The Most Disastrous Real Housewives Cast Trips

(Photo by: Paul Cheney/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images)

Every year, the Real Housewives of whichever city embark on a one-of-a-kind cast trip. Many of the vacations have been to exotic destinations that included spiritual pools, white sand beaches, and Bravo personalities falling over into bushes. However, sometimes the escape isn’t as serene as the ladies would have hoped, and a tropical paradise can quickly turn into scary island. Something about the change of scenery just makes some Real Housewives go totally unhinged

Hong Kong – RHOBH

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 7 trip was a standout thanks to Erika Jayne‘s emotional freakout on an unknowing Eileen Davidson. The trip was rough from the start, but the scenic dinner overlooking the city was the cherry on top. Erika’s over-the-top table antics include tears and screaming, “You don’t know what I deal with every night!”

Dorit Kemsely was already in hot water with the Pretty Mess singer after causing an argument over Erika flashing her friends and not wearing panties. Could she be any more thirsty? Lisa Rinna had the most absurd attack to date, asking Dorit, “Were people doing coke in your bathroom?” Lisa’s Nancy Drew detective skills led her to ask this question because multiple people got up from the table during a party she had thrown a few weeks prior. No amount of Buddha statues was going to save this trip.

Whistler – RHOC

Leave it to Vicki Gunvalson to make our cousins to the North judge us even more. On what was supposed to be a beautiful trip to Whistler, the slopes turned extra icy thanks to the snow queen herself shouting about her love life. During Season 8, the OG of the OC made it clear why she will always be a powerhouse, even if it ruined a bit of the girl’s trip. Lauri Peterson had been coming for Vicki all season, but she wasn’t going to take it lying down. 

Fans watched as the girls’ trip turned into a mud-slinging fest, complete with neon ski pants. Lauri accused Vicki of having a threesome while she was away at an insurance conference, implying that the usually prude Vicki was well-versed in colorful sexual acts. Vicki responded the only way she knew how—with an avalanche of emotions, yelling, “I HAVE NEVER BEEN WITH MULTIPLE PARTNERS IN MY LIFE!” The outburst will haunt me whenever I venture onto the slopes. 

Morocco – RHONY

The Real Housewives of New York City Season 4 cast trip to Morocco was memorable for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, the amount of times Ramona Singer made rude and uneducated comments was absurd. Ramona was also gifted the gift of foresight as a fortune teller correctly predicted that Mario Singer was cheating on her. Talk about a buzz kill. The trip also wasn’t so great for Luann de Lesseps, who was literally kicked off her camel, not once but twice, because it couldn’t stand her bull anymore. 

I’ll never unhear the Countess’ high-pitched screams. Alex McCord tried her best but still failed to address the Herman Munster comments made by Lu. The exchange became hilarious as Kelly Bensimon demanded that Alex “reenter” the room and be more genuine. There was just no winning for the “buffalo.” Back to Ramona, who had us all riding the Ramonacoaster as she fought it out with Jill Zarin. topped the trip off. 

Columbia – RHONY

The boat ride from hell will go down in infamy among fans of the Real Housewives of New York City. The women of the Big Apple knew how to handle rumors, affairs, and even a catfight or two, but they were not a match for the open seas of Cartegna that tried to spit them out after a harrowing cruise. The trip had two dinner table fights, a drunk Dorinda Medley slurring words, and everyone getting food poisoning, which required Ramona and Sonja Morgan to wear diapers on the flight home. 

Anguilla – RHOA

Season 5 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta gave fans everything on their cast trip to Anguilla. Kenya Moore couldn’t keep it in her pants as she flirted shamelessly with Apollo Nida. Until Phaedra Parks stepped in, it looked as if the beauty queen may have ended up back in his room. There was also a dramatic showdown between Porsha Williams and Kenya, which gave us the iconic “Gone With the Wind fabulous” twirl.

Real Housewives With the Most Debt

The Real Housewives franchise is full of luxury real estate, designer duds, and incredibly over-the-top events. But the dark side of the glamorous lifestyle is even more common, with countless Housewives facing foreclosures, lawsuits, and even jail sentences. Across every city in the franchise, you’ll find that at least a few of the stars neglected to pay their taxes and/or rent.

Having debt in and of itself isn’t surprising in this economy, but the amounts these ladies owe are truly staggering. We’re looking at the Housewives who are the most in the red financially.

Teresa Giudice

Perhaps the poster child of Real Housewives with the most debt, Teresa Giudice has a long history of tax issues. Since 2000, Tre racked up $1 million in tax debt. She claimed that was mostly due to ex-husband Joe Giudice.

It seems old habits die hard, because earlier this year, the Real Housewives of New Jersey OG once again made headlines for owing back taxes. However, Teresa’s attorney issued a statement insisting his client is making a solid effort to pay off her debts. But she still has a long way to go. She even admitted to hoping Joe can come back to the United States to give her a hand financially. And she still surrounds herself with people making questionable financial calls, like her friend and stylist Jennifer PiƱa.

Kim Zolciak

Kim Zolciak and her on-again/off-again husband Kroy Biermann owe so many different debts at this point, it’s hard to keep up. There seems to be a new lawsuit against the former Real Housewives of Atlanta stars every day.

Most recently, Kim and Kroy were sued for over $230K by their bank. They owe at least a million to the IRS. Kim’s gambling addiction surely isn’t helping. Neither is that $30K she just spent on vaginal rejuvenation surgery.

It seems financial trouble runs in the family, because Kim’s eldest daughter, Brielle Biermann, was recently sued by American Express over an unpaid credit card bill.

Kim’s frenemy and former co-star NeNe Leakes also has a history of getting into steep financial trouble. The RHOA alum owed $820k to the IRS in 2016. Recently, it was reported that she owes unpaid rent for her fashion boutique.

Erika Jayne

Erika Jayne seems to be the Real Housewife who currently has the most debt. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s financial woes keep making the news, with estranged husband Tom Girardi owing $101 million.

Erika’s debts include a $25 million lawsuit, in which she was accused of knowingly using Tom’s law firm to fund her lifestyle. Considering she literally has a song called “XXXPENSIVE” and once bragged about spending $40K a month on glam, that seems to check out. And last year, it was reported that Erika owes $2.2 million in taxes. Despite all of her debts, and all of the victims Tom owes money to, Erika’s biggest concern remains her beloved diamond earrings.

Erika’s debt has earned tons of headlines, but she’s not the only RHOBH star with tax trouble. Dorit Kemsley and husband PK, the couple Erika memorably predicted would be the next to split, once owed the IRS $1.3 million.

Jen Shah

Jen Shah‘s legal and financial woes didn’t go away once she started her prison sentence. Over the summer, it was reported that Jen owes her lawyer over $124K in unpaid legal fees and expenses. Jen and husband Sharrieff Shah were reportedly contacted about the fees at least six times before the lawsuit was filed. Neither of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City alums responded.

Karen Huger

Karen Huger and husband Ray “The Black Bill Gates” Huger’s tax issues were a major storyline in Real Housewives of Potomac Season 3. But the RHOP star refused to let that diminish her self-appointed Grand Dame status. As Karen memorably told co-star Robyn Dixon, “you gotta MAKE millions to OWE millions!” Karen and Ray did, indeed, owe millions. According to a 2017 Washington Post article, their debt was at least $1.5 million. A year later, Karen claimed everything was paid off and settled.

Brynn Whitfield

The newest Bravolebrity on our list, Real Housewives of New York reboot star Brynn Whitfield reportedly owes $30,000 in taxes. She was also evicted from a former apartment in 2014 after failing to pay $7,000 in rent. Thankfully, she got to stay in her current pad that RHONY viewers salivated over.

Brynn’s history of falling into debt should further dispute the fan theories about her having sugar daddies. We’ll see if these bad financial habits change now that she’s in the spotlight. But judging from the other Real Housewives with the most debt on this list, fame could only make those problems worse.
