Something is rotten in the state of Utah.
Fans are reacting to Monica Garcia’s leaked message to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City casting, which contradicted her claims on the recent reunion. Meanwhile, an eagle-eyed fan noticed the strange timeline of her message and Jen Shah’s cease and desist.
Is Monica the evil queen who usurped the throne – or is it more complicated than the story Heather Gay shouts? The ‘bombshell’ against Monica is that she lied about a ‘troll’ page, though Heather herself continually lied last season for a convicted felon. Perhaps Monica is in good company.
“I emailed the email for casting,” claimed Monica at the reunion, via @bravosnarkside on Instagram. “I said my name is Monica Fowler, and your show sucks and your ratings are s**t, and it’s gonna get canceled because you don’t have the right cast.”
Immediately afterward, a screenshot of Monica’s message appeared.
“Reaching out in regards to your casting call! Would love more information on what needs to be done or how to move forward,” wrote Monica in the message. “You guys need a feisty excommunicated Latina on the show immediately!! I’m your girl!”
Fans then reacted to her apparent contradiction.
“When is she not lying?” asked @bravosnarkside.
“Can someone interview her ex husband’s sister? Let’s get her on next season,” asked another.
Though many fans think Monica shows “true sociopathic behavior,” others feel the show was sliding into boredom before she kicked down the door.
“Maybe she said those things during the interview? Either way, I agree! The show was going down & needed a revival,” said a different user.
“Season 3 DID SUCK. Where was the lie,” asked a fourth fan.
“Why is everyone on Monica? When the rest of the cast is just like her?” asked another. “One is in jail, the other running a cult, one drifting [from] rental to rental … one blames her religion [for] lack of morals and bad decisions making. So Monica fits right in. She brought the show back to life.”
One eagle-eyed fan noticed something strange in the timeline of Jen Shah’s cease and desist against Monica (of which, according to Jen, production was given a copy). The cease and desist was sent on March 3, 2021 – eight months before Monica emailed casting.
“Not only did they know, they made sure, somehow, that [castmates] find out,” wrote one fan in the comments of @thebravobabe’s post. “I trust Heather less than Monica … It’s a mighty big web.”
