5 quotes from The Real Housewives franchise

#5) "I'll tell you how I'm doing: Not well, b*tch!" - Dorinda Medley

Dorinda Medley's response to a question about her well-being shot up as soon as she said it. The words were uttered in season 9 episode 4 of The Real Housewives of New York City, which came out in April 2017.

The infamous line was said to Candace Bushnell at a party after Dorinda was tense with her talks with Sonja Morgan. She was criticizing the latter's dating choices with a passion when Candace happened to enter and asked her if she was "okay".

#4) "Have a piece of bread, maybe you'll calm down a little" - Kim Richards

This line went down in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 5, which concluded in April 2015. It was said by Kim during the ladies' trip to Yolanda's native, Netherlands. A simple dinner in Amsterdam gave some of the most iconic lines of the show, and Kim's line was one among them.

Kim said it to Lisa Vanderpump when she tried to intervene in a beef between Kim and Kyle at the dinner table. The line did help shut Lisa up, and it still remains relevant on the internet.

Because of what Katie said, Ashley said she "wasn't feeling" Katie. She also said that Katie needed to "look at her own life" before passing judgment on others.
