Weeks before the season 10 reunion was set to air, a production source leaked audio of a heated confrontation between Ciara Miller and former bestie Amanda Batula, 34, who she accused of lying about dating her ex West Wilson. “Nobody was saying that you needed to stay celibate or what the f**k ever,” said the 30-year-old, “but there are a million other f**king guys in New York City.” Ciara added, “You’re a snake in the f**king grass… You move silent, but you’re f**king deadly.” (Bravo has said that “appropriate action” was taken against the leaker.)

“I can’t believe I did that! I can’t believe I did that!” Porsha Williams sobbed after she physically attacked castmate Kenya Moore during the season 6 reunion and had to be tackled by production staff. The 44-year-old snapped when Kenya, 55, using props including a bullhorn and a fairy wand, accused her of cheating on now ex-husband Kordell Stewart. “A lot of people called me and said, ‘How did you not see this coming?'” host Andy Cohen later said, via Bravo, explaining that he expected “intense and entertaining verbal wordplay” but not that it “would escalate into them getting up off the couch.”

Cohen got caught in the crossfire when Teresa Giudice attacked castmate Danielle Staub, 63, for bringing up her estranged family on the season 2 reunion. “She is a piece of garbage,” repeated the 53-year-old as cast and crew tried to calm her down. When Andy later asked her if she recalled pushing him, Teresa — who also famously flipped a restaurant table in the season 1 finale — said no.

Producers scrambled to restart production when Scandoval erupted after shooting for season 10 had wrapped. So it was no surprise that the revelation that Tom Sandoval had been cheating on long-term girlfriend Ariana Madix, 40, with her bestie Raquel Leviss was front and center at the reunion. Things got so nasty that Tom, 43, had a meltdown when cameras followed him as he tried to have a private conversation with Raquel, 31. “I want to talk to her, like, I don’t want a camera in my f**king goddamn face,” he yelled, adding, “We legally have to take a break. I need a break from filming!” (Tom and Raquel split shortly after the affair was revealed.)

Things came to a head in the season 10 reunion when Vicki Gunvalson finally admitted what her castmates had been insisting all along — that her boyfriend Brooks Ayers was not being honest about his cancer diagnosis. “I really think she’s starting to freak out about what he’s done to her life and all the relationships that have been messed up because of this guy,” her daughter, Briana, said on the show, a Bravo clip showed, telling her mom, “You’re in a huge state of shock.” To which Vicki, 64, said, “Nobody wants to feel duped or be taken advantage of.” Getting teary, she explained, “I am a smart woman. I fell in love hard, and I did have red flags, but not to the point of, ‘Brooks, are you really faking cancer?'” (Brooks, who admitted to forging medical documents, insisted he was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2013.)
