On Wednesday’s episode of RHOSLC, Whitney Rose takes a stand after being “steamrolled” by her co-stars and demands they “stop weaponizing my trauma.”
Whitney Rose and Lisa Barlow’s feud heats up on this week’s episode of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City with co-star Heather Gay getting involved!
On the September 25 episode of RHOSLC, the cast continues to discuss the drama between Whitney and Lisa and whose side they are on. If you recall, the two RHOSLC co-stars got into a spat during last week’s premiere episode over Whitney calling Lisa the true “villain” of the franchise on a podcast appearance.
While driving to lunch, newbie Bronwyn Newport told Lisa and Heather stirred the pot by telling them something completely different than what she had communicated to Whitney.
“On our drive with Lisa, you were team f—ing Lisa and you were saying horrible things about Whitney,” Heather recalled, while calling out Bronwyn. “And that made me feel like you were being two-faced to Lisa and me and two-faced to Whitney.”
“What did she say about me?” Whitney asked, to which Heather responded: “Talking about when you said, ‘This is healed Whitney,’ [Bronwyn] said she had tears of laughter crying from [her] eyes.”
The RHOSLC newbie admitted she said that but insisted she already had told Whitney the same thing.
“Truly if that’s all Bronwyn said, she’s admitted it to my face,” Whitney said in her season 5 confessional. “I really don’t think Heather’s energy matches what actually happened.”
Whitney explained to Heather, “The way that you’re saying it is really messy and confusing,”insinuating her cousin was trying to stir the pot and create more drama among the women.
However, Heather defended her actions.
“When you said to me, ‘Bronwyn met with me and she was totally supportive,’ I said, ‘Really? That surprises me because of the lunch we went to,’” she explained. “I left that car feeling like everything [Bronwyn] said was a little bit poisonous — especially about Whitney.”
Bronwyn then wondered why Heather was so adamant about her being two-faced, insisting that what she tells her friends in private shouldn’t be “used against me” in public. She pointed out that no one in the car called out her comments in the moment so they shouldn’t be throwing her under the bus now in an effort to look superior.
“At a basic human level, if someone is being vulnerable with you and telling you about their trauma, do not weaponize it against them,”Whitney noted. “As a group of friends, we need to be better about that.”
“Y’all steamrolled me!” she added, referring to her drama with Lisa.
“We did not steamroll you,” Lisa fired back. “We are not gonna use the word steamrolling because you know what steamrolling is? Going on a podcast and talking about your f—ing friends when they cannot defend themselves. I did nothing to you.”
Whitney maintained that she never meant to hurt Lisa but added that there’s “a reason to say those things and feel this way.”
“All you do is talk in feelings,” Lisa replied. “Talk in facts and then we can have a good conversation.”
Whitney then interjected: “You’ve been a s—ty friend!”
“You’re a s—ty friend,” Lisa said. Meredith Marks couldn’t help but agree, adding, “You take out things on me that have nothing to do with me.”
“I’m sorry that I talked about you on the podcast,” Whitney conceded before she and Lisa made amends.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
