40 of the Most Dramatic Reality TV Feuds *Ever*

Countess Luann and Alex "Lives in Brooklyn" McCord had drama throughout Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but their most iconic showdown came when Luann insulted Alex's Louis Vuitton shoes with this fourth-degree burn: "Even Louis Vuitton makes mistakes."

On top of calling Kathryn an "egg donor," Ashley said Kathryn's kids with Thomas Ravenel (who Kathryn was dating at the time) "weren't planned on" during an absolutely explosive fight. Hard to come back from that, tbh.

Despite starting Real Housewives of New York as close friends, Bethenny and Jill had a huge blowout in season three, when Bethenny infamously told Jill to "get a hobby." Jill went on to call Bethenny a "nobody" who "couldn't sell a cupcake in a grocery store."

Bethenny and Kelly never got along on RHONY, but things reached their peak when, during "Scary Island," Kelly said, "She's not a chef, she's a cook," and claimed Bethenny was "trying to kill her." Bethenny, meanwhile, called Kelly "cuckoo for cocoa puffs" and screamed "GO TO SLEEP."

I mean, anyone else remember when Blac Chyna sued the Kardashians for defamation and for interfering with her reality TV contract? Truly wild times, which were inevitably covered on The Kardashians in a truly meta moment.

Things blew up between these two during Real Housewives of Potomac season seven, when Gizelle implied on camera that Candiace's husband made her uncomfortable during a private convo. When Gizelle brought up her concerns with Candiace, Candiace walked off camera and said, "If it's going to be about maligning my fucking husband, you don't want me here."

Candiace and Monique's friendship blew up a when Monique claimed Candiace was spreading rumors about her love life (specifically, a rumor that Monique was sleeping with her trainer) and things got physical. As in, they had a straight-up physical fight on camera.

This feud reached its deranged peak when Carl planned his proposal to Lindsay and made the mistake of not giving Danielle a heads up, which she took....extremely personally. Like...weeping all over the house in dismay, could barely pretend to be happy at the engagement party...personally.

I mean, I think we all know what Lauren and Heidi's feud was about. The man, the myth, the hummingbird-loving, crystal collecting legend that is Spencer Pratt. And who could possibly forget the exact words Lauren is shouting here? ("YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!")

Vibes between James Kennedy and Tom Schwartz got super tense, thanks to Schwartz kissing James's ex, Raquel Leviss, in Vegas—but James really lost it with the Toms during Scandoval. And when we say "lost it," we mean he called Tom a "poo poo head" and a "worm with a mustache." Not even Shakespeare could come up with that prose!

For the most part, Lauren and Kristin's drama was about–what else?—a guy. (I mean, they were rival high school popular girls, after all.) And not just any guy. THE Stephen Colletti. (I should note that they did squash their beef–and even exchanged apologies!—on Kristin and Stephen's Back to the Beach podcast in 2022.)

Yes, I am aware that Taylor Swift isn't on, nor has she ever been on, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. But her feud with Kim (which was really about her feud with Kanye, let's be honest) occupied *several* episodes and, therefore, counts. Leave it up to Tay to be the main character even when she's not even on a show!

I mean, for starters, Kim told Kourt she's the "least interesting to look at." But who could forget when they got into a physical brawl and they left a foundation stain on poor Khloé's wall?

Kim and Kourtney's most recent feud involves Kourtney accusing Kim of stealing her ~wedding vibes~ by doing a collection with Dolce & Gabbana? Followed by Kim saying that Kourt stole her "wedding country." I...want to relate, but...I simply cannot.

Lisa and Kyle were friends for a full decade, but everything changed when Kyle accused Lisa of leaking a story to the press, saying Dorit's adopted dog had ended up at a kill shelter. Lisa—who was dubbed a "puppet master"—couldn't get over the betrayal and left the show. Also, we can't forget Ken yelling “GOODBYE KYLE” while holding the no-longer-living legend known as Giggy.

Truly shocked that it's taken us this long to arrive at Real Housewives of New Jersey, but here we are! For the uninitiated, Teresa and Melissa are sisters-in-law (Melissa is married to Teresa's brother, Joe Gorga), and they've been beefing for years. Over the seasons, Teresa has accused Melissa of being a "gold digger," speculated about her being a former stripper, and excluded Melissa from her wedding party. Meanwhile, Melissa didn't attend Teresa's wedding or send a gift. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Paris and Nicole had major drama in 2005, and the rumor was that Nicole had screened Paris's sex tape at a party. But they got over it and are currently relationship status: sliving.

We'd be here forever if we detailed every Jersey Shore feud, but as far as this one goes: TLDR, Snooki called Angelina "sloppy seconds" when she hooked up with Vinny Guadagnino and then they had a physical fight that led to Angelina leaving the show. They eventually made up, only to have the vibes once again killed when Snooki gave an infamous bridesmaid speech with Jwoww, calling Angelina "the fly to our sh*t" and "the throw-up to our hangover."

Let's see! During season one, Teresa flipped a table and called Danielle a "prostitution whore." They somehow managed to make up and become friends after this, but things got dramatic again when Teresa freaked out at Danielle for revealing that Teresa had told her to pull Margaret Joseph's ponytail.

P.S. I realize the past few sentences have been...a lot...but legitimately, there's no other way to describe it.

I mean, they're sisters, so it's complicated, but nothing beats Kim and Kyle's blowout fight in the limo, wherein Kim screamed, "You stole my goddamn house, Kyle." Which, you can buy written a shirt over on Etsy if you're feeling inspired.
