The highly anticipated premiere of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 5 took place on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. The Bravo series welcomed back familiar faces including Lisa Barlow, Heather Gay, Angie Katsanevas, Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, and Mary Cosby, while also introducing Browyn Neport as a new full-time cast member.
This season kicked off with an explosive event, Lisa Barlow’s Besos party, where tensions flared between Lisa and Whitney over Whitney’s comments during her appearance on The Viall Files podcast. Whitney had claimed that Lisa had “always been the villain”and was more interested in being “right”than anything else.
The confrontation in episode 1 escalated dramatically, culminating in Lisa smashing a glass on the floor and demanding Whitney leave. Fans took to social media to voice their opinions on the heated exchange. Responses were mixed, with some supporting Lisa while others stood by Whitney. One user on X remarked:
“Says every liar ever…but #itsalot #RHOSLC Lisa currently twisting it back on Whitney is classic narcissistic behavior. So insane.”
Another fan chimed in: “Love Whitney. ‘F*** you Lisa Barlow.’ LOOOOVE IT,”a fan commented.
“Whitney has got me in stitches. ‘You wanna meet the healed Whitney? F*ck you Lisa Barlow.’ How f*cking FUNNY,”stated another tweet.
Supporters of Lisa argued:
“Whitney called her a villain. She didn’t give her ‘experience’; she made a statement about Lisa. Whitney’s healing journey is BS; you don’t run your mouth negatively when you’re supposedly on a positive healing journey. She clearly hasn’t had trauma-informed care,”one person wrote.
“Lisa threw the season premiere group event (that was strong enough to sustain an entire episode), brought on a great newbie, orchestrated a Whitney takedown…she even threw a drink. Baby Gorgeous said season 5 will top last year, ok!”a fan commented.
“Just finished the premiere and these are my main girls for a reason, that was a 10/10. I have a confession: Lisa kinda gagged me! The way she immediately clocked Angie K for talking behind her back, clowned Whitney for her ‘healing journey,’ and threw that glass!? Whew,”a tweet read.
Further commentary from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 5 fans included:
“Lisa was doing way too much, but Whitney was just waiting for an opportunity to claim being a victim. No one was weaponizing her trauma against her, but ok. She is always spinning…”a person wrote.
“Everyone ganging up on Whitney like a bunch of hyenas… Lisa knew by inviting Whitney to her party she could lash out and make her narcissistic egotistical self feel better,”a fan commented.
Whitney and Lisa Clash in The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Episode 1
In the premiere episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 5, titled “Costume or Couture?“, Whitney confronted Lisa about her remarks concerning Whitney’s appearance on The Viall Files. When asked what Lisa’s issue was, Lisa responded that Whitney’s podcast appearance seemed more focused on Lisa than on herself.
Whitney labeled Lisa as “self-absorbed”and pointed out that this was the reason Lisa felt offended.
“I think when you learn how to take care of yourself, you understand that people who love themselves take care of themselves; that’s part of self-love. With your healing journey, you’d think you’d know that by now,”Lisa replied.
Lisa pressed Whitney to apologize, to which Whitney retorted she needed clarification on what offended Lisa. According to Lisa, if Whitney was going to lie about her, she should be prepared for a truthful response. Whitney denied being a liar as Lisa accused her of going on a podcast and “bashing”her.
Lisa continued, alleging that Whitney had lied to “disparage”her character, while Whitney argued that Lisa was merely upset because she hadn’t spoken positively about her. During a confessional, Whitney referred to Lisa as a “narcissist.”
The fight intensified, leading to a shouting match between the two. In a fit of rage, Lisa shattered a glass on the floor. As the argument drew to a close, Whitney found herself in disagreements with other cast members before storming out.
Fans of the Bravo franchise expressed their thoughts on social media, clearly drawn into the drama and divided in their allegiances.
Stay tuned for more drama, as new episodes of RHOSLC season 5 will air weekly on Wednesdays on Bravo.
