After every major season of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, there are rumors that someone has left. In reality, all of the OGs except for Jen Shah have been able to keep their snowflake. So when there was a flurry of rumors surrounding Meredith Marks‘ possible departure, we knew we had to get to the bottom of them. 

Was Meredith Marks suspended from RHOSLC?

The mother of three has been a fan favorite and staple on the franchise since 2020. However, the gossip train ran out of control. It was rumored that Mer was forced to take a step back after she allegedly had a verbal confrontation with a co-star. Luckily, fans of RHOSLC seem to be simmering down after The U.S. Sun reported that Meredith had not actually been suspended. Thankfully, the outlet confirmed that the rumors are false. An insider shared, “Meredith has not been suspended from the show. She is not pleased about the rumors and nastiness, pun intended.”

The source added, “She wouldn’t be surprised if the call was coming from inside the house. And Britani Bateman was leaking all of this herself to stay relevant. Meredith and Britani get into some pretty nasty altercations and have some blowout fights, but nothing that warrants a suspension.” There have been plenty of fights in the Bravosphere, but Meredith never seemed one to involve herself in a physical altercation. So, naturally, followers were skeptical of the entire thing. 

What did a RHOSLC source say about Britani Bateman and the Meredith Marks suspended rumors?

The source had a lot of insight into the rumors regarding Meredith and Britani. According to the insider, the root of some of the ladies’ fights stemmed from political differences, “while other topics they argued over were more personal and hit below the belt.” What could be more personal than politics during this political climate? Meredith already felt uneasy around Britani. During Season 5, the Mormon was caught recording the women fighting on the Sprinter van. This left Meredith enraged and led her down a rabbit hole, where she accused Britani of even bugging her hotel room.  

The rumors started after a Bravo fan account posted on Twitter saying, “ALLEGEDLY Meredith got suspended for flipping out on Britani after a huge fight.” Other accounts countered that Meredith chose to stop filming because her husband’s alleged mistress was being brought up on camera. But perhaps the most asinine rumor was that Britani lost a toe during all of the kerfuffle. As a long-time fan, I long for the days when viewers didn’t know what happened during filming until the season actually aired. Fans need to demand media literacy and fact-checking to make a comeback, or I fear that social media accounts might start to be the frontline of “truth” when they have no actual evidence.   

RHOSLC Season 6 is filming right now, with both Meredith Marks and Britani Bateman

Currently, Season 6 of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is filming, and both Britani and Meredith have been seen in front of the cameras. To be honest, it would be hard not to have Meredith at the helm since she is one of the stars who always brings the drama. The series would get a bit boring if she were asked to take a step back. Britani has also brought the drama during her series premiere. She refused to read a room, stop singing, or admit her relationship with Jared Osmond was all for show. It wasn’t a surprise to see her given a second chance. 

There is most likely trouble in paradise, however, as Bronwyn Newport showed up late to the cast trip. This was most likely due to the drama surrounding claims of identity theft and grand theft, which began in March. An insider told OK! Magazine “The cast is taping their trip in the Caribbean. Bronwyn Newport showed up late to the cast trip due to all of the heat she’s been receiving around her alleged identity theft.” As for Meredith, she has kept quiet and continued to post as if nothing had happened.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

TELL US – WHO DO YOU THINK MADE UP THESE RUMORS ABOUT MEREDITH WALKING OFF?

The post Meredith Marks Suspended From RHOSLC Rumors Explained appeared first on Reality Tea.

Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City was a roller coaster for Meredith Marks. She had Angie Katsanevas thrown out of her bat mitzvah for insulting Britani Bateman. Plus, Meredith had a rocky season with her former friend, Mary Cosby. However, now there are rumors that Meredith has been suspended while filming Season 6 of RHOSLC.

RHOSLC rumors suggested Meredith Marks was suspended

Rumors were spreading that Meredith allegedly had an explosive fight with Britani, leading to her suspension. Meredith supposedly stopped filming mid-season because of comments that she reportedly made about her RHOSLC co-star. However, the rumors are false.

A source told The U.S. Sun, “Meredith has not been suspended from the show. She is not pleased about the rumors and nastiness, pun intended.” 

The insider continued, “She wouldn’t be surprised if the call was coming from inside the house, and Brittani was leaking all of this herself to stay relevant. Meredith and Brittani get into some pretty nasty altercations and have some blowout fights, but nothing that warrants a suspension.” According to the source, the discord stemmed from both personal issues, which “hit below the belt,” and political disagreements.

So, how did this rumor get wings? A Bravo fan account posted, “ALLEGEDLY Meredith got suspended for flipping out on Britani after a huge fight.” Well, Meredith wasn’t Britani’s number one fan last season. After Britani was caught recording the ladies arguing while onboard a Sprinter, Meredith felt uneasy. She questioned whether Britani had bugged her room. Naturally, she called in a private investigator, Heather Gay, to sweep her room.

Then, Meredith had a meltdown during the Season 5 reunion over who spread a rumor about Angie’s husband, Shawn Trujillo. She threatened to walk out and ordered host Andy Cohen to show footage proving that she didn’t tell Monica Garcia the rumor.

Still, Meredith and her bubble baths bring a certain vibe to the series, so I’m glad that she is returning.

TELL US – DID YOU BELIEVE THAT MEREDITH WAS SUSPENDED? ARE YOU GLAD THAT SHE IS REPORTEDLY FILMING SEASON 6 OF RHOSLC?

These days, everyone wants to be a DJ. You make one good playlist and all of a sudden, you’re a professional. The latest to join the trend is Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Meredith Marks. She just got booked to perform at WeHo Pride’s Outloud Music Festival, and you’re going to gag over some of the A-list performers headlining this thing.

RHOSLC’s Meredith Marks is a DJ now

WeHo Pride announced the lineup for their annual music festival last week. The headliners for this year include Grammy winners Lil Nas X, Lizzo, and Kim Petras. That’s a decent lineup, and it all goes down in Los Angeles on May 31 and June 1.

As you look further down the list, you’ll see a few emerging artists like Rose Gray and Flyana Boss. There’s also a handful of RuPaul’s Drag Race stars like Alyssa Edwards and Sasha Colby. Then, all of a sudden, there’s our girl Meredith, plopped right in the middle of the lineup.

DJing is just one more thing that Meredith can add to her always-expanding resume. When we first met her on RHOSLC, she talked about how she had a legal background but was not a practicing lawyer. She also has her own jewelry company, and most recently, she developed a caviar line.

In 2023, Meredith and her husband launched a podcast called Hanging By A Thread. However, there haven’t been any new uploads since February 2, 2024. Probably because she was learning how to DJ.

Of course, reality stars trying to DJ isn’t a new phenomenon. Paris Hilton has been doing it for years. She’s also on the WeHo Pride lineup, but the jury is still out on whether or not she’s ever actually touched a mixer. Plus, Meredith’s fellow Real Housewife Dorinda Medley is currently accepting bookings for DJ gigs. Maybe they can do back-to-back DJ sets at this year’s BravoCon.

TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED BY MEREDITH MARKS AND HER LATEST ENDEAVOR? ARE YOU PLANNING ON ATTENDING WEHO PRIDE OUTLOUD MUSIC FESTIVAL?

The ladies in the Real Housewives franchise love winning their respective arguments. But as their seasons air on Bravo, most of these cast members are seeing what their costars have said about them for the first time, and their battle cries immediately ring out at their proceeding reunions.

That said, receipts are not a new topic on Bravo. Within each season, text messages and voice notes air, lending way to the storylines within each series. These are our favorite examples of these receipts gone right, which likely lend to the nightmares their host, Andy Cohen, experiences at the end of each taping.

The Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2 Reunion

During the reunion for Season 1 of Real Housewives of Dubai, we saw Caroline Stanbury pulling out her homemade Book of Lies. It fell flat.

In Season 2, Lesa Milan better showed us how to play this game, but first, a tired Andy asked her if her receipt would land. She insisted it would and then pulled out three journals she purchased from Stanbury. Lesa explained that they looked familiar, and then she pulled out another journal, matching the ones Stanbury sells.

But, as Stanbury explained, she never claimed to have written anything.

Taleen Marie, however, still had a receipt for Caroline Brooks. Brooks denied she wore her clothing in Season 1, so Taleen brought the blown-up text messages to prove her case.

One reunion, two receipts. We love(d) it here.

The Real Housewives of Miami Season 3 Reunion

The earlier days of Real Housewives of Miami feel like a fever dream. But when Lea Black brought us a solid round of receipts at the Season 3 reunion, whew.

Mama Elsa was sick in the hospital, and as Marysol Patton claimed, Lea never came to see her. At the reunion, Marysol pulled out her iPad and a speaker to play a message from her father, who was dissing Lea.

But Lea had a printout from her cell phone company showing she had reached out. She also proved that she called the hospital, which stressed that Mama Elsa did not want visitors. This cast understood the assignment from early on. No notes.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 4 Reunion

Never mince words when dealing with Meredith Marks. As seen in the reunion for Season 5 of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Andy knows how to speak in her dialect. And Meredith uses semantics to her advantage.

Meredith was never gunning for her costar’s marriage. Instead, she wanted to talk about a husband, not his dealing with his wife, Angie Katsanevas. But as she read from her printed-out texts, her cast called out the semantics mess.

Then, Mary Cosby claimed she never tweeted mean things about Whitney Rose. But production had receipts that stated otherwise.

Oh. Monica Garcia, the lady behind the infamous reason Heather Gay once yelled, “RECEIPTS! PROOF! TIMELINES! SCREENSHOTS!” brought a burn book.

Her cast hated it.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 5 Reunion

Receipts were seen again in the Season 5 reunion of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Here, Kim Richards threatened to mention a husband, and this costar reacted via threatening texts.

Lisa Rinna had no choice but to own her messy words as her rage texts got read aloud at the reunion. Then, Lisa apologized in real time. Her cast felt her apology was genuine, but Kim remained unsure. Cue her giving Lisa back her gifted bunny at the reunion two years later, proving that Kim is not afraid of receipts or holding a grudge on her former series, RHOBH.

The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 9 Reunion

The reunion for Season 9 of Real Housewives of Potomac just aired. And, of course, receipts were present here as well.

Stacey Rusch accused Mia Thornton of inviting her to her birthday party in Miami. But when she arrived, Mia was MIA. Here comes Stacey with printed text message receipts, which made Mia cry. Then, Mia stormed off as her costars noted that her crying when called out antics were growing tiresome.

Overall, Mia had a rough reunion. You can only explain away so many things before side eyes emerge. Thankfully, Mia owned her wrongs and Andy asked her to give herself some grace.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Reunion

Long live the reunion for Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10. Shannon Beador had solid detective skills this season, which she used to sort out an awful lie based on cancer.

Vicki Gunvalson loved Brooks Ayers, who had cancer. Except, did he? As this cast tried to discern this answer, Vicki provided receipts during the season. But, one of her receipts was from an imaging company Shannon had used. And as Shannon proved at the reunion, the scans and paperwork used to show that this cancer storyline was factual were duds.

So long, grossly filled love tanks.

The Real Housewives of New York Season 12 Reunion

By the time Season 12 rolled around, the OG cast of Real Housewives of New York were pros at calling out BS. Yet, their friendships remained messy, which, hey.

Ramona Singer and Dorinda Medley were not getting along. So, Dorinda called Ramona out on her one-sided friendship showings. Ramona hated this. So, she threw a pile of papers out that contained her printed text messages with Dorinda, telling her cast to read their texts.

Shouting and crying ensued as Andy tried to temper their emotions. But Ramona still cried, expressing how much she loved Dorinda and how sad she was that Dorinda kept pointing her finger.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 12 Reunion

In Season 2 of Real Housewives of New Jersey, alum Danielle Staub showed up with a mannequin head. She wanted to prove her receipt live, showing how hard someone had to pull to make an extension fall out.

Skip to Season 12, and we have another reunion receipt, just delivered by Jennifer Aydin. She and Melissa Gorga were not (and remain not) tight, as both find each other inauthentic on RHONJ. At the reunion, Melissa claimed Jennifer started their feud by calling her crooked. This statement saw Jennifer reaching behind the couch to pull out her receipt, a blown-up Instagram post that showed Melissa hit her first online.

Like always, Melissa laughed her off, unfazed.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 15 Reunion

During the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 15 reunion, we got two receipts for the price of one.

First, Shereé Whitfield, AKA the bone collector, arrived with a homemade newspaper aptly titled SHE News. Her rag poked fun at a restaurant owned by Kandi Burruss, who earlier shaded her athleisure line on YouTube.

Andy claimed this was the shadiest receipt ever shown.

Then, Shereé produced text messages given to her from an anonymous source. These messages were supposed to prove that Drew Sidora and Ty Young were engaged in a tryst, but Drew still said NOPE.

Sadly (for her ex), Drew is now getting a divorce.

TELL US – WHICH REUNION RECEIPT IS YOUR ALL-TIME FAVORITE ON BRAVO?

The post Best Receipts Brought to a Bravo Reunion appeared first on Reality Tea.

I must admit that I questioned whether it would be possible for The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City to top Season 4. Heather Gay delivered that epic monologue and outed Monica Garcia as being involved in the social media site, Reality Von Tease. It was reality TV perfection.

However, Season 5 reached the same high standard. Somehow, all the housewives had a hand in stirring the pot. Every event was a spectacle, serving up drama, and arguments, along with a dash of humor.

The drama shifted into high gear from the jump at Lisa Barlow’s Besos Galentine’s party, which turned into a pile-on against Whitney Rose. Plus, we met a new housewife, Lisa’s fashion-focused friend Bronwyn Newport. Bronwyn fit in perfectly with the rest of the Salt Lake City cast.

Of course, the Reality Tea team embraces all of our heroes, villains, and all the flavors in between. So, let’s take a look at the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 winners and losers.

Lisa Barlow – Winner

What can we say about Baby Gorgeous? At her Besos party, Lisa was offended that Whitney called Lisa “a villain” during a podcast interview. And all hell broke loose.

Unfortunately for Bronwyn, she butted heads repeatedly with Lisa. Bronwyn was offended when she was put in a separate villa from Lisa during the trip to Puerto Villarta. And Lisa was furious that Bronwyn purchased her a ticket in coach with the other couples after the Palm Springs trip. Lisa does not fly coach.  

During the reunion, Lisa blindsided Bronwyn and shared that she had text messages from her friend who worked with Bronwyn’s jeweler. While Bronwyn originally claimed that her husband, Todd Bradley, bought her a diamond necklace worth $4 million, she stated at the reunion that she purchased hoop earrings and a smaller necklace instead. According to Lisa’s source, Bronwyn never bought anything.

During the Season 5 finale, Lisa had a blow-out fight with Angie Katsanevas. When Whitney shared a rumor that she heard about Lisa and her husband, John Barlow, having a threesome, Lisa was furious. When Angie didn’t defend her, Lisa mentioned that she heard that Angie’s husband, Shawn Trujillo, participated in “circle jerks.” While Lisa would never admit it, her friendship with Angie was already rocky because of Angie’s friendship with Whitney. I think that Lisa has entered her villain era, and I love it!  

Whitney Rose – Loser

I love Whitney, but this season she seemed off her game. She mostly sparred with Lisa about rumors that Baby Gorgeous allegedly spread about PRISM, Whitney’s jewelry line. There were whispers that Whitney was obtaining her jewelry designs from Alibaba. According to Whitney, she had a source – a podcaster who allegedly confirmed that Lisa was leaking the details.

Of course, Whitney felt that Lisa did this to hurt her brand and reputation. So, when Whitney accused Lisa of giving the rumor to a gossip blogger, Lisa called Whitney “a liar.” This argument caused Lisa’s hubby John, and Whitney’s husband, Justin Rose, to become involved in the altercation. It was ugly.

Plus, Lisa left a necklace that Whitney gifted her in her hotel room in Milwaukee, further proving to Whitney what Lisa thought of her brand. However, when Whitney revealed that she asked Monica for information, the rest of the cast lost their minds. While Whitney admitted that she only turned to Monica because she was forced into a corner by Lisa and Meredith Marks, it was still a low point for Whitney.

Mary Cosby – Winner

Mary Cosby finally exited the Sprinter van and took part in the season! Mary zip-lined, ate at restaurants with the group, and even hosted a Breakfast at Tiffany’s party at her home. We may never forget Meredith’s Audrey Hepburn-esque bangs. During the reunion, Mary quipped that Meredith’s bangs were “a little bit of a type of suffering.”

However, what moved viewers was Mary’s honest on-camera conversation with her son, Robert Cosby, Jr. He admitted that he was using drugs and that he needed help. Mary was strong yet emotional as she spoke with him. She told him that she didn’t judge him and that he was the most important part of her life. It was such a raw, yet beautifully moving moment. Afterward, Mary brought Robert Jr. to rehab.

Finally, a vulnerable Mary confided in her friend, Angie, and explained how she felt that she failed her son. Their conversation, and how Angie supported Mary, also resonated with RHOSLC viewers.

Meredith Marks – Loser

Meredith had quite a season. She celebrated her bat mitzvah, which was beautiful. Unfortunately, Angie argued with friend of the cast Britani Bateman, and slammed her “high body count hair.” So, Meredith had security escort Angie out of the celebration.

During the season, Meredith had a meltdown when she realized that Britani was recording the ladies arguing in a Sprinter van in Mexico. Of course, Britani tried to deny that she was taping anyone. Instead, she claimed that she was trying to make a video. But that didn’t stop all the ladies from screaming.

However, after Britani claimed that she heard Meredith crying and vomiting during the night in Mexico, Meredith was suspicious. She asked Heather to help her check her room for bugs. I highly doubt that Britani would plant a bug in Meredith’s room. But here we are.

Meredith also had a falling out with Mary, who had been a dear friend. I’m not sure exactly where this friendship went left, but Meredith and her bangs were booted from Mary’s house.

I almost listed Meredith in the winning category until her behavior during the RHOSLC reunion. Meredith demanded that Andy Cohen have the control room playback tape from last season when Monica told Angie that Meredith started the rumor about Angie’s husband, Shawn, having sex with men. “Unless I hear that, and I’m being told it will play at the reunion, I am FINISHED,” Meredith told Andy. This tantrum was over the top and landed Meredith in the losing column.

Angie Katsanevas – Winner

Angie was activated this season. She stayed friendly with Whitney, which aggravated Lisa. In the end, Angie was tired of Lisa acting like the leader of the friend group, having to always be in control.

However, the tension between Angie and Lisa went into overdrive during the Season 5 finale. During the final night in Puerto Villarta, Whitney shared the rumor that she heard about Lisa and John having a threesome. An enraged Lisa denied it and went after Angie for not defending her.

So, Lisa brought back to life the rumor about Angie’s husband allegedly having male boyfriends, claiming that she heard that he participated in “circle jerks.” Angie jumped up and started throwing flowers at Lisa until security stopped her. It doesn’t seem likely that these former friends will rekindle their friendship.

Besides all the feuding, Angie also showed her moving and authentic friendship with Mary. They understand each other and connect in a refreshing and caring way. Season 5 was a winner for Angie, and she scored the seat next to Andy. What a step up from being a “bench-warming b*tch” last season.

Bronwyn Newport – Winner

Bronwyn was an exciting addition to the season. She shared her experience of becoming pregnant at 18 years old while a student at Brigham Young University. The baby’s father’s family reportedly wanted Bronwyn to give up her baby for adoption. She refused, and raised her daughter, Gwen, as a single mother. Sadly, Gwen’s birth father passed away. However, this tale has a bizarre connection to Lisa.

Apparently, Bronwyn showed Lisa a photo of Gwen’s father off-camera, and Lisa is friends with his parents. Bronwyn never revealed their names and was upset that Lisa gave out too many details about them on camera. Gwen has never met her grandparents, and they allegedly showed no interest in meeting her until Bronwyn and Lisa’s conversation.

Plus, Lisa and Bronwyn also sparred over Lisa Face-Timing with Heather during Bronwyn and Todd’s Palm Springs anniversary trip. After all, Bronwyn didn’t invite Heather and took it as an insult that Lisa reached out to her. The newbie also sparred with nearly every cast member. She has a blunt and brash style, which sometimes upset her husband, Todd.

Plus, Bronwyn’s passion for fashion gave Mary a run for her money. I also applaud Bronwyn’s habit of showing up at the airport to pick up Todd in costumes, like a hot dog, or a shark. Say what you will about Bronwyn, but this fan favorite deserves a second season as a snowflake-holder.

Heather Gay – Loser

Heather had a season-long feud with Bronwyn. Simply put, Heather didn’t trust her. Once she saw Bronwyn making fun of Whitney behind her back, but being nice to her face, Heather felt that Bronwyn was a hypocrite.

When it was time for Bronwyn and Todd’s couples’ trip, Bronwyn invited Heather over for a visit. As soon as Heather realized that she was there to grovel for a place on the trip, the visit went left. Heather refused to apologize and swiftly departed. Plus, Heather’s growing friendship with Lisa also caused her to question Bronwyn’s intentions.

During the final dinner in Puerto Vallarta, Heather suggested that each person find the worst text that they had written about someone at the table. Then they would have the person read it out loud, and “burn” it. While it seemed to work for some of the cast, Lisa and Meredith stormed out. Thanks for another fun game, Heather!

I feel like Heather wasn’t as present this season. During the Season 4 finale, she had that huge moment when she outed Monica. She seemed to hang back more this season and comment on the drama. I’m looking forward to Heather being more involved next season.

TELL US – DO YOU AGREE WITH OUR REAL HOUSEWIVES OF SALT LAKE CITY SEASON 5 WINNERS AND LOSERS?

The post Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Winners and Losers appeared first on Reality Tea.

Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City was rough for Meredith Marks. She was involved in petty squabbles with Whitney Rose over bath bombs. Plus, she did not get along with newbie friend of the housewives, Britani Bateman. After Britani was caught recording an argument among the ladies on her phone, Meredith drifted into the paranoid zone.

After all, Britani claimed that she heard Meredith crying and vomiting in her bedroom. So, Meredith asked Heather Gay to help sweep the rooms for bugs. Spoiler alert: No one bugged Meredith’s room.

Meredith Marks reportedly joined the Season 6 RHOSLC cast

Meredith celebrated her emotional bat mitzvah. Unfortunately, she had security remove guest Angie Katsanevas for allegedly slut-shaming Britani’s hair. And when Mary Cosby threw a gorgeous Breakfast at Tiffany’s brunch, all the ladies dressed as Audrey Hepburn’s character. Meredith’s bangs missed the mark, and after arguing with Angie, Mary ordered Meredith to leave. And that was the end of Mary and Meredith’s friendship.

Still, Meredith’s behavior at the Season 5 RHOSLC reunion was wild. Host Andy Cohen mentioned that Meredith’s husband, Seth Marks, was spending a great deal of time in Ohio for his job. After Andy asked if Seth had a “side chick,” Meredith was ticked.

However, during an argument over who spread a rumor about Angie’s husband, Shawn Trujillo, Meredith had a meltdown. She threatened to storm out and demanded that Andy show footage from last season. Meredith wanted to prove that she didn’t tell Monica Garcia that rumor. “I’m getting angry. The whole reason I came here was not for this. I am finished,” Meredith told Andy. She was certainly spicy during this reunion. Maybe Meredith was done engaging with these ladies.

Well, the podcast Bravo and Cocktails reported that Meredith is returning for Season 6 of RHOSLC. “It’s this holier than now vibe. Like when she stood up and was like, ‘I’m leaving,’ I’d leave. Nobody seemed ready, and nobody really wanted to stop her. She couldn’t stop herself. Angie was like, ‘Okay,’” hosts Amanda and B. revealed. “I was told production loves her, and I find this shocking, but she is back.” 

This report hasn’t been confirmed yet.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 has come to an end, and we’re already missing our messy snowflake holders. The last episode of the three-part reunion continued to deliver when it came to unpacking the drama. Of course, the ladies discussed the dramatic table text read during the finale and beyond. Meredith Marks, in particular, revealed some shocking news.

During Part 3 of RHOSLC’s reunion, Meredith revealed that she received a call from Jen Shah from prison. “It was very brief, she called me. Well, obviously I can’t call her,” Meredith said. Obviously, her co-stars had a lot to say.

Whitney Rose didn’t understand how that wasn’t just as bad, if not worse, than her reaching out to Monica Garcia. “I didn’t seek Jen out to dig dirt on my friends. Jen called me from prison after she’s taken accountability, served time and is paying restitution,” Meredith added. However, Whitney and other stars like Mary Cosby did not agree.

Mary Cosby isn’t down for Jen Shah’s redemption

When Whitney said that Jen traumatized the RHOSLC cast more than Monica, Mary chimed in to agree. “If Jen Shah called me, I would not accept her call. She tormented us,” Mary said.

Meredith asked what to do moving forward with Jen, and Mary thinks she needs to stay far away. “She lied,” Mary said. “She really mistreated your kids. And you.”

Meredith agreed but asked if there are no second chances in life. Mary believes there are – just not in Jen’s case. “Some people just go too far and she’s one of them. She lied all the way up to the day she couldn’t,” Mary said.

It doesn’t seem like anyone from this crew will be joining Meredith for Jen’s welcome home party after her prison sentence.

Welcome to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Reunion, Part 3 recap. Last week, Todd shed light on the “emotional affair” Bronwyn shared with the other women in Puerto Vallarta. Andy asked Meredith about the state of her and Seth’s marriage since he works in Ohio now. Mary updated us on how Robert Jr. was doing after rehab and how Angie’s friendship and support helped her. Keep reading to see exactly what happened on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Reunion, Part 3.

What happened on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Reunion, Part 3?

In this week’s episode, the reunion concludes with Britani joining the group to discuss her relationship with Jared Osmond and confront Bronwyn. Meredith accuses Britani of spreading misinformation about her night in Mexico. Lisa and Whitney struggle to find a path forward after the rumor Whitney shared in Mexico about Lisa’s marriage. Here are some highlights from the RHOSLC Season 5 Reunion, Part 3.

Britani opens up about Jared Osmond and their relationship

Before bringing Britani on stage, Andy advises everyone to “hide your wine bottles and make sure all recording devices are turned off.”

“What is the latest between you and Jared?” Andy asks her.

“We’ve been broken up since June,” Britani responds. As she’s speaking, there’s a banner across the bottom of the screen that says, “Editor’s Note: Since the reunion, they’ve gone Instagram official … again.”

Apparently, Jared is unable to stop himself from texting single girls, even though he promised Britani several times he would. Hence, the vicious breakup/love bomb/get back together cycle.

Andy reminds Britani that Bronwyn said she was “more in love with the Osmond name than with Jared.”

“It probably wasn’t super cool of me to insinuate that,” Bronwyn says, “But my feeling was he wouldn’t claim you publicly, he was treating you poorly, and he’s [just] categorically the worst.”

“He’s said horrific things about you on Twitter,” Bronwyn adds. “He’s come for everybody on this show.”

Following an earlier debate on whether Jared has a “micro penis,” Bronwyn concludes by reading a text Jared sent her. “This is the way the man you’re in love with talks to women.”

“What the f*cking hell is your f*cking problem?” Jared writes to Bronwyn. “Are you f*cking kidding me coming out on national television making fun of my anatomy? You little bitch … I guarantee I am twice the size of any man you’ve ever been with.” Just, ew. The Osmond family must be so proud.

Angie claims Britani’s “not a true Mormon” on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion

When Angie arrived at Britani’s house for Mormon Prayer Night with a bottle of wine, Britani wasn’t quite sure how to handle the situation. Honestly, how long has Angie lived in Salt Lake City? Can she really not know that Mormons aren’t supposed to drink?

A viewer wrote, “Heather, you said on the After Show it’s not Angie’s responsibility to keep up Britani’s façade of being the perfect Mormon.”

When Andy asks Heather to elaborate, she says, “Britani’s living a double life. She’s an active Mormon. To be an active Mormon and not get kicked out of the church, you can’t have sex [outside of marriage] and you can’t drink. And [she’s] doing both.”

But Britani argues, “That’s not true. It depends on the bishop.”

“That’s nonsense,” Bronwyn throws out. “I also grew up Mormon … I agree with Heather. If you want to look like you’re in good standing with the church … you should not be drinking and having pre-marital sex.”

Of course, Lisa comes out on Britani’s side. Lisa’s a “Mormon” who owns a tequila company. But Angie says she grew up with Mormons, and Britani’s “not a true Mormon.”

“I can live my religion any way I want,” Britani argues.

Andy continues, “Britani, you eventually came clean about sleeping with Jared. How did it feel to have the other women rally around you?”

“It felt really good,” she says, admitting that she cried when she saw it on TV. “I didn’t even realize how much trauma I had around the shame … I lied to everyone.”

Why was Britani recording the women in the sprinter van?

Turning to the Puerto Vallarta trip, Andy asks Britani, “If you were so concerned that Meredith was crying and throwing up, why didn’t you talk to her about it, instead of telling everyone in the group?”

“She did,” Meredith says. “I told her that it wasn’t true, and she proceeded to tell everyone that it was.”

“I’m sorry,” Britani says. “The sound of someone throwing up is indistinguishable.” That’s a very big word there, missy, and I don’t think you’re using it correctly.

“I literally woke up from a dead sleep,” Britani continues, “to sounds of someone throwing up.” She could have been violently coughing. Meredith admitted she had a coughing fit that night, and that could be indistinguishable from the sound of vomiting.

“Britani, you’re a liar,” Meredith tells her. “I am not going to let you spread lies about me. I’ve had enough … I don’t care to discuss it any further. You’re a liar.”

Moving on, Andy says, “Britani, you gave several different explanations as to why you were recording the women in the sprinter … Who here believes any of those excuses?”

After everyone has a different theory about why she would record them, Andy says, “The obvious reason that you all freaked out is because of what you have been through.”

“It was abusive, and I’m still recovering from that,” Britani says.

“Okay, well get over it, babe,” Mary throws in. “It happened and it’s done. Hopefully, you are, too.” Just what I was thinking!

Mary admits she doesn’t like Britani. “I just don’t think you’re honest,” she says. “And you don’t take accountability … Your emotional intelligence is not mature. You’re a little bit lop-sided for me, and I have enough going on in my life.”

Lisa and Whitney make one last attempt to “burn it” on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

Andy brings up Heather asking everyone to “read the meanest text in their phone” to move forward. That was a terrible idea. “What was your goal for the exercise?”

“We give these words power,” Heather says. “I just wanted to burn it.”

“Lisa, Whitney brought up a rumor,” Andy went on, “about you and John bringing a third party into your bedroom. Where do you go from here?”

“Are we gonna burn it or not?” Whitney asks, as Lisa again denies the rumor. She’s missing the point.

“Lisa, listen to me,” Whitney says. “I burned the most horrific thing … but it was cathartic … When we were able to look in each other’s eyes and burn it, it started filling in those trenches. You could not burn the fact that I’m sorry that I talked about your marriage. Why can’t you burn it?”

“Because you keep doing it,” both Meredith and Lisa say at the same time.

While everyone urges her to just let it go, Lisa argues, “I will do what I want to do … You guys have f*cked me over so many times, that it’s hard to be vulnerable … [But] when people f*ck with John, Jack, and Henry, you burn something that you can never get back … I show you grace all the time. I’m not fake.” That’s debatable.

Whitney goes and sits by Lisa to focus their conversation. “Saying you’re sorry means you’ll never do it again,” Lisa says. No, it doesn’t. People make the same mistakes over and over again.

Andy wants to move on, but Whitney says, “I just don’t think it’s fair that I take accountability, but she doesn’t have to.”

Finally, Lisa admits, “As f*cked up as our friendship is, I do love you.” Finally, it’s done.

Ending the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Reunion on a positive note

“The finale ended with everyone saying the worst thing they’ve texted about someone in the group,” Andy says. He wants them to end by saying something nice.

Starting with Mary, Andy says, “What’s something nice that you want to [say] about Heather?”

“Heather is powerful, smart, and she has a lot of love,” Mary responds.

Andy asks Lisa to say something about Whitney. She says, “When she’s committed to being a friend, she’s a great one.”

When Andy asks Meredith to say something about Angie, she says, “You’re a great mother … I haven’t seen it, but based on your relationship with Mary, I think you can be a good friend.”

Angie admits, “I actually secretly like [Meredith],” which makes everyone laugh.

Bronwyn says, “I’ve always said I wanted to be friends with [Heather]. You’re very intelligent and you keep me on my toes.”

Heather responds, “You understand that being a single mom is not easy … I think you’re a fabulous contribution to the group.”

Andy asks Whitney to “return the favor to Lisa Barlow.”

“When you show up as a friend,” Whitney says. “you can be a really good friend.”

Mary begs Andy to “do me,” rather than leave it to Meredith.

“You showed us your heart this year,” Andy says. “You showed us how open, understanding, and compassionate you are … You’re also funny as hell.”

“We should have played this game in Puerto Vallarta,” Meredith says.

Finally, Andy suggests a toast.

Meanwhile, backstage, Britani has a serious case of FOMO. “I want some nice stuff said about me, too!” she whispers. “It’s not fair!”

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is now streaming on Peacock.

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF SALT LAKE CITY SEASON 5 REUNION, PART 3?

The post Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Reunion, Part 3 Recap: Ending on a Positive Note appeared first on Reality Tea.

Welcome to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Reunion, Part 2 recap. Last week, a fan accused Heather of prioritizing her friendship with Lisa over her friendship with Angie. Bronwyn realized Lisa was not the friend she thought she was before coming on the show. It’s like pulling teeth, but she finally got an apology out of Lisa for talking about Gwen on the RHOSLC After Show. Finally, when the ladies were joined by the “huuuzbands,” John told Todd to “watch your tone.” Keep reading to see exactly what happened on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Reunion, Part 2.

What happened on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Reunion, Part 2?

In this week’s episode, Todd sheds light on the “emotional affair” Bronwyn shared with the other women in Puerto Vallarta. Andy asks Meredith about the state of her and Seth’s marriage since he works in Ohio now. Mary updates us on how Robert Jr. is doing after rehab and how Angie’s friendship and support helped her. Here are some highlights from the RHOSLC Season 5 Reunion, Part 2.

Todd addresses the “emotional affair” with another woman

Andy asks Todd how he felt when he saw Bronwyn share with the other women the story of his “emotional affair.”

“Well, I have to apologize, cause I haven’t seen it,” he says. Wait, what? Aren’t you contracted to watch the show so you can fight over everything everybody says?

“We talked about it,” Bronwyn explains. “It’s just hard to watch.”

“Anything that Bronwyn shared,” Todd adds, “would be more than I’d want her to share.”

“I wouldn’t even say it was an emotional affair,” Bronwyn says. “I felt there [were] conversations that went further than I would have had with someone.”

Heather calls her out that she was upset and wiping away tears on the boat, to the point where Heather defended her. “I rallied hard for you,” she says. “So he didn’t do it? Or he did do it?”

Todd looks uncomfortable as they go into commercial.

“I think the conversation with this woman went too far,” Bronwyn says. “I do. But I want to be very clear about this. When I said this on the boat, it was not happening in real time.”

Bronwyn explains, “I have an issue where I [sometimes] don’t feel ‘good enough’… When I felt that everything I said in this group was being misconstrued or misunderstood … it does trigger this narrative that I’m not good enough.”

Following the incident with the other woman, Todd gave Bronwyn a fifth-anniversary gift of a ring with five diamonds. There were five promises that went along with the five diamonds. Todd says they were “support, love, fidelity, take care of Gwen … and transparency.”

Meredith says her marriage is “beautiful” after some “bumps in the road” on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion

Andy asked Meredith about the state of her marriage since Seth spends so much time working away from home in Ohio.

“Contrary to what Angie and Whitney and Heather … said, Seth and I are monogamous,” Meredith says. “We do not cheat on each other. We have a beautiful marriage that sometimes has bumps in the road, just like any marriage … Anyone who’s been married for decades and says it’s always a ‘walk in the park and perfect’ is a liar.”

For his part, Seth says, “It helps that we’re not together physically that often, Andy. I highly recommend commuting, so it feels like a first date on the weekends. I see her every weekend, sometimes more than that.”

“People online,” Todd interjects, “accuse Bronwyn and I of the same thing. Some idiot from some ‘gossipy rag’ wrote the other day that I live in another state. Like Seth and Meredith, we do the same thing. I work here in New York quite a bit. We’ve had multiple homes. Bronwyn used to work in San Francisco. I agree with what Seth said. I totally understand that situation.”

“[We got] a lot of questions on Twitter wondering if you have a side chick in Ohio,” Andy adds. Ouch. Lisa actually gasps.

“No,” Seth flatly responds. “This is my side chick, Andy,” pointing to his hand. One of my long-ago exes used to call that his “other girlfriend, Rosy Palm.”

Mary shares why she and Robert decided to film the confession about his addiction struggle

After the “huuzzbands” are excused, Andy jumps right back in. “Last year you could barely pry Mary Cosby out of the sprinter van,” he says. “This season she ziplined out of her comfort zone and into a deep friendship with Angie, a surprising love of beer, and a mind-bending connection to Jeffrey Dahmer.”

“But it was Mary’s openness about her struggles with her son, Robert Jr., that kept us all in tears,” Andy concludes. The clip replaying Robert’s addiction struggles was heartbreaking, but the thing that brings tears to my eyes is seeing Angie holding Mary’s hand when we come back.

Mary admits that she and Robert talked about telling his story on-camera. “We didn’t plan what we were going to say,” she says, “but … we said, ‘If we can just help one person, then we’ll just tell our truth.’”

The love she received from viewers tells her that Robert’s story resonated with many people.

“What part of that conversation surprised you the most?” Andy asks. “He had ideations of suicide, you talked about very serious opiates and drugs that he was taking.”

“I didn’t expect him to say all of that,” Mary confesses. “I didn’t know that he was doing all that. The fact that I was unaware scared me … He lives in my house, [and] we’re so close. [I was] shocked.”

“We last saw you taking him to rehab,” Andy says. “Did he actively want to go to rehab, because they say it doesn’t really work unless you’re a participant?”

“He wanted to go,” Mary replies. “The way he opened up … that was a cry for help … He wanted to change.”

Mary gives an update on Robert Jr.’s progress and how Real Housewives of Salt Lake City co-star helped her get through it

Mary shared that he was in rehab for 30 days, and he’s different now that he’s home. “Once you go to rehab, you need to change your friends,” she adds. “He’s [more of a] homebody now … He goes to those AA [meetings], and he has friends he’s met from there.”

Andy says he was most affected by hearing Robert say he felt like “a stain.” Andy’s a dad now, so you can hear the emotion in his voice as he’s probably thinking of his own kids.

“You don’t want to hear your child say that,” Mary sobs, as Andy wipes away a tear. “He’s not. He’s everything.”

Looking at Mary’s situation differently, Andy asks, “Angie, what did it mean to you that Mary opened up to you during this whole process?”

“I felt honored that she shared this with me,” Angie responds. “What the world saw that day … is the Mary that guided me and talked to me about my mom and motherhood .”

“Was there anything that you went through with your mom’s addiction that made you able to connect with her in a different way?” Andy follows up.

“In my situation, I was too little,” Angie says. She was only eight when her mom died. “I used to think if I was old enough, I could have been part of helping my mom.”

Mary told Angie something she’d been waiting 43 years to hear. “I know if your mom could do it all over again,” Mary told her, “she would [go to rehab], too.” No one had ever said that to Angie before.

Where was former BFF Meredith while Mary was going through all of this?

Turning to Whitney, Andy says, “You’ve known Mary a long time, and you’ve had a rocky relationship.” In my mind, I can hear Mary chastising Whitney: “Little Girl.”

When Andy notices that Whitney’s very emotional, she explains that she’s been “trying not to make eye contact with anyone” because she would start crying.

“I watched [Mary’s conversation with her son] with my kids,” Whitney says. “I haven’t talked to my dad since Season 1 [because of his addictions]. It’s hard to explain to my kids, and for them to listen to Robert, they now understand why they don’t have a grandpa.”

Andy comments that despite her personal life, Mary seems “lighter” and just more willing to show up this season. “Why is that?”

Mary credited Angie’s friendship. “I found a friend that really wanted to be my friend,” she says. “Having that support, made me clock in.”

When a shocked Meredith gives Mary the evil eye, Andy asks, “You and Meredith had a nice friendship. Did you not feel that from her?”

“Meredith and my friendship is very different,” Mary answers carefully. “Meredith is a beautiful person and a beautiful friend. I love Meredith. [But she’s] a busy woman … Meredith always called in and checked on me. She was a very good friend to me. It was just different.”

“I wish I’d been able to be there for you,” Meredith says. “It made me really sad that I wasn’t.”

But in the end, Meredith and Mary hug it out and say they love each other.

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

Celebrities, they’re just as obsessed with Real Housewives of Salt Lake City as the rest of us. No seriously – major Hollywood names can’t seem to get enough of the wacky Real Housewives city. Rihanna is known for sliding into a snowflake holder’s DMs now and again. Plus, many A-list actors have tried to do their version of many a RHOSLC impersonation of everyone from Whitney Rose to Meredith Marks. We all just can’t get enough of those Salt Lake stars.

Julia Garner is one A-lister who doesn’t hide her love for RHOSLC. She’s even appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Whitney in the past, so she’s a die-hard fan through and through. When Julia and Andy Cohen were both special guests on a recent episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Julia took the opportunity to show off her best Lisa Barlow impersonation.

Julia Garner becomes Baby Gorgeous

In a clip posted to TikTok, Andy asked Julia if she was ready for the RHOSLC reunion to start this week. Almost instinctively, the spirit of Lisa took over her body and she let out her best Baby Gorgeous impression. “Baby Gorgeous. Oh my god. Lisa Barlow – beyond,” Julia said in her best Lisa voice. “Andy like I’m going the distance.” She managed to throw in like five of Lisa’s signature catchphrases in one sentence. That takes some serious talent.

Julia made sure to mention Vida Tequila in her spiel, which Andy thought was pretty impressive. “It’s a work in progress – it’s not there yet,” Julia said of her accent. Lisa is a special individual, and Julia did a pretty good job on a tough reenactment.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City continues on Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
