Who is the Reigning Queen of The Real Housewives

Vicki Gunvalson

Gunvalson is the OG housewife, appearing on The Real Housewives of Orange County since 2006 and earning the title as the longest-running cast member of the franchise. She’s had her share of scandals – ranging from harmless feuds with basically all of her cast mates to her ex Brooks Ayers lying about being treated for cancer, which was all kinds of messed up. 

She may have gotten a little less likable and entertaining over time, but that was bound to happen after nearly 14 years on the series. She deserves a mention on this list of queens, purely because she’s the original housewife and we don’t know where the series would be without her!
