NASTY WOMEN WE LOVE
In honor of fierce females
Arya Stark, Game of Thrones
In a show rife with nasty women, Arya stands out as one of the finest. Orphaned at a young age and cast aside, Arya manages to smirk and stab her way through tough times.
Elizabeth Jennings, The Americans
She can seduce an American politician, assassinate him, and still get home in time to get the pot roast out of the oven for dinner. Nasty.
Claire Underwood, House of Cards
Frank Underwood might run the free world, but there’s no question who runs Frank.
Annalise Keating, How to Get Away with Murder
This high-powered attorney can get anyone acquitted of a crime. Even when the accused person is her.
Daenerys Targaryen, Game of Thrones
Whiles she’s not explicitly nasty most of the time, with three dragons and an army of eunuchs to do her bidding, she doesn’t really half to be.
Olivia Pope, Scandal
This DC fixer has the power to get the president out of trouble. Or in to it. It’s kind of up to her.
Cersei Lannister, Game of Thrones
By far the nastiest in the literal sense of the word, Cersei’s takes care of the people she loves just as dutifully as the ones she hates.
Cookie Lyon, Empire
The ultimate hustler, Cookie Lyon turned drug money into a multi-million dollar record label and she doesn’t let anyone, especially her ex-husband who profited off her jail stint, forget about it.
