The Most Hated Housewives Husbands

Michael seemed ok when we first met him this season on RHONY. As the husband of NY rookie, Jules, he had his hands full with two young children under 5 years old. He is officially on the most hated list for cheating on his half Jewish, half Asian wife (as she likes to remind us). According to Life & Style, Jules busted him cheating, and caught him red handed with another woman.

OK, Josh is fine. He treated Kristen alright – if a bit like an infant – at least until the whole Ashley Madison thing. We just really, really, really hate his fedoras.

Cardinal Sin: Fedoras

Kenn can be really sweet. He dotes on RHOBH's Lisa Vanderpump and clearly loves her. She's the queen of their Villa Rosa castle. But lately Kenn's gotten up in the ladies' business with some heated name calling – never a good look for a Housewives husband. Remember when he called Lisa Rinna a wanker, a stupid b-tch and a silly cow? Don't be all uncool, Kenn. We were all rooting for you.

Oh, Simon. In all of Housewives history, there's never been a husband so thirsty for screen time as RHONY's Simon. Simon and Alex came off as social climbers desperate for attention, and Simon's err...flair was the chief reason why. He wasn't nasty, per say, he was just so thirsty and fans were having none of it.

Cardinal Sin: Wanting to be a Housewife

To put it politely, Jim is a traditional husband. Read: he saw his wife, former RHOC Housewife Alexis, as, like, his property, and it showed. The cameras caught several icky moments that made it was clear Jim has a dated idea of the power split in a marriage.

We loved Mario for years. He was the ideal husband on RHONY – cute, easy-going and nice to Ramona's friends. Then we discovered he was a lying cheater with a secret mistress and it was all downhill from there.

Simon's a bit like Jim Bellino. He clearly wanted to control RHOC's Tamra Judge. Even worse, though, he treated her terribly. He'd scream at her in front of the cameras, criticize her outfits and try to control her friendships.

Cardinal Sin: Being a no-good jerk

There's nothing more cringe-worthy than when a husband inserts himself into Housewife drama.

PK was basically the mastermind behind RHOBH's #pantygate saga — the recurring storyline from season 7 that introduced viewers to the vengeful side of Erika Jayne.

Peter's had his ups and downs over his years on RHOA. Sometimes it seems like he's a great guy, other times he comes off as a total jerk. When it seemed like he had blown Cynthia's money on his own failed business ventures, Cynthia's family pulled every last trick in the book to block their marriage. Then there was the whole maybe-cheating dance floor scandal. Over the years, he's built up a bad husband rap sheet that's become unignorable.

Slade is a serial Housewives dater. Over the years, that's hurt his reputation – it's hard not to see him as a user thirsty for the limelight. He actually treats Gretchen pretty well, but he's been a jerk to the other women – who can forget the time he said Vicki looked like Miss Piggy on stage in front of the whole RHOC cast? An unforgettable dick move.

Cardinal Sin: Weaseling his way into the RHOC cast via three different Housewives

As an actor, Kelsey Grammer is easy to adore. But on RHOBH, he came off as the worst dude ever. He encouraged his wife, Camille Grammer, to join the show, then it was revealed he'd been cheating on her with a flight attendant. Then, making matters worst, he called Camille's casting on RHOBH his "parting gift" to her. Oof.

Cardinal Sin: Cheating

John has a problem with just about every one of Dorinda's friends. And he's not even a husband yet! Just a boyfriend. He's rude to the other RHONY Housewives, frequently drunk and consistently inappropriate. Dorinda: it might be time to ditch the dead weight.

Cardinal Sin: Being too turned up for his own good

He fabricated his own storyline on RHOC when he lied about having cancer, and cheated on Vicki with a prostitute. We rest our case.

Cardinal Sin: Lying about cancer

Brooks lied about having cancer, but somehow Jim still beats him out for the top spot as the Most Hated Housewives Husband Ever. Why? He simply had no allies. Everyone. Hated. Him. The other husbands didn't respect him, the RHONJ Housewives took issue with how he spoke to them, and the fans tore him apart. Even after the show, Jim continued to run his mouth and speak ill of both the show and the Housewives themselves. Then, recently, he was arrested for alleged domestic abuse on a flight.
