The Real Housewives franchise as a whole has produced some pretty incredible moments. However, for many, The Real Housewives of Atlanta takes the cake. For many years, RHOA on Bravo was the top-rated city of the franchise. Currently, the show is still pretty high on the list. Since starting in 2008, the various Real Housewives of Atlanta cast members have provided us with lots of laughs, awkward moments, and even some tears. Because The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Bravo is such a beloved show, we wanted to rank 5 Atlanta Housewives moments we can’t forget. Of course, there are far more than 5, but these are some scenes that define both RHOA and The Real Housewives on Bravo in general.

5 Atlanta Housewives Moments

The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Bravo is still a mainstay on television. The 15th season of the show is currently filming and will air sometime this year. As with many other long-running Real Housewives shows, the cast has changed quite a bit. There are still some familiar faces on the show, but it’s not the same as it was during the first few seasons. However, one thing remains true. You can always count on The Real Housewives of Atlanta for iconic reality tv show moments.

NeNe Leakes Blocked From Sheree’s Party On ‘RHOA’

Many say that The Real Housewives of Atlanta began when Sheree Whitfield blocked NeNe Leakes from attending her party in Season 1 of the show. Of course, this wasn’t the show’s first scene, but it is perhaps the first memorable moment. In the scene, fans see NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak getting ready for Sharee’s party and even in the car en route to the event. However, Kim is on the list once they arrive, but NeNe is not.

In recent years, Sheree has denied that she intentionally left NeNe off the guestlist. However, most fans, and even former Real Housewives of Atlanta producer Carlos King, believe it was an intended oversight. This is one of the moments that led him to include Sheree on his list of greatest Housewives of all time. Like Teressa’s table flip on New Jersey, this is one of the best moments from RHOA on Bravo.

Kenya Moore Is Gone With The Wind Fabulous on ‘RHOA’

The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast has some pretty notable moments. However, Kenya Moore has one that is forever ingrained in popular culture. In season 5 of the show, Kenya and her nemesis, Porsha Williams, got into a massive argument on a cast trip to Anguilla. After being insulted  for her age and career accomplishments, Kenya Moore stands up and says, “I’m gone with the wind fabulous.” She then twirls around, causing both shock and admiration from her cast members. Of course, this now-famous quote references the classic film Gone With the Wind.

Not only did Kenya More release a song called Gone With The Wind Fabulous, but the iconic reality star and Miss USA still uses the phrase from time to time on the show. Though this moment on RHOA came from drama, the phrase is now primarily used to uplift oneself. But, of course, Porsha and Kenya went on to have more significant issues on the show in later seasons. This is easily one of the top 5 Atlanta Housewives moments from RHOA on Bravo.

Kim Zolciak Leaves ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’

RHOA on Bravo has had its fair share of cast shakeups. However, only once in the show’s history has a cast member essentially walked off the set and quit. Kim Zolciak decided to exit the show in season 5 during a somewhat awkward dinner scene. In the scene with Kim and the rest of the RHOA ladies, they were planning a trip, and many people had changed schedules to accommodate Kim. However, she revealed that she would not attend because she was pregnant. Then, after being questioned regarding her involvement with the other ladies, she decides to leave. In the process, she takes off her microphone, and her husband even confronts a camera operator before they drove off. It was super dramatic, and it’s a scene from The Real Housewives of Atlanta that long-time fans will never forget.

Of course, Kim later returned to The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but only for one season. In many ways, she made fans of the show turn on her, and Bravo even canceled her spin-off series.

Claudia Jordan Shades NeNe Leakes

There have been several one-season wonders on The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Bravo. However, perhaps the most iconic is Claudia Jordan. Claudia Jordan appeared on RHOA as a housewife during season 7. Claudia was a great housewife, and many fans believe she would have been one of the best had she been on the show for another season.

However, she did produce one of the most iconic scenes in the show’s history. Claudia went up against NeNe Leaks for being rude to some of the other cast members on the trip. To provide context, people considered NeNe Leaks the queen of the show, which meant most people backed down from arguments with her. However, not Claudia Jordan. During a somewhat awkward dinner scene, the two sparred back and forth with insults. Eventually, viewers and the cast could easily tell that Nene was defeated. Some of the other housewives even remarked on the situation in their confessionals.

Because of this scene, people still say that Claudia Jordan should return. In recent years, Claudia has even said that she would do the show again for the right price. Her sparring match with Nene will always be a significant moment in reality television history.

Sheree Vs. The Party Planner on ‘RHOA’

Out of everyone who has ever been on RHOA, Sheree Whitfield has some of the most iconic moments on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Besides blocking Nene from her party, she is one of the most important members of the cast. Fans of the show can’t forget her run-in with the party planner in season 2 of the show. The scene finds Sheree going to a meeting with the person planning her birthday party. She is already upset because he has not returned phone calls or updated her about the party planning stage. The meeting is normal initially, but Anthony, the party planner, becomes a bit angry. The discussion got intense between the two, and people had to intervene. However, not before Sharee uttered her now famous phrase to Anthony, “Who gon check me, boo.” Until this day, this is one of the most used phrases from the show and Bravo in general. For more reasons than one, this is one of the most iconic Atlanta Housewives moments.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is one of the most iconic reality shows of all time. Of course, the show is still great today, but we can’t get over some of these classic moments from RHOA on Bravo.
