Most of the time, it is admirable to watch a wife stand up for her husband. But in the world of the Real Housewives, sometimes it is a bit much. Whether you are from an East Coast or West Coast franchise, these Bravo stars do not appreciate when anyone talks about their spouses. Over the years, fans have learned that the marital bed is sacred ground, where no one should dare to walk.

When Teresa Giudice defended Joe Giudice, and Luis Ruelas, despite everything

For almost 15 years, viewers have been watching Teresa Giudice defend the men in her life. First, she started with Joe Giudice. The Italian native didn’t always seem to care about his wife, but Teresa lived by an old code that translated to family is everything. Unless you are a sibling. Joe’s antics came under fire during Season 4 when he was caught in a hot mic moment of his own.

While on a Napa Valley trip, Joe was caught talking on his phone to an alleged mistress. As Tre grew suspicious, Joe could be heard saying, “Here comes by b*tch wife,” and she’s a “c*nt.” Even with audio proof, Tre agreed that it was his longtime friend on the other end of the line. Tre has also defended Luis Ruelas, telling ET, “These are all lies that they are putting out there. They have nothing on me, so they’re trying to hurt the closest person to me, which is my husband, and they think that’s my ‘weak link,’ you know? He’s not my weak link. He’s my rock.”

When Lisa Rinna warned Kim Richards to never go after her husband, Harry Hamlin

The ladies’ trip to Amsterdam had to be one of the most dramatic Real Housewives trips in history. Fans and Kim Richards learned quickly that you don’t invoke the name of Harry Hamlin. The child actor was fed up with being questioned about her sobriety and uttered the two most ominous sentences, “Let’s talk about the husband. Let’s not talk about what you don’t want out.”

In an instant, Lisa Rinna’s hand was just about wrapped around Kim’s throat. It was the lunge we’ll never forget. The mother of two yelled, “Don’t touch my husband ever. Never go near my husband.” The soap opera actress then rose from her chair the way Ursula did from the ocean. The mother of two went on to break a wine glass and scream, “Do you understand that? Don’t you ever go after my f*cking husband!”

When Cynthia Bailey went up against NeNe Leakes for Peter Thomas

A Real Housewives star should never be forced to pick between her man and her BFF, but when push came to shove, Cynthia Bailey chose her spouse. NeNe Leakes couldn’t help herself as she chose to call Peter Thomas a “b*tch” during the infamous Pillow Talk episode. Peter was so mad after the incident that he tried to ban his wife from talking to Nene. However, those were just empty threats. During the same episode, Kandi Burruss was also seen going hard for her man, Todd Tucker, after Peter kept poking at him.

When Danielle Cabral emptied the table onto Jennifer Aydin for body-shaming her husband, Nate Cabral

As Dolores Catania stated, “We go hard for our men. It’s just who we are.” The Season 14 finale showed Danielle Cabral losing her temper after Jennifer Aydin body-shamed her husband, Nate Cabral. The Turkish princess is known to go low when insulting her enemies, and she didn’t hold back when she told the Staten Island native, “Your husband with the boobs, and you got the brawn, honey.” Danielle was livid and launched herself across the table, taking the mozzarella with it. It wasn’t pretty, but Jen’s comment was pretty rancid, especially since her husband, Bill Aydin, had chest surgery of his own.

When Ashley Darby stuck by Michael Darby through troublesome allegations

Perhaps the weirdest couple on this list is Ashley Darby and Michael Darby. For multiple seasons, Micahel was caught acting inappropriately, but the mother of two always defended him. Even when Michael was accused of sexually assaulting a cameraman, Ashley noted that he was innocent and hadn’t been fired from the show. At the time, Ashley took to her Instagram Stories to share “No charges filed. No arrest made, no Bravo suspension. No worries. We’ll keep you posted.”
