Season five of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has fans divided regarding who’s side to take in the various beefs with the cast. One of the most significant issues this season has been between Lisa Barlow and Whitney Rose. Now, Lisa is opening up about where the two stand after recent episodes.
Fans will recall that Heather Gay informed Whitney that someone had been spreading rumors about her business. After talking to a podcaster, Whitney concluded that it was Lisa. This led to intense drama, and Whitney even said she would get the police involved. The podcaster has come out and said his call to Whitney was edited for the show.
Recently, Lisa spoke to US Weekly about her issues with Whitney and if there is hope for their friendship. She said, “I mean, she’s been doing this since season 1 when she made up lies about me with the bartenders.”
She then recounted her history with Whitney, saying, “Then [in] season 2, she came up with more things. Season 3, she accused me of sleeping with a business partner that’s also my husband’s business partner. And the list goes on and on and on, and I’m done. I’m so done.”
The RHOSLC star also discussed the husbands getting involved in their issues during the most recent episode. According to Lisa, “I didn’t get the husbands involved. I was going up to my husband, John, who happened to be standing next to Justin. And for me, it’s like, you’re participating in this, you back your wife in her lie. So I’m like, ‘Your wife’s a liar.’ And I mean, there is no lie. It’s out on Twitter, all over the internet, that I was not the one that did that.”
Lisa then discussed her future with Whitney and if they could be friends.
“No. I always have a path forward. I always forgive. I give grace. But I told her this time, ‘You’re lying about me and you’re going to have to say I’m sorry, and this time I’m not going to forgive you. It’s been one too many times. Whitney needs to stop lying about everybody.”
She added, “I don’t care if she’s in front of me, beside me, behind me. I could care less.”
Lisa also spoke to The Standard about her disdain for her co-star and how she doesn’t want to be around her.
She said, “Well, she’s blocked in my phone, and I don’t follow her on Instagram. I don’t want to see her. I don’t want to look at her. I think she does things that are so damaging too like, I have given her grace.”
The two have also had issues in the past, and Lisa also discussed the idea of giving Whitney grace.
Lisa explained, “And you know what my ‘Besos’ dinner, she’s like, ‘What is grace? What is this grace you’re giving me?’ Well, you told everyone I slept with my business partner, who’s also my husband’s business partner, and that’s not true. So grace is like moving on after someone does horrible things to you, like, I’ve gifted her things, like, on a regular basis, and she trashes the things I gift her.”
In the end, Lisa said, “So like, the fact, like, she can be in front of me, on the side of me, behind me, I don’t really care, but like, she’ll never be like, well, we can be around each other. She’ll never be my person again.”
Fans can watch new episodes of RHOSLC on Wednesday nights.
