Bravo Bombshells! The Most Outrageous ‘Real Housewives’ Moments Of 2019

Cheating, quitting, demotions, drinking and divorce!

Bravo’s Real Housewives had their most outrageous year ever in 2019.

RadarOnline.com caught Teresa Giudice with her hunky boy toy, Blake Schreck, during a steamy secret getaway to Miami. He is a whopping 20 years younger than the Real Housewives of New Jersey star and was in his first year of business school at New York University when they were busted together.

A source confirmed to RadarOnline.com that Teresa and her husband Joe Giudice separated in December after 20 years of marriage. His daughters visited him in Italy without their mother over their Christmas vacation.

The OG of the OC Vicki Gunvalson was shockingly demoted on the Real Housewives of Orange County. Slashing her $1 million salary, producers took away her orange and made her a “friend” of the show after she appeared in the premiere episode in 2006.

Both Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump quit their respective shows.

Bethenny left after taking a lucrative production deal, ending her reign as the top boss in the Big Apple.

Lisa’s departure was much more dramatic – Puppygate ended her run on RHOBH after a brutal season of fighting with the ladies.

Kenya Moore returned to the Real Housewives of Atlanta with a vengeance but ultimately revealed that she was getting a divorce from Marc Daly after only two years of marriage.

Porsha Williams caught her fiancé Dennis McKinley cheating on her and broke up with him after she found out. The RHOA star gave birth to their daughter, Pilar Jhena, on March 22, and it was shortly after that when she found out he was not being faithful. “We had a rough pregnancy, all the way from start to finish,” he said on the show during a counseling session. “Sex during pregnancy, it’s nothing what a man wants to do … and after PJ got here, postpartum was very real. We cried together like every night. That’s not a good enough why, but that’s the why." The couple were living apart but co-parenting their child. RadarOnline.com exclusively reported that the couple made up and he re-proposed to her on August 2 in Toronto with Bravo cameras rolling. Dennis gave Porsha back her $750,000 ring and she was planning a summer 2020 wedding.

"They looked really into each other," a spywitness told RadarOnline.com exclusively about the RHONJ star, 47, and Blake, 27, during their secret getaway to Miami in February. The cozy couple were snapped locking hands after a charity event that she headlined. Her attorney insisted they were just “friends,” after RadarOnline.com published the photos.

Teresa and Blake spent the long weekend in Miami together, getting cozy at restaurants and nightclubs and even brazenly hit the beach together. Her husband Joe was locked in a federal prison while his wife frolicked on the beach with Blake during the steamy tryst. Blake is a neighbor of the Giudice family, living in Totowa, New Jersey, just nine miles away from her multi-million-dollar mansion.

Juicy Joe was released from federal prison in March but was immediately moved to an ICE detention center after a judge ordered him to be deported from the United States. RadarOnline.com exclusively reported that he begged a judge to allow him to return home to New Jersey as his appeal was considered. The request was denied, and instead, Joe left the ICE detention center and moved to Italy as he awaited his appeal. His daughters and Teresa visited him in November and the girls returned to Italy without their mother for Christmas.

Bethenny announced she was quitting RHONY in August 2019. “I have decided to leave the ‘Housewives’ franchise to explore my next chapter,” she said in a statement at the time. “It’s time to move on and focus on my daughter, my philanthropy and my production partnership with Mark Burnett, producing and starring in shows which represent a shift in the conversation for women.” She inked a multi-year deal with MGM and Mark Burnett to produce and possibly star in unscripted television projects.

Luann de Lesseps had a shocking relapse while on probation for her 2017 Christmas Eve arrest in Palm Beach, Florida, where she was accused of assaulting and threatening to kill a police officer while under the influence of alcohol. In May, she was temporarily placed in handcuffs after a probation officer claimed in court documents that she relapsed on alcohol by drinking two mimosas after a cabaret performance in Chicago. During the hearing, de Lesseps narrowly escaped jail time for a second time after she struck a new plea deal. The RHONY star successfully completed her one-year probation sentence months after she had a slip-up in her sobriety. The New York City Department of Probation shared an official statement with RadarOnline.com on Wednesday, August 28, confirming that the troubled reality star’s probation had ended.

The OG of the OC was demoted after starting the franchise 14 years ago. Vicki was blindsided when producers offered her a “friend” role on RHOC and slashed her lucrative paycheck. She went from earning $60,000 per episode to a mere $20,000 to fight on camera with Kelly Dodd. She appeared on significantly fewer episodes but still delivered the drama — by getting engaged and “whooping it up.” The season ended in humiliation for Vicki at the reunion when she was not allowed to stay on the sofa with Andy Cohen and the other ladies for the entire time.

The OG of Beverly Hills was done! Lisa Vanderpump got embroiled in a nasty fight with her costars and ended up quitting the show that made her famous. It all started when Dorit Kemsley adopted a dog from Lisa’s rescue organization. Dorit claimed the dog “nipped” one of her children and had a friend drop it off at a shelter. Lisa was contacted about the rescue pup and all hell broke loose in Beverly Hills. When the news broke on RadarOnline.com, the women accused Lisa of spilling the beans, which she adamantly denied. She even took a lie detector test to prove she wasn’t the source to RadarOnline.com – and she passed! Lisa quit the show that she had appeared on since the premiere episode in 2010 but continued her reign on Vanderpump Rules.

Kenya returned to the Real Housewives of Atlanta married and with a baby but taking a whopping $1 million pay cut. She was fired after season 10 for keeping her marriage to Marc Daly a secret, but she convinced him to appear on season 12 with her. However, RadarOnline.com readers know that after a blowout at an event where Marc was caught trash-talking her, calling her an “attention wh**e,” the unhappy couple announced their split.
