Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise has been serving up drama for almost 20 years, ever since it first hit our screens in 2006.
From iconic feuds to unforgettable alliances, the Housewives know how to bring the mess! With countless seasons and spin-offs, we’ve seen friendships shattered, tables flipped, and shade thrown like never before.
It’s time to dive into the top 10 messiest Housewives in Bravo history. Buckle up, because these ladies know how to make a mess.
You can't mention messy without Tamra Judge. We have watched Tamra Judge go through it ALL, however we've also seen her make a mess of the group dynamics no matter what. Judge also started a podcast with ex-housewife Teddi Mellencamp to create even more of a mess, as if the current season of Orange Countrywas not enough. From her first season on Orange Country to now, Judge has been nothing but consistent in the messy department. This housewife has also given us iconic Bravo moments we will continue to use for years to come.... THAT'S OUR OPINION.
The lips of Beverly Hills, Lisa Rinna. Lets just say, Beverly Hills has never been the same since we lost this one. From throwing a wine glass at Kim Richards in Amsterdam to asking Dorit Kemsley if people do coke in her bathroom.... Rinna had messy on lockdown. There was no shortage on drama during Rinna's run on the show, she had absolutely no filter and was out for blood at all the dinners. We just know not to discuss the husbands when Lisa Rinna is around.
Child, not the white refrigerator hunny. NeNe Leakes, the queen of one liners and shade. Not only did Leakes contribute to the explosion of the Real Housewives, she is one of the most quotable and messy housewives of all time. Nothing was left unsaid when Leakes was around, it was almost a guarantee she was going to read you to filth. No one was safe and definitely not the men, or Kim Zolciak. As Leakes would say "Goodnight Kenya, cause you'll get nothing else from me today. Goodbye. Don't make me call Porsha."
It's insane that anyone could possibly make this list in one season... Well Monica Garcia sweetie, you earned this spot. After ONE season on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Monica Garcia managed to send the entire cast into spiral. While also serving up one of the BEST Housewives seasons. Not only did Garcia have a part in trolling these women from a fake Instagram for years, she showed up and showed out in the fights and helped put Jen Shah in prison. Garcia easily had one of the sickest and messiest runs of Real Housewives.
Bless the mess that is Kenya Moore. Real Housewives of Atlanta was chaos during Kenya's run and just when you thought she calmed down, she continues to shocks us. Moore was set to be back on the Atlanta franchise this season, but in the messiest of fashions was terminated for blasting her castmates private photos at a party. If the bar is in hell, Kenya Moore is going to meet you there. Gone with the wind fabulous of course.
Most of the time when we discuss messiness in the Housewives world, it usually alludes to shady comments and dinner fights. In Teresa Giudice's case, the mess is always physical. After 14 years of Real Housewives of New Jersey, we have watched Giudice flip tables, throw glasses, plates or anything she can find. There is simply no shortage of screaming matches when Giudice is involved. The iconic table flip happened in 2009 during season 1, we made it to season 14 and Guidice is still throwing low blows and tableware, just not the table.... lately at least.
When you slap Lisa Vanderpump across the face and somehow get away with it.... you earn a spot on this list. Brandi Glanville was by far one of the messiest housewives in history. Her feuds with the women were absolute mayhem, and Glanville is a large part of how Vanderpump Rules came to be after her ex slept with a server from SUR. The mess did not stop when Glanville departed from the show either, in recent news she is in a legal battle with Caroline Manzo and the bravo network. To make matters worse, Manzo is suing Glanville for a sexual assault while filming The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.
If the pot is being stirred in Potomac, Gizelle Bryant is the one stirring. Bryant consistently causes tension with the ladies of Potomac, so much so fans have alluded to her acting like a Bravo producer. No ones business is safe when Bryant is around, she WILL be in it. Bryant's relationship also continues to be its own separate mess on the show.
There is no mess in the Bravo world without Bethenny Frankel. Not only was she one of the messiest and loudest on her season, things got even crazier after her run on the network. Frankel has been at war with Bravo's Andy Cohen for years, pushing for reality TV unions and pushing back against all the rumors about herself. The messiest is feud is always going to be the one with Andy Cohen. Both Nene Leakes and Bethenny Frankel know that better than anyone.
After a break from Housewives, Alexis Bellino aka Jesus Jugs officially returned and messier than ever. Unlike the other housewives on the list, Alexis isn't always the loudest in the room. However, in the latest Orange County season Bellino has taken messy to new levels. The housewife is now engaged to castmate Shannon Beadors' ex-boyfriend John Jahnsen. Usually this wouldn't be next level insanity, however Bellino has taken having a new man to levels of messy we have never seen before. From suing her castmates with her ex-husband to blackmailing her castmates with her new fiance... Jesus Jugs can not be stopped.
