The Most Quotable Real Housewives

(Photo by Greg Doherty/Bravo via Getty Images)

The Real Housewives have a lot to say. Always. Like, they never stop. However, their ability to engage in verbal tirades ensures that they’ll remain on-air for additional seasons, so, we get it. Regardless, being witty and fast is a skill that can’t be learned. Despite this, several ladies actually arrived to Bravo with this skill fully realized. Their words quickly became iconic, as not only were they relatable, they were also funny. Here are our picks for the most quotable Real Housewives, past and present.

Bethenny Frankel

Bethenny Frankel‘s time on Real Housewives of New York saw her delivering many quotable lines, especially when angry. Now, as we all know, Bethenny is currently not on Bravo. She’s instead fighting the network, and Andy Cohen, in an effort to unionize reality television stars. Yet, just recently at a party, Bethenny saw Andy from afar, confusingly labeling it as a “sentimental” time seeing her former “charming” boss.

Despite her conflicting narratives, Bethenny’s quips on RHONY were always straight to the point. “Go to sleep!” was one, as was “life is not a cabaret,” and “mention it all!” Bethenny aimed two of these at Ramona Singer, which we loved, because Ramona needed to be knocked down several pegs. To date, Bethenny’s infamous one-liners on Real Housewives are still re-shared, as they are just that quotable.

Luann de Lesseps

Luann de Lesseps was just as witty on RHONY as Bethenny. No matter what, Luann’s lines were almost always memorable, even when they arrived following a heartbreak. Case in point, when it was revealed that her ex, Tom D’Agostino, was cheating, Luann text-talked a line that is still used like crazy these days. “How could you do that to me question mark?” she typed aloud.

“I’ve been traveling. I’ve been to prison…” is another, and even though most people couldn’t relate to the prison aspect, Luann’s exhausted statement still resonated, as life is indeed tiring. However, when defending her vacation hook up, Luann once exclaimed “Be cool, don’t be all like, uncool,” and at this, we died, because let this woman live, y’all. Overall, this line has become the most repeated quote from Luann’s time spent as a Real Housewives star.

Shereé Whitfield

During Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 2, Shereé Whitfield delivered an instantly iconic quote. As for the backstory, Shereé hired Anthony Shorter, an event planner, to throw her divorce party. Anthony and Shereé didn’t gel, and when they met up, Anthony grew frustrated. Here, he provoked Shereé by saying, “You better be careful who you’re talking to before you get checked.”

Still wearing her sunglasses inside, and sans any beats missed, she quickly shot back. “Who gon’ check me, boo?” Shereé replied, causing Anthony to briefly stammer. As for Shereé now, she’s likely wearing her “joggers” over to Kenya Moore’s house, to see if her other quotable line of “you need to do trim,” has been applied yet. Truly, with her level of shade, Shereé is a highly quotable Real Housewives star.

NeNe Leakes

NeNe Leakes joined RHOA in Season 1. In our opinion, she quickly rose to fame as one of the most quotable Real Housewives in the entire franchise. No matter what text lies in your phone awaiting your response, NeNe has you covered, as her clapbacks have been made into countless memes and useable audios on TikTok. Basically, NeNe’s words are gold.

As for our favorites of NeNe’s many quips, “I said what I said,” is pretty high up there. This line was spoken during the Season 6 reunion, where NeNe found herself at odds with Kandi Burruss. During this same filming, NeNe also clashed with Kenya, and she began repeating the words “So nasty and so rude” to her colleague. Kenya was all of us here though when she smiled, because even though NeNe’s heat was aimed at her, it was hard not to laugh over NeNe’s hysterical delivery.

There’s more though. “Keep your legs closed to married men!” and “Okay, girl. Bye,” also deserve a place here. As does “Bye wig” and “Bloop!” Basically, NeNe’s quotable reactions to her Real Housewives costars are all amazing, and we low-key want NeNe back, and stat.

Vicki Gunvalson

Vicki Gunvalson starred on Real Housewives of Orange County Season 1, where she remained until Season 13. Here, Vicki’s demotion came, and her screen time on RHOC began arriving in various limited-capacity showings. With some shady storylines, there’s no denying that Vicki was polarizing. However, love her or leave her, Vicki did offer up several memorable quotes.

“I’m being nailed to the cross like Jesus was,” and “if I die right now, tell them she died sad,” are two of Vicki’s quotes that immediately spring to mind. As does her “whoop it up” line, in addition to her interactions with a local car company, who had sent a small van to her home in order to transport her family to the airport. ”You have a little family van!” Vicki yelled, while we all laughed on our couches. For her storylines, Vicki was a bust, so send her a casserole to cry in, but, as for her quotable Real Housewives moments, well, Vicki typically delivered.

Teresa Giudice

Even when Teresa Giudice misspeaks on Real Housewives of New Jersey, her words are memorable. In the Season 1 finale, Teresa yelled at Danielle Staub. “Prostitution whore, engaged 19 times!” later asking Danielle, “Is bitch better?”

In contrast, Teresa once asked “What is it, coomin or come-in?” as “Ingredientses” are hard. We preferred these lighthearted lines though, because hearing Teresa yell things like “I’m gonna f*cking blow my casket” doesn’t land in fights. Perhaps, Teresa will find validation in Season 14 with some of her co-stars, allowing for more of these lighter scenes. If not, she will still likely be adding on to her memorable quotes made on Real Housewives.

How Kody Brown Sabotaged His Marriage To Robyn

It seems odd that the patriarch would admit to upending his beloved relationship when it comes to his fourth and favorite wife, Robyn Brown. But nothing surprises Sister Wives fans about Kody Brown anymore. The father of 18 has easily become one of the most annoying reality TV stars due to his constant victimization and ability to gaslight his first three wives. For years, it has been pretty clear that he has always put Robyn first, but he’s spoken out of turn, giving fans cause for concern. 

Kody Is Still Mourning

The Sister Wives Season 18 Tell All showed Kody still very much confused about how he ended up with only one wife. I mean, it is common sense that you don’t go about under appreciating your wives and assume they will stay with you forever. But evidently, this is what Kody thought would happen. Sobbin’ Robyn tearfully noted that she is also in “a major place of mourning,” revealing that she and Kody are in such “different places” emotionally. 

Sister Wives fans have watched Kody grow angrier and angrier over the years. The man-child has thrown tantrum after tantrum and even turned on Robyn during Season 18. While she tried to keep a calm head, Kody clearly took her open arms for granted, often bashing the polygamous lifestyle she loves so much. 

Kody Is Sabotaging Love

The collapse of the Brown family has hit everyone hard. But the third installment of the Tell All showed how the 54-year-old tried to deliberately damage his life with Robyn. God only knows why—he is a nut. Kody shared that he isn’t putting effort into his marriage with Robyn, claiming it is “out of frustration and anger” after all three of his first wives called it quits. He then told host Sukanya Krishnan that he wanted to “punish” himself. 

Kody explained, “I thought of myself leaving Robyn and having another lover and looking at this lover and going, ‘I don’t love you. I’m in love with another woman. I’m in love with a woman that I left because I was too much a piece of sh*t to manage the relationship.’ And what it was was just anger, and I’m embarrassed.” 

Kody Has a History of Bad Behavior

Even though Kody has an extremely hard time accepting responsibility for his awful mood swings, he did agree that his erratic emotions led him to his “bad behavior.” And that is putting it mildly. Kody was dramatic as he explained his motives, noting, “These are my demons and that’s like doing something that destroys myself. Christine’s leaving and I’m just angry. So a lot of dark winds were going through me. A lot of devil, a lot of temptation, which would be destructive of my relationship with Robyn.” 

Robyn Almost Called It Quits

Not surprisingly, the 45-year-old wife had it up to here with Kody’s outbursts. The father of 18 revealed, “I dealt with a lot of anger, and she would get frustrated. My anger was a turn-off.” While it is surprising that his anger was the only turn-off for Robyn, it does make sense she didn’t want to become a punching bag.

Kody went on to say, “It was scary. And the dumb thing is—because I’m so honest—I just share everything with her, so I shared stuff with her that was heartbreaking. There are some things in a man’s mind that should never be expressed.”

Robyn Feels Like She Is the Heroine

Kody’s sainted wife broke down in tears when it came to her separate interview on the subject. No one has ever believed for a second that Robyn wanted a happy plural family, but she began to sob as she addressed her husband’s habit of sabotaging, saying, “He tries to. I have to stop him all the time.” It turns out Robyn started to experience what the first three wives had as Kody began picking fights over dumb stuff.

Able to finally compose herself, Robyn admitted, “We’re in different places. Sorry, we’re in different places about the bomb that went off on our family. And like, I’m in a major place of mourning, and he’s angry, and he doesn’t want to… He just wants to just go find whatever, you know? And I’m like, no, I can’t feel like that.” For now, Robyn has decided to stick it out with Kody, but only time can tell if they really are soulmates and dropping a bomb in the family was worth it.

Dorit Kemsley’s Most Clueless Moments

For a long time, since Season 7, Dorit Kemsley has been sticking her foot in her mouth and finding herself in many sticky situations. Between her fake accent and ability to please people, fans of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills weren’t convinced they were going to like the newbie. However, somewhere along the lines, she changed viewers’ minds. But RHOBH Season 13 is once again showing everything fans detested about the mother of two, including her privilege and her inability to learn from her mistakes. 

Dorit’s Unconscious Karen Behavior

As Garcelle Beauvais pointed out in a recent episode, there is a pattern with Dorit when it comes to inadvertently or purposefully using words that are known to trigger certain ethnic groups. During the conversation, the Coming to America star noted, “There are certain words when you point them at me it has a completely different impact. There are three words you don’t say to Black women. You don’t say aggressive, you don’t say attack, and you don’t say angry because that’s labeling us.” During a group gathering, Dorit used the word “attacked” when speaking to Garcelle. The actress wasn’t standing for the disrespect

Garcelle explained, “What I feel is there’s a pattern with you that I don’t know whether you’re aware or not, but I’m just going to be completely blunt: it feels like an unconscious Karen behavior with you.” While staring at her untouched salad, Dorit decided to respond instead of digesting the feedback, telling her friend, “Just for the record, I didn’t attack you, we were having a conversation.” Dorit’s lack of accountability is really going to end up biting her in the ass. 

Dorit’s Inappropriate Laughter

During Season 12, Garcelle’s sons had a major part in the series as they kept popping up, but during an event, Erika Jayne took it upon herself to drunkenly curse at Jax, who was only 15 at the time. The entire moment was upsetting, but when retelling the story to her husband, PK Kemsley, and Mauricio Umansky, Dorit was caught laughing at the moment. Bravo cameras caught them laughing at the whole scenario during a dinner. 

Even though Garcelle shared how upset she was by the scene, it took a lot for Dorit to apologize. Clueless to the mother of three’s annoyance, Dorit stood firm, noting that she wasn’t laughing at Jax being yelled at but rather how drunk Erika was. Semantics Dorit, semantics. 

Dorit Explains Her Multicultural Home

In another “what was Dorit thinking” moment, the mother of two once tried to prove that she had a house full of different cultures. However, she only made herself look extremely out of touch with the world around her.

While at a luncheon Dorit shared, “We’ve had a lot of people that have worked for us who are very multicultural. I’ve had a lot of Black and Hispanic and Filipino.” Not missing a beat at the time, Garcelle asked, “But are there brown people only helping at your house?” In an attempt to seem woke, Dorit proudly shared, “No, in fact, my mother’s best friend is Black.”

An exhausted Garcelle could only answer with sarcasm, saying, “Awesome, I just wanted to clarify that.” Dorit couldn’t see how clueless she portrayed herself especially if she thought that her hired staff were her friends. 

Dorit’s Microagression Post

After the Season 13 episode showed her showdown with Garcelle and being told she “lives in a bubble,” Dorit took her to social media to share a post that came across as extremely tone-deaf. In an attempt to take back the narrative, Dorit cluelessly posted a photo of herself with the caption “happily living in my bubble.” Unbeknownst to her, the post didn’t do what she thought it would as fans took aim.

One follower commented, “Respectfully – This comes across as tone deaf, but worse, not caring that you’re tone deaf.” Another added, “It’s giving white victim syndrome.” To add insult to injury, it didn’t go unnoticed that Dorit’s sweatshirt read “90s Supermodel,” meanwhile Garcelle was actually a supermodel in the 90s. It was a two birds-with-one-stone moment, with many believing this should be Dorit’s last season.
