00:00When I looked at her early in the career,
00:01I thought, wow, this is kind of an homage to Mariah a little bit.
00:04Did you feel that?
00:06Child, I don't know when early in the career was.
00:09Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks
00:12for the moments when celebrities embraced the shade
00:15on the longtime Bravo talk show.
00:17Okay, hey, where do we start, okay? Please don't get me wrong.
00:22Number 20. Jenna Dewan on Beyonce
00:25Sometimes guests are kicking hornets' nests before they know it,
00:29but Jenna Dewan knows she's just kicked the beehive.
00:32The whole world is about to come for me right now.
00:34Yeah, hey, it's okay.
00:35Beehive? Beehive, I love, I am like, I love bae.
00:38When Andy Cohen asks the dancer-slash-actress about a pet
00:42peeve she has about pop singers' dancing skills,
00:45she demonstrates a particular way of walking in heels that irks her.
00:49Of course, Cohen presses her to give an example.
00:53Okay, y'all gonna all kill me, but back in the day, Beyonce did that.
00:56Her answer is an act of incredible bravery or foolishness,
01:00depending on how you look at it.
01:02Dewan insists that the icon has since improved her heel work.
01:06Still, it's quite a moment.
01:07Have you ever worked with her?
01:08No, but I, like, I worship her. She's amazing.
01:12Think the chances just went...
01:13I know, I don't think I'm being hired.
01:15Number 19. Bethany Frankel and Jeff Lewis trade shade
01:19Things are already tense enough on the set,
01:22as the Real Housewives of New York original and Andy Cohen
01:25are clearly hashing out some backstage drama in real time.
01:29But it's Bravo-lebrity Jeff Lewis who throws fuel on the fire
01:33by subtly intimating that Bethany Frankel's
01:36recap podcast is an unoriginal idea.
01:39It's a show where I'm talking about things people might not have known,
01:41and I even defend, ironically, Kelly,
01:43thinking about what might have been going on, really, in her mind in Scary Island
01:47and things that people wouldn't know about the trips.
01:49And no one's ever done a recap show for Housewives.
01:51Well, no one...
01:52Oh, that's, well, that was the other thing.
01:54Why is your... I mean, how is yours different? Let's promote it.
01:56She hits right back about not being fired from her show.
02:00Lewis, of flipping out fame, was famously let go from Bravo at one point.
02:04Although he tries to deny that he meant anything shady by it,
02:08Frankel isn't one to let even a low-key dig go unchecked.
02:11And that's why you're so bitter.
02:13Yeah, I... No, I'm not bitter at all.
02:14No, I let it in a better place.
02:15Right, exactly. That's what they all say.
02:17Right. But...
02:19No, I really did. I really did. Like, I'm happy.
02:21You said it. You opened the door, baby.
02:23Don't come for this, unless you want to get shot.
02:25Number 18, Lisa Rinna shades Nicolette Sheridan.
02:29Former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member
02:32and Days of Our Lives star, Lisa Rinna,
02:34is famously protective of her husband, actor Harry Hamlin.
02:38But when she brought up his ex,
02:39Desperate Housewives actress Nicolette Sheridan,
02:42it touched off a social media war.
02:44How did you feel about the accusations by Nicolette Sheridan against your marriage?
02:49Yeah, I'm...
02:55That's how.
02:56Sheridan accused Rinna of lying about how her marriage to Hamlin ended.
03:00Rinna's response in the clubhouse proves that actions speak louder than words.
03:05But even after making her rude gesture for the cameras,
03:08she has to get another dig in.
03:10She started following me on Twitter the other day.
03:12Yeah, I bet she did.
03:13She probably needs a jab.
03:16Number 17, Vivica A. Fox calls out 50 Cent.
03:20What should have been a standard promo appearance for her stint on Empire
03:23became a tea dumping session when Vivica A. Fox arrived in the clubhouse.
03:28Andy Cohen asks her about former Flame 50 Cent's
03:31alleged criticism of the show for its amount of queer storylines.
03:35You know, uh, the pot calling the kettle back.
03:38Black is all I'm saying.
03:40The pot calling the kettle black?
03:43Whoa!
03:44Her awkward but scandalous response has Cohen and fellow guest Candy Burris
03:49desperate for more info.
03:51Fox doesn't even backtrack right away.
03:53She lets that implication sit and stew for a minute
03:56before adding fuel to the fire by bringing up a magazine cover
03:59featuring her ex and Soulja Boy.
04:01That made me kind of go...
04:06I am so glad we are supersized tonight because we have a lot to talk about.
04:11Number 16, Pink calls out Kim Kardashian.
04:14If a celebrity subtweets someone,
04:16it'll probably haunt them all the way to watch what happens live.
04:20In this 2017 episode, singer and human slingshot Pink
04:24fields a question about some Twitter shade everyone assumed was about Kim Kardashian.
04:29She doesn't just confirm it.
04:31She gives a reason.
04:32Honestly, she went in on Bette Midler,
04:34and if you go in on Bette Midler, you're probably gonna hear from me.
04:38The 2016 post came after a social media spat
04:41between Kardashian and legendary performer Bette Midler.
04:45The former's attempts to call the beach's star out
04:47for being a fake friend annoyed Pink, who is a diehard fan of Midler.
04:52What's more, she's not sorry at all.
04:55It was...
04:56She's my everything.
04:57Yeah, okay.
04:58Just make sure that you do that.
05:00I will.
05:00Okay, good.
05:00She's amazing.
05:01Okay.
05:01Number 15, Ramona Singer offends Vicky Gunvalson.
05:05These two OG Real Housewives almost got into it in the clubhouse.
05:10Orange County star Vicky Gunvalson may have been on the first franchise,
05:14but Ramona Singer insists that the Real Housewives of New York
05:18put the entire brand on the map.
05:20In fact, she goes so far as to say that
05:22no one even knew about Real Housewives of Orange County
05:25before the New York edition came along.
05:27Oh, there's nothing.
05:28No one really knew about hosting.
05:30What?
05:30Unless you're a housewife.
05:31What?
05:31What?
05:32What?
05:32What?
05:33What?
05:33I'm sorry.
05:34Get away from me, girl!
05:36I can't even believe you said that.
05:37The great thing is Singer probably doesn't even understand how shady this is.
05:41It's the kind of self-absorption we've come to know and love,
05:45or love to hate, from her.
05:47New York Times!
05:48Wall Street!
05:49New Yorker!
05:50Punk!
05:50Gay!
05:51My girl got kicked out of school!
05:53You were on all those...
05:54No.
05:54Are you kidding me?
05:55No, I'm not kidding you.
05:56Number 14, Cyndi Lauper talks about We Are The World.
06:00In 2018, Megawatt musician and producer Quincy Jones made comments
06:05about the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun artists' dislike for his 1985 charity hit,
06:11We Are The World.
06:12Jones took issue with Cyndi Lauper's purported disdain for the song.
06:16A fan called in to watch What Happens Live and asked Lauper about this.
06:20She actually takes it all in stride.
06:22I thought, you know, I heard we say,
06:25feed the world, and I kind of got so into that, that, you know,
06:30we are the world, you know, it reminded me, it was catchy though.
06:35That opens her up to talk about the song itself, and that's when things get shady.
06:39Lauper insists she never would have told Jones that she hated his song,
06:43but that doesn't mean she never said it at all.
06:46I've always been polite to him though, and I never would say to him that I hate the song.
06:52I told my manager that, he shouldn't have f***ing told the guy.
06:56Number 13.
06:57Kelly Clarkson's plausible deniability.
07:00During a game of Plead the Fifth, Andy Cohen, being himself, dredges up the singer and future
07:06daytime talk show host's tweet, citing, quote, pitchy strippers.
07:10At the time, this was seen as shade towards Miley Cyrus' infamous VMAs performance in 2013.
07:16However, Kelly Clarkson reiterates that she never said who it was about,
07:20but she doesn't do much to convince us.
07:22Never said Miley Cyrus.
07:24You tweeted during the VMAs.
07:25The fact that I tweeted pitchy stripper and people thought Miley Cyrus is not my problem.
07:29She makes it clear that it's not her fault other people thought the label applied to
07:33Cyrus' performance, which just makes it even shadier.
07:36Cohen's attempts to get her to cop to it are just as hilarious.
07:40You're trying to manipulate me.
07:42Okay.
07:42I'm gonna drink more.
07:44Soon, still I'll say the truth.
07:46Yeah, exactly.
07:47Yeah, if I have this sip, I'll have more of my wits about me.
07:50And then I can blame it on the alcohol.
07:52Number 12.
07:53Joan Rivers gives John Travolta a backhanded compliment.
07:57When the legendary comedian saw an opening, she took it.
08:00Here, Cohen asks Joan Rivers a fan question.
08:03What gay man would she love to take to bed if she were a gay man himself?
08:08She doesn't hesitate to throw down a name.
08:10A current or past?
08:12I think anything.
08:13John Travolta.
08:16This is peak shade because it's a compliment in a way.
08:19However, the implications are loud and clear.
08:22But she does her due diligence in adding a legally protective caveat to the end of it.
08:26You know, to not get hit with a slander lawsuit.
08:29Not that anyone can even hear this over the raucous laughter of fellow guest Rashida Jones
08:35and the studio audience.
08:36But he'd have to wear the wig.
08:38Oh, he'd have to wear the wig?
08:40Okay, very good.
08:41If, if he were gay.
08:44Number 11.
08:45Kenya Moore versus Michael Rapaport.
08:47Leave it to this The Real Housewives of Atlanta star to shade someone's entire career.
08:52No, existence right in front of them.
08:54I appreciate you being a fan though.
08:57Keep the cable on.
09:01A new job would help with that.
09:02While Andy Cohen swears he didn't mean to book these two Twitter enemies on the same show,
09:07he can't help but bring up some unkind comments Rapaport made about Moore.
09:11Let's just say she's unimpressed.
09:13Not just with his comments, but with his entire being.
09:16Anything you want to get off your chest about him to start?
09:20I mean, you know, peasants can't summon queens, so.
09:23The two smile like they're having the time of their lives, but their insults say otherwise.
09:28They trade barbs so well that Moore starts to wonder if Rapaport is angling for his own peach.
09:33You do know that Housewives are women, right?
09:35Yes, I do.
09:36We're not giving out any peaches.
09:38Number 10.
09:38Christina Aguilera on Eminem.
09:41When Aguilera appeared on the show, she was subject to Cohen's segment Plead the Fifth,
09:46in which hard-hitting questions are asked in a short amount of time.
09:49Why do you think he has held on to this beef with you for so long?
09:55That's a question for him to answer.
09:57I don't know.
09:58I don't know what's going on there.
09:59Cohen asked Aguilera how she felt towards Eminem, who has used her name in at least two songs,
10:05the real Slim Shady in 2000 and a freestyle in 2018.
10:09We have to see the shade she throws as a little justified, however, as in the first song,
10:14Eminem refers to her promiscuity amongst peers and, in the second,
10:18crudely refers to her breasts, among other inappropriate comments.
10:22Were you surprised last year when your name was on his lips again?
10:26Yeah, I mean, that's real thirsty.
10:29I don't know.
10:29I don't know what's going on.
10:30That's real in the past and, you know, it was thirsty then, it's thirsty now.
10:34Aguilera refers to the rapper as thirsty, yet in this case,
10:38we take it to mean desperate for attention more than anything else.
10:40You know, it's not nice to go after anybody, especially a female, and in this business,
10:45and now what we're looking at and seeing and things that are coming to the forefront,
10:49it's just, you know, get a new gig, you know, have something else to talk about.
10:53Number nine, Nene Leakes on fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta wives.
10:58When Nene Leakes appeared on the show,
10:59she was basically handed the opportunity to throw shade on a silver platter.
11:03Charay is saying that she would never tell me anything.
11:06I wouldn't be the one, two, three, four, five, 100.
11:09Well, I would tell you right away the wig is a no.
11:11A video of the Real Housewives of Atlanta was shown,
11:13with the wives gossiping about Nene behind her back.
11:16Andy Cohen then asked her if she wanted to respond and, of course, she obliged.
11:21If I were in love, Nene would not be the first person I would tell about it.
11:25She proceeded to rattle off all of the insults she'd just watched
11:29and responded to each in a rapid fire of shade bullets.
11:32On top of this shade, when the video was shown,
11:34Nene appeared in the corner of the screen reacting to the footage as it played.
11:38In the style of a sports commentator.
11:41It was basically a shade-a-thon.
12:02Number 8. Wendy Williams on Lisa Vanderpump
12:05Oh, the housewives. A constant source of shade.
12:15When a caller to the show asked her about her thoughts on Lisa Vanderpump,
12:18Williams immediately responded with,
12:20Who?
12:21She then went on to imply that all of these housewives are essentially replaceable,
12:25with one taking the spotlight only to be replaced by another
12:28after the former's 15 minutes of fame have passed.
12:36Williams ends the quick rant with,
12:43I don't care.
12:44We can't disagree with Williams here,
12:46as every week there seems to be a new kid on the posh housewives block.
12:49Let's call this justified shade.
12:59Number 7. 50 Cent on Jay Z
13:02Rapper feuds are a dime a dozen,
13:04and they also make the occasional appearance on talk shows.
13:12When 50 Cent appeared on Watch What Happens Live,
13:14he too was given the opportunity to play Plead the Fifth.
13:17He answered the other questions as politely as he could,
13:20and made the audience laugh more than once.
13:34When asked which hip hop star he considered to be overrated,
13:42he said Jay Z.
13:43Although he followed it up by saying Jay Z himself would admit this to himself,
13:5750 Cent might seem tough in his music,
13:59but he's always a bit of a charmer on talk shows.
14:02His shade towards Jay Z didn't even sound rude or insulting.
14:06Number 6. Zoe Kravitz on Lily Allen
14:09Zoe clearly isn't a fan of Lily Allen.
14:11Allen had recently written a book detailing her tour with Kravitz's band Lola Wolf.
14:20Kravitz clearly had a different version of the story,
14:22and was compelled to say so following a viewer's question.
14:33Reminiscent of our Wendy Williams entry, Kravitz began by saying,
14:37who's Lily Allen?
14:38She then went on to say that Allen didn't kiss her,
14:41but actually attacked her with the kiss.
14:53When Cohen asked her if she'd read the book,
14:55she said she didn't think anybody had read the book.
14:58Now that is some serious shade.
15:02Number 5. Billy Porter on Mariah Carey
15:09Mariah Carey's 2014 Rockefeller Center tree lighting performance
15:13is implanted in the memories of everyone at this point as a complete disaster.
15:17Billy Porter himself performed at the event,
15:20and when a caller asked him what the vibe was like following the infamous Carey performance,
15:24he simply put his head back and awkwardly smiled.
15:28He then went on to say that the situation was pandemonium all day,
15:33and those present for the event and its preparations were not surprised by the dismal result.
15:45This leaves much to the imagination,
15:47but we can tell Porter is being as polite as possible,
15:50and Cohen moves on before he can add anything more.
15:52It was not a surprise to those of us who had been there all day.
15:56Number 4. Paris Hilton on Lindsay Lohan
15:59Paris Hilton had her own turn in the Plead the Fifth hot seat,
16:02and was asked to say three nice things about her then-enemy Lindsay Lohan.
16:06Paris, you have recently said that you never want Lindsay Lohan's name
16:11spoken in the same sentence as yours. Paris, say three nice things about Lindsay Lohan.
16:20We can see the seething hatred in her expression before Cohen even finishes his sentence,
16:24and it's then followed by an awkward pause.
16:37We're not sure about that first one, it could go either way.
16:40Paris Hilton's lingo can be confusing at times,
16:43but we're sure she would have given far more colorful adjectives
16:46had she not been on live television.
16:48Number 3. Patti LuPone on Madonna
16:51Now here's a woman who doesn't hold back.
17:00Patti LuPone is a Broadway actress and has performed as Eva Peron on stage
17:05as Madonna did in the film adaptation.
17:07When Cohen asked her what she thought of Madge's performance in the film,
17:11she seemed to pause for a second and consider her answer,
17:14but then just decided to speak her mind.
17:18She called Madonna's Evita a piece of crap,
17:36and then went on to call the singer a movie killer,
17:38criticized her acting, and claimed she should stay away from film and stage
17:43in an acting capacity as she is not an actress. Ouch.
17:48Number 2. Naomi Campbell on Nicki Minaj and Cardi B
18:04Naomi Campbell is definitely not known for her modesty,
18:07or for keeping her thoughts to herself.
18:09At New York Fashion Week, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B had an altercation
18:18at the Harper's Bazaar Icons afterparty,
18:21which resulted in Cardi B being escorted out sporting a bump on her forehead.
18:25Campbell was asked for her thoughts on the situation,
18:28and began her answer by saying that she doesn't know why it was called the Icons party,
18:32as there were no icons present.
18:39Ouch. She then went on to express her disappointment in the two women.
18:46Campbell was equally shady when asked about Kendall Jenner.
18:59We kind of expect this from her at this point.

19:17Number 1. Mariah Carey on Jennifer Lopez
19:25Mariah Carey is a character. After an interview in which she claimed not to know Jennifer Lopez,
19:30Carey was asked again if she knew JLo.
19:37She once again repeated that she did not,
19:46and went on to say that the two have only shaken hands and politely greeted each other.
20:03However, Carey is known for being quite the diva,
20:06as can be seen in other WWHL appearances where she makes comments on Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande.
20:16Lopez has apparently claimed that the two do in fact know each other. Confused? So are we.
20:21But Carey stands her ground on not being in the know with JLo, and this can be seen as shady,
20:26as she is adamant in her denial, and it appears a little condescending.
20:36Did these shady moments give you everything you needed,
20:48or were you thirsty for more tea? Let us know in the comments.
