Monica Garcia‘s mom, Linda, is fighting back on X, formerly known as Twitter, after being accused of “praying” to land a role on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City before her daughter did.
Following Tuesday night’s second part of the season four reunion, which saw Monica, 40, telling her castmates that Linda had hoped she’d be named as part of the cast if Monica wasn’t chosen, Linda shared a message with her followers in which she slammed Monica for the “[lies]” and “[half-truths]” she’s told on the show.
“Everything Monica says about me is a lie or half-truth. I NEVER applied/auditioned,” Linda stated on January 16. “Not [season four] or any other. I’m an award-winning journalist and TV producer. That was the TV job in NYC — News Journalist/Producer. I already had the job.”
Linda also told her online audience that “reality TV is not [her] cup of tea.”
Along with her message, Linda included a series of messages sent between herself and Monica in February 2023.
“I know they don’t need me,” Linda had written in the first message.
“Yes I do … I need you,” Monica had replied.
Linda then shared an additional message in which she suggested she was not open to being part of RHOSLC because she didn’t want to sell her soul.
“And I wanna be there for you!! [One hundred percent] … But I ain’t selling my soul!!” she exclaimed with a praying emoji and crying while laughing emoji.
Also on Tuesday’s episode of the RHOSLC reunion, Monica said that Linda had left her family in Pennsylvania to travel to New York in hopes of landing a career in television and confirmed they have not spoken since filming wrapped.
Meanwhile, on her own social media account on Tuesday night, Monica shared a series of supportive posts from her fans and followers, one of whom applauded her as the “only” honest person on RHOSLC, noting that she isn’t “boring” like the rest.
“Not [Monica Garcia] carrying this [season and] reunion on her back. The only person honest in the cast who isn’t boring [as f*ck]. Legit paid $80 to download live TV on Fubo to watch her for these reunions. She is iconicccc,” the person had stated.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season four reunion, part three, airs next Tuesday, January 23, at 8/7c on Bravo.
