7 TV Moms We Love to Hate
7 terrible TV mothers we can't help but love to watch, even if they could use some serious parenting pointers...
Lucille Bluth, 'Arrested Development'
Boozy, unapologetic, insult-hurling Bluth matriarch Lucille even makes her self-involved daughter Lindsay look like mother of the year in comparison. Sure, she said she loved her children equally (despite admitting: "I never cared for Gob"), but we never really saw her get warm and fuzzy with any of them. Even when she was five morning martinis deep.
Jackie Taylor, 'Beverly Hills, 90210'
Former model and Roxette hairstyle-enthusiast Jackie Taylor wasn't exactly the picture-perfect Beverly Hills millionaire mom to Kelly that she wanted to be. Who shows up to a mother-daughter fashion show drugged out their minds only to humiliate their kid by making a total scene? We know Lorelei Gilmore sure wouldn't.
Victoria Grayson, 'Revenge'
You do not want to cross the calculating shade-thrower that is "Queen of the Hamptons" Victoria Grayson. The embodiment of the Taylor Swift lyric, "baby, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream," swanky socialite Victoria will pretty much stop at nothing to get what she wants. Murder isn't even off the table here...
Betty Draper, 'Mad Men'
Gorgeous and complicated ice queen Betty Draper has had her fair share of cringeworthy parenting moments. She's fired the family's beloved nanny for allowing Sally to say goodbye to her friend Glen (we won't even get into the whole Glen story here...), locked Sally in a closet, and ignored her children with the ole "go watch TV" rebuff more times than we can remember. Hopefully her master's in psychology will help her attitude, but we're thinking it's a bit too late...
Julie Cooper-Nichol, 'The OC'
Materialistic and manipulative momma Julie Cooper has quite the laundry list of parental offenses, even if she did learn a few lessons throughout "The OC''s run. She left her hubby when he lost his fortune, slept with her daughter's teenage ex-boyfriend, and consistently put down everyone in her midst, including her own kids. But despite all her evil-doing we couldn't look away, and not just because her hair was always on point.
Cersei Lannister, 'Game of Thrones'
Power-hungry schemer Cersei's children are the product of an incestuous relationship with her brother. So there's that. Plus, she spawned the heinous Joffrey... The scheming, lying queen may be wicked good fun to watch, but we couldn't imagine anything worse than bringing home a less-than-stellar report card to her every semester.
Maya Lewis, 'Scandal'
Let's see. Mama Pope is an international terrorist with a lengthy killing history who tried to kill her own daughter's boyfriend... AKA the President. And you thought your meddling mom was bad... Olivia Pope, how did you manage to grow into such a goddess?
