The ladies in the Real Housewives franchise love winning their respective arguments. But as their seasons air on Bravo, most of these cast members are seeing what their costars have said about them for the first time, and their battle cries immediately ring out at their proceeding reunions.
That said, receipts are not a new topic on Bravo. Within each season, text messages and voice notes air, lending way to the storylines within each series. These are our favorite examples of these receipts gone right, which likely lend to the nightmares their host, Andy Cohen, experiences at the end of each taping.
The Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2 Reunion
During the reunion for Season 1 of Real Housewives of Dubai, we saw Caroline Stanbury pulling out her homemade Book of Lies. It fell flat.
In Season 2, Lesa Milan better showed us how to play this game, but first, a tired Andy asked her if her receipt would land. She insisted it would and then pulled out three journals she purchased from Stanbury. Lesa explained that they looked familiar, and then she pulled out another journal, matching the ones Stanbury sells.
But, as Stanbury explained, she never claimed to have written anything.
Taleen Marie, however, still had a receipt for Caroline Brooks. Brooks denied she wore her clothing in Season 1, so Taleen brought the blown-up text messages to prove her case.
One reunion, two receipts. We love(d) it here.
The Real Housewives of Miami Season 3 Reunion
The earlier days of Real Housewives of Miami feel like a fever dream. But when Lea Black brought us a solid round of receipts at the Season 3 reunion, whew.
Mama Elsa was sick in the hospital, and as Marysol Patton claimed, Lea never came to see her. At the reunion, Marysol pulled out her iPad and a speaker to play a message from her father, who was dissing Lea.
But Lea had a printout from her cell phone company showing she had reached out. She also proved that she called the hospital, which stressed that Mama Elsa did not want visitors. This cast understood the assignment from early on. No notes.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 4 Reunion
Never mince words when dealing with Meredith Marks. As seen in the reunion for Season 5 of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Andy knows how to speak in her dialect. And Meredith uses semantics to her advantage.
Meredith was never gunning for her costar’s marriage. Instead, she wanted to talk about a husband, not his dealing with his wife, Angie Katsanevas. But as she read from her printed-out texts, her cast called out the semantics mess.
Then, Mary Cosby claimed she never tweeted mean things about Whitney Rose. But production had receipts that stated otherwise.
Oh. Monica Garcia, the lady behind the infamous reason Heather Gay once yelled, “RECEIPTS! PROOF! TIMELINES! SCREENSHOTS!” brought a burn book.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 5 Reunion
Receipts were seen again in the Season 5 reunion of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Here, Kim Richards threatened to mention a husband, and this costar reacted via threatening texts.
Lisa Rinna had no choice but to own her messy words as her rage texts got read aloud at the reunion. Then, Lisa apologized in real time. Her cast felt her apology was genuine, but Kim remained unsure. Cue her giving Lisa back her gifted bunny at the reunion two years later, proving that Kim is not afraid of receipts or holding a grudge on her former series, RHOBH.
The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 9 Reunion
The reunion for Season 9 of Real Housewives of Potomac just aired. And, of course, receipts were present here as well.
Stacey Rusch accused Mia Thornton of inviting her to her birthday party in Miami. But when she arrived, Mia was MIA. Here comes Stacey with printed text message receipts, which made Mia cry. Then, Mia stormed off as her costars noted that her crying when called out antics were growing tiresome.
Overall, Mia had a rough reunion. You can only explain away so many things before side eyes emerge. Thankfully, Mia owned her wrongs and Andy asked her to give herself some grace.
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Reunion
Long live the reunion for Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10. Shannon Beador had solid detective skills this season, which she used to sort out an awful lie based on cancer.
Vicki Gunvalson loved Brooks Ayers, who had cancer. Except, did he? As this cast tried to discern this answer, Vicki provided receipts during the season. But, one of her receipts was from an imaging company Shannon had used. And as Shannon proved at the reunion, the scans and paperwork used to show that this cancer storyline was factual were duds.
So long, grossly filled love tanks.
The Real Housewives of New York Season 12 Reunion
By the time Season 12 rolled around, the OG cast of Real Housewives of New York were pros at calling out BS. Yet, their friendships remained messy, which, hey.
Ramona Singer and Dorinda Medley were not getting along. So, Dorinda called Ramona out on her one-sided friendship showings. Ramona hated this. So, she threw a pile of papers out that contained her printed text messages with Dorinda, telling her cast to read their texts.
Shouting and crying ensued as Andy tried to temper their emotions. But Ramona still cried, expressing how much she loved Dorinda and how sad she was that Dorinda kept pointing her finger.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 12 Reunion
In Season 2 of Real Housewives of New Jersey, alum Danielle Staub showed up with a mannequin head. She wanted to prove her receipt live, showing how hard someone had to pull to make an extension fall out.
Skip to Season 12, and we have another reunion receipt, just delivered by Jennifer Aydin. She and Melissa Gorga were not (and remain not) tight, as both find each other inauthentic on RHONJ. At the reunion, Melissa claimed Jennifer started their feud by calling her crooked. This statement saw Jennifer reaching behind the couch to pull out her receipt, a blown-up Instagram post that showed Melissa hit her first online.
Like always, Melissa laughed her off, unfazed.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 15 Reunion
During the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 15 reunion, we got two receipts for the price of one.
First, Shereé Whitfield, AKA the bone collector, arrived with a homemade newspaper aptly titled SHE News. Her rag poked fun at a restaurant owned by Kandi Burruss, who earlier shaded her athleisure line on YouTube.
Andy claimed this was the shadiest receipt ever shown.
Then, Shereé produced text messages given to her from an anonymous source. These messages were supposed to prove that Drew Sidora and Ty Young were engaged in a tryst, but Drew still said NOPE.
Sadly (for her ex), Drew is now getting a divorce.
