The era of reality television is at an all-time high, so there is no better moment than now to take a stroll down memory lane to revisit some of the most heated on-screen fiascos, ever!
From shows such as Jersey Shore, Real Housewives, all the way to classics such as Flavor Of Love, there have been some heated instances that have truly cemented the genre as wild and unpredictable.
While the cameras have caught some of the most explosive and unexpected TV moments, nothing compares to the moments so volatile that the cameras came down and the crew stepped in!
10 'RHOP' - Monique & Candiace Fight
When it comes to Bravo's Real Housewives, physical altercations are no longer as rare as it once was. This was made clear in the most recent season of the Real Housewives of Potomac where former cast member, Monique Samuels dragged co-star, Candiace Dillard, down to the table during a group wine tasting trip.
The altercation led to hair being pulled, drinks being thrown, and scratches being made, eventually leaving producers to finally step in and break up the fight. The moment was easily the most heated thing the ladies of Potomac have ever witness, hence why Candiace remained traumatized for months following the attack.
9 'Jersey Shore' - Mike & Ronnie Florence Fight
MTV's Jersey Shore always delivered and they certainly didn't disappoint come the series fourth season when the entire cast went to Florence, Italy. During a night out, Ronnie and Sam return home with a vengeance against Mike.
After Sam repeated something Mike had told her to Ronnie, the star flipped his lid and went after The Situation. The two were in such a heated fight that producers not only had to break them up, but Mike ended up launching his head into the wall, concussing himself and requiring medical attention.
8 'Flavor of Love' - Don't Come For New York
Flavor Of Love first aired back in 2006 and completely took fans by surprise. During the first season, fans were introduced to Tiffany "New York" Pollard, who has since become one of the biggest names in reality TV.
During an eliminated round, which is where most of the antics would unfold, New York and fellow contestant Pumpkin began to argue before Pumpkin spat directly onto New York. Tiffany launched herself across the room to hit Pumpkin in what was one of the wildest moments on TV at the time. While producers stepped in as fast as they could, New York managed to complete the mission all while getting the last laugh.
7 'RHOA' - Porsha & Kenya Reunion
The season 6 reunion of the Real Housewives of Atlanta remains one of the most jaw-dropping to date. After Kenya Moore accused fellow co-star, Porsha Williams of cheating on her ex-husband, Kordell Stewart, Porsha had just about enough. In addition to the accusations, Kenya also carried a scepter and megaphone, pushing Williams further to the edge.
It was at this very moment that Porsha grabbed Kenya by the hair and dragged her across the sound stage. Producers and reunion host, Andy Cohen got involved, breaking the duo up. Kenya, who was left unmarked, threatened to leave right then and there if Porsha wasn't fired, and her wish was Bravo's command!
6 'Love & Hip-Hop' - Mimi & Joseline Go At It
Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta is no stranger to the drama, especially during season five when Joseline and fellow co-star, Mimi get into a number of fights, mainly due to their unfortunate love triangle with Joseline's ex, Stevie.
After throwing a drink in Mimi's face at the club during the season, Joseline also came for Mimi during the reunion, both times security guards, production, and the cast members got involved, proving that Love & Hip-Hop doesn't play around.
5 'Summer House' - Boys Night To Boys Fight
While Bravo's Real Housewives has been giving everyone a run for their money, it seems as if Summer House is also delivering the drama. The current season has definitely been bringing it, despite the cast being in quarantine. Well, considering they have been under the same roof for a whopping 5 weeks, it was only a matter of time before the boys had a major blow-up.
After breaking boundaries and playing with some of the ladies' hearts, cast member, Luke Gulbranson got an ear full from Kyle Cooke and Carl Radke, leading him to rush back into the house looking for a right. Both Kyle, Carl, and Luke went on it, requiring production and their fellow housemates to step in.
4 'RHONJ' - Teresa Flips The Table
Teresa Giudice will go down in history as one of the most iconic reality TV stars, ever! Her status comes from not only being one of the last-standing original Real Housewives stars but from pulling off one of the most legendary moments, the table flip!
During the season one finale, Teresa and Danielle Staub go at it after Staub insulted Giudice's intelligence and lied about details regarding her life. After being told to "pay attention" Teresa lost her marbles and flipped the table onto Danielle, leaving just about all of America stunned. It is safe to say production definitely stepped in, however, this event marked one of the first for the Bravo cast and crew.
3 'Jersey Shore' - Jwoww & Sammi Blow Up
Jersey Shore is certainly home to some of the most gut-wrenching scenes in reality TV history. While fans have seen the boys go at it, a fight between the ladies definitely came as a shock. Following the entire season two Miami note disaster, Sammi figured out that Jenni "Jwoww" and Snooki were responsible for writing it.
This led Jwoww and Sammi to go head-to-head before Jenni initiated the fight by pushing Sam's head away. It didn't take much time before hair was being pulled and punches were being thrown, leaving the crew with no choice but to step in along with Pauly and Mike, who were also attempting to break things up.
2 'Vanderpump Rules' - Stassi Throws A Punch
This moment of Vanderpump Rules is what catapulted the show to where it is today. During the second season, Stassi discovers through Katie Maloney that her BFF, Kristen slept with Stassi's then-boyfriend, Jax Taylor.
This all came about during a mock setup to catch the two in a lie. After confessing to sleeping with Jax on several occasions, Stassi launched her hand across Kristen's face with all her force in what became the slap that was heard across the globe! Cameras went down and the cast and crew immediately stepped in to defuse the situation.
1 'RHONJ' - The Joe's Go Head To Head
As if we'd only include one RHONJ moment! Back in season 5, when Teresa and Joe Goga were at each other's throats, the cast went on a retreat to try and mend their broken ways, however, things didn't go according to plan. Not only did Joe Gorga call Teresa, "scum" but he charged at Joe Giudice after he demanded Gorga apologize to his sister.
This was the first physical altercation between husbands ever seen on Bravo, leaving many uncertain about what to do. Not only did production step in to break Joe and Joe up but security also arrived in what would go on to become one of the most horrific RHONJ moments, ever!
