Ranking 5 Worst Things Bernadette Ever Did on Big Bang Theory
Howard's wife is not exactly beloved by the fandom.
When Bernadette was first introduced to The Big Bang Theory, fans loved her to death, calling her sweet and caring. However, the writers decided to turn her into a bit of a monster for no apparent reason in the later seasons. Many people still dislike the character for some of her hurtful quips, but Bernadette's actions speak even louder than her words.
Here are the five worst things Bernadette did on TBBT.
5. She created a virus
As a microbiologist and scientist at a pharmaceutical company, Bernadette was in charge of creating cures for diseases and viruses, but it looks like her paychecks weren't big enough, because at one point she bragged about creating a deadly virus just to sell the cure to it. Yikes.
4. She looked at Howard's private letter from his father
Howard's father was one of the most problematic characters on the show, as he left his son and wife and started a new family, never even communicating with young Howard. When he decided to send his first son a letter, Howard was reluctant to open it and urged Bernadette not to look into it either. Of course, she did just that, and many viewers disapproved of this invasion of privacy.
3. She bullies her coworkers
While Bernadette seems quite innocent on the surface, she is a total beast in the workplace, contributing to the hostile work environment and spreading toxicity among her coworkers.
She even created the nickname 'Wheelchair Kathy' for one of the staff members, shaming the person for having a disability.
2. She took credit for Howard's accomplishments
When Howard was trying to fulfill his dream and go into space, Bernadette was viciously against it and threatened him in various ways. But when he actually went into space and became a hero against all odds, Bernadette began to casually take credit for sending him on the NASA mission, even though she tried to stop him earlier.
1. She berated Penny for not wanting children
The moment Bernadette started shaming Penny for not wanting children, many fans felt that Howard's wife was beyond saving, saying that her self-righteous attitude towards her friend was completely obnoxious.
