Every 'Real Housewives' franchise has a repository of fights that are in equal parts horrifying and entertaining. Keep reading to know the top 5 fights which we witnessed on these franchises.
1. Monique Samuels pulls Candiace Dillard Bassett by her weave
'Real Housewives of Potomac' stars – Monique Samuels and Candiace Dillard Bassett have always been great friends. But season 5 of the franchise saw Monique turning her back on Candiace after learning that the former Miss USA invited former housewife Charrisse Jackson Jordan to one of her parties. Monique felt betrayed by Candiace, and ever since then she took every opportunity available to throw snide remarks at her former friend, and at one point things got so bad that Monique got all physical and dragged Candiace across the room by her weave. The other housewives watched Monique in horror while trying to stop her from hurting Candiace. Finally, the producers had to intervene and pull both the ladies away from each other. Monique made things worse by declaring that she had no remorse over her actions and claimed that Candiace was "asking for it".
2. Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump's fallout over 'puppygate'
Season 9 of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' shocked fans when they saw the longstanding friendship between OG housewives- Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump go up in flames, thanks to the infamous puppygate scandal. It all began when Dorit Kemsley adopted a puppy named Lucy from Lisa Vanderpump's rescue shelter. Dorit later gave away the puppy to someone else, after Lucy reportedly bit her daughter, Phoenix. The new owner of Lucy wasn't up for her either, and they sent her away to some other shelter. Those shelter authorities called up Lisa Vanderpump's rescue organization and reported that they had Lucy with them. While Lucy managed to make it back safely, things between Lisa Vanderpump and her fellow housewives went south. The housewives, especially Kyle Richards, felt that Lisa Vanderpump was leaking news to the press and blogs. Kyle's accusations not only resulted in the end of their decades-long friendship but also the 'SUR' owner quitting the show.
3. Porsha Williams drags Kenya Moore across the floor
'Real Housewives' reunions are never easy, the emotions are running high, and everybody is charged for a fight. But no reunion comes to close 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 6 reunion. Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore just couldn't see eye to eye during the entire reunion. Porsha was so annoyed by Kenya that she jumped over her fellow housewife, and dragged her by her hair across the floor. The show's executive producer and the host of the reunion- Andy Cohen watched the ladies in shock and tried his best to stop them. After the fight, Porsha was sent home, but Kenya wasn't satisfied, so she pressed charges against Porsha. Porsha even earned a mugshot thanks to the fight.
4. Bethenny Frankel tells LuAnn that 'Life is not a cabaret'
Bethenny Frankel lost her temper and broke down during a fight with her fellow housewife- LuAnn de Lesseps during Season 11 of 'Real Housewives of New York City'. LuAnn, who was beginning to taste success in her new career as a cabaret performer, began letting her growing fame and popularity get to her head, much to her fellow housewives' dismay. When the housewives tried expressing to LuAnn that they felt neglected as a friend by her, she was totally indifferent to it. This triggered Bethenny enough to tell off LuAnn in one of the most memorable and gut-wrenching scenes of 'RHONY'.
5. Teresa Giudice flips a restaurant table
Teresa Giudice presented one of the most iconic scenes of the 'Real Housewives' franchise during the very first season of 'Real Housewives of New Jersey'. By now, we all know that the OG housewife has a bad temper, but we got a peek of it when she lost it at her fellow housewife- Danielle Staub while dining at a restaurant. In a fit of temper, Teresa angrily lifted the table they were all dining on and flipped it, before angrily yelling and cussing at Danielle. Over the years, Teresa has become a lot more calmer, but we wouldn't be surprised if she brings out the good old Tre once in a while.
