Housewives Cheating Scandals

Bethenny dropped a bombshell in season 8 of RHONY when she revealed she had been sent photos of Tom kissing another woman just days after he proposed to Luann. Luann's reaction to the news came off as strange and sparked speculation that maybe the couple has some sort of agreement/open relationship.

Luann and Tom put the 'cheating' behind them and still managed to walk down the aisle in 2016.

Back when she was dating Jacques, LuAnn brought a French Johnny Depp look alike back to a house the cast was staying in in St. Bart's. She denied they hooked up, but her fellow Housewives (and us, the viewers) had their doubts. Luann and Jacques broke up shortly afterwards.

Ramona's ex husband Mario was having an affair with a fitness instructor named Kasey Dexter. Soon after she found out, Ramona kicked him to the curb and filed for divorce. Read all the salacious details of the affair and aftermath here.

Back on season five of RHONJ, Melissa Gorga faced rumours around Jersey that she'd cheated on Joe. But, like the rumours about her being a stripper, no evidence ever materialized.

While Teresa was in prison, Joe was spotted by paparazzi at dinner with multiple young women. One of the women went on the record to say they're just friends, but the pictures have us all, "What! Are! You! Doing! Here! Without! Dorinda!" (Er, Teresa.)

When Joe headed to prison to serve his three-year sentence, Teresa's ex friend Kim DePaola started spreading rumours that Teresa was dating 'a handsome smooth talker.'

Teresa's lawyer has been quick to dismiss the claims, but Kim D. isn't stepping down. We'll have to see how this all plays out next season.

This one goes down as the strangest in Housewives history: according to rumour bomber Victoria Gotti, Teresa Aprea's husband Rino cheated on her with...her mother, Santa. Everyone involved calls the rumour insane, but Victoria maintains that's what Rino told her and even passed a lie detector test.

While Jules' first (and only) season of RHONY was on air, news broke that Michael had cheated on Jules with her acquaintance.

The couple had been married for eight years when Michael filed for divorce in May 2016.

Michael's attorney claims their relationship was rocky long before the scandal, and even claimed that Jules had physically abused Michael in the past.

On season five of RHOBH, Kyle was facing rumours that Mauricio cheated on her. It's another cheating allegation that's been flat out denied. Kyle told OK Magazine, "My husband is a stand-up guy, and to think that this happened because of the show… I felt guilty for bringing that into his life."

We watched the traumatic aftermath of David's affair play out on RHOC, and some dirty details were even discussed on the show, like how David brought his mistress around to meet his family.

The couple attended therapy to confront their issues, because Shannon's been clear – for her, divorce is not an option. These days, the couple has been a united front raising their daughters, and it looks like their relationship is back in a good place.

Before she was a Real Housewife, Brandi Glanville went through a very public divorce with Eddie Cibrian following the revelation he cheated with multiple women, including Vanderpump Rules' Scheana Marie and Eddie's now-wife LeAnn Rimes.

Phaedra's ex-husband Apollo accused her of cheating on him with a man named Chocolate – a charge Phaedra has consistently denied. Here's the statement her team released: “Phaedra has been a completely faithful wife and any rumors to the contrary are completely false. In addition, she does not even know any man named Chocolate. The whole thing just reeks of a fabricated story; an African man named Chocolate? Give me a break.”

When we first met Kim on RHOA, she had an anonymous sugar daddy who was a married man. Years later, Big Poppa's identity was revealed: turns out he's a real estate developer named Lee Najjar.

In June 2015, a video was posted to social media that showed Peter getting way too friendly with another woman. Cynthia insisted she was going to stay with Peter, saying "my marriage is not perfect... we’re going to deal with this issue as husband and wife.” But as we all saw on the show, Cynthia filed for divorce a year later.

When we first met these two in Potomac, we found out they were divorced but still living under the same roof and doing things as if they were still a couple —minus the romance.

In RHOP season 2 we found out that Juan's infidelities broke the couple up, and now everyone's on Robyn's case to make a final decision about the fate of their relationship.
