RHOSLC star Whitney Rose is accused of selling marked up jewelry from Ali Express on her jewelry brand Prism’s website. Get all the tea!
Whitney Rose‘s jewelry brand Prism has been a hot topic throughout season 5 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. The 38-year-old has been fighting off gossip about her business Prism. The rumor mill claims that Whitney is buying the jewelry off of sites like Alibaba and Ali Express then marking it up and repackaging it for her spiritual and fashionable jewelry brand.
During one episode, Whitney slammed RHOSLC co-star Meredith Marks for gossiping about her business and questioning its legitimacy.
Whitney denied the allegations that the jewelry from her brand is from Chinese e-commerce sites and urged Meredith to keep her nose out of her business. She also called Meredith unsupportive and claimed that she was behind the rumors about Prism.
On this week’s episode of RHOSLC, it was revealed that Lisa Barlow was the one who was actually leaking rumors about Prism’s legitimacy to social media gossip pages.
“Adam is a casual friend of mine who is also a podcaster, and he is friends with the person that runs the account that posted that Prism’s jewelry comes from Alibaba,” Whitney explained on Wednesday’s episode of RHOSLC. “So I asked Adam to reach out to the account to see if he could find out who fed the story because I have my suspicions but I need the proof.”
“It is someone who you’re close to who is putting this information out,” Adam told Whitney over the phone, he then revealed that the account confirmed that the person in the RHOSLC group who has a liquor brand was leaking the gossip.
Now, more proof is coming to light that Whitney is purchasing pieces from Chinese e-commerce sites for her jewelry brand.
Instagram page Bravosnarkside shared images showing at least two pieces of jewelry Whitney purchased from Ali Express to resell on her brand’s website. Whitney purchased the pieces for a fraction of what she is selling them for.
One zodiac pendant sells for $3.96 on Ali Express while Whitney’s Prism line sold the same necklace for $49.00. On the other hand, a protection necklace is listed for $1.64 a piece on the e-commerce site. Meanwhile, Whitney is selling it for $43.00.
Whitney has yet to address the scandal on social media or in the press.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
