Sa3ak explained on Reddit, "I don’t think Kenya is a nice person by any means, but I will always have love for her for defending Sheree against Bob in that car." Kenya and Sheree have been frenemies for years but when Kenya was present when Sheree's ex-husband joked about their abusive relationship, she jumped to her defense. In season 14, Kenya and Sheree are closer than ever and it's commendable that Kenya earned so many former haters' respect.

Bethenny Frankel and Luann de Lesseps have been a part of some of the more memorable moments on The Real Housewives of New York. Between Bethenny's witty one-liners and Luann's dramatic lifestyle, there was always a storm brewing between these two.

In season 9, however, Luann married a man named Tom who everyone felt wasn't a good match for her. Luanna drank more and ignored warning signs all for the sake of being a wife again. Bethenny was one of the only Housewives who called her out on her behavior, and when that relationship inevitably ended, Bethenny stepped up to the plate to help her. Bree7702 wrote, "I respected Bethenny a lot more when she got Luann into a good rehab... She didn't even like Luann during that period but she sure showed up for her."

To protect her daughter, she signed both of them up for self-defense lessons and it was then that she won Buckyplustwo over. "I respect Karen so much for taking her daughter to self-defense, telling her to fight and come back to her whole, being an ally to those who were assaulted by Michael Darby, and speaking on her sexual assault and advocating for survivors of sexual assault," they said.

While Jennifer has been a part of some of the best seasons of RHONJ, her hostile attitude towards some of the women after teaming up with Teresa Giudice has been offputting. However, she did have a redeemable moment when she stood up for her brother's sexual identity against her mother's traditional views. Davidthomvs wrote, "When her mom was having trouble accepting that Steven was gay. Jens's daughter was even trying to talk to her grandma about it. Spoke to her parenting and also reminded me of my sisters."

BequeathNothing loved that Meghan stuck to her guns because her intuition was right: Brooks lied about having cancer.

Ashley Darby started RHOP on the wrong foot as one of the younger, wilder Housewives. As time went on, Ashley was still an entertaining Housewife but matured alongside the other women but her marriage to Michael Darby was always at the forefront of the drama.

In 2019, Ashley announced that she was pregnant but it wasn't an easy road. She explained that she lost a baby the year prior. Fans who went through similar struggles appreciated her honesty. After having two kids, Sensitive-Cheetah7 respected her more. They wrote, "[Ashley's] a mess, but the chick gave me the confidence to breastfeed my baby wherever and whenever he’s hungry. The courage she has to just whip a [breast] out is empowering."

At that time, Taylor didn't trust Lisa but fans respected Lisa's approach to saving her despite their relationship.

In season 3's Scary Island, the women were not in the best moods on this vacation and Housewife Kelly Bensimon acted strangely. Kelly and Bethenny, in particular, were on the outs but no one understood why Kelly's behavior was unhinged.

At the end of a draining day, the only person who stood up for Kelly was Sonja Morgan. She realized that Kelly was having some sort of breakdown and her behavior was worrisome. DeathennyFrankel found a newfound respect for Sonja after this. "Sonja when she made Bethenny, Alex, and Ramona understand that Kelly was having a break with reality," they wrote.
