RHOSLC star Monica Garcia is putting the blame on production for at least one of the lies she said during season 4 of the show.
Monica Garcia’s lies slowly unraveled during season 4 of RHOSLC. By the final night in Bermuda it was clear that Monica was a liar and that the rest of the cast couldn’t trust her at all.
Not only did Monica lie about her involvement with Reality Von Tease, the RHOSLC newbie also lied about her relationship with Jen Shah and whether or not she had ever shopping in Meredith Mark’s boutique.
During season 2 of RHOSLC, Meredith told the ladies that while Jen was shopping at her store, one of her assistants allegedly stole a clutch.
In Bermuda, as Heather Gay was exposing the truth about Monica, the Beauty Lab and Laser owner revealed that Monica was in Meredith’s store when the clutch was taken. This tidbit stunned Meredith because Monica previously told her she had never been to her boutique when they filmed there for season 4 of RHOSLC.
“That wasn’t me. “I didn’t f*cking steal shit,” Monica said to which Meredith responded, “You were in my store Monica; it is on my security footage.”
“I didn’t say I wasn’t in your store,” Monica continued. “I didn’t steal from you.”
Meredith replied, “I’m not accusing you of stealing, but you said, ‘This is the first time I have been here.’”
Now, in a new interview with The Cut, Monica Garcia claims that production told her lie.
Monica owned her lie about previously shopping at Meredith’s Park City store.
“Okay, I said this at the reunion, and it didn’t get aired,” she said.
“When I pulled up to Meredith’s shop, production came up to me; they said, “Okay, we’re going to play this like you’ve never been here before.” And I said, “Well, I have been here before. I’ve been here with Jen.” And they were like, “It doesn’t matter. That’s not how we’re going to play it. We’re going to play it like it’s your first time here.”
The RHOSLC rookie then claimed that Bravo chose not to air her statement at the reunion, noting “that’s the honest freaking truth.”
“I’ll sit here, and I’ll take it, and people call me a liar, but that’s what happened.”
As previously reported, Monica will NOT be returning to RHOSLC for season 5. However, producers have hinted that Monica’s time on RHOSLC may just be a “cooling-off period” and that she could return to the show in the future.
RHOSLC begins production on season 5 next month and is expected to premiere on Bravo in late 2024.
