Biggest Scandals of 2022: See Top 10 Videos

Now that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has wrapped for the year, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and The Real Housewives of Potomac are ruling Bravo with their feuds and drama. As is customary, the series is rife with potential legal ramifications, divorces, and other complications.

The entire year of 2022 has been filled with rumors and confirmed reports from the Real Housewives universe, leaving fans to stay tuned in to one of Bravo’s most popular and expansive franchises. It can be difficult to keep up with all of the happenings of the network’s ladies, but some scandals received more attention than others.

Jen Shah’s Fraud Investigation

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s third season is already one of the most dramatic seasons of the franchise in 2022. Jen Shah’s arrest and impending sentencing is one of RHOSLC’s most popular storylines, and it continues to loom over her family. While many of the Housewives have had legal issues, Shah faces some of the most severe prison sentences if she is found guilty on all charges: up to 30 years in federal prison.

Despite arguing with nearly every cast member about her innocence, Shah shocked fans when she entered a guilty plea in October 2022. Seeing this case unfold on the show and in real time has drawn fans in because they want to see all the details of the case and decide for themselves whether Shah is innocent or guilty.

Erika Jayne’s Legal Actions

Erika Jayne was chastised for appearing unconcerned about the victims of her ex-fraud husband’s case, which led to her being sued as an accessory to the crime. Erika was cleared of all charges in September, but she has faced backlash from the cast and fans over how she should return gifts from her ex-husband, given that the money used to purchase them appears to have come from victims of his crimes.

This storyline will most likely continue into the next season if Jayne stays on the show, as the reunion left her fate uncertain, with many of the other cast members bitter about Erika’s refusal to see her gifts as tainted.

Online Trolls of Garcelle and her 14-year-old son

Garcelle and her 14-year-old son have been dealing with online trolls for the duration of season 12’s airing, as he received death threats and racist direct messages. Diana Jenkins, a new cast member, was accused of being behind the messages, which outraged the rest of the cast, but she has also set out to find the person who started the hatred.

This scandal revealed an ugly side to being on reality television, exposing not only the show’s stars but also their families to hatred online and in person, potentially affecting their well-being in the long run. As of now, no one has been identified as the perpetrator, and given the nature of their crime, they are unlikely to be apprehended.

Divorce of Ashley and Michael Darby

Ashley and Michael Darby were a contentious couple on RHOP, owing to their age gap and complicated dynamics, which caused drama for the entire cast and led to allegations of harassment on Michael’s part. However, the seventh season of Potomac has revealed even more about the couple’s relationship. It discusses the couple’s divorce, which became public in April, and how messy the proceedings have been thus far.

This divorce has perplexed the cast because Ashley appears to have severed ties with Michael or has ruled out the possibility of future reconciliation. This is a storyline that will keep fans watching throughout the season to see how the couple handles their properties and custody of their children.

The Betrayal of Mia Thornton

Mia Thornton’s social media activity has been the talk of the RHOP cast and viewers, leaving fans to wonder how truthful the reality star is to the public about her business practices and health. Mia shocked her followers in October with a now-deleted Instagram post in which she claimed her brother-in-law had locked Thornton and her husband out of all of their business accounts, causing their fortune to be withheld from them.

Fans questioned the legitimacy of the act, especially now that the post has been removed, but this could be for legal reasons as she has not addressed the issue further. Mia’s family problems will not appear in season 7, but they may appear in season 8 if the show is filming the next season. Only time will tell how widely known this scandal will become.

The Lawsuit of Nene Leakes

Nene Leakes has never been afraid to speak up when she believes someone has wronged her, and this includes Bravo executives. In April, Leakes sued producers and Andy Cohen for discrimination, claiming that her career had suffered as a result of her broken relationship with the network.

Leakes has since dropped the lawsuit, leaving viewers to wonder if the network and Leakes are attempting to mend fences and signal a possible return for the former Bravolebrity. With her erratic behavior toward the network since her departure, fans are unlikely to see Leakes on their screens anytime soon, at least not on Bravo.

Teresa and Melissa’s Disagreement

 

The Original Real Housewives of New Jersey Teresa has been accused of attempting to kick sister-in-law Melissa off the show due to their ongoing feud, which has splintered the family.

While their relationship has had its ups and downs, if Teresa did use her power to kick Melissa off the show, which she admittedly denies, it would be disastrous for the rest of the cast because Teresa would be in a position to fire anyone who got on her bad side. This could create a false dynamic among the cast and remove the drama that keeps viewers interested in the show.

Shereé’s Fashion Collection

She by Shereé has been the center of attention on RHOA for all 14 seasons. Shereé had repeatedly promised her fashion line to fans, but there were no products to speak of until the season 14 reunion, when she announced the launch following the episode.

The website reportedly received a lot of traffic when it first opened, but then crashed and stayed closed for a while, leaving fans confused about the brand’s purpose in the first place. Since then, the site has been restored, with each product carrying a high price tag and the majority of items in stock.

Tweets by Sergio Carrallo

Many reality stars’ old tweets come back to haunt them after they make it big in the industry or appear on shows like Real Housewives, as was the case with Caroline Stanbury’s new husband, Sergio Carrallo, and his racist tweets. Sergio faced a lot of backlash after the Real Housewives of Dubai cast and their partners came under immediate scrutiny after the show aired.

Simultaneously, he apologized for his previous statements. Fans were still disturbed by his lack of understanding of the birthing process and how Caroline would be in danger if she carried a baby, as well as his racist tweets.

Marlo’s Parenting Style
Atlanta Marlo finally got her peach on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Even so, things were not going well in her household. She openly admitted to kicking out her two nephews, whom she is raising, because they were spoiled and refused to follow her rules.

Fans were disappointed with her choices and believed she was to blame for the boys’ refusal to respond to structure, especially after she uprooted them by kicking them out of her home and sending them to live with her sister, who does not have the same privileges as Marlo. This caused fans and the cast to view Marlo differently because she was quick to judge others’ choices but became defensive when she was subjected to the same treatment.
