    Whitney Rose went on a rant against her Real Housewives of Salt Lake City castmates over the weekend, during which she expressed concern that she’d be fired.

    As she lashed out at Meredith Marks, 54, and Lisa Barlow, 51, claiming they lied about what went down between Meredith and Britani Bateman, 54, on the plane amid season six, Whitney, 39, spoke of lawsuits and suggested that producers of the Bravo series protect certain cast members.

    “Girl, I was on the airplane. Meredith is f*cking lying. Lisa Barlow is lying,” Whitney declared on Saturday, February 21, at the Brea Improv in California. “The only reason you don’t know the truth is cuz there are lawsuits from people that are way bigger [than] me.”

    After noting, “I could lose my job over this,” Whitney seemed to call out production.

    “The people who protect those b*tches from lying … Meredith accosted Britani on the airplane. She’s a f*cking b*tch. I hate her. I like Lisa better than I like Meredith,” she continued. 

    Then, when questioned further about the plane drama and about a potential secret recording, Whitney said that, legally, she couldn’t comment on the matter.

    “I’m going to be very clear. I can’t answer, and I cannot answer because it’s a legal issue,” she shared. “Let’s just say this: If five women saw the same thing, say the same thing. Let’s just say if [Mary Cosby] rallied around Britani, that’s the …”

    “I’m about to get fired,” Whitney admitted. 

    Also during the appearance, Whitney was asked if Lisa was “as big a c*nt in person” as she was on TV.

    “This is hard for me cuz I, we’re coming up on March, and it is [Women’s History] Month. So I actually support c*nts … even if I don’t like ’em,” she replied.

    @high.imlex The Q&A was SOOO GOOD😭😂👏🏻👀 @Whitney Rose didn’t hold back that’s why we love her🙂‍↕️✨ #rhoslc #bravotv #whitneyrose #meredithmarks #lisabarlow ♬ original sound – lex

    Fans had mixed reactions to Whitney’s video with some praising her and others suspecting she was drunk.

    “I love drunk whitney🤣🤣,” wrote one person.

    “We need this Whitney during the show ✨✨,” added another.

    “Whitney Rose and a glass of wine is the most entertaining duo ever,” a fan stated.

    “That empty wine glass. After watching her apologize on the reunion for drinking too much at Bravocon, and now this. Hope she’s doing ok and just having fun,” wrote a fourth person who seemed a bit concerned. 

    Back in January, after the plane drama played out on RHOSLC, Britani spoke to StyleCaster, claiming she was in the “fetal position, probably sucking [her] thumb” as Meredith went after her.

    “There was wine … My side was drenched in wine through the seats,” Britani alleged. “I had my earphones on, like headphones, not just like AirPods. I had my headphones, and I had my back away from the back of the seat so that I couldn’t feel anymore more because I was just tired of feeling it and just trying to zone in on Crazy Rich Asians. And I got to the end, literally just tried to zone in and not give any reaction whatsoever, just act like it wasn’t happening.”

    “I just didn’t want to give them the satisfaction of seeing me break. I held out until the very end, and then I started to break. I started to crumble,” she added.

    The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast is expected to begin filming season seven sometime this week.

  • Meredith Marks on Who She Still Talks to on RHOSLC Cast, Shades Fake Friends, and Reacts to Heather Ending Friendship, Plus Talks “Cathartic” Reunion, and Mary’s Concern

    [ad_1]

    Meredith Marks revealed which cast members she’s still speaking to after filming the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion on Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp‘s podcast on Monday.

    As she also targeted the co-stars who’ve pretended to be her friend, reacted to Andy Cohen‘s reunion walkoff, and responded to Heather Gay, 51, declaring that their friendship was over, Meredith, 54, described the reunion as “cathartic,” addressed her castmates’ efforts to isolate her and Lisa Barlow, 51, and spoke of Mary Cosby‘s concerns about her supposedly erratic behavior.

    “I’m not talking to most people,” Meredith admitted on the January 12 episode of Two Ts in a Pod.

    According to Meredith, she realized during the sixth season that she was being mistreated by her co-stars.

    “These women are sitting here and pushing you and bullying you to say you did all these things that aren’t true, and say all these things about you that aren’t true under the guise of being your friend, and it’s just not the case,” she stated. “You can’t sit here, like, when I say things about [Britani Bateman], I don’t pretend that I’m saying them out of kindness … to pretend that it’s because you’re my friend, whether its how Heather dealt with Lisa on the boat or how they dealt with me the whole second half of the season, it’s like, don’t pretend you’re my friend when you’re clearly trying to decimate me.”

    Reflecting on the reunion taping last month, Meredith described Andy’s walk-off as “crazy.”

    “No one [could] hear. I get it. When everybody’s yelling, it’s a waste of everyone’s time, and it’s a long day, so I get why he gets irritated with that,” she shared. 

    As for Heather saying their friendship was over, Meredith confirmed her reunion proclamation wasn’t the first time she’d echoed those words.

    “I don’t know what to tell you. She was screeching at me for two months, and even if she wasn’t, that’s how I felt. I’m expressing myself,” she stated. “You guys can sit here and say that I’m an alcoholic, a pill popper, mentally unstable, my husband [Seth Marks] cheats on me, this that and the other, you can make all these false accusations against me, and then I’m like, ‘You were screeching at me,’ and that’s it? So now our friendship’s over?”

    “Well then, I guess we didn’t have a friendship to begin with,” she added.

    Despite her drama with Heather, Meredith had a “great” experience at the reunion.

    “[It] was very cathartic because I felt like I could finally, really talk about things that I really wasn’t able to during the actual season, so for me, [the] reunion was pretty amazing,” she explained. “It was, to some of the women, very disappointing that they didn’t get the reactions they were looking for .. but I don’t think it will be for the audience. And I think you’ll see a lot of chaos.”

    Meredith also said “a lot more information” was revealed at the reunion.

    “A lot more, I don’t know, probably understanding,” she teased. “There was a lot of like, ‘Oh, Meredith, you don’t talk enough,’ and then you start talking, and the next one’s like, ‘Oh, you talk too much.’ I was kind of like, pigeonholed by the women.”

    Overall, Meredith felt that her issues with the cast were the result of many of the women wanting to put a divide between her and Lisa.

    “They just have a problem with me and Lisa, and it’s like, they feel like if they can isolate us by taking either of us out, then the other one is just done as well, because then they can all just come after us without anyone to support,” she noted. “Do I think everyone is thinking that? No. I think there is a group in the cast that does that, and then they rope everyone else in somehow.”

    Meredith then commented on her relationship with Mary.

    “Mary was a different situation,” she clarified. “She clearly did seem to be very, very, very concerned, and I felt horribly that she was upset and concerned by it, but I think she had a lot of people saying a lot of stuff all season long to her in her ear.”

    “I think they kind of convinced her of all of this … [and then] at BravoCon, her statement was a bit different,” Meredith continued. “She really backed off on it because I think she recognized that she had all these people in her ear trying to skew her into this direction, and when they’re all saying this over and over again, yeah, of course she’s gonna be afraid and concerned for her friend.”

    The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season six airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • RHOSLC’s Angie Katsanevas Explains Why Lisa & Meredith Have Each Other’s Backs No Matter What, Addresses Getting “Kicked Out” of Restaurant in Greece

    [ad_1]

    Angie Katsanevas said she questioned why Lisa Barlow and Meredith Marks rode so hard for each other this season on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and she suggested they perhaps started as “allies.” Angie also addressed getting “kicked out” of the restaurant in Greece.

    On the cast trip, Angie and her friends had yelling matches at a restaurant in Greece, the homeland of her family. A man at the restaurant then asked them to leave, claiming the restaurant was closing. Throughout the season, most of the fighting was directed at Meredith and Lisa, who fiercely defended each other despite their past feud.

    “What happened between Lisa and Meredith that made them link arms so strongly towards the back half of the season?” asked the host of SiriusXM’s Smith Sisters Live.

    “Originally, I just kind of [questioned], are they doing this just because they felt like everyone was against them?” Angie answered. “But look, they have history, obviously. And during tough times, you know, Heather and I went to high school together, and we went through a rough patch. But we came back together because we have history. So I guess we just have to acknowledge that they’ve got that history and they were able to move forward from some really dark moments.”

    But Angie suggested that they “started out as allies.”

    “That’s just kind of how I felt. Like, how can they really move on from all these things?” she said. “But, you know, they stayed true to each other. And I guess thank God they did, because I think it did feel [like] those two against the world at the finale.”

    At one point, Angie was asked how it felt to be “kicked out” of the restaurant in her “homeland.”

    “I mean, nobody gets kicked out of a restaurant in Greece,” she said. “And I will say, [the guy] was patient. He was kind. He was darling. … Greeks talk, [and it sounds like] fighting because they’re passionate. People would always say, well, why are they mad? Why? [My daughter would] say, why is she yelling? And I’m like, honey, that’s just how Aunt Kal and Aunt Rula and Aunt Rita talk. They’re just excited. They’re passionate.”

    “So Greeks are used to that. And they’re open all night long,” said Angie. “Greece does not close. So us getting kicked out was, like, a little embarrassing … And I just said, ‘Can we just have one more minute?’ He said, ‘No, ma’am, you must go. You get your things and leave. Good night. Thank you for coming.’ It was like, oh, my gosh, this is so embarrassing.”

  • RHOSLC Cast Shares Where They Stand After Season 6, Talk Surprising Reconciliations as Bronwyn Confirms She’s No Longer Speaking to Lisa and What Sealed the Deal on End of Friendship

    [ad_1]

    The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast is sharing where they stand with one another after season six.

    Following Tuesday night’s finale episode, Heather Gay, 51, Meredith Marks, 54, Angie Katsanevas, 52, and Britani Bateman, 54, spoke of the love they had for one another and looked ahead to their future as Bronwyn Newport, 40, confirmed she was no longer in contact with Lisa Barlow, 51, and explained her final straw with her co-star.

    “Listen, we are in it together,” Heather told Bravo HQ, via The Daily Dish. “There’s real love there. There is real history. There is real loyalty. Meredith said it best: She said, like, ‘Even when we’re fighting at our worst, like, if any one of these women were to call me, I would run to their doorstep.’ And I really feel that.”

    “I’ve lost a lot coming on this show, like family, community, security. And, like, I know that I can call on these women. … They understand my pain more than anyone else,” she added.

    While Meredith found herself at odds with many due to her allegedly erratic behavior throughout the season, including her supposed plane encounter with Britani, she confirmed she and Lisa are still in a “good place,” and she added that she’s in a decent spot with Angie as well.

    “Angie and I, I think, are in a good place, surprisingly,” she stated, admitting that she was “somewhat unsure about literally everybody else.”

    As for Angie, she said her relationships with the cast are “split down the middle.”

    “[I’ll] just see where everyone lands,” as far as taking “accountability,” she stated.

    “We’re a group of friends, so I hope there’s a couple people that can learn to move differently and watch themselves,” she continued. “Maybe this is, like, their year of growth and evolution and finding a new way to be a friend [who] doesn’t have to hurt people so deeply.”

    Meanwhile, Britani revealed she’s still “on the outs” with Meredith and Lisa, but she is in a “great” place with Angie, at least when they’re “outside the clique.” She is also “always good” with Heather and Whitney Rose, 39.

    Britani also talks to Bronwyn “about once a week,” and she feels she and Mary are “best friends in the making.”

    “She doesn’t know this yet, but Mary, we’re gonna be best friends someday,” she declared.

    In her own interview with Bravo HQ, also via The Daily Dish, Bronwyn said she does “not speak to Lisa.”

    “It would be hard for me to speak to Lisa. I believe she has me blocked on everything. I don’t know, but that’s the impression I get, because people have to screenshot me negative comments she says about me. I don’t actually see them in person,” she explained.

    As for what sealed the deal, Bronwyn said she “did not hear from” Lisa when her dad died unexpectedly in June 2025.

    “My dad passed after filming, and I heard from everybody on the cast, no matter where I stood with them at the end of filming, with the exception of Lisa,” Bronwyn shared. “And I think that kind of sums up why I’m just really not interested in anything from her at this point. If you don’t have sympathy for somebody who’s unexpectedly lost a parent, I’m really meaningless to you. And I don’t have people in my life who treat me that way, no.”

    Bronwyn said she was also “really truly hurt” by the discussions she and Lisa had at the season five reunion.

    “I thought we were much closer than she was making out to be on camera and in front of the women,” Bronwyn stated. “So, to have her say to me in New York, you know, ‘I never knew you. I never cared about you. You were never important to me,’ that was new information that I was processing in front of everyone watching at home. And it was really hurtful.”

    That said, Bronwyn hoped to re-establish her friendship with Lisa after the season.

    “I was like Goldilocks trying out different things with Lisa. First, I fought back and I was like ‘Oh, if I don’t mean anything to you, then I guess you won’t care if I bring up your lawsuits, or if I tell you I think you’re a liar,” she revealed. “It’s not natural to me to want to fight that way, and so you see me apologize to her. You see me just kind of say, ‘We’re just gonna be civil.’ And I realized, oh, we’re not even just gonna be civil. She’s gonna continue to talk about my daughter and this really sensitive thing that I specifically told her is hurtful to my child. It’s hurtful to my family.”

    “But I am hoping the best for Baby Gorgeous, always,” she added. “Whether or not I wanna see her is a different story.”

    The three-part Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season six reunion begins next Tuesday, January 13, at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • Meredith Marks Accuses RHOSLC Cast of Trying to Hurt Her and Drive Her & Lisa Apart as Lisa Denies Meredith’s Erratic Behavior

    [ad_1]

    Credit: Casey Durkin/Bravo

    Meredith Marks and Lisa Barlow are fighting back against the suggestion that Meredith acted erratically amid the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast’s recent trip to Greece.

    As Meredith, 54, defended herself against claims made by Mary Cosby, 53, by suggesting that certain cast members were determined to hurt her and cause a divide between her and Lisa, 51, which has led her to draw back from them, Lisa explained why Meredith acted as she did and shared why she often comes to her rescue.

    “I have plenty going on that I don’t share with the group, because why would I be vulnerable with people who are looking to hurt me?” Meredith asked during a December 30 interview with Bravo HQ. 

    According to Meredith, she feels she’s “calm” and “composed,” despite her castmates’ antics against her.

    “These women have a long goal of making me get upset. And they like to poke and prod and poke and prod and poke and prod and wrongfully accuse me of all kinds of things, and they’ll set me up with this one saying, ‘You should talk more.’ So, you start talking. The next one’s like, ‘Don’t talk,’” she explained.

    Meredith also called out the cast for “trying to put a thorn in between [her] and Lisa” for “years and years.”

    “I don’t know why they are so afraid of us being friends. It’s so weird. I don’t care who’s friends with who. I hope they’re all friends with each other, whether I get along with them or not. You should be friends with whoever you want to be friends with. Who cares? If you’re somebody’s friend, you’re not looking to decimate them in a group,” she noted.

    Meanwhile, in her own interview with Bravo HQ, Lisa denied that Meredith had acted erratically in Greece.

    “When you’re in a group of girls, and you know that your friends are not being your friend, you put up a different kind of wall. She’s reacting emotionally to what they’re saying and doing to her,” she reasoned. “That’s all I see happening. She’s like, feeling your negative energy and [putting] up a wall about it.”

    Looking back at the attacks she and Meredith have sustained from their RHOSLC co-stars, Lisa said that the two of them have faced similar drama.

    “I’m sick of my marriage being talked about. I’m sick of my business, my marriage, my face, my faith, all of it, I’m sick of it. Put yourself in Meredith’s shoes. She’s going through the same thing. They do the exact same thing to her,” she noted, explaining, “That’s why I jump in, and I’m like, ‘This is wrong,’ and then all of a sudden, they’re like, ‘Oh, we can’t take Meredith down because Lisa’s here so now we’re gonna target our energy at Lisa.’”

    Admittedly, Lisa sticks up for Meredith “a lot,” which she feels “bothers” her castmates.

    “They don’t want me sticking up for Meredith. They want her isolated, alone, so she feels even more on the outs with everyone. I don’t like it. I don’t think it’s nice,” she concluded.

  • REPORT: RHOSLC’s Meredith Marks Charges $65,000 for a Combined Appearance Fee, Find Out What She Gets Paid for Social Media Promo

    [ad_1]

    Meredith Marks appears to be cashing in on the fame she’s seen as a result of her role on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

    According to a recent report shared on social media, Meredith, 54, who has been featured on the Bravo reality series in a full-time role in each of its six seasons, charges a whopping $65,000 for a combined appearance fee — and that doesn’t include the costs of her travel and glam, or social media posts.

    On December 24, Real Legend on X shared details regarding Meredith’s alleged charges, noting that CAA, which she signed with in February 2024, was “putting in the work.”

    In a screenshot, it was stated that Meredith charged a “$65k combined appearance fee,” plus “first class travel, accommodations, hair, [and] makeup,” and that the deal included two appearances, with a spa anniversary and an evening LGBTQ+ event, for up to 60 minutes each. A professional meet-and-greet with photos and name-and-image use for event promotion before the event was also included in the fee. 

    What wasn’t included were social media posts, press interviews, and product endorsements, which cost between $8,000 to $15,000, “depending on usage.”

    Prior to the reveal of Meredith’s reported appearance fee, the same page on X shared a video of the RHOSLC cast member at one of her DJ gigs, in which she performed in front of a screen that read, “My huzzband does not have a mistress in Columbus, Ohio.”

    This was, of course, a nod to a past storyline on the show, in which Britani Bateman, 54, repeated a rumor in which Meredith’s husband, Seth Marks, was accused of being unfaithful.

    “Meredith Marks is the ONLY Real Housewife who doesn’t let her time on the show go to waste. She sees a business opportunity in every one-liner, every storyline, every iconic moment. A true [businesswoman],” the page declared with its post.

  • Bronwyn Newport on What She Didn’t Like About Herself on RHOSLC, Meredith’s Lack of Accountability in Plane Drama, and Cameras Magnifying Marital Issues With Todd, Plus Real Issue With Lisa, and Who She’s Closest to

    [ad_1]

    Bronwyn Newport

    Bronwyn Newport shared her thoughts on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and what she’s learned from her time on the show, while appearing on a podcast last week.

    As she admitted to feeling like a “snitch,” reacted to Meredith Marks, 54, not being accountable in her alleged plane feud with Britani Bateman, 54, and spoke of her marital problems with Todd Bradley, Bronwyn, 40, accused certain co-stars after displaying edited versions of themselves on the show, explained her real issue with Lisa Barlow, 51, and revealed who she’s closest to on the cast.

    “It’s been really interesting getting to know most of the women on the show and really interesting getting to know myself,” Bronwyn noted on the December 9 episode of Lovett or Leave It. “Seeing yourself in a different way, watching yourself back, watching your relationships back, seeing what they look like, maybe seeing a pattern I didn’t know that I had or that I always did … has been eye-opening to say the least.”

    According to Bronwyn, she noticed a pattern of snitchery in watching herself back.

    “I would’ve said before doing this show that I was a very loyal person. I would’ve said that that’s something that people really valued in their friendships with me and as I watch on the show … I didn’t realize how quick I am to be like, ‘Nope, that’s not what was said. This is what was said.’ I end up kind of spilling the secrets all the time, and it took people kind of saying, ‘I don’t like that about you. As I watch the show, I don’t like how often it seems like you run and tell.’”

    Although Bronwyn hoped for accountability when she shared what her co-stars said about the cast, she felt differently after the scenes aired.

    “I’m like, ‘I’m kind of a snitch actually. That isn’t so fun. I don’t love that about me,’” she admitted.

    Looking back at her decision to speak of Meredith with Whitney Rose, 39, Bronwyn said she “thought it was the right thing to do” at the moment.”

    “I really am trying to be friends with Whitney, and I really am trying to be friends with Meredith. And Whitney was telling me something about her experience with Meredith on a plane that she really wanted to confide in me, and then I thought, ‘Damn, my friend Meredith is really gonna hate that we had this conversation and it’s gonna surprise her,’” she explained. 

    In learning about what went down between Meredith and Britani from both sides of the situation, Bronwyn initially felt like someone was exaggerating — at the very least.

    “I had a lot of questions about how it could’ve happened the way everyone said, without there being some sort of video, photo, law enforcement, banned from American Airlines, I don’t know. I was like, ‘There’s no way this happened,’” she shared. “[But] everyone has a pretty similar story, other than Lisa and Meredith, of what happened.”

    As for Meredith’s lack of accountability, Bronwyn suggested that she should have acknowledged her co-stars’ feelings.

    “Meredith doesn’t think she did anything wrong, and that’s fair, she can think that way, but she has to, in a group of friends, be able to hear many of her friends saying, ‘You made us feel uncomfortable. You made so-and-so feel scared. You made so-and-so cry. This person felt like you were out of control.’ And at least be able to say, ‘Okay, I went further than I thought,’ or, ‘I went too far for you,’” she reasoned. “To not have anything to be sorry for when everyone feels so wronged, I don’t know.”

    Moving on to her thoughts on the cameras, Bronwyn confessed to being “a little defensive of [herself] and [her] family.”

    “Since the cameras have been here, I happen to have had a very difficult two years — lots of health problems in my family and some marital challenges that the spotlight magnifies and all these kinds of things,” she explained.”

    That said, she did her best to prioritize self-revelation over self-preservation.

    “You can’t be friends with somebody if you don’t reveal who you are and be vulnerable with them,” she stated, adding that certain women show a “more controlled” version of themselves on camera.

    “There does feel like this dynamic shift, maybe within the group of people who are willing to share, people who are willing to admit when they’re wrong, people who want to hear what other people are saying, and some friends in the group who maybe don’t want to be told when they’ve hurt you or when they’re wrong or when you differ from them,” she signaled.

    Moving on to Lisa, Bronwyn said the two of them have had a hard time in their relationship. 

    “Lisa says we were acquaintances before the show. I thought we were friends. Whatever that is, it’s different now than it used to be, for sure, and I’m as much to blame for that, I think, as she is, if I’m being totally fair and taking my own culpability in things,” she admitted. “But I think part of it is, for me, the friendship is more important and … maybe the show is more important for Lisa.”

    “She wants to be right on camera. She wants the audience to feel like what she did and how she handled me was correct, whereas I don’t really care what the audience thinks about her versus me. I’d like it to be good between us, or at least neutral,” Bronwyn continued. 

    As for the straw that broke the camel’s back, Bronwyn pointed to a moment from season five.

    “Lisa was willing to say things about my family that I don’t think she would’ve wanted said about her family on camera. So I kept feeling like, okay, well, if we’re not friends, it’s not any of your business what happens in my family, and if we are friends, and you wouldn’t put that on camera, why should I?” she asked. 

    “And I don’t ever know if we are show friends or real friends. I think maybe right now, we’re neither,” she added.

    Then, after revealing that she brought up a tweet that accused Todd of cheating on her because she thought that was the plane drama her castmates were in an uproar about, Bronwyn confirmed who she’s closest to on the cast.

    “[Mary Cosby], Whitney, [Angie Katsanevas], in that order, are who I’m closest with,” she shared. “I speak to Mary quite a bit, and it is me reaching out. I love Mary, I love confiding in Mary. I love when Mary kind of sets me straight when I’m spiraling out of control. Mary might be the softer Todd in my life at this point. And Todd and Mary actually really get along and really respect each other, which I appreciate and love.”

    “Whitney and I have spent a lot of time together this season … I respect most of what Whitney does, and I respect that when I don’t respect what she’s done, that she can handle that … not everybody can handle that,” Bronwyn went on.

    Regarding the rest of the cast, Bronwyn said she likes Angie, is in a “good place” with Heather Gay, 51, and is in a “decent place” with Britani.

    “Meredith and I were really bonding over certain things this season, and it was really meaningful to me … [I’m] trying to figure out if Meredith and I are as close as I think we are and if we are, can that new closeness sustain some criticism I have for her,” she concluded.

  • Sutton Stracke on If She’s Heard From Garcelle & Avi Since RHOBH Premiere, Claims That Cast Was Unfriendly at BravoCon & Erika’s Diss, Plus Says Robbers Stole Over $1 Mil of Bags & Jewelry

    [ad_1]

    Sutton Stracke addressed where she stands with Garcelle Beauvais and Avi Gabay after their falling out, and reacted to Erika Jayne’s “box” diss. She also clapped back at the claim that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast was unfriendly at BravoCon, as she shared more details about her shocking home invasion.

    At last year’s reunion, Garcelle refused to join the group in a cast photo – and later suggested that her good friend Sutton didn’t defend her. Garcelle soon decided to leave the show (and her friendship with Sutton). Not long after, Sutton parted ways with her longtime assistant Avi, though the reason is unclear. Recently, Garcelle and Avi were spotted hanging out together in photos.

    “Has Avi or Garcelle reached out since the season premiere?” reporter Danny Murphy asked Sutton on Virtual Reali-Tea.

    “No,” Sutton answered. “I think with both of those relationships, there was a lot of healing that happened for me with Garcelle … It’s just different. My life is different now, it’s in a different place … I think you have to find some peace in that kind of … a relationship split like that.”

    Sutton then reacted to Erika’s claim in the season premiere that Sutton looks like a “box.”

    “It stung, but I let it go,” she said. “Maybe we’ll revisit it, you know, but it’s going to be interesting to watch Erika and I grow together as friends … I think it’s going to be good.”

    In an interview for Us Weekly, Sutton also reacted to Heather Gay (Real Housewives of Salt Lake City) and Below Deck’s Kate Chastain’s allegation that the cast of RHOBH wasn’t friendly at BravoCon.

    “I saw Kate briefly going, but for Heather Gay, I didn’t see her,” said Sutton. “I had sent her, like, a text or message about a month ago. And then I’m friends with Meredith [Marks] on Salt Lake and Mary [Cosby] and Angie [Katsanevas], and I went out for dinner the last night of BravoCon. So I don’t know, I’m not quite sure what they’re referring to.”

    Sutton also reacted to Garcelle’s claim that she would consider returning to RHOBH if Erika left.

    “I thought that was so interesting for her to say, because I’m like, shouldn’t it be me that you don’t want on the show?” Sutton quipped. “But I don’t know.”

    As for Garcelle’s recent photos with Avi, Sutton expressed, “I didn’t even see it when it came out. Jennifer Tilly showed me … So, you know, that’s their business. If they want to be friends and go to the premiere and go to parties together, then, you know, good. Have at it.”

    But Sutton didn’t seem to have many regrets concerning the reunion.

    “I had a lot on my plate going into that reunion, on my own plate,” she stated, “and I had to put my oxygen mask on first.”

    Speaking to ABC News’ Nightline, Sutton addressed the burglary at her home during BravoCon.

    “It feels strange to know that there were three men in my house in my room going through my drawers,” explained Sutton, who shared that she lost more than $1 million in luxury handbags and jewelry. “Those are…gonna be [family] heirlooms … Not to mention also this strange sense of somebody was in here.”

    According to Sutton, the police knew the home had been robbed, as the front door was open the next morning when her dog walker came to the house.

    “My big kitchen window was shattered everywhere,” she said, via Parade. “I never conjured the idea that somebody was watching this show to break into my house … Maybe it was because I’m on this television show. But I have to remember that my next-door neighbor was broken into a couple of years ago … I can’t allow myself to live in fear of being on this show and not letting our viewers experience things in its most authentic, truest form.”

  • REPORT: Meredith Marks May Not Return for RHOSLC Season 7 After Allegedly Turning Down a Demoted Role

    [ad_1]

    Meredith Marks may not be featured on the upcoming seventh season of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City due to the behavior she exhibited on season six.

    Following a controversial moment that reportedly took place between her and her co-star, Britani Bateman, 54, during which she was accused of humiliating Britani, 54, and leaving her in tears, a source has suggested that an impending cast shakeup could leave the series without Meredith, 54.

    “Many people [are] having issues [with Meredith Marks and] don’t want to film with her currently, given what went on this season,” an insider close to production alleged to Radar Online on December 15.

    As RHOSLC fans will recall, Meredith’s issues with Britani reached a high note when the latter mentioned a “possible indiscretion” by her husband, Seth Marks. After the claim was made amid a cast trip, Meredith was accused of berating Britani on the plane ride home.

    “I slipped off into sleep and was awoken by Meredith raging and making a scene,” Heather Gay, 51, recalled.

    Mary Cosby, 53, spoke of the incident as well, saying, “Meredith started reliving what Britani said, started getting upset, and started going off. And she dwelled on it and dwelled on it. And she could not come back from it. And it just spiraled for hours.”

    Meanwhile, Britani said she was “humiliated” and “started bawling.”

    “I just couldn’t take it anymore. I’ve never been treated like that in my life,” she stated.

    According to the insider, no one knows yet what decisions will be made, but there is “speculation Meredith won’t return to the show.”

    “There are rumors floating around stating she was downgraded, and she rejected that. While I can’t confirm that, I can say that I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t return next season,” the source explained. 

    As for the alleged encounter between Meredith and Britani, the insider agreed it was “really bad.”

    “She can try to tell her version of events as she’s done on the show, but think about it, when someone like Mary Cosby, who absolutely cannot stand Britani, is coming to her defense over what happened… it just doesn’t seem like that would happen if it wasn’t true,” they shared. “Also, so many of the women share the same story, and Meredith is the only one who seems to differ on what happened. Lisa Barlow has mostly backed her, which kind of reeks of them having some sort of agreement before the season to have each other’s backs – but aside from that… everyone seems on the same page.”

    “Only time” will tell what will happen with season seven, the insider continued, “but… a lot of the cast is definitely not happy with Meredith and where things stand right now.”

    The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season six airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • RHOSLC’s Meredith Marks Suggests Whitney is Projecting About “Dumb” Substance Abuse Claims as Whitney Accuses Bronwyn of Spinning Narrative and Heather Calls Out Bronwyn

    [ad_1]

    Meredith Marks is clapping back at Whitney Rose after learning that she allegedly suggested she was suffering from some sort of substance abuse issues on Tuesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

    As Bronwyn Newport, 40, defended her decision to relay what Whitney, 39, had said to Meredith, 53, and Heather Gay, 51, put in her two cents, Meredith accused Whitney of projecting, and Whitney lashed out at Bronwyn for spinning the narrative.

    “Whitney Rose strikes again. It’s nothing new. She’s done this every single year. And usually it’s a projection of her own issues,” Meredith declared during a November 25 interview for Bravo HQ. “So, it’s just kind of a funny comment and pretty dumb, but what do you expect from Whitney?”

    According to Whitney, she said what she said about Meredith to Bronwyn “in confidence” and doesn’t appreciate Bronwyn speaking on her behalf.

    “I cannot believe that she did that because she actually spun what I said,” she clarified. “I didn’t say, ‘I think Meredith has a substance issue.’ I said, ‘Meredith’s behavior was so erratic and crazy.’ And Bronwyn asked me what I thought caused it.”

    Recalling their discussion, Whitney suggested that Meredith may have “mixed” something, as it’s “very common for people to take a sleeping pill on a plane and then drink wine.”

    “For Bronwyn to then go behind my back and run to Meredith and spin the narrative, that was infuriating … I lost a lot of trust in Bronwyn,” she concluded.

    As for Bronwyn, she stood by her decision to tell Meredith what Whitney said.

    “I wouldn’t wanna have been blindsided by someone saying that about me behind my back,” she reasoned. “I feel like that’s a life-changing accusation.”

    Because Bronwyn felt that she didn’t “do a good enough job” standing up for Meredith during her conversation with Whitney, she believed giving her a heads-up was the next best thing.

    “If everybody thinks that’s sneaky or behind the back, then I guess I’m sneaky or behind the back,” she admitted. “I wish Meredith had valued more that I tried to give her that heads up. I was really trying to be a friend to Meredith in that moment. I didn’t know I was gonna get thrown under the bus.”

    “There was a better way to handle it,” she continued. “I took the medium road. I didn’t take the one that was gonna get me in trouble with everyone. I took the road that was gonna get me in trouble with one person. It’s tricky. It’s tricky with these women.”

    Also speaking to Bravo HQ, Heather called out Bronwyn for failing to take accountability for her role in the claims against Meredith.

    “Bronwyn’s the one that said it too, and brought it up, so the fact that she’s passing the baton to Whitney is interesting,” she stated. “I think they did have a conversation about it. I wasn’t privy to it, and I think it’s a little bit ridiculous to bring up substance abuse at a drunken wine lunch.”

  • RHOSLC Recap: Meredith is Accused of Being “Black Out” Drunk on the Plane as She Gets Defensive and Calls Britani a “Sad Specimen,” Britani Tries to Make Amends with Her Daughter; Plus, Meredith and Britani Meet to Clear the Air

    [ad_1]

    After Mary‘s uplifting church service, a social event is planned in an effort to fix the fractured group.  On this episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, accountability and forgiveness seem to be the theme.  But when Meredith’s mental health and drinking gets questioned, it seems like moving on is impossible.  Britani and Meredith’s meeting can only end two ways, but first it’s important to remember what really went down on that plane ride… 

    The friendships have been fractured after the wild plane episode and so Mary is hopeful that a little aged champagne can make it all okay at her Sunday social event.

    When Lisa and Meredith enter the restaurant, a snarky Angie mutters, “your guests are here.”  It’s fitting that Mary has beta fish as the centerpieces, considering they are also called fighting fish…so apropos for the situation the ladies are in now.

    The tension is thick and the silence is awkward until Mary speaks.  She explains that they are all there because she considers them to be true friends.  Britani, on the other hand, was formally called to be told she is NOT invited.  When Britani called Mary the “least Christ-like” person, she dug her own grave.  Even though during said phone call Britani apologized for the comment, she still did not make the cut to Mary’s social event.

    Mary points out that if Britani can apologize, then Lisa and Meredith should be able to, as well.  Heather jumps in to explain that the great trip ended in such a lousy way, but Meredith points out they never even discussed what happened on the plane. How could there not be video evidence of this alleged fight?! Asking for a friend…

    Meredith admits that she was reacting to Britani’s malicious actions (ie: bringing up TikTok rumors regarding Seth’s infidelity).  Lisa explains that Meredith was beyond upset. Whitney believes that Meredith was taunting Britani, but Lisa continues to protect Meredith. 

    According to Whitney, Meredith’s tone was loud and raucous for over two hours. However, Meredith continues to play down the situation, stating she was merely venting to a friend for maybe thirty minutes. 

    Meredith does not understand how these actions could make her the bad guy.   According  to Meredith, she slept and watched two movies, so it could not have been that long of a rant.

    Angie wonders what happened at the end of this movie (a bold move questioning the plot!) and Meredith claims she cannot remember. Whitney wonders if Meredith was sleep-talking, since she heard Meredith the entire flight. 

    Lisa jumps in and says that Meredith has a right to lose her marbles sometimes. Meredith states that she feels bad she hurt Britani’s feelings (not truly a heartfelt apology); however, Britani does not feel bad for hurting Meredith’s. 

    Heather has little sympathy for Meredith stating, “You lost the right to cry when you guys harassed her [Britani] on the plane.” Heather calls Lisa and Meredith bullies and tells Meredith SHE is the one in the wrong.

    Meredith cannot believe how judgmental Heather is behaving. Heather knows that Lisa knows she was part of the problem. Why else didn’t she go through customs with the group?! Lisa goes on to weave a tale involving global entry and Kendrick Lamar, claiming she was doing anything to avoid talking to Britani. 

    Mary makes it known that she is not attacking Meredith. In fact, they supported her after what Britani did on the yacht. It’s just that Meredith took it too far…

    Meredith claims that she knows what she said, but Angie can’t figure out why the stories are not lining up. Mary is mostly concerned with the fact that Meredith does not remember the severity of the venting. Meredith insinuates that she knows some people talk about her, throwing Bronwyn right under the bus. 

    You see, Whitney spoke to Bronwyn about Meredith’s excessive drinking the day of the infamous plane ride and Bronwyn reported back to Meredith about what was said.  Meredith reminds the group that she does not have a substance abuse problem. But now Bronwyn is annoyed that Meredith outed her. Great- more drama!

    Later, we learn that Bronwyn is not a US citizen. She was born in Brazil and her parents are from the UK.  Although she has dual citizenship in both countries, she is now trying to become an American citizen so she can go to jury duty (woof!).  

    Lisa and Meredith meet for nails and they discuss the “nonsense” from the lunch. Meredith is shocked by Heather’s lack of support and Whitney’s judgment of her mental health and drinking.  These false rumors are damaging and Meredith makes fun of Whitney’s “hilling.”

    Lisa explains she met up with Britani.  Britani’s recollection of what happened on the flight is inaccurate, according to Lisa. Lisa feels like now she is in a good space with Britani and feels bad that her feelings got hurt.

    Meredith claims she will be the bigger person and move on, considering Britani is a “sad specimen.”  She is now willing to sit down with her. 

    Whitney pulls up to Heather’s house with a U-Haul truck. Naturally, they are having a funeral for Heather’s marital mattress.  It is time to start fresh and symbolically, this mattress is all that Heather was. 

    Whitney and Heather head to a mattress recycling center and on the way, Heather discusses being at war with Meredith. Whitney feels like she is Meredith’s scapegoat. Even though she is frustrated, Whitney is the most worried about Meredith’s blacking out. These are all triggers to Whitney since she has dealt with addicts for years.

    Britani is finally realizing the importance of reconnecting with her daughter, Olivia, now more than ever. Olivia explains that she never felt like her mother’s priority once Britani married her second husband. According to her daughter, it was like seven years of Britani neglecting her children and pouring herself into the step-kids. 

    This trauma  is heartbreaking to hear. Britani’s daughter goes on to explain that for years, she did not feel loveable. It’s reassuring for her daughter that Britani realizes what she did was wrong.

    Speaking of familial relationships, Bronwyn is desperately trying to keep her daughter and mother in her house (because she does not want to be stuck alone with Todd?). When Bronwyn learns that her daughter wants to move to Portland and her mom wants to move out, Bronwyn becomes concerned since she has never been an adult alone. Her mom actually shows some emotion when Bronwyn explains that she is feeling left behind. 

    Some time must’ve lapsed because Meredith is no longer in her boot. She reached out to Britani and Britani is hopeful that Meredith will give an apology during this meet up. 

    Meredith starts off by dancing around a clear apology, but eventually lands on how she tries to treat people with kindness and respect. Meredith explains she is sorry that Britani heard her talking and that she feels terrible. 

    Britani chooses to forgive Meredith and admits that it was shady to bring up the TikTok, as it was a trigger for Meredith. The reality is that Britani WAS trying to hurt Britani, but at the end of the day, they are willing to go forward. They choose to move on with some civility…hey, it’s a place to start.

  • RHOSLC Recap: Meredith is Accused of Pulling Britani’s Hair During Meltdown on Plane, Bronwyn Kicks Todd Out of Their Home and Talks Open Marriages With Whitney

    [ad_1]

    The problem with a yacht is that these ladies can’t really escape when the fighting starts.  Britani is feeling the wrath of Meredith when she brings up a rumor about Seth and a mistress.  But it’s what happens in the air that drives this episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Meredith allegedly unleashes on Britani (with the help of her minion, Lisa) on the plane ride home and now the group is even more divided…

    In an attempt to bring some Zen to the group, Captain Jason leads Heather, Angie, Whitney, and Britani in a yoga session.  But Britani is finding it hard to stay calm after the night she had with Meredith.  In the meantime, Meredith talks to Lisa about what went down. 

    She calls Britani disgusting and likens her to the Tin Man since she, too, apparently does not have a brain.  Why would she ever repeat a TikTok rumor and think it would end well?  Meredith is also angry with Whitney, who saw this video, yet chose not to give Meredith a heads up sooner.

    Because she knows just how angry Meredith is at Britani, Bronwyn decides to add fuel to the fire.  She brings Uni, the stuffed unicorn gifted to Britani from Jared, to Meredith’s room and together they decide to see if Uni can float.  Since Meredith cannot throw Britani overboard, the stuffy is the next best thing. 

    Bronwyn insists that in order to pull this off, they need to be in costume…naturally. The costumes do the opposite of make them incognito, considering they are wearing blow up animal suits that make them stick out like sore thumbs.  However, it does not stop them from chucking Uni into the sea.

    Over breakfast, Meredith explains that her bigger issue is with Whitney, despite “pea brain” Britani bringing the information to her attention. Meredith feels like Whitney co-signed watching the videos claiming Seth’s infidelity. Britani tries to direct Meredith’s anger back on her and claims she brought up the rumor out of “kindness,” but no one buys her story.

    As they dock, Britani and Meredith bicker over who is more filled with hate. Bronwyn tries to help Britani, but Meredith claims if anyone tries to support Britani, she will be done with them.  How can Meredith move on from Lisa digging up dirt on her family but carry on about Britani? 

    The group begins to pack up, but Britani realizes she can’t find her unicorn. Meredith gifts Captain Jason with her captain’s cap and Heather thanks the crew with a fat tip envelope.  But before they can head out, a member of the crew runs back out with Uni.  Britani realizes it is wet and Bronwyn and Meredith admit that they threw him overboard.  Bronwyn claims it was a joke, but Britani thinks it’s just plain cruel.

    Here is where the episode turns.  Before they even got on the plane, Meredith was apparently “completely out of her mind.”  She was yelling because Britani talked about her marriage and was making a scene at the airport (and yet we have no footage?). 

    Once on the plane, Britani was seated right in front of Meredith.  Whitney explains that Meredith was talking so loudly about Britani that the entire first class could hear…so loudly that Britani could hear Meredith through her headphones. 

    Meredith and Britani are telling two very different stories about the plane ride, but it seems like most of the women agree that Britani melted into a puddle of tears after withstanding Meredith taunting her the entire flight.  Meredith apparently took her anger with Britani too far, but Meredith points out that she was not arrested by an air marshal so it must not have been THAT bad.  We needed Andy and a camera on that plane!

    Back in SLC, Lisa, while eating her infamous french fries, talks a mile a minute to John about what happened on the plane. She has never seen Meredith that upset.

    Heather meets with a clearly shaken Britani, who is still reeling from the events that occurred at the end of the trip. Heather claims that there are no circumstances to justify the way she was treated by Meredith. Heather thinks that Meredith and Lisa feed off of each other and wishes that Britani woke her up during the flight.  Britani talks about hair pulling and Meredith shaking her seat.  When Heather DID wake up, Meredith and Lisa supposedly came at her for defending Britani. 

    Britani can’t believe that Lisa would turn on her, especially since she has defended her in the past when no one else has. The “ultimate betrayal” is Lisa egging Meredith on and Britani feels broken after all that occurred.  Heather brought Britani into this group and feels bad because Lisa and Meredith have clearly taken it too far.

    Whitney and Bronwyn get together to talk about the infamous flight. Whitney refers to Meredith as unhinged and shares that Lisa was aiding the rage that was spewed by Meredith. Bronwyn points out that this happened on a commercial flight, yet there is no video footage, a thought I have to agree with!

    Bronwyn goes on to explain that perhaps Todd AND Meredith need a reminder of flight etiquette.  Bronwyn is trying to get in front of a recent Twitter rumor.  Someone snapped a picture of Todd on a plane looking at other women…who are not his wife.  When Bronwyn asked Todd about this, he said, “ask your friends-they love to gossip.”  Not, “I’m sorry?” 

    The biggest shocker however came when Bronwyn admitted she kicked Todd out of their house for the night. “I told Todd he needed to stay at a hotel that night,” confessed Bronwyn in her confessional. Go girl!

    Bronwyn then expresses interest in an open marriage and claims she wants to evolve with Todd.  If he told her he wanted to sleep with other people with her or without her, she would prefer that over secret cheating. However, there is no formal agreement in their marriage. 

    Whitney opens up about her friends who have different marital agreements.  She explains that she is not in an open marriage, but she brings anything she thinks to Justin.  There is nothing behind each other’s backs.  Life is meant to be lived, but the ladies talk about how things need to work, especially with older husbands.  They have to remain a partnership and communicate wants and needs.

    Angie takes some time to chat with her daughter, Elektra, about their Greek heritage.  Angie is realizing that her daughter connects more with her husband’s side of the family, but wants Elektra to always remember her roots.  Angie discusses her desire for dual citizenship, but Elektra seems disinterested in her mom’s Greek chatter.

    Heather waits for over an hour for Lisa to roll up and Lisa does not even apologize for being late.  Lisa refers to the flight home as “a lot.” Heather wonders how it escalated to Britani not wanting to be around Lisa.  All Lisa claims she did was ask Britani for the TikTok video to deescalate the situation.  Heather points out that it seemed like a gang-up on Britani, but Lisa denies this.  Meredith was yelling at Lisa about the video the whole time and Lisa states that if there was a problem, someone should have stepped in.

    Lisa claims she was “preserving her peace” in not helping Britani once they landed. Lisa basically says that Britani deserved it on the plane.  Lisa refuses to admit to bullying Britani and reminds Heather that she cannot control Meredith.

    Heather is shocked to hear Lisa say she did nothing wrong. Lisa just wants Britani to take accountability (hello pot, meet kettle). Lisa claims she has tried to be nice to Britani in the past, but when it comes to Meredith and her marriage, Lisa draws the line.

    Heather calls BS.  She saw what happened on the plane and she is sick of Lisa trying to change the reality of what went down. Britani is scared to be around Lisa and Meredith now, but Lisa is not backing down.

    Mary sits down with Meredith and tries to get to the bottom of what happened on the airplane. Mary reminds Meredith that she was there and so she doesn’t *think* anything happened, she knows what happened. Meredith claims the reality is she “vented” to a friend and everything she said to Lisa are all things she said to Britani. Mary tells Meredith that she feels concerned because it went on longer than Meredith is admitting to.  

    Why is Meredith coming up with a different story than what really happened? Mary claims that every time she woke up, she heard Meredith. Meredith says that she was in her feelings, but Mary wants Meredith to simply remember what happened…correctly.

    Mary states that she was concerned about Meredith’s behavior and wants her to take some accountability. Meredith calls it a “shame” that Britani heard the venting, but she firmly believes that Whitney got into Mary’s ear about the flight. Meredith refers to this drama as a “big nothing sandwich,” but if Meredith doesn’t apologize, who knows where this is going?

  • RHOSLC’s Lisa Barlow Shades Whitney’s Lifestyle & Hints Angie’s Been Digging Up Dirt, Plus She Reacts to Heather Accusing Her of Being Source of Dirt, Captain Sandy’s Claim, Lawsuits, & Todd Diss

    [ad_1]

    Credit: Sergi Alexander/Bravo

    Lisa Barlow got emotional on Tuesday’s Watch What Happens Live after being asked about Heather Gay accusing her of leaking information about the cast to bloggers.

    While also shading the lifestyle of Whitney Rose, 39, seemingly accusing Angie Katsanevas, 51, of digging up dirt on her and Bronwyn Newport, 40, and reacting to Below Deck: Mediterranean‘s Captain Sandy Yawn, 60, calling her out, the 50-year-old Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star offered an update on the lawsuits against her, clapped back at Todd Bradley, 66, and admitted to being hurt by Heather, 51.

    “I felt like it was a little snaky, and it hurt my feelings a lot because I thought we were in a great place,” Lisa explained on the October 28 episode of WWHL. “We’ve gone through so much together, and two years ago she said to me, ‘I wanted everyone to hate you, and when they did, it still didn’t feel good.’ So it really hurt me that she went back.”

    After starting to cry, Lisa reacted to the idea that lashing out made her seem guilty.

    “No, because what happened is, Bronwyn sat down at the table and she immediately said, ‘I felt like Whitney did it,’ and she said she got her information from Dana Wilkey. And that’s where I stood up for Whitney and said, ‘No one here would do that. Whitney wouldn’t do that. None of us here would do it.’ And then Whitney, instead of being like, ’Thank you,’ was like, ‘You did this to me last year.’ And I’m like, ‘I didn’t do it to you last year. It was proven, like all of your false allegations, were wrong.’ So it started a whole other thing,” she explained. 

    She then targeted Whitney, saying that while there are a “few” cast members whose lifestyles are far from hers, Whitney’s was the farthest.

    As for Angie, after being asked about the potential dirt she dug up about another cast member, Lisa signaled recent tweets. 

    “I’m gonna save that one, but you can go on Twitter right now, and she has lots of conversations with a guy named Pagey, and he’s sharing their DMs right now. He inspired her Greek citizenship and a few other things. She has a lot to say about me and Bronwyn, too,” Lisa alleged.

    Then, when someone wanted to know why she forgave Whitney so much quicker than Angie, Lisa said she felt Angie had “a consummate issue” with her.

    “It doesn’t go away. It’s exhausting … I don’t even like to talk badly about her because we were such good friends that it feels icky. I’d rather just not say anything,” she reasoned.

    In addition to Heather’s accusations, Tuesday’s RHOSLC also showed the cast enjoying time on a yacht with Captain Jason Chambers, 52, whom Lisa was thoroughly impressed with.

    “He works really hard,” she said of the Below Deck: Down Under star. “I didn’t expect him to work so hard. He was busy, breaking a sweat. He does a really good job.”

    Also regarding Below Deck, Lisa commented on Sandy not being excited to see her at BravoCon next month and slamming her behavior on RHOSLC as “not cool” during an interview with Decider.

    “Captain Sandy, I love her. We went to London and I thought she was amazing. She’s cool,” Lisa stated.

    Moving on to her four lawsuits, Lisa revealed they were dismissed while explaining the issue with her clarity lunch.

    “They’re civil lawsuits. They’re not criminal. I’ve never done anything criminal. Everyone online that keeps saying I’m going to jail is wrong,” she stated. “I cleared up a lot at the clarity lunch. It’s the commitment to listening and asking the same question over and over again that was the problem.”

    Also on the live broadcast, after confirming Meredith Marks, 53, had her back on Tuesday’s episode and noting that they “are good,” Lisa was asked about labeling Bronwyn “Con-wyn” before a troll account did the same.

    “I think I called her Fraudwyn,” Lisa clarified. “In our heated exchange. I said to her, she was calling me out and saying I’m not trustworthy, and I’m like, ‘You’re not trustworthy. You lied about going to Berkley, you lied about working for Goldman Sachs. You lied about the necklace. You lie about everything.’”

    Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Lisa reacted to Todd saying he wouldn’t piss on her if her brain was on fire.

    “That’s so gross,” she stated. “I wouldn’t want him to piss on me. I wouldn’t need him to. I could figure out how to … I would stop, drop, and roll.”

    Then, after teasing the next episode, saying, “You’ll hear what I know Todd is really good at,” Lisa was met with host Andy Cohen, 57, agreeing that the upcoming reveal was “so crazy.”

    “It just comes out of nowhere. And I will say this about Bronwyn, she’s like … She has an ability, much like [Stacey Rusch] on [The Real Housewives of Potomac], to really let it roll. It’s kind of wild,” he acknowledged.

    The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season six airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • RHOSLC Recap: Bronwyn Faces Identity Theft & Fraud Allegations, Britani’s Daughter Calls Her Out, & Heather Labels Lisa a “Risky Friend,” Plus Lisa & John Discuss Marriage Issues

    [ad_1]

    On this episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Angie makes amends with Mary, and Britani meets with her estranged daughter. But not even a super yacht girls’ trip can kick a Lisa/Angie reconciliation into gear. Until Lisa starts taking accountability, she’s going to continue being a “risky friend.” And when Bronwyn‘s past resurfaces, it leaves her wondering if Lisa is the one perpetuating the rumors…

    Heather checks in on Angie after the big fight. Angie seems most distraught over the way things ended with Mary, and so she has already set up a meeting with her to try and repair their friendship.

    Angie admits that her behavior was not great, and she feels guilty about the way it all happened at the party. However, she claims she did it to protect everyone from Lisa’s recurring takedowns. Heather appreciates that Angie is taking accountability for going low, but she knows that Lisa will not be as quick to apologize.

    The fractured friendships make things tricky for the upcoming super yacht girls’ trip. After speaking with Captain Jason (love a good crossover), Heather is hopeful that everyone can just have fun despite the recent drama.

    Bronwyn has very clearly bribed Todd with ice cream so he can film with her. He doesn’t even feign interest as Bronwyn reports the fighting within the group. Todd gives Bronwyn absolutely nothing, right up to eating her only cherry on her ice cream sundae.  

    Bronwyn looks for applause from Todd when she mentions she was not in any of the chaos, but all he does is congratulate her for behaving among the clowns. Bronwyn wonders if she was too quick to “neutralize” with Lisa, as she has already accepted Lisa’s apology.

    She then goes on to talk about the psychic who spoke about her mother. Todd brushes the reading off, and Bronwyn gets upset because he sh*ts all over anything she finds remotely interesting. Bronwyn understands that Todd is less emotional than she is, but she wishes he would truly notice her feelings. 

    Lisa begins to pack for the upcoming yacht trip to Canouan, despite not knowing where she is going geographically. Although she throws shade about it being only a three-day trip, she is excited. In her eyes, the guest list is questionable, but a trip is a trip.

    Lisa lets John know the psychic picked up on the communication problems in their marriage. They both agree that this is an issue they deal with. Lisa feels like the blurred lines between business, family, and marriage make her feel taken for granted and like they are on different pages. John claims that Lisa does not want to hear what he has to say, and he sarcastically states that everything Lisa does is perfect — he is clearly the issue. This is a repeated theme throughout the episode.

    Angie tries to extend an olive branch to Mary by buttering her up because she knows she is in hot water. Angie apologizes and states that she only responded to Lisa because she felt bullied. Mary points out that Angie got too angry and caught up in the drama. When Angie lashed out at Mary, it left Mary wondering if they were really the sister-friends they claimed to be. When Angie states she is still her sister, Mary retorts, “No, you’re not. Find another one, k?”

    Mary believes that Angie has been different lately. She then goes on a ridiculous rant about farts.  Apparently, Angie made fun of Mary for farting, and Mary is angry. Mary claims Angie should know the difference between a smelly dog fart and her fart. Angie does her best to keep a straight face as Mary goes on and on about a fart. 

    Mary reminds Angie that she said she had gas, NOT that she farted. Mary feels a level of disrespect with Angie, and it hurts because she does not let many people into her life. Mary threatens to “unmemorize” Angie’s existence, but Angie reminds Mary that she is her person. Angie promises that she will work on herself. They hug and make up. Luckily, no farting occurs.

    Heather shops with Lisa for the upcoming trip. When Lisa learns she can’t bring her glam, she nearly melts down. Lord knows she won’t be using Angie for hair help. Lisa starts right up with the shade about Angie: The yacht “will be nice for Angie cuz she’s never been on a luxury trip like that.” Yet Lisa claims to be the one sick of Angie’s attacks. She refers to Angie as a “mean b*tch,” but she continues to bash Angie as the nasty one who started it all when she brought up her kid’s brand.

    Heather reminds Lisa that Angie is probably sick of HER digs, like the infamous soup man. This gets cleared up when Lisa states she said Angie should talk to her SUIT man (the one who allegedly pays for her things), which makes much more sense, but alas, according to Heather, there is still NO man, whether he is involved in soup or suits.  

    Lisa, waving a huge wad of cash around, wonders if she should even go on the boat trip. When Heather points out that Lisa acts just as low as Angie, Lisa gets upset. Heather is simply trying to hold a mirror up to Lisa and show her that she says mean things, too. But it’s back to what John said: Lisa is perfect (sarcasm)… and until she realizes that she, too, can be better, things will never change. Heather thinks they all feel bullied by Lisa’s antics and calls Lisa a “risky friend.”  

    After the psychic reading, Britani realizes that she has to make things right with her daughter. They have an awkward meet-up (at least this time, Britani is not making out with Jared the whole time — imagine the horror as her daughter witnessed this!!), and Britani admits that she failed as a mom.

    Her daughter wants Britani to take accountability and realize that she wanted/needed her mom. Britani’s priority of dating men over getting to know her kid has greatly affected her daughter, but Britani is not sure how to fix it.

    Meredith is (gasp) DRIVING and meets up with Heather to discuss the Lisa of it all. Heather talks about wanting to defend Lisa, but she also sees Lisa’s repeated take-down pattern. Lisa digs up dark skeletons, and Heather wonders why Meredith let her off the hook so easily.

    Meredith claims that she does not have a great track record with Angie, and so if Lisa said she never tried to dig up dirt, then that is what Meredith is choosing to believe. Heather realizes that Lisa has done this pattern to most of the women in the group and makes it clear that no friend should be using people’s skeletons against them. This is not something they should overlook, and Heather wishes that Lisa would just say she is sorry for once.

    Whitney finally makes her debut in this episode. She hosts Mary and Angie, and they talk preference sheets for the yacht trip. So long as Mary has 2003 Dom on the boat, she is good. They discuss coffee vs. tea and then proceed to spill the tea about Bronwyn’s recent allegations in the headlines. Yet another friend falls victim to the Utah crime circle…

    Bronwyn is facing allegations of identity theft and grand theft. She turns to Todd for support as they discuss the “ridiculous” headlines. Bronwyn shares that some mistakes she made in college, and the other stuff happened almost 10 years ago. This case was dismissed and later sealed, so she can’t talk about her involvement in that. Boring.

    Bronwyn realizes that her name next to any of those words reflects poorly on Todd. Todd thinks that Bronwyn should think twice about going on this yacht trip with Lisa, as there is a “heavy possibility” Lisa started these rumors… or at the very least, perpetuated these rumors. 

    Todd warns Bronwyn that Lisa is not going to change, and Bronwyn should not “get down in the gutter and muck around with slime.” IF Bronwyn does go, he does not want to hear Bronwyn complain about a fight. This choice is all on Bronwyn, a very dad-like thing to say…

  • RHOSLC Recap: Lisa Accuses Angie of Using Someone Else’s Credit Card for Trip and Mentions ‘Mystery Soup Man,’ as Angie Flashes Her Black Card in Heated Spat, Plus Meredith Confronts Lisa and Whitney Exposes Jared’s Convo About Britani

    [ad_1]

    Only The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City can have an entire episode centered around a luncheon that goes terribly sideways.  Whitney‘s hope of getting the girls together to celebrate “love, laughter, and wine” is a pipe dream.  Despite bringing in an intuitive consultant (aka a psychic) to mix things up,  Lisa and Angie start fighting and there is no chance of stopping them.  And just WHO is the soup man?!

    It’s so cute how Whitney thinks that sending out bouquet invites may actually help the group “hill” (heal).  Bronwyn  and Meredith took the garden party theme quite literally, while the rest of the girls don pastels…well all except Angie who missed the memo completely in her leopard.  Mary worries about the bad juju at the event space and explains that the former owner killed his wife and himself…so there’s that.

    Lisa is there to support Whitney and shows up despite the recent nastiness with Angie.  Meredith has not seen Lisa since Angie divulged that she was directed by Lisa to dig into Meredith’s familial past.  

    Things are off to a great start when Whitney makes her welcome speech, promising that her carefree spirit is coming back stronger than ever, despite her recent business failure.  Whitney is ready to be herself again.  She explains that she brought in a special guest from New York: a spiritual intuitive and Mary clams up, calling him a “soothsayer.”  Needless to say, that’s a hard no from Mary.

    Before the readings, the ladies sit down to taste some Utah wines.  Angie shares that her house has been for sale and Britani looks up the listing right on the spot.  Britani points out that there was a price adjustment (“that’s not good”) and shares her dismay that Angie did not have her list the house, as she is a realtor (who knew?!). 

    Angie defends Britani’s remarks that the house is priced too high as she lives in the most prestigious zip code and Angie calls Britani clueless.  

    The bickering gets interrupted when Jared calls, and we learn that it’s been a mere 24 hours since Britani “took a break” from him, as per Whitney’s advice.  It’s almost laughable, especially when Whitney shares Jared had a chat with Justin about how much he supports Britani, insinuating that Britani only gets back with him when she wants a vacation.  Who is the gold digger now?

    Britani is aghast to hear this and she is hurt that he painted her in this light.  She is in absolute denial.  Luckily, she gets called to see the psychic first.  The reading shows Britani’s wall of communication against her daughters, which is no surprise, but she is shocked at how on point this consultant is.

    While she is getting read, Meredith is trying to read Lisa. She confronts Lisa with the concerns she has and asks if she has been spreading negative rumors about her family. Without hesitation, Lisa denies this and knows right away that Angie is behind this accusation.

    Lisa calls Angie Satan, but Angie claps back saying she doesn’t do her work in the dark.  Lisa claims she was always very careful not to say anything negative about Meredith and calls Angie a bully. 

    Lisa states that Angie talks sh*tty about her kids and Meredith jumps in to remind the ladies that they need to stop going low. Heather can’t understand how Meredith let Lisa off the hook so easily after her denial.

    Angie goes on to say that she did think Lisa cared about her, until she started saying terrible things about her like having to borrow money to take vacations. Angie throws out her black AmEx’s (plural) and she certainly is flexing. When Lisa keeps yelling back, Angie tells her, “I’m gonna come over there and pull your ears further back” than her facelift did.  She goes on to tell Lisa, “you look like you’ve been in a wind tunnel.”

    Lisa calls Angie shortie (all while Britani puts Angie’s credit cards down her dress) and Angie tells Lisa she needs a therapist.  It’s pretty clear this fighting will never end.

    When Bronwyn returns after her reading, she is visibly upset.  Meredith asks for a cease fire so they can hear what upset Bronwyn.  Bronwyn explains her parents’ health issues and begs the group to stop being so petty.

    Even after hearing this, Angie and Lisa won’t quit.  Whitney pulls Angie from the table and Lisa yells after Angie about a “soup man.”  Who IS this soup man Lisa speaks of?! Thank GOODNESS the sommelier offers them some more wine because that is EXACTLY what they need right now….

    Whitney attempts to be the voice of reason and show Lisa and Angie that accusations are not necessarily true and in order to move on, they have to STOP. Lisa claims that Angie is everything Angie accuses her of. 

    Lisa gets pulled for her reading and the fighting stops for a minute.  She gets asked why she feels like she is rebuilding trust within her marriage and she needs to figure out how to communicate better with her husband. Lisa doesn’t know how to find her way back to John. They need to get on the same team so she no longer feels lost.  

    Lisa admits that she feels alone sometimes in her marriage, but you better believe she keeps her reading very surface when the group asks. She paraphrases (or lies) about what was said and states that NOW she will stop with Angie.  But not before she reminds Angie that she started it all and states that she could go so low that they would never come back.  She storms off and yells that Angie should learn to apologize.

    After Angie’s reading about her new business venture, she interrupts Meredith’s turn to grad her Tupperware box of goods.  In this box are all of the gifts Lisa ever gave her.  Angie suggests that Britani give the gifts back to Jared as it might be good for her relationship, too.  

    Lisa has had enough and leaves during Whitney’s reading.  Little does she know that Whitney was breaking down about resenting her husband and communication issues within her marriage. Hilarious that Lisa walks in just as the psychic tries to warn Whitney to avoid those who are snake-like.

    Bronwyn just wants the ladies to apologize and end it, considering they have both said some crazy things.  Even though Lisa left, Angie is still spiraling, crying that she will not have her reputation questioned.  She reminds the remaining ladies that they have all gone back to Lisa, which causes Mary to turn, claiming she is done with Angie.  Mary was simply trying to make peace and will not be questioned about Lisa.

     Angie tearfully states that she loves the group, even Britani… a little bit. Bronwyn knows that Lisa goes low, but that does not mean that Angie has to engage. Angie refuses to be afraid of Lisa, but the mood changes when Britani calls Jared.

    Bronwyn literally ends the conversation for Britani, telling Jared that Britani has given him up for lent.  But I just have one question: did anyone check to see if Britani gave Angie her AmEx back?

  • RHOSLC Recap: Lisa Calls Whitney a Liar After She Accuses Her of Spreading Business Rumor, Mary and Heather Butt Heads and Angie Confronts Heather, Plus Britani Cries After She’s Caught in a Love Triangle

    RHOSLC Recap: Lisa Calls Whitney a Liar After She Accuses Her of Spreading Business Rumor, Mary and Heather Butt Heads and Angie Confronts Heather, Plus Britani Cries After She’s Caught in a Love Triangle

    [ad_1]

    Despite recent shake-ups within the friend group, Angie has decided to “make them an offer they can’t refuse.” She is inviting them all to her 25th wedding anniversary. As a nod to the accusation that Angie is part of the Greek mafia, the theme will be, of course, mob wives. Nothing screams love quite like a mob-themed party, amiright? But Angie’s attempt to bring them all together again on this episode of The Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City ends in disaster as Lisa unravels on Whitney…

    Lisa is shocked to be invited to Angie’s anniversary party, considering she hasn’t spoken to Angie since Milwaukee. Lisa is tired of Angie talking sh*t about her behind her back and calls their relationship a “mind f*ck.” Lisa is unsure if she will be attending the party, but she becomes sidetracked since she is able to FaceTime Jack on his mission in Colombia. Jack has done every test out there to try and figure out his health issues, but luckily, many bad things have already been ruled out.

    Whitney and Meredith meet despite Meredith’s reservations after being wrongfully attacked and accused. Whitney jumps right in to apologize for claiming Meredith was the one who dragged her jewelry line. Since Milwaukee, Whitney has realized that the person who is trying to hurt her is Lisa.

    Meredith doesn’t buy it, but Whitney is adamant. Ever since Whitney went on that podcast and talked about Lisa, she claims Lisa has been seeking revenge. Lisa is the one who planted the jewelry line, according to Whitney’s “verbal source,” but Meredith is not ready to rally behind Whitney based on her “evidence.”

    Mary has been having some issues with Robert Jr. since his “wife” came into his life. He doesn’t listen to Mary the way he used to, but she is grateful that he is still living at home so she can keep an eye on him. Mary reminds Robert that she is having guests, so he should try not to reappear. LOL. 

    It turns out that “guests” is Bronwyn, who enters carrying the biggest orchid plant ever to exist. Bronwyn has felt a connection with Mary since day one based on their fashion and design sense (if you call it that). Bronwyn explains how Lisa is close friends with her daughter’s grandparents, but her daughter does not have a relationship with said grandparents. Mary shares that her son has never met his grandparents either. Mary goes on to share that she is not close to her mother, and she advises that you always have to be real with your kids, especially since she is having a hard time with Robert lately.

    Regarding Angie’s party, Bronwyn is “on the cusp of being done with the bullsh*t.”  She can’t get over how Heather repeated what Angie said about Lisa TO Lisa. Lisa is p*ssed about it, and rightly so — calling someone a bad mom is a low blow! Mary refers to Heather as two-faced because why would Heather do that? According to Mary, “Heather leads with lies.” Bronwyn explains that Angie should know that Lisa is mad at her, and she wonders if she should let Lisa know sooner rather than later…

    It is the day of Angie’s mafia anniversary party, and Whitney is not thrilled to be seeing Lisa. She plans to stay far away from her… Angie’s father and aunt are the first to arrive. As the guests trickle in, there are more furs than one can count, and yes, that includes Meredith’s boots with the fur. Speaking of Meredith, she was almost cut from the guest list if Shawn had his way. After the havoc she pulled last year, Shawn did not want to invite her, but Angie sees it as a fresh start. Now wait until Angie sees Meredith’s confessional where she shades the “family…”

    Meredith urges Whitney to talk to Lisa and “get that done.” Meredith does not like being in the middle of Whitney and Lisa’s issues, but it’s a little awkward to bring it up here and now. Speaking of awkward, Angie and Lisa are still in a weird spot. Despite it all, Angie is happy that Lisa showed up. When Britani arrives, she is with a date, and NO, it is NOT Jared Osmond despite what Mary believes. It’s Aaron, a guy who happens to be Heather’s friend. Heather overshares that she made out with Aaron a few years back, making things slightly uncomfortable for all involved.

    But not as uncomfortable as Mary calling Aaron, Jared… to his face… and then insisting so confidently to Meredith that Britani arrived with Jared. It’s a hilarious moment brought to you by Mary Cosby.

    Angie makes a speech about still standing 25 years later despite rumors and nastiness. It’s a sweet moment when Angie’s dad makes a toast, but things take a turn shortly after. Bronwyn seeks out Angie so she can be honest with her. Bronwyn asks Angie if she commented on Lisa’s parenting to Heather. Bronwyn explains that Heather starts little fires and then backs away. When Angie says she doesn’t appreciate Heather doing that, Bronwyn smirks like she is so proud to be delivering this news. Bronwyn believes everyone should pay for what they say.

    Britani steals herself away from making out with Aaron (not Jared) to talk to Lisa. Lisa explains that Britani needed to break up with Jared due to his manipulation. When Mary comes over, Lisa lets her know that she didn’t like that Mary went so hard on Heather the other day. But Mary doesn’t like that Heather is leaving trails of lies everywhere she stops. 

    Heather meanders over and drops the f-bomb on Mary upon hearing she has been called a liar. Mary warns Heather not to push her. Once Mary gets it all out, a group hug is suggested, but Mary would rather sit on a couch with 12-year-olds than make physical contact with Lisa and Heather.

    Angie finds Heather to get to the bottom of what Bronwyn told her. Heather feels like something is shifting in Angie, and she no longer has Lisa’s back. Heather claims to love and support Angie, but she is taking everything Angie is saying to Lisa. Angie storms over to Bronwyn, and Heather questions why Bronwyn would be getting involved in her relationship with Angie. Bronwyn doesn’t like that Heather thinks she is in charge and can “manage” everyone’s relationships. Heather lets Bronwyn know that she is out of line, and she wonders how Angie can trust Bronwyn’s feedback.

    Because this party isn’t messy enough, enter Jared Osmond. Mary’s head just about explodes when she sees the REAL Jared, and Britani looks like she just saw a ghost. Whitney admits that her husband, Justin, invited Jared an hour ago, and she claims Justin did not know what he was stirring up. LIES. And for a man invited an hour ago, Jared cleans up quite well.

    Lisa jazzes Britani up and off they go to confront him. Lisa begins with, “Hi, we’re shocked to see you,” and Britani immediately brings Jared out for a private convo. In the end, Jared says he came because he missed Britani, and the rest is unclear… however, I am happy to see that Aaron is unfazed by the circus.

    Speaking of the circus, Whitney pulls Lisa and confronts her about being the one who planted the story about Whitney’s jewelry line. Lisa denies this, and she demands to know who claimed Lisa is responsible because she is going to sue them. Lisa tells Whitney she needs to STFU about it. She proceeds to call her private security so they can “go the distance” to cyber investigate the situation since she is being accused of something she did not do. Lisa goes as far as demanding to have the L.A. and Salt Lake police involved, and she shows that she will call in real detectives, not “Whitney Drew.”

    Whitney feels like Lisa’s reaction proves her guilt. However, Lisa lets Whitney know she owes her an apology and that Lisa will be sending her a bill. Lisa storms around and runs to Justin, asking how he could be married to Whitney since she is a liar. Justin does not take this well and begins to yell at Lisa, which in turn makes Lisa’s husband step in, and now we’ve got a real fight on our hands. Why not end the party with one final brawl? To be continued…

    Season five of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is off to a strong start despite ratings being down. The first episode delivered the kooky Housewives drama fans love from the show and introduced some new faces. Now, Meredith Marks is opening up about what viewers can expect, where she stands with Mary Cosby and Whitney Rose, and much more.

    As fans know, the finale for season four of RHOSLC made waves, and even some nonfans tuned in after hearing about the dramatic conclusion. Naturally, this meant that season five had some massive shoes to fill, especially after it was revealed that Monica Garcia would be absent from the new installment. 

    Recently, Meredith sat down with US Weekly to talk about the show. They started by discussing how she feels about the new season. According to Meredith, “There’s always a little anxiety going in. Overall, I’m cautiously optimistic. I’m optimistic we’re going to have a great season, but for myself.”

    They then discussed the season four finale and whether the ladies still have the bond they had when fans last saw them. Meredith said, “I think we did come out feeling this bond and connection last year, and I think that we all went back in hoping to make that last, hoping to kind of further it.”

    She continued, “But with any relationship, there are bumps along the road, and in order to get that connection, some things have to be flushed out. So it’s not just smooth sailing.”

    Regarding what exactly she felt needed to be “flushed out,” Meredith said, “I felt like I had been very wrongfully under fire the previous year. I just wanted to find a level of peace with that.”

    She then said she felt that she was under fire from pretty much the full cast. 

    The interview then asked Meredith who from the cast struggled the most with the truth. 

    She responded, “I think probably Whitney. It may have been her truth, but I don’t think it’s actually the truth.”

    She added, “Whitney and I, I feel like butt heads every year. It’s just, we just don’t see life from the same standpoint, is what it boils down to.”

    Meredith then discussed where she stands with Lisa Barlow. Specifically, the interviewer asked if their reconciliation from last season carried over to this one. She said, “It does. I’m not going to say where we all end at the end, but Lisa and I are off to a great start this year, and you’ll see how it all unfolds.”

    However, when asked if they could rekindle their old friendship, she responded that neither of them wanted to go back in time because they had a new relationship. She compared it to being in a new marriage. 

    The conversation then shifted to Meredith’s fallout with Mary. She said, “I’m not really sure I understand that, myself. I’m not sure, really, what the problem was. Maybe I’ll understand when I watch it. Maybe I’ll understand in three years when I rewatch it. I don’t understand it.”

    She then talked about feeling that Mary has “used ” her. She explained, “Like I said, this all came out of left field. Did I sense some little things along the way? Yes, but nothing of real significance. There were also little things that we talked about on the phone or whatever, so I didn’t think there were any outstanding issues.”

    She continued, “And suddenly when she’s feeling comfortable with other women who she hadn’t had a comfort zone with anyone other than me for the last few years, all of a sudden it was like I got attacked. Well, that doesn’t feel very good. That feels like I was used for three years because why is it now all of a sudden that you’re comfortable? I don’t understand why you’re coming after me.”

    They then discussed Whitney and Mary’s newfound friendship. 

    According to Meredith, “I mean, I like to see everyone getting along. I’m not rooting against them. I genuinely want to see all of the women succeed. I genuinely want to see them all be happy. I think it’s great, I want everyone to be friends.”

    The topic of Mary and Heather Gay being back on track also came up. The interviewer asked Meredith if Mary’s past comments about Heather’s appearance caught her off guard.”

    She explained, “Any comment about another woman’s appearance always takes me by surprise. It’s just not [the right thing to do].”

    When asked if she thinks Heather looks good, she said, “I think Heather looks fabulous. She feels fabulous. At the end of it, that’s what matters. She looks pretty, and she feels great. She’s happy with herself, and that’s all you want.”

    The interviewer also asked Meredith about Bronwyn Newport and what she brings to the table. Meredith said, “Bronwyn brings a lot. She has a big, strong personality. She’s very opinionated and not shy about sharing her opinions, which obviously makes for good entertainment.”

    She continued, “All of the new women add a new dynamic to the group, which I think is fresh and welcoming, and I’ll have to see where it all ends.”

    She was then asked if she was skeptical of the new ladies because of what happened with Monica. She responded, “You know, I think that all of us are a little trepidacious now. I’ve always been cautious in my friendships. I’ve been burned many times, I think everyone has as a grown-up. So yeah, I think we’re a little more on guard, but still, you have to move forward, and you don’t want to sit and be stagnant over something that’s over. I think everyone was somewhat open but a bit more guarded.” 

    Finally, they discussed Andy Cohen saying he wants Monica back in the future. According to Meredith, “I mean, that’s not up to me in any capacity, and Andy has a lot more say in that than I do.”

    She then said, “I would imagine Monica would prefer to do another show. It would make more sense, but I don’t know.”

    Meredith also shared that she has not been in contact with Monica.

  • Monica Garcia Reveals Which RHOSLC Costars She Speaks to, Most “Frustrating” Part of Reunion

    Monica Garcia Reveals Which RHOSLC Costars She Speaks to, Most “Frustrating” Part of Reunion

    [ad_1]

    Monica Garcia is sharing her thoughts on being fired from the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast ahead of season five and looking back on the “frustrating” season four reunion.

    One week after it was confirmed that she would not be returning to the show for season five due to her involvement with a troll account against the cast on Instagram, Monica, 40, reflected on her “[captivating]” performance as she suggested she should be included in future episodes, revealed who she loves from the show, confirmed she speaks to Mary Cosby, 51, daily, and more.

    “I’m okay! The fan reaction is being seen and heard. You guys are fighting so hard. It’s making a huge difference. There has been an uproar in the series of events that have taken place. It’s not going unnoticed. I’m so grateful,” Monica said of her departure during a January 29 interview with Pride. “The fans were clearly captivated by the whole season and that’s all you can ask for.”

    While some have said Monica should’ve never been cast in the first place, let alone be invited back to the show, Monica feels that her return would lead to resolution among the group.

    “I think everyone should put on their big girl panties and deal with it,” she stated. “A lot of people, including myself, wanted resolution. Part three of the reunion was brutal and I was checked out. I know I let a lot of the fans down and I’m so sorry, but I was over it. I knew I was getting nowhere. We should have gone right into filming. Truly, that’s how I feel. We’re all there to do a job. Let’s do it and let’s resolve it and let’s move on. I don’t think anything was done that’s not fixable.”

    In fact, she still has love for many of her castmates.

    “I actually love [Meredith Marks]. I love Mary and I genuinely love [Whitney Rose]. They’re mad at me and that’s okay. Mary’s not! Mary is so sweet. We talk every day,” she shared.

    During the season four reunion, Monica showcased a “burn book.” However, when all was said and done, fans didn’t see much of its content. And after the third installment aired, Monica teased the potential publication of its content.

    “I feel like I could be the next New York Times bestseller. I think you can buy your way on that list… I’m just saying,” Monica noted, seemingly shading Heather Gay‘s bestselling Bad Mormon.

    “It was actually really frustrating,” Monica continued of the reunion taping. “That burn book did not get enough attention, but maybe I should be thanking them. Maybe I should just legit post it. There’s so much in there that makes sense and bridges gaps and stories. There’s a lot that adds to the whole situation that no one got to see. Everyone’s saying it was a fail, and it was, but there was a lot of stuff that didn’t make it on air and everybody needs to keep that in mind.

    Looking ahead to season five, Monica said that while she understands everyone is “replaceable,” she believes fans would like to see more of her story.

    “If housewives like NeNe Leakes and Porsha Williams [leave]… those shows continue on. Everyone’s replaceable and I know that. I’m sure they’ll be just fine, but I do think that there is such a void and open chapter for the fans. People want resolution,” she reasoned. “That’s what we love about these shows. There’s conflict and resolution and that’s a fact within a friend group. That happens in real life. Let’s conclude that.”

    As for if she’d appear on another reality show, Monica said she’d be down to join The Traitors.

    “I would LOVE to be a traitor! I think there is no more fitting show for me than Traitors. I’m totally open!” she confirmed. “I have gone back and forth [about whether I’d want to be a traitor or a faithful]! I feel like either way I’m getting voted off first roundtable. Everyone would think I’m a traitor! Same result is going to happen. Just give me the cloak… I just want the moment!”

    The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is currently on hiatus.

    During a recent interview, Meredith, 52, shared her thoughts on Monica, 40, confirming whether they spoke after the reunion. She also teased the controversial phone call Heather Gay, 49, received in Bermuda, reacted to swirling rumors regarding Angie Katsanevas, 50, and more.

    “It depends on if they believe me or Monica because she’s saying I did all these things,” Meredith noted during a December 30 interview with Us Weekly.

    According to Meredith, Monica and the cast made a lot of claims against her, but “no one can back [them] up.”

    “Show me how I sent these DMs because I didn’t. Go get your cyber investigator because it’s not me,” she insisted.

    Following the taping of the RHOSLC reunion, Meredith confirmed she’s kept her distance from Monica.

    “I’ve not spoken to Monica. [But] I have spoken to [Lisa Barlow],” she shared.

    Amid their cast trip to Bermuda, Heather received a phone call that seemed to be in reference to legal drama between her and Monica, who she accused of failing to pay for services at her spa.

    Speaking of the call, Meredith said the information Heather learned “absolutely” changed the dynamic among the cast.

    “[Heather] learns stuff on that call, and like I said, I had certain things that I already knew that made the lawsuit less surprising. There were a lot of elements that went into this call and I was shocked. It was not something I ever, ever in a million years would’ve expected,” Meredith teased.

    While in Bermuda, Meredith butted heads with Lisa, 49, who blamed her for spreading rumors about Angie. But reflecting on their dispute, Meredith noted that Lisa was “not doing it on her own.”

    “She’s told that, but the reality is, like I said at the lunch, the reason I asked Lisa if she was saying that I threatened Angie and all this stuff is because I’d heard murmurings of it, but I had given her the benefit of the doubt, and all I’m looking for from Lisa is that same benefit of the doubt right back. But I’m not expecting it,” Meredith explained, giving a nod to their somewhat strained relationship. “That’s what I’ve done. I’ve changed my expectations and I accept people for who they are. And if that’s who she is, I have to accept that and say, ‘How am I going to navigate my relationship with her moving forward given that this is a piece of who she is?’”

    After being asked if she trusts Lisa, Meredith admitted she doesn’t fully.

    “I don’t have the same level of trust that we had years ago. Yes, I have a certain level of trust with certain things, and other things not as much. It’s gonna take time,” she explained.

    After facing claims of spreading rumors throughout the season, Meredith admitted she was surprised to see that Monica told Lisa she was behind the Greek mafia rumor about Angie.

    “Shocked on so many levels because number one, as we all know, Monica and Lisa have not gotten along all year. Now all the sudden it’s like, you come at my family, and by the way, let me tell you all the stuff. It felt… not right,” she shared. “And the large majority of the information that Monica was talking about were rumors that she told me. And I had never heard until she told me so I was kind of like, ‘These aren’t things I told you. This is information you shared with me and I didn’t go and tell anyone else about it. I kept it to myself. I didn’t tell other people. I didn’t bring it up on camera. You’re the one that told me. You’re the one that brought it up on camera.’”

    While many cast issues were hashed out at the reunion, Meredith said she did leave the taping with some lingering questions.

    “There were a lot of issues that I feel like were a lot bigger than some of the things I needed to tackle, and there’s only so much time in the day, and so obviously if it was the biggest thing under the sun, I would’ve raised my hand, as I do,” she revealed. “But I would love a little bit of closure. I feel like Lisa and I definitely had some underlying conflict, some not so underlying, that I don’t feel we really touched on at all.”

    That said, Meredith does feel that she and Lisa have “some sort of resolution” between them.

    “I think we both understand in seeing things playback and everything else that there were other parties involved that exacerbated the situation, which I think has pretty much gone on with me and her every year,” she reasoned. “So I think she and I are mentally at a place of understanding, but it’s not something that we really talked about.”

    Regarding her British accent, Meredith jokes that it always comes out if she’s had more than one drink “and sometimes comes out other times too.”

    “If I’m around friends with an accent I start picking it up, and it’s not just a British one, it’s all of them,” she confessed.

    Also during the interview, Meredith offered an update on her marriage to Seth Marks.

    “Everything with Seth is great. We’re crazy busy right now, both of us, so it’s a little bit hard finding our time together right now. That’s my only complaint, is that I miss him,” she said.

    'RHOSLC' Meredith Marks Shares if She Believes Monica Stole Lisa's Ring, and Reacts to Lawsuit Between Heather & Monica, Plus Live Viewing Thread

    This season of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has been pretty entertaining for most viewers.

    In fact, many Bravo fans are saying it’s one of the network’s best shows. Of course, one of the pettiest pieces of drama has been between Monica Garcia and Lisa Barlow, with the latter having an expensive ring go missing. Now, Meredith is revealing what she thinks of the matter as well as Monica’s lawsuit with Heather Gay.

    Regarding the ring in question, Lisa seemingly misplaced her $60,000 ring in a recent episode after going into a public restroom. However, newcomer Monica was later seen wearing a ring on her finger that looked just like it. This led to fans, not the cast, thinking that Monica took it.

    Now, Meredith is giving her thoughts to US Weekly about the incident.

    Meredith said that she had “no reason to believe” Monica took the ring. She continued, “I mean, she did have a ring that looks very similar on her hand, but she said it was from Amazon. I have no reason to believe it. I wasn’t in the bathroom. I have no context for that whatsoever.”

    Meredith also discussed how none of the ladies of the show thought that Monica took the ring.

    “I don’t think any of the women actually ever said that. I think there was some rumor that got started online. I don’t think anyone believes that either.”

    Monica has also discussed the incident herself. She joked at BravoCon and said, “Rich people steal stuff too.”

    Monica also talked to TV Line and said, “It’s not like it was just me that was in that bathroom. I wasn’t even in there when she dropped it. I did not take it.”

    Meredith also discussed how she feels about Monica and Heather’s lawsuit. When asked if she was surprised by the legal issue, she said, “Yes and no.”

    She continued, “There’s some stuff that you will learn that I knew about prior to hearing [about the lawsuits] which made it a little less shocking. But it’s still surprising.”

    As fans will recall, the lawsuit involves Monica suing Heather’s Beauty Lab + Laser after receiving what the lawsuit calls, “defective, negligently given injections, which did not have the intended, promised result.” Monica’s countersuit comes after Heather’s company sued her for non-payment of services.

    According to the suit, Monica only paid the initial payment but neglected to fork over the rest.
