Lisa Barlow is among the standout stars of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and at Bravo Fan Fest Miami, she defined why her co-stars preserve coming for her.
“It’s exhausting and I actually thought coming into the season after season [four] and every little thing that occurred in Bermuda, I assumed that we had been going to be just a little bit extra bonded,” Barlow instructed Deadline referring to the solid journey from final season. “Then, it simply began off with a bang, because it all the time does. I really feel like friendships consistently organically shift on Salt Lake, however them coming for me drives me insane as a result of they’re actually simply scouring the web [and] going to season one feedback about me. I really feel like I’m a terrific good friend to them, and if somebody can level out after they’ve been nice mates to me, I’d respect it.”
DEADLINE: On this new season, you introduced in a brand new housewife into the group, Bronwyn Newport, who you had been mates with previous to the present. Now that cameras are in entrance of you, why are you clashing?
BARLOW: It has nothing to do with the present. I feel it’s a alternative for Bronwyn to have a consummate challenge with me. And should you see, I’m by no means having a problem together with her, I defend her vehemently. I really feel like I’ve been a terrific good friend to her. There’s conditions you guys don’t even get to see. I do know I present up for her. I’ve been a terrific good friend to her. It was perplexing to me that she had so many points with me. It felt like she watched the present and was like, “Oh, if I come for Lisa, I’ll get extra air time.” That’s the way it felt.
DEADLINE: Earlier than the solid journey, you had Justin Rose dumping your tequila model (Vida Tequila) down the drain. Through the solid journey, you then had Todd, Bronwyn’s husband, saying destructive issues about Vida in a sizzling mic second. What do you make about them coming for your enterprise like that?
BARLOW: I really feel like there’s jealousy there and the truth that we personal every little thing. We don’t work for anyone else. John and I created this collectively. Our model, Vida, began earlier than we had been even married. I feel for a number of the individuals, as an alternative of being like, “They personal an incredible, award-winning, highly-regarded tequila in our house,” they’d moderately tear it down and I feel it displays on who they’re.
DEADLINE: This season, your friendship with Heather Homosexual is best, however now, your friendship with Whitney Rose has deteriorated after she shaded you on a podcast. Why do you suppose that’s?
BARLOW: Whitney stated a number of disgusting, nasty issues about me on that podcast. I used to be by no means upset in regards to the villain remark. I did message her immediately in actual time when that podcast got here out, and I stated, “Don’t use me for storyline. I’m not your storyline.” I feel she was actually upset that she was caught in a lie final 12 months from Meredith’s jewellery occasion the place she stated I didn’t hug her, I didn’t examine in on her when her good friend handed away. I felt prefer it was a really one-sided friendship. I used to be shocked, particularly as a result of we left [the Season 4 reunion] in a terrific place.
DEADLINE: Lastly, what do you concentrate on the husbands getting within the mixture of the drama?
BARLOW: John doesn’t actually wish to be within the combine. He seems at [RHOSLC] as my good friend group [and] my relationships. [The audience] didn’t see all of it [of his altercation with Justin Rose]. Justin stepped to me, John put his hand up and [that’s when] Justin stated, “Get your fucking hand off me.” That’s when the actual drama occurred. I really feel like he and Whitney got here with a plan to accuse me of doing one thing I’d by no means do.
