18. Dorinda saying ‘Clip, Clip, Clip’ – Real Housewives of New York
You can always count on Dorinda Medley to escalate a situation. In Season 9, the women were having lunch in the Bronx when Sonja Morgan mentioned Dorinda’s alleged involvement in her controversial business Tipsy Girl.

17. Winter/Spring/Summer She By Shereé – Real Housewives of Atlanta
Shereé Whitfield’s commitment to not committing to her clothing line “She By Shereé” never fails to make me laugh. The RHOA star could not get the business off the ground and had to keep delaying the launch. She postponed the launch so many times that it became an inside joke among Bravo fans. At an RHOA reunion, Andy Cohen asked when fans could expect the line to come out and Sheree gave about three answers, telling him it may be spring, summer, or fall.

Unfortunately, the mic was not off, and it picked up everything she said. In the two-minute rant, she accused Meredith of cheating on her husband and called her a whore multiple times. Yeah, that will ruin a friendship.
