According to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Lisa Barlow, things are feeling extra frosty in Salt Lake City.
“I don’t get to have a good experience like they do because I’ve never done that to them,” Lisa, 50, exclusively told Us Weekly at BravoCon on Friday, November 14, referring to many of her costars’ season 6 claims that she has spread gossip about them. “So imagine somebody who helps bring the show here, me, and then you just keep trying to ruin their experience with lies.”
She added, “What are they gaining from it? Like, ‘Oh, I have another bad season. Is that all you want? You get to have a story line?’ It’s honestly been really, really awful to wake up every day to hate because they lie. It’s not cool.”
Lisa further claimed that some of her costars — save for BFF Meredith Marks — had been attempting “ice [her] out” of the friend group.
“I think the intention this year was [for] the ones that always cry the most about, ‘You’re just trying to ice me out’ are the ones that try and do it to others,” Lisa told Us at the three-day convention held in Las Vegas. “It’s an ensemble cast, we all are unique and individuals, [which is] what makes it work. When you try to ice somebody out, you’re not going to gain [anything and] you’re going to get somebody else. That’s probably worse, and it’s, like, we’ve been there, tried that. Why would you do this to me?”
She continued, “I think they tried to isolate me and then Meredith, and it’s been really, really hard to look at some of the girls and say, ‘Why would I ever keep giving you what I’ve given you? You just lie all the time.’ I’m a good friend, [and] that’s why they all want to be my friend.”
Lisa claimed that she’s a loyal type of friend who can easily maintain bonds with her pals from kindergarten, middle school, college and beyond.
“I’m a loyal friend, that’s why they all try to be my friend,” she said. “The fact that they’re like, ‘We’re going to have a great experience, and it’s going to be at the cost of hurting you.’ It’s ridiculous and gross and hurtful. I have feelings too. I’m strong, but I also have feelings too, and I’ve never been in a situation in my life like this.”
Lisa — who stars on RHOSLC alongside Meredith, 53, Heather Gay, Whitney Rose, Mary Cosby, Angie Katsanevas and Bronwyn Newport — has since been overwhelmed by the constant drama.
“The fact that a small group of girls has taken it upon themselves to try and denigrate my character, my name, my businesses, my face, my ankles?” the Vida Tequila founder added. “It’s too much.”
While Lisa is over the bad blood, she is still willing to mend fences with any of the other women down the line.
“I genuinely have love for each and every one of them in different ways,” Lisa said. “In a friend group, you each fulfill each other differently. I think with Heather, she just broke so much trust [with] her and Angie, like what they did with the whole anecdote on the boat [about Bronwyn’s husband, Todd Bradley]. That was a one-on-one conversation, off camera. I’ve never brought it up on camera.”
During the cast’s season 6 girls trip on the Below Deck Down Under charter, Heather, 49, and Angie, 51, claimed that Lisa told them gossip about Bronwyn’s husband — just one of the stories that Lisa was accused of planting about her fellow Housewives.
“It was devastating and so hurtful,” she told Us, once again denying the accusations. “I don’t even like to talk about it. It was so horrible. I feel like, especially with Heather, I’ve been so supportive, and I never went backwards. Like, with Mary, I don’t go backwards, with Heather, I don’t go backwards with Whitney. I try not to go backwards until the same thing happens again. So to have Heather do that, it was so devastating, and it’s such a character assassination.”
Heather, Whitney, 39, and Britani Bateman, in a joint interview with Us elsewhere at BravoCon, shot down Lisa’s claims.
“I don’t think any of us want to assassinate Lisa’s character,” Heather said on Friday. “I think we just want to talk openly about, you know, things that are going on in our friend group. I don’t think she was iced out.”
Whitney, meanwhile, believes that they “welcomed her with more open arms than [they] ever have.”
“It’s just [that] we really held her accountable to her truth,” Whitney stated.
