Lisa Barlow believes that her RHOSLC co-star Whitney Rose continues to come for her in order to remain “relevant” on the hit Bravo show.
“I think she does it to be relevant. I think she thinks, ‘No one’s paying attention to me. I don’t have anything else going on,’” Lisa Barlow tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast.
The 49-year-old says she thinks the 37-year-old is the “biggest liar.”
“Every single season,” she notes, “we see her tell lies and then at the end, we see the truth.”
Whitney Rose and Lisa Barlow have notoriously butted heads on RHOSLC since the franchise first premiered in November 2019. While the two attempted to mend fences here and there throughout the years, all trust between the two was lost after filming season 2 in 2021.
“Whitney brought a guy to a party Season 2 and told everyone I slept with him and I had no idea that happened until after,” Lisa recalls.
“Whitney and I get to a point [in Season 5] where I’m like, ‘You constantly lie about me. You make me have to tell the truth and you don’t like that. You want people to believe your lies.’”
During Wednesday’s season 5 premiere, the RHOSLC co-stars became combative with each other during a heated discussion at Lisa’s Valentine’s Day party. The drama started following an interview Whitney did in February 2024 with Nick Viall’s “Viall Files” podcast.
While discussing RHOSLC with Viall, Whitney claimed that Lisa is the “villain” of their social group.
“I have not done anything to you besides calling you a villain, which I stand by,” Whitney told Lisa on Wednesday’s RHOSLC season 5 premiere episode. The Vida Tequila founder fired back, “I will be your villain, bitch. Game on!’”
Lisa tells “Virtual Reali-Tea” that she believes “everyone has the right to say their opinions.” However, she thinks Whitney was trying to “denigrate [her] character” when speaking on the Viall Files podcast earlier this year.
“She moves the goalpost. Once you resolve an issue, there’s a new issue and another new issue. And then you have a rebuttal and a rebuttal for that and then it’s another issue,” Lisa said, adding, “I hope she heals.”
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
