her—she has a fear of flying—and that didn't sit quite well with Ramonja (Ramona and Sonja Morgan). It all culminated in these memorable lines: "You're both white trash quite frankly." And "Calm down! Take a Xanax!"
18. The First Responders Party, Real Housewives of New Jersey
New cast members Amber Marchese and Nicole Napolitano threw down early in the season over gossip about affairs. There was hair pulling, shouting and drinks went flying. It all ended with a clump of Amber's long mane blowing in the wind.
17. The Dinner Party From Hell, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
This is what happens when you invite e-cigarette smoking medium to your dinner party: You piss off Kyle Richards. Allison DuBois, yes the basis for the Patricia Arquette series Medium, told Kyle she'll never be fulfilled by her husband. The result? A long dinner of everybody yelling at everybody else. Kyle and Camille Grammer's old wounds were reopened and the shouting kept on going.
16. "Pedafile," Real Housewives of New York City
The battle between Carole Radziwill and Luann de Lessps, one part cold war, one part smear campaign, continued over the course of not one, but two seasons. Luann took issue with Carole's relationship with Adam, a private chef hired by Luann who once dated her niece. Luann threw a series of reasons out about why it wasn't OK that Carole was with Adam and then proceeded to try and make everything nice in season eight, but Carole wasn't really having it. It took a few episodes for Luann to actually apologize (not in the form of a what we assume was an alcohol-induced text message when Luann couldn't spell "pedophile") and Carole seemed to warm to the Countess once again, but it remains to be seen whether they can actually come back from all the mudslinging.
15. “I Am Very Rich, Bitch,” Real Housewives of Atlanta
NeNe and Sheree got into it over…something? NeNe Leakes said she heard Sheree Whitfield was telling people she took money out of her pocket. The two called people on speaker phones—NeNe's former assistant and Tyrone a promoter—to try and work everything out. NeNe got the Trump check!
14. The Christening, Real Housewives of New Jersey
A holy occasion erupted into a family battle after Teresa Giudice and her brother got into it. Then the Joes (Joe Gorga and Joe Giudice) got into it. It was a true family affair with cousins, parents and more people getting into the chaos.
13. Joe vs. Joe, Real Housewives of New Jersey
The Joes went at it again during the fifth season of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Shoes came flying off, hair spray (?) got rubbed off and ladies went running when Gorga and Giudice got into while trying to heal their family. Now? The two have laughed it off, but it was one of the more intense brawls.
12. The Country Club, Real Housewives of New Jersey
The chase around the country club in season two didn't have as many thrown tables, but it did give us: "Is bitch better?" and "I'm from Patterson, bitch." ‘Nuff said. To top it off, Jacqueline Laurita's daughter got in on the action and pulled Danielle Staub's weave. Love and light, folks.
11. Jill vs. Bethenny, Real Housewives of New York
The former best friends had one big falling out, all in front of the cameras. Depending on who you believe, it all started when Jill told other Real Housewives of New York City cast members not to film with Bethenny Frankel because she was getting a spinoff. Or because Bethenny didn't do enough for Jill and Bobby during Bobby's cancer battle. Legend goes that Jill planted stories about Bethenny in the press, to which Bethenny told Jill to get a hobby. From there, it was all down hill and they were "done" after a season-long battle.
10. Adriana vs. Joanna, Real Housewives of Miami
Joe Francis, huh? The two got heated in an argument, and when Adriana De Moura tried to walk away, Joanna Krupa followed, and got socked in the face. People yelled, clothes stretched out. Things went down.
9. #Bookgate, Real Housewives of New York
Season six of Real Housewives of New York City started off with a bang. Aviva got a book deal and started telling people she heard Carole Radziwill (the author of New York Times bestseller What Remains) used a ghostwriter for her memoir. Things exploded at Aviva's housewarming party and haven't calmed down since. The two got into many arguments over the gossip, swept the other ladies up in it, and still don't seem to have mended fences.
8. The Battle of Scary Island, Real Housewives of New York
"Go to sleep!" Kelly Bensimon and her jellybeans really got into it with Bethenny on the "relaxing" island getaway. From the she's a cook, not a chef and assertion Bethenny was going to kill her...it was a trip to remember.
7. The Wig Snatch, Real Housewives of Atlanta
Don't mess with Sheree. In this early RHOA fight, Kim Zolciak, NeNe and Sheree got into it on the street (with Michael Lohan!?) after a dinner to try and get everything out in the open. The street argument escalating when Sheree grabbed Kim's wig. The rest is history.
6. Game Night, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
What, your game nights don't devolve into shouting matches and nasty allegations? Just the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? It was Brandi's fiery introduction to the reality series. Brandi accused Kim Richards of using drugs again ("At least I don't do crystal meth in the bathroom all night long, bitch") and the Richards sisters attacked Brandi ("You're a slut pig."). Fingers were pointed, eff bombs were thrown, tears were shed.
5. Who Gon’ Check Me, Boo? Real Housewives of Atlanta
Another Sheree moment. When her party planner failed to live up to her expectations—she didn't meet the poet who was set to write her a poem, among other things—Sheree's famed catchphrase (it became a single) was born.
4. The Richards Sisters, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Season one of RHOBH saw the Richards sisters turn on one another in the back of a car. Kim said she didn't trust Kyle because she stole her house (?) and Kyle called Kim out on her alcoholism.
3. The Reunion Brawl, Real Housewives of Atlanta
The season six reunion of Real Housewives of Atlanta erupted when Kenya Moore made allegations that Porsha Williams cheated on her now ex-husband. This, and Kenya's use of props, including a bullhorn (giant eyeroll) sent Porsha into a fit of rage. She pulled Kenya to the floor by her hair and the two had to be forcibly separated and Porsha was asked to leave for the remainder of the reunion. Kenya filed a police report and Porsha was arrested on battery allegations.
2. The Table Flip, Real Housewives of New Jersey
After a season of distrust and gossip, this was one of the biggest blowups between the Real Housewives of New Jersey stars and that's saying something. It all started when Danielle sat down for dinner and brought out the book. Yes, the book. Teresa went off. Tables were flipped, expletives were shouted, and people were restrained. It was the moment that launched the show to international heights, and therefore takes our No. 1 spot.
1. "Never go after my f—ing husband!" Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Ladies and gentlemen, what happened between Kim Richards, Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson in Amsterdam? It was just nuts. Kim spoke with such venom, calling Eileen a beast and attacking her physical appearance. Then she threatened to reveal some unknown secret about Lisa's family and marriage to Harry Hamlin. This set Lisa off, who was previously apologetic to Kim for raising concerns about her sobriety, and she lunged for Kim's neck. Then she tossed wine. Then the wine glass, shattering it on the table. "Never go after my f—ing husband!" Lisa yelled. Kyle Richards went running and the ladies left standing were in shock and tears.
Yes, The Real Housewives of New Jersey table flip is iconic, but this RHOBH moment was shocking, intense and unpredictable.
