Never has there been a more extraordinary demise than a Real Housewives star who has been caught on a hot mic moment. These scenes are usually unfiltered and filled with venom for another. Luckily, even when Andy Cohen and a camera are nowhere to be found, the tiny device hooked onto the Bravo star’s back picks up all fans need to hear.
Lenny Hochstein admits he has fallen out of love on Real Housewives of Miami
During Season 5 of Real Housewives of Miami, Lenny Hochstein found himself in hot water. While his wife, Lisa Hochstein, was parading around, thinking they were madly in love, Lenny decided to go to a form of confession while in his kitchen. While talking to his friend, Vito, the plastic surgeon admitted he wanted a divorce from the former model. Vito noted, “After the past few weeks, I’m officially single,” to which Lenny replied, “In a couple of months, I might be single too.” You could hear a pin drop as viewers most likely did an audible gasp from their couches. Lenny went on to say that he and Lisa hadn’t been sleeping together “because then I would be cheating on who I really care about. Nobody knows.” The entire scene was incredibly cringey, especially since Lisa was outside in a juxtaposition telling guests how fantastic their marriage was.
Lisa Barlow snaps at Meredith Marks on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
I physically shake when I think back to Lisa Barlow’s hot mic moment from the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast trip to Zion. During Season 2, Lisa lost her cool with Meredith Marks after the designer had snubbed her one too many times. She exploded from the dinner table, running from the cameras to her room. But she forgot to take off the mic pack as she unloaded her feelings. Lisa was heard shouting that Meredith was a “whore. Who has f*cked half of New York.”
The insults didn’t stop there as the Sundance Queen went on to say, “Meredith can go f*ck herself, I’m done with her. ‘Cause I’m not a f*cking whore and I don’t cheat on my husband. She and her dumb f*cking family that poses.” As Bravo cameras tried to worm their way back inside, Lisa noted, “Why don’t you own a house? Wait, you can’t ‘cause your husband changes jobs every five minutes. Fake Meredith is a piece of sh*t. F*ck that piece of sh*t garbage whore. I f*cking hate her.”
Wendy Osefo doesn’t believe Mia Thornton’s health claims on Real Housewives of Potomac
Dr. Wendy Osefo usually prides herself on her ability to stay calm in intense situations. But something about Mia Thornton always got under her skin. During Season 7 of Real Housewives of Potomac, Mia dealt with a health scare and took to social media to update followers. Most of the women believed that Mia was crying wolf but Wendy accidentally voiced her true feelings on the matter. At first, the professor seemed to defend Mia, but the truth came out as soon as she thought the cameras were switched off.
Wendy was caught saying, “But she’s lying, so who cares? We all know she’s lying.” Shortly after the episode aired, Wendy took to X to joke about her hot mic moment. She posted an “oops” meme and wrote, “When you get caught on a hot mic,” adding the crying-laughing emoji and the hashtag “fake saint.”
Karen Huger has a case of the green-eyed monster on RHOP
Now, you wouldn’t expect a hot mic moment from the Grand Dame. But Karen Huger knows how to throw shade, especially at Charrisse Jackson-Jordan. The two women always had a bit of unhealthy competition. Karen fancied herself the royal steward of Potomac, but in reality, Charrisse seemed to have way more connections. Their hatred for one another dates back to Season 2, so it wasn’t a surprise to see in Season 7 that Karen and Charrisse were on the outs.
While on the cast trip to Bermuda, Karen decided to have her glam team come to her room. After the cameras seemingly left, Karen word vomited her true feelings, telling her makeup artist, “Charrisse, you know she’s very jealous, and she’s evil!” Karen felt so comfortable in her shading that she went as far as to talk about the rumors surrounding Charrisse’s dating life, which, as you can guess, were not so kind.
The curious case of the pirate and Luann de Lesseps on Real Housewives of New York
Who knew one Johnny Depp from Shein pirate could cause so much trouble for the Real Housewives? But Luann de Lesseps was always a sucker for flirting with the wrong guys. During the Real Housewives of New York Season 5 girls trip, Luann formed a deep connection with Tomas even though she was seeing her long-term boyfriend, Jacques Azoulay. It was clear from their time at the bar that Luann was drifting into uncharted waters. The morning after she hung out with Tomas, Luann called her friend to gush about her night.
The Countess thought she was being stealthy as she spoke fluent French on the phone, not even thinking that production would be able to translate. Lu ended up saying, “He can’t say that he was here last night with me. That’s the problem. I don’t want the girls to know he was here with me. That’s very important.” But the girls knew. The RHONY girls always know what is happening.
