Bronwyn Newport Claps Back at Lisa Barlow’s Claim That She “Recommended” Her for RHOSLC Season 2 But It “Didn’t Work Out for Her,” See Bronwyn’s Fiery Post

Lisa Barlow claimed she “recommended” Bronwyn Newport in season two, but it “didn’t work out for her,” as Bronwyn clapped back, accusing Lisa of writing “historical fiction.”

Bronwyn joined the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City in season five as Lisa’s friend. But their friendship took a turn when Lisa seemingly took Heather Gay’s side amid her feud with Bronwyn. The newbie then accused Lisa of expecting her friends to “ride [her] d**k” – without offering it back.

“I recommended [Bronwyn] season two because I thought she would be a great Housewife,” recalled Lisa in an interview with Virtual Reali-Tea, via @commentsbybravo on Instagram. “She filmed with me a little bit, and unfortunately, it didn’t work out for her.”

“That’s not shade, that’s truth,” Lisa continued. “[It didn’t work out for her] until this season. But I think she has a lot of great attributes that you want in a Housewife. I just didn’t expect her to have so many issues with me. I was a little surprised because they’re issues from her. They’re not from me.”

Addressing Bronwyn’s marriage, Lisa suggested that Todd Bradley is “a bold person” like herself.

“I think we just say whatever we think,” she said, seemingly alluding to Bronwyn and Todd’s onscreen disagreements. “I’ve always enjoyed Todd and Bronwyn together. Like when we go to dinner with them, they can banter in front of others too. They don’t shy away from that. So I think it’s like on brand for their marriage. They have a very different marriage than me and John.”

In an Instagram comment, Bronwyn clapped back.

“I love historical fiction story hour with Lisa!” Bronwyn wrote. “Should be its own segment! You and I both know it was nice of you to recommend me, and yes, I talked to Bravo previously. Thank you! But the filming I tried and didn’t ‘work out’ at was actually me just showing up to your son’s Fresh Wolf and Utah Foster care event to support them, you and the kids in Utah foster care.”

“You’d think you’d remember when a friend and her husband supported you and your boys,” she continued, “and not try and paint it now as some failure to launch.”
