But I don't think we missed her in the sense of toxicity — like we were able to all bond in a different way and get to know each other on a deeper level, and that was nice. And I don't know if that's Jen or if it's just season four,  the dynamics of it."*** ![RHOSLC stars Lisa Barlow, Monica Garcia, Meredith Marks, Heather Gay, Whitney Rose, Angie Katsanevas](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/RHOSLC-season-4-cast-photo.jpg)RHOSLC stars Lisa Barlow, Monica Garcia, Meredith Marks, Heather Gay, Whitney Rose, Angie Katsanevas Tamra Judge noted that Jen Shah was ***“a good character on the show”*** and ***“entertaining.” *** ***“She brought it for sure,”*** Whitney said in agreement. ***“And I think a lot of people are nervous about not having Jen, but we brought it.
