News recently broke that Taylor Armstrong would be the first Real Housewives cast member to switch franchises. She started out on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and after leaving the show for a few years, recently returned on Real Housewives of Orange County as a "friend of".
Taylor is known for a viral meme created from a scene in which she was upset with Brandi for defending her late husband, whom Taylor claims was abusive. It was a scene that fans felt Brandi went too far and didn't have a right to dismiss Taylor's claims. Many housewives from the franchise have had similar falling-outs with close friends, such as Vicki and Tamra feuding, or Lisa's hot mic moment.
Tamra and Shannon vs. Kelly
In season 14 of Real Housewives of Orange County, an explosive fight broke out between Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, and Kelly Dodd after an edited video surfaced on social media that turned into a wild misunderstanding. Despite the video being inaccurate, Kelly went to a person who was suing Tamra and Shannon and told him she would be a character witness against the two women.
Both Shannon and Tamra spoke about how terrible this lawsuit has been to them financially and felt that Kelly going to the person who filed the lawsuit against them was the ultimate betrayal and there could be no forgiveness after such an act.
Lisa vs. Kyle
In season 9 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, fans of the show will the heated and heartbreaking fight between longtime friends Kyle and Lisa. After Lisa swore she didn't leak the story about Dorit giving up her dog to a kill shelter, the ladies banded together against Lisa, but Lisa felt betrayed by Kyle more than any of the others.
The final straw with their friendship was when Kyle went to Lisa's to hopefully reconcile, only for it to end with Kyle calling Lisa a liar and Ken kicking Kyle out of their house. After so many years of friendship, it was sad to see their friendship fall apart so fast and so completely.
Kim vs. Nene
Kim and Nene were good friends Real Housewives of Atlanta. Shortly after season 1 began filming, Nene started questioning Kim's relationship with "Big Poppa" who she said was still married. Things came to a head during the season 1 reunion where Nene told Kim to "close your legs to married men" repeatedly.
Their feud lasted for years, and after Kim returned for season 10, the battle continued after Nene accused Kim and her daughter Brielle of being racist. The pair have since made up after Kim sent Nene a gift after learning that Nene's husband was diagnosed with cancer.
Bethenny vs. Ramona
While Bethenny and Ramona were on-again-off-again friends, there's one fight between the two that really stands out as a betrayal. In season 3 of Real Housewives of New York City, Bethenny and Ramona were talking a walk together and Ramona unleashed her "singer stinger" by telling Bethenny that she's ruined every relationship she's had and will probably ruin her current relationship and die alone.
After a comment like that from a supposed friend, it's incredible that Bethenny ever forgave her. Luckily Bethenny is a strong person and didn't take her comment to heart, but was shocked and at a loss for words nonetheless.
Bethenny vs. Jill
Bethenny and Jill were the best of friends early on in Real Housewives of New York City. It was distressing to see them have such a public and long-lasting falling out in season 3. The feud started after Bethenny accused Jill of being jealous of her success with her Skinnygirl company. Jill retorted that Bethenny wasn't being ive enough of her husband Bobby's cancer scare.
With the two being so close and the accusations being so close to the heart, it's hard for this fight to not feel like a betrayal, especially as neither one was able to come forward and apologize or take the high road. Years later, after Jill's husband died of cancer, Bethenny went to the funeral, but their friendship was never the same.
Lisa vs. Meredith
Lisa and Meredith's fight from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City was made worse by a hot mic and the awful things Lisa was caught saying. The feud started after Lisa called into question the details about Meredith's father's memorial service.
The fight didn't stop there, after Lisa had a hot mic and was overheard saying an expletive-filled rant about Meredith which altered their friendship permanently. Some of the insults Lisa used are inexcusable and, even if she apologized, it would be hard to trust Lisa again knowing how she really feels.
Vicki vs. Tamra
Throughout many seasons of RHOC Vicki and Tamra have been at the center of some of the most explosive fights. Through it all they have maintained their friendship, but they have had to work hard to forgive each other. They would go for the throat when they felt backed into a corner, such as during the season 7 reunion when Tamra accused Vicki of cheating on Donn, and Vicki fired back that Tamra was seeing Eddie while she was still married.
The fights didn't stop there and often revolved around the men that Vicki was seeing, most notably, Brooks. Tamra had already been vocal about disliking him, but things came to a head when speculation started about Brooks faking his cancer. Many of the RHOC cast felt that Vicki knew he wasn't being truthful, but she maintains she had no idea.
Kyle vs. Kim
From the time that Kim ed the cast of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she and Kyle's relationship was on the rocks. There were moments where they came together, such as when Brandi accused Kim of doing drugs in the bathroom, however, their past issues would always bubble up.
Their worst fight came during a party at Taylor's and, after Kim got upset with Kyle, they went into her limo and all of their issues come to the surface. Kim alleged that Kyle "stole her house" while Kyle spit back that Kim was a "liar and an alcoholic". They both felt immense pain, with Kyle feeling like she's helped Kim later in life, while Kim felt like she ed Kyle and the rest of the family in her youth.
Melissa Vs. Teresa
Teresa and her now-husband Luis just celebrated their wedding this past July, but many people noticed that Melissa and Joe Gorga were not in attendance. According to Teresa helped spread rumors about Melissa and Joe's marriage while filming season 13 of RHONJ.
The two women have had a rocky relationship from the get-go, but have continued to try to make their relationship better for the sake of their family. It seems as though their relationship is destined for trouble. Melissa said the things Teresa about her marriage was the "ultimate betrayal" which is ultimately why she and Joe did not attend the wedding.
Lea vs. Adriana
Lea Black and Adriana de Moura of Real Housewives of Miami had an epic falling out in season 3. The two were extremely close until Lea started telling people that Adriana had "used her for money" (via E News) and helped her for seven years.
Adriana said she felt very hurt by Lea's actions and felt like they had never really been friends since it was so easy for Lea to turn on her. Adriana claimed that Lea attacked her simply to have a storyline, which felt like the ultimate betrayal and shows a true lack of loyalty.
