5 Reality TV Stars You Hate to Love

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois chapter.

Ahh, reality television. If you’re like me, you love watching it, no matter how embarrassing it is to admit. The best part of reality TV is its dynamic stars and all of the drama they get into. Below are five reality TV stars you hate to love!

Kim Kardashian

All hail the selfie queen! Yes, Mrs. Kim Kardashian West loves her selfies and we love looking at them. Her book, “Selfish,” will be released April 28th, 2015. Kardashian has made her family’s name known around the world.  Little Nori is becoming a fashion icon, but that’s expected because her father, Kanye West, definitely has style. Kim’s sex tape opened doors for nine seasons and counting of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” multiple spin offs, clothing, shoe and beauty lines alike. The Kardashian family is working it and making money while being fabulous. I’m sure they are not done yet, but if the rumors are true, Kim may be pregnant and leaving the show. (Let’s hope not.)

Nicole Polizzi

Although she goes by Nicole now, we’ll probably always remember her as Snooki. This beauty has definitely changed since her “Jersey Shore” days! She has become a beautiful mother. The birth of her daughter, Giovanna, in October marks the second child for her and husband Jionni LaValle. Nicole has become obsessed with being physically fit. While it is the last season of “Snooki & Jwoww” there will always be a place for this reality star in our hearts.

NeNe Leakes

“I’m rich b—-,” is definitely a quote from NeNe that I will never forget. She also made the term “glamma” famous after she became a grandmother. Mrs. Leakes is a loud, hilarious woman. She’s also one of the original queens of shade. I’ve definitely been loving season seven of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” featuring this star.

Kim Zolciak

As NeNe’s former BFF, this wig-loving woman is a force to be reckoned with and hilarious to watch.  She loves her wigs and is not afraid to let you know it.  The former Real Housewife of Atlanta’s show “Don’t Be Tardy” is still going strong. It is great when you want to laugh at someone else’s crazy and chaotic family. I also must admit that Kim looks great after she’s had six kids; her most recent were beautiful twins. It seems like she’s been pregnant every year since she married Kroy Biermann. He has to stop knocking her up, but those kids are adorable and we love seeing her crazy self and family on television.

Yandy Smith

You might not know her, but she’s my favorite Reality TV star mom, besides Giuliana Rancic. She is a strong, loving, beautiful, well-dressed and hard-working woman. Her hustle definitely doesn’t go unnoticed. Watching her on “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” is great because she’s not really into drama and seems like the person that everyone can talk to about their problems. She reminds me of someone that I’d like to see myself become. I’m excited to see what she’s going to do next, especially now that baby number two is on the way.
