During Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, everyone has a hand in the drama. Lisa Barlow is feuding with Whitney Rose over being called “a villain.”

Then Whitney accused Lisa of spreading a damaging rumor about her jewelry business, which Lisa denied. And Lisa’s good friend, Angie Katsanevas, is hanging out more with Whitney than Lisa. So, with all this drama coming from the current cast, would Lisa ever put out the welcome mat for Jen Shah to return? After her prison stint, of course.
Lisa Barlow is “open to anything” … except Monica Garcia
As you may recall, Lisa wasn’t crying any tears when Monica Garcia exited RHOSLC after the Reality Von Tease troll account scandal. When asked whether Jen or Monica’s betrayal taught her more about friendship, Lisa told Entertainment Tonight, “Monica’s. I feel like Jen … you know, as toxic as Jen’s behavior could be, I feel like Monica pretended to be something she wasn’t in every capacity. And I feel like the fact that she could like be nice to our faces while saying the worst things behind our backs, like detrimental things, perpetuating lies,” she added.
Lisa continued, “She wants to pretend to be this hero in this situation, where she’s like, ‘Oh my gosh. I helped expose Jen.’ She did not.” Baby Gorgeous added, “She was never called by them to be a witness. She was calling them to volunteer to be a witness when she didn’t get what she wanted from Jen. It’s devious.”
Does Lisa Barlow want to reconnect with Jen Shah?
Next, Lisa was asked if she could ever see Jen returning to RHOSLC with her snowflake. “I mean … I mean, anything can happen,” she said with a laugh. “Like anything can happen. I mean, I feel like she did so much damage, it would be a liability. But, I mean, I’m not the one that makes those decisions. She did tell me and Meredith [Marks] that she would love to reconnect with us when she is out of prison.”
So, would Lisa be up for a reunion with Jen? “I mean, I’m open to anything. But, I mean, Jen’s paying for her crimes,” Lisa said. However, Lisa did note that her release time is being shaved down. “They keep taking off time,” she commented. Of course, Lisa previously commented, “But you know, Jen’s crazy, but she’s harmless at the end of the day unless you’re elderly.” Oof.
I don’t see a day that Bravo will let Jen return years from now when she is released. But I could see Lisa, Jen, and Meredith having some type of relationship off-camera.
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
