Top 10 TV Mean Girls

No YA or teen show is complete without a mean girl. After all, we need the perfect anti-heroine to pit against the hero. We love to hate her — she’s often beautiful, popular and has that confident queen bee quality that other doesn’t come easily to others. While they might show their sensitive side once in a while, don’t mistake it for weakness — they also have a truly evil side, and they’re not afraid to use it. Here are the best villainous women that made history as the top 10 mean girls of TV.

1. Blair Waldorf, Gossip Girl

This upper east side queen was known for her legendary put-downs and flawlessly chic fashion sense. She keeps her cool in every situation, and her goal is to take the throne — even if her bestie and other friends get in the way. Out of all the TV mean girls to date, no one can measure up to Blair Waldorf’s constant schemes.

2. Chanel Oberlin, Scream Queens

Ryan Murphy is a master at writing mean girls, and he did not disappoint with this master of the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority. It’s clear that Chanel, played by Emma Roberts, was born a fighter. She also wasn’t afraid to haze a pledge or two. Complete with an army of minions named after herself and insults that could make you cry, Chanel forced all her recruits to pledge allegiance to her.

3. Madison Montgomery, American Horror Story

Madison is everything a girl could wish for — she’s filled with charisma, confidence, and her looks aren’t too shabby, either. She was definitely born with a silver spoon, and she’s not willing to stoop to anyone beneath her. She’s ruthless, even with her loved ones, and uses her powers for vengeance and world domination.

4. Katherine Pierce, The Vampire Diaries

Katherine Pierce, the doppelgänger of Elena, embodies the definition of the word villain. She’s only loyal to herself, and her only goal in life is being #1, despite what happens to others in the process. She often comes between Damon and Stefan, who both love her, and often pretends to be Elena when it works for her. And that’s not even mentioning what she did to Jeremy. She might just be the scariest monster on the show to date.
