Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 might be over, but it will live on in our hearts. So many memorable moments happened in one short season. Plus, Season 5 gave us Bronwyn Newport and all of her over-the-top fashion, which is also unforgettable.

Bronwyn didn’t have the easiest debut on RHOSLC. Aside from feuding with her one-time bestie Lisa Barlow, her marriage was also in the hot seat. Bronwyn’s dynamic with Todd Bradley was awkward at best. When she later revealed that they struggled with infidelity issues in the past, some of her costars wondered why Bronwyn stuck around. Now, she’s providing an update since the tension has subsided.

Bronwyn Newport is moving forward

During an interview with the New York Post, Bronwyn gushed about her husband, claiming they’re better than ever.  “Everybody thinks Todd is not vulnerable. That takes a lot of vulnerability to say I’m wrong and make some changes,” she said. “Our relationship is much stronger because of it because I really appreciate that sentiment.” Apparently, Todd did some internal work after seeing himself portrayed on TV, and Bronwyn applauds him for it.

Bronwyn continued to praise her husband’s growth. “I also think in his own way, when the ladies and I notice something that was off, Todd was willing to fix it. And sometimes they said stuff and I was like, no I don’t agree with that and it made me remember all the things I love about him,” she said. “When you defend someone, you remember all the good things about them.” While Bronwyn admitted that she would redo “everything” about the last season, it sounds like her marriage might be stronger for it in the long run.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is available to stream on Peacock.

TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED BY TODD AND BRONWYN’S RELATIONSHIP STATUS? DO YOU WANT HER TO COME BACK TO RHOSLC FOR SEASON 6?

The post RHOSLC’s Bronwyn Newport Provides Relationship Update With Husband Todd Bradley After Tense Season 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.

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.

The Season 5 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion started with a bang. Lisa Barlow claimed that she received text messages from a jewelry store about Bronwyn Newport. Namely, that Bronwyn’s hubby, Todd Bradley, didn’t purchase that jaw-dropping $4 million necklace. Well, Bronwyn explained away the story, which just left everyone with more questions. But don’t fret! Mary Cosby is on the case and has broken down what she believes happened.

Mary Cosby found the simplest solution to Bronwyn Newport’s shifting jewelry stories

At the reunion, Lisa claimed that Bronwyn and her husband never purchased anything from the jewelry store. Meanwhile, Bronwyn explained that instead, she purchased a smaller necklace and hoop earrings. However, Bronwyn’s story shifted again.

When she was a guest on Watch What Happens Live, she told host Andy Cohen something different. She explained, “So, we were talking about making something different, and I really wanted to be promoting the jeweler and helping them up until I heard what was going on at the reunion. And then no, I have not bought anything from them, and will not,” Bronwyn added.

Recently, Mary was a guest on WWHL with comedian and actress Chloe Fineman. “What did you make of Bronwyn’s story about the necklace? Because on the show, she said she didn’t buy the necklace, but she did buy some earrings,” Andy stated. “Then on Watch What Happens Live, she said she didn’t buy anything.”

Chloe jumped in. “She didn’t buy anything? That’s what she said?” While Mary had a simple response. “She lied,” the RHOSLC star said.

“She said on Watch What Happens Live, ‘Oh no. I didn’t buy anything,’” Andy explained. Mary replied, “She lied.”

“She lied?” Andy asked. Once again, Mary repeated her mantra. “She lied,” Mary stated. Chloe added, “Fake, fake, fake, fake!”

Since Bronwyn claimed to have some receipts of her own, now would be a good time to find them. Plus, Lisa has compared Bronwyn to Jen Shah, and found Bronwyn’s behavior to be “probably worse.” I’m guessing Bronwyn and Lisa’s friendship is doomed.

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

TELL US – DO YOU THINK THAT MARY IS CORRECT ABOUT BRONWYN? WILL LISA AND BRONWYN EVER BE FRIENDS AGAIN?

The post Mary Cosby Accuses Bronwyn Newport of Lying Over Jewelry Purchases appeared first on Reality Tea.

Bronwyn Newport and Todd Bradley came to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion ready to defend their marriage. There were questions all season about the business executive’s demeanor toward the newbie RHOSLC star. Bronwyn caused more speculation after telling her costars that Todd had an alleged moment of infidelity in their marriage.

They presented a united front at the reunion, and Bronwyn walked back those claims. The duo are going strong. And a few of their costars jumped into the conversation to defend the relationship.

Heather shared the “similarities between Todd” and her ex-husband

Peacock shared the uncensored version of the second installment of the Season 5 reunion. Andy Cohen initiated the conversation via a fan question.

“Bronwyn, watching Todd reprimand you for arguing in the pool sounded more like a parent scolding his child than a husband talking to his wife,” Andy read.

The question veered toward RHOSLC veteran Heather Gay. She shared her “initial reaction” to that conversation and if she saw “similarities between Todd” and her ex-husband.”

“I did,” Heather said “I was married for a long time, and [it was] a relationship that I just wanted to make work no matter what, because I wanted to be married and I wanted to have the whole thing work out.”

Angie defended Todd as “funny”

But Heather also found Todd “positive” in an unseen conversation. Peacock shared the clip.

“I have worked my entire life to overcompensate for the fact that I didn’t show up as all of my friends showed up, which is like, stunningly beautiful,” Heather said in the flashback.

“There’s no reason you should feel that way,” Todd replied. “You’re exceptionally attractive. You’re dressed exceptionally well — OK, I went too far — there’s no reason for you to feel that way. And by the way, I think you’re pretty smart. And I love that as much as anything.”

Back on set at the reunion, Heather said that she did not see Todd speaking to Bronwyn as kindly.

“I didn’t see that same energy to your wife,” she shared. “It made me remember what it’s like to be in a marriage where you’re not seen. You’re trying to validate yourself and get approval, be important.”

Bronwyn seemed unaffected by Heather’s musings. She brushed it off as an issue of perspective and personal experience. Angie Katsanevas chimed in in support of the relationship and to praise Todd.

“I have been around them. We’re neighbors and they’ve been over to my house and I’ve seen them interact,” she said. “We work out at the same gym as Todd, and he’s fun and he’s funny. I see him and Todd actually is fun. And he’s funny.”

TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HEATHER’S CONVERSATION WITH TODD?

The post Bronwyn Newport’s Marriage Scrutinized During Unseen RHOSLC Reunion Moment appeared first on Reality Tea.

Part 2 of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion just aired and first on the agenda was Bronwyn Newport’s claims of Todd Bradley’s alleged “infidelity.” The couple calmly discussed the situation, minimizing both the alleged affair and the impact on the duo. However, it’s clear that Todd and Bronwyn worked on their problems and had a united front to the reunion.

Bronwyn brought the issue to the group during a cast trip during the season. While on a boat ride, the RHOSLC newbie was reduced to tears recalling how she discovered a text conversation between Todd and another woman that had crossed a line. Addressing it at the reunion, the former financial professional had a clearer head on the matter.

The couple “talked it out” but did not watch the RHOSLC episode

“Todd, I’ve really been wanting to ask you,” Andy Cohen asked, “Your reaction to seeing Bronwyn share with the ladies in Mexico the story of your emotional affair?” 

“Well, I have to apologize, because I haven’t seen it,” Todd said.

However, Bronwyn clarified that while the conversation was “just hard to watch,” the couple “talked it out.” Todd admitted that he did not agree with his wife airing their issues publicly, though the alleged infidelity was not a recent event.

“Anything that Bronwyn had shared would be more than I’d want her to share,” he added.

Seth Marks asked if the affair “was only emotional.”

“Mhm,” Bronwyn said of the parameters of the supposed betrayal. “I wouldn’t even say it’s an emotional affair. There’s a lot of people that Todd has different conversations with, and I felt like there’s conversations that went further than I would have had with someone.” 

Heather Gay challenged Bronwyn’s statement and asked her to recall the conversation from the boat ride.

“You wept; you said he was disloyal, that he’d an affair … So he didn’t do it, or he did do it?” she asked.

Bronwyn admitted, “I think the conversation went too far. I do.”

Todd and Bronwyn revealed how they re-pledged their devotion to each other after the incident took place. He promised “support, love, fidelity,” as well as support for Gwen, Bronwyn’s daughter. Most importantly, Todd promised “transparency.”

The conversation ended on a positive note, but Brownyn did reveal her feelings about inadequacies in the relationship.

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 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.

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF SALT LAKE CITY SEASON 5 REUNION, PART 2? WERE YOU SURPRISED BY MARY AND ANGIE’S CLOSE FRIENDSHIP?

Although Jen Shah is in prison for scamming elderly people, Lisa Barlow seems to think that Bronwyn Newport could be worse. It’s an odd comparison, but it’s just the latest attempt by the ladies of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City to try to downplay Jen’s crimes, and we’re over here a little puzzled about how we got here.

Of course, we’re not afraid to admit that Bronwyn has made some rookie mistakes in Season 5. She started strong by showing up in her first scene in that YSL coat, but as the season progressed, things slowly went off the rails.

Is she on the same level as a felonious fraudster? We’re not sure about that…

Lisa Barlow thinks Bronwyn Newport is a “snake”

In the first part of the RHOSLC Season 5 reunion, we watched Bronwyn and Lisa clash over that silly diamond necklace. Clearly, Lisa is still not over it. When Bravo posted a clip from the reunion to X, formerly Twitter, the Queen of Sundance spent two days going back and forth with fans in the replies.

Throughout the comments, Lisa went on and on, claiming to have receipts to back up her side of the story. At one point, a fan told Lisa that she was “no better” than Jen. That’s when Lisa chimed in with a comparison of her own.

“Yes, she is a snake and no better than Jen actually probably worse lying to people hurting people making up stuff that didn’t happen. It’s pretty sh*tty,” Lisa wrote regarding Bronwyn.

Like clockwork, Lisa’s followers chimed in to explain to her that stealing from elderly people isn’t nearly as bad as getting caught in a lie during your rookie season of Housewives.

One user wrote, “Sorry, did I miss the episode where Bronwyn steals millions of dollars from elderly people and lets her mom drain her retirement to pay for legal fees?”

Another RHOSLC fan added, “The way you are minimizing Jen Shah and her crimes says a lot about you. You’re comparing Jen Shah stealing thousands of elders’ retirement funds and scamming innocent people to someone not buying jewelry. Birds of a feather…”

Notably, this isn’t the first time that Lisa has tried to downplay Jen’s crimes. Last year, she claimed that she’d rather have the convicted felon return to RHOSLC over Monica Garcia. She also claimed that Jen was “harmless” as long as you aren’t elderly.

This trend of softening up on Jen comes as she continues getting time shaved off from her prison sentence. The latest update suggests that she’ll be home by Thanksgiving 2026. Lisa must be thrilled.

The Season 5 reunion of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is delivering. Heather Gay and newbie Bronwyn Newport discussed why Heather was excluded from the Palm Springs trip. And, finally, Lisa Barlow and Bronwyn had it out over a jeweler’s text message. In the end, Bronwyn learned that Lisa just isn’t that into her as a friend.

Why Bronwyn Newport didn’t go to dinner with the cast after the RHOSLC Season 5 reunion taping

Of course, Lisa had texts from someone she knows who works at the jeweler. According to Lisa’s contact, Bronwyn and her husband, Todd Bradley, never purchased that stunning $4 million necklace. Bronwyn also claimed that she picked hoop earrings and a smaller necklace instead of keeping the necklace from Todd. But the jeweler said they never bought anything. And Lisa showed host Andy Cohen the text messages. Ice cold.

Bronwyn was recently a guest on Watch What Happens Live. After the reunion, the Salt Lake City ladies went out to dinner together, but Bronwyn didn’t attend. Was she not invited?

The Daily Dish reported that in the end, nothing dramatic happened about the dinner. “Oh, so much has been made out of that. I heard from them after I was back in pajamas and recouping,” Bronwyn explained. “And I hope they had fun. Yeah, no weirdness.”

As for who did attend the dinner in early December 2024? Andy previously got all the details from RHOSLC star Whitney Rose on WWHL. “Everyone but Bronwyn,” Whitney stated. “And Mary [Cosby] didn’t come. Lisa and Meredith [Marks] joined us later.”

It was a shock when Bronwyn revealed that she brought receipts to the Season 5 RHOSLC reunion. Girl, you have to show them! “I brought my own receipts that I didn’t show,” she explained. “I don’t know always that we need to. Then you start to go down this path of, ‘I’m wrong and you’re right,’ and then there’s no resolution.”

Well, you may as well show those receipts, because getting anything resolved at a reunion isn’t guaranteed.

TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT BRONWYN DIDN’T GO TO DINNER? DO YOU WANT HER TO GET A SNOWFLAKE NEXT SEASON?

The post Bronwyn Newport Reveals Why She Didn’t Join RHOSLC Cast for Dinner After Season 5 Reunion appeared first on Reality Tea.

Lisa Barlow and Bronwyn Newport did not start the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion off on the right foot. To be honest, it’s what we expected. Their friendship has been fractured since the beginning of the season and only getting worse, culminating in a mud-slinging fest at the sit-down.

Both Bronwyn and Lisa went head-to-head about the situation involving Bronwyn’s daughter during the RHOSLC Season 5 reunion. While they both let their point of view be known loudly and clearly in front of the entire cast, neither felt a sense of resolution.

Peacock’s extended and uncensored version of the reunion that featured both ladies venting about one another backstage to their husbands proves it.

Bronwyn Newport and Lisa Barlow’s broken friendship

First, Lisa went backstage and burst into tears when filling in John Barlow on her feud with Bronwyn.  “I’m tired of the hamster wheel,” Lisa cried. “I feel like I was trying to be the best friend to Bronwyn this whole year. And I watch and I see and I’m like, ‘You had a consummate issue with me. And I was thinking we were good.”

Oh Baby Gorgeous, how did you miss the signs? Bronwyn clearly hasn’t been happy in this friendship for quite awhile.

Then, Bronwyn explained to Todd Bradley her side of the fight. “I feel like I’ve really said, ‘I’m going to start with some accountability. I’m going to take responsibility for this,'” Bronwyn said. “We’re not friends. We’re never going to be friends.”

It seems like it’s going to take an RHOSLC miracle for these two to work out their problems, but we know Andy Cohen will try his hardest during the remainder of the reunion.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion continues on Wednesday, January 29 at 8/7c on Bravo.
