The Best Lydia McLaughlin Moments in #RHOC History

The Best Lydia McLaughlin Moments in #RHOC History

Lydia's back! It's time to reminisce and remember why we love her so much with a compilation of her best Housewife moments.

By Gillian Horn

Do the happy dance because Lydia McLaughlin is back for season 12 of the Real Housewives of Orange County. The last time we watched this spunky mama was four years ago in season 8. That was the season when Heather Dubrow and Terry decided to build again and Tamra Judge went on her bachelorette trip. In honor of Lydia's return, we're throwing it back to some of our favorite Lydia moments from her first round as a 'Wife.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on  Peacock and the Bravo App.

1. Every time she did the Lydia dance

"It's like an exclamation point."

2. When her mom channeled her inner Tinkerbell

Judy is Lydia's literal fairy (god)mother.

3. The moments when her mom admitted to being a stoner

4. When Lydia did some damage while shopping and used a ploy to get her mom to spend more

Does paying in cash count as "wasting paper" too?

5. When she hesitantly accepted Alexis's dinner invite...and rightfully so

Her reaction was priceless.

6. When she stood up for women everywhere

When Slade made a comment about not only Lydia's appearance, but also Vicki's, it was time for Lydia to put her foot down and stand up for her fellow females.

7. When she partied it up bachelorette style

What happens in Mexico stays in Mexico.
