Meredith Marks may not be featured on the upcoming seventh season of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City due to the behavior she exhibited on season six.
Following a controversial moment that reportedly took place between her and her co-star, Britani Bateman, 54, during which she was accused of humiliating Britani, 54, and leaving her in tears, a source has suggested that an impending cast shakeup could leave the series without Meredith, 54.
“Many people [are] having issues [with Meredith Marks and] don’t want to film with her currently, given what went on this season,” an insider close to production alleged to Radar Online on December 15.
As RHOSLC fans will recall, Meredith’s issues with Britani reached a high note when the latter mentioned a “possible indiscretion” by her husband, Seth Marks. After the claim was made amid a cast trip, Meredith was accused of berating Britani on the plane ride home.
“I slipped off into sleep and was awoken by Meredith raging and making a scene,” Heather Gay, 51, recalled.
Mary Cosby, 53, spoke of the incident as well, saying, “Meredith started reliving what Britani said, started getting upset, and started going off. And she dwelled on it and dwelled on it. And she could not come back from it. And it just spiraled for hours.”
Meanwhile, Britani said she was “humiliated” and “started bawling.”
“I just couldn’t take it anymore. I’ve never been treated like that in my life,” she stated.
According to the insider, no one knows yet what decisions will be made, but there is “speculation Meredith won’t return to the show.”
“There are rumors floating around stating she was downgraded, and she rejected that. While I can’t confirm that, I can say that I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t return next season,” the source explained.
As for the alleged encounter between Meredith and Britani, the insider agreed it was “really bad.”
“She can try to tell her version of events as she’s done on the show, but think about it, when someone like Mary Cosby, who absolutely cannot stand Britani, is coming to her defense over what happened… it just doesn’t seem like that would happen if it wasn’t true,” they shared. “Also, so many of the women share the same story, and Meredith is the only one who seems to differ on what happened. Lisa Barlow has mostly backed her, which kind of reeks of them having some sort of agreement before the season to have each other’s backs – but aside from that… everyone seems on the same page.”
“Only time” will tell what will happen with season seven, the insider continued, “but… a lot of the cast is definitely not happy with Meredith and where things stand right now.”
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season six airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
