Reality TV Shows: 'Love & Hip Hop' Vs. 'The Real Housewives' Fights & Scandals Who's Got Bigger Drama In Atlanta? [VIDEO]
It's no secret that Atlanta is becoming synonymous with reality TV drama as more series based there continue to get popular. But now the question lies that when it comes to two of the city's biggest shows: Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Love & Hip Hop Atlanta on VH1, which brings the most drama?

Let's start with one of the most tremulous story lines of reality television- affairs. While The Real Housewives of Atlanta has countless dramatic plots including couples considering (or actually filing for) divorce, an affair has yet to place. But Love & Hip Hop Atlanta has had with one of the most twisted love triangles to hit reality television since its debut season in 2012.
Mimi Faust and Stevie J had been together for nearly 13 years when he began cheating with on of his artists Joseline Hernandez. Let's just say Hernande and Stevie J are still going strong while Faust has moved on. Considering all this, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta takes the cake in this category.

But when it comes to broken friendships, The Real Housewives of Atlanta might have won this round. From NeNe Leakes's fallout with Kim Zolciak and most recent split with her best friend Cynthia Bailey, the series has seen its share of friendships ending. Even though Love & Hip Hop Atlanta has had fist fights and tables shaking, it hasn't seen as many close friendships end as its counterpart.
Both Love & Hip Hop Atlanta and The Real Housewives of Atlanta have characters who are battling legal troubles. Stevie J recently checked into rehab after testing positive for cocaine ten different times. He's also accused of owing $1 million in back child support. But he might not chalk up to Phaedra Parks's husband Apollo Nida of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. He's currently serving an eight year sentence after pleading guilty to several counts of fraud including identity theft. Given that he's actually in jail right now, he might take the criminal title between the two shows.
Still, we can't leave out physical fights. While The Real Housewives of Atlanta has seen a total of two (both were in the sixth season- one in which it was a huge brawl at NeNe Leakes's pajama party, another when Porsha Williams attacked Kenya Moore at the reunion special), and who can forget epic reads. But it's easy to lose count how many fights have broken out on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. When it comes to the epic battle between Stevie J and Benzino that involved many of the cast mates in the last season reunion, that's just one that got lots of hype. So Love & Hip Hop Atlanta wins the physical fight round.
It's safe to say both shows can stand on their own and have their fair share of drama- even though it's just different types. But thankfully for fans, they can catch both!
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo and Love & Hip Hop Atlanta airs Mondays at 8/7c.
