Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Lisa Barlow and two companies she is associated with including Vida Tequila are facing lawsuits. 

According to TMZ, the lawsuits alleges that more than $400k was loaned out but never paid back .

Vida Tequila and Luxe Marketing are all named defendants in a lawsuit brought by a man named Bart Carlson who alleges he is a longtime friend of Lisa Barlow.

Bart claims he made loans to her starting over a decade ago. Bart says that Lisa came to him back in 2010 and told him she and her businesses were experiencing financial hardship, and she needed money to cover the expenses. 

Carlson agreed to give Lisa the money but never specified a time period of repayment because they are longtime friends.

TMZ reports, 

“Over the next several years — beginning in May 2010 through February 2018, he says — Carlson alleges he loaned Barlow, Vida and Luxe a total of $410,842.36 — money he says he’s asked for several times over the last few years … without any repayment. He says every time he’s asked for the money, Barlow has allegedly responded by basically saying there’s no way for her or her companies to pay him back … and, now he wants some help from a judge to get what he claims he’s owed.“

Lisa is known on the show for promoting her Tequila brand and the ladies are currently filming it’s fifth season meaning this will definitely be discussed.
