Whitney’s castmates came against her in what she felt was a premeditated attack. The trial of Whitney Rose only caused her to push back harder against her costars. One reason that Lisa came after Whitney in particular was due to a podcast appearance.
Whitney took to the microphone to call Lisa the villain of RHOSLC. She did it lightheartedly, but Lisa still wasn’t amused. Shortly thereafter, rumors circulated over Whitney’s jewelry. Whitney made some phone calls and it seemed that Lisa was the culprit.
Whitney Rose and Meredith Marks react to Lisa’s rumors
Bravo shared a preview of the upcoming RHOSLC episode. During the clip, Whitney and Meredith sat down for a brief discussion. Meredith admitted she had “reservations” about meeting with Whitney because of her perceived wrongful attacks. Still, Meredith wanted “to give her a chance to maybe acknowledge her wrongdoings at some point.”
Whitney immediately apologizes “for going so hard” on Meredith. Whitney explained that she felt someone was intentionally trying to hurt her. Meredith wondered aloud who would do that. “I think it’s Lisa,” Whitney said. “I reached out to someone who knows that account and had them see if they could find out for me who tipped her off. And [she] verbally confirmed that it’s Lisa Barlow.”
Meredith didn’t know what to say at first. Whitney said, “It hurts.” Meredith thought to herself and said, “I would just keep an open mind and make sure you’re dealing with real, credible sources who don’t have some other agenda.” Whitney assured her, “I am.” Meredith seemed unconvinced. Ultimately, she encouraged Whitney to talk to Lisa, separate from her.
