Lisa Barlow took aim at Whitney Rose for her “vile” behavior against her and her husband, John Barlow, after Wednesday’s finale of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season five.
As Heather Gay, 51, and Meredith Marks, 53, also weighed in, Lisa, 50, slammed Whitney, 38, for sharing supposed details about a tryst she and John allegedly had with another woman, stating that her castmate was “beneath” her as she targeted her business. Plus, Whitney admitted to having regrets about repeating the “heinous” rumor.
“The fact that she brought my husband up, there is no forgiveness there,” Lisa declared on the January 15 episode of the RHOSLC: After Show. “I don’t give a f*ck about her, and she’s, like, so vile.”
Whitney, who admitted she didn’t believe the claim, shared the rumor about Lisa and John after Heather suggested the cast air out their dirty laundry with one another by sharing the worst thing they’d ever texted about their co-stars.
“That she would bring in my amazing husband, my north, my person, into a girls’ dinner, like, you wanna talk about projecting, should we talk about you? And what does [Justin Rose] do when he goes to parties because my husband would never go to the parties that you and your friends go to?” Lisa wondered. “My friends are classy people you would die to hang out with.”
Lisa went on to accuse Whitney of lying about her business and going after her marriage, her husband, and “everything that’s sacred.”
“I am not your friend. You are not on my level,” Lisa stated. “You are so far beneath me that you can’t even see where she is it’s so far down. And she’ll never be able to climb her way up to being Lisa Barlow. She should never wear a wig. She should never pretend to be me because you can’t be me and you never will.”
“Good luck with your Alibaba sh*t and your marriage because that’s what you need. Don’t talk about mine,” she added.
Meanwhile, in her own segment, Whitney said that while she’d written worse things about Lisa, she chose to read her text about John because she felt it was “laughable.”
“I feel bad about bringing John into it. In my mind, it was so heinous and not true that I’m like, it’s laughable. When Justin repeated the story to me, I was like, ‘What?’ It’s laughable, but again, that shows where the pain and hurt is, but I don’t think it’s true,” she clarified.
According to Whitney, Lisa didn’t go into Heather’s group exercise with the goal of reconciling.
“There was a sacred space being held of, ‘Let’s truly burn this,’ and she showed me she has zero intention of being my friend and so I’ve kind of left our friendship in Puerto Vallarta,” she explained.
Although Lisa and Whitney seem to be far gone from their past friendship, Heather admitted she still has hope.
“I think there’s a world where they can absolutely move forward from the damage. I say that as someone who has been absolutely reviled by Lisa and hated by Lisa. I never thought we could be in the place we’re at, and that alone speaks to the potential for her and Whitney,” she reasoned.
But Meredith felt otherwise.
“You never said the things about her and her husband that Lisa said,” she reminded Heather. “I don’t know that Lisa will be able to move past that.”
“From Lisa’s standpoint, I think she feels like she had problems with Whitney from the beginning, she gave her a chance and she really did, they became friends, she opened up, she gave her a chance. And I think she found out some of the stuff that was based on was not truthful, and I think she was pretty rattled by that, and this was, like, a final straw for her,” Meredith continued. “[And] I think what [Whitney] said was vile and disgusting and very unnecessary.”
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season five airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
