Best Moments
The Birthday Brat
In Season 1, Episode 1, Karen Huger arrives late to her birthday dinner and everyone is already seated at the booth. After Gizelle didn't automatically move to let Karen sit in the middle, Karen became angry with Gizelle. The next time Karen saw Gizelle, Karen gave her a framed list of the rules of etiquette, one of the rules being that the birthday girl should always get the middle seat. This scene set tone for the show by getting the audience interested in conflict even in episode 1 of the first season.
The Winery
In Season 5, episodes 8 and 9, the ladies went to a winery to celebrate Gizelle being nominated for a literary award. Because it's mid-season, tensions are higher than normal especially between Monique and Candiace. They were like sisters for a while but grew apart and grew upset with each other. At the winery, Monique got frustrated with Candiace taunting her a little bit and a physical altercation occurred. All the ladies were in shock and Ashley was in the bathroom the entire time the fight was going on.
The Grande Dame
Karen Huger has been through a lot on the show. She's shown her family life, her finding out about her husband’s tax issues, and then last year we saw her face charges for a DUI after she crashed a car into a tree. The police officer's bodycam captured the footage of the arrest, and it went viral in the Bravo world. Karen was recently released and sat down with Andy Cohen to talk about her addiction issues and where she's at now. The video she left for the ladies before going to jail shows her thanking lots of the women but not Wendy who was arguably there for her the most.
Andy Cohen's Most Iconic Quotes
Cohen is the host of every Real Housewives reunion
"In the case of 'The Housewives,' I call the 'Housewives' sociology of the rich. I think it's just fun to watch. It's guilt-free gossiping that you can have. It's like the modern-day soap opera, in my mind."
"I'd like to think that if he were alive today, Warhol would be painting the housewives."
