13 Most Despicable Scumbag Characters In TV History

6. Gemma Teller Morrow - Sons Of Anarchy

Sons of Anarchy is pretty much full of despicable scumbags: most of the men are sociopathic killers obsessed with their MC, but it is the Queen of the club - the one person that keeps them together - Gemma Teller Morrow, who really takes the cake. While this Old Lady is probably more loyal to the club than all of its members, she often went very far in keeping it together. When her husband, John Teller, showed signs of wanting to change the club and move it into less illegal practices, she killed him with her lover, Clay Morrow. When it is revealed to the other club members that Clay was involved in Teller's death, she blamed it all on him to stay in Jax's good graces. She is the archetypal femme fatale, but given even more power, and her despicable actions knew no limits. Her scheming, manipulation, paranoia and insane protectiveness of her son and grandsons came to a climax in the most recent season (season six), when Tara is planning to take her grandsons away from Jax, her and the club. When Gemma discovered this, she turned total berserker, threatening Tara continuously and, eventually, killing her.
