Remembering the best besties of Real Housewives
A look back at some of the best Dream Teams on Housewives. Which friendship do you miss the most?
Lisa Vanderpump and Brandi Glanville
These two were the dynamic duo of RHOBH. Lisa was the rich wisecracker and Brandi was the poor firecracker. Brandi and Lisa had very similar inappropriate personalities but as time went on Brandi felt like she became Lisas puppet and Lisa thought that Brandi was tarnishing her reputation. The two ended up going their seperate ways with Brandi wanting her Queen V. back, they were on a decent track to becoming good associates again until the light slap heard around Beverly Hills had everything crumble. The two are no longer on speaking terms.
NeNe Leaks and Kim Zolzciak
Wig! and Moose! NeNe and Kim were best gal pals when RHOA first started, they always had a good time together but with Kim wanting to become a one hit wonder and NeNe being a drunk mess one night led to NeNe blasting Kims singing dreams which would lead the two to falling out. They would make up and break up which lead to the most memorable shade and read moments that would make NeNe a star. Things seemed to die when NeNe accused Kim of being a slave driver and allegedly choking her off screen.
The two have made up again when due to Kim leaving the franchise and they now have their own spin off together!
Bethenny Frankel and Jill Zarin
Bethenny and Jill were like the tamer version of Vanderpump&Glanville, Bethenny was the wise cracking underdog while Jill was the fabulous married Jew with everything that Bethenny had desired to have in her life. As time went on Bethennys star started to rise and the power shift between the two lead to them growing apart. Due to Bethenny getting everything she had wanted out of life, Jill was no longer one of her focuses. 3 little words would help lead to the demise of their friendship, Find. A. Hobby. oh and Bethenny not calling Bawby in the hospital. Jill would attempt to repair the damanged friendship by showing up to Scary Island but nothing good came out of it. The two are now back to being associates.
Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Barney
These two boozy blondes knew how to have a good time, they would drink together, team up and hate on newbies together, they were like the OC version of Thelma and Louise. While Vicki had no problem voicing her concerns for Tamras marriage, no one dare voice their concerns for Vickis new boyfriend, Brooks. With Vickis love tank full again, Vicki did not take well to people critizing her boyfriend which lead to Vicki & Tamra falling out. The two would attempt to repair their damaged friendship but they couldn't get back on the sisterly level they had at one time. Now the two are more or less frenemies who have no problem throwing the other one under the bus.
Cynthia Bailey and NeNe Leaks
With NeNe Leaks constantly on the outs with Kim Z. she needed a new bestie, enter Cynthia Bailey. These two would become so close that they considered each other sisters and even lead to a friendship contract. They were always on the same level with one another, Cynthia would back up NeNe on anything and everything. But like all good things, even this friendship had to come to an end. NeNe would end up disprespecting Cynthias husband by calling him bitch for speaking out of turn which was not part of their friendship contract. Due to the two no longer speaking, NeNe was on the war path tearing Cynthia down any chance she got, which lead to Cynthia finally trying to find her own voice.
Honorable Mentions
Vicki and Jeana
They were the OG Housewives that started everything. They were bffs but they mixed friendship with buisness which lead to their falling out. The two have recenetly become associates again after not speaking to one another for a time being.
Kandi and Kim
Don't be Tardy to this friendship! With Kim and NeNe always going through their dysfunctional friendship, it was time for Kim to move on and she found friendship within Kandi Burruss. But one hit single later lead to the two falling out and ending up in court. Kim loving her money was not willing to split the financial gain she got from her hit single Don't Be Tardy To The Party that Kandi helped produced. Kim also ended up allegedy stealing Kandis baby name! The two no longer speak.
Gold Digger and Jesus Jugs
These two new OC blondes both faced the wrath of Vicki & Tamra for years but then something weird happened. Tamra became friends with Gretchen and Vicki became friends with Alexis, enter the twilight zone. Alexis thought Tamra influenced Gretchen in the wrong way and thought that Gretchen no longer stood up for her which lead to them departing ways and leaving Gretchen alone as her friendship with Tamra broke down.
Lisa and Kyle
They were best of friends at the beginning of RHOBH but that friendship quickly fizzled when Lisa felt like Kyle never stood up for her and was only interested in finding her husbands listings. While Lisa vowed she would never be friends again with Kyle, the two found a mutual hatred in Brandi Glanville that revitalized their friendship that they had tried many times before jumping starting.
Danielle and Jacqueline
These two Housewives were besties for what seemed like a hot second. They were so good of friends that Jacqueline defended crazy Danielle to her two sister in-laws which almost caused a major riff in the family. But season 2 would have the two become enemies with Jacqs daughter attacking Danielle and pulling out her hair.
