RHOSLC Season 5 Trailer Teases an Avalanche of Drama

On Wednesday’s episode of RHOSLC, Whitney Rose takes a stand after being “steamrolled” by her co-stars and demands they “stop weaponizing my trauma.”

Whitney Rose and Lisa Barlow’s feud heats up on this week’s episode of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City with co-star Heather Gay getting involved! 

On the September 25 episode of RHOSLC, the cast continues to discuss the drama between Whitney and Lisa and whose side they are on. If you recall, the two RHOSLC co-stars got into a spat during last week’s premiere episode over Whitney calling Lisa the true “villain” of the franchise on a podcast appearance. 

While driving to lunch, newbie Bronwyn Newport told Lisa and Heather stirred the pot by telling them something completely different than what she had communicated to Whitney. 

“On our drive with Lisa, you were team f—ing Lisa and you were saying horrible things about Whitney,” Heather recalled, while calling out Bronwyn. “And that made me feel like you were being two-faced to Lisa and me and two-faced to Whitney.”

“What did she say about me?” Whitney asked, to which Heather responded: “Talking about when you said, ‘This is healed Whitney,’ [Bronwyn] said she had tears of laughter crying from [her] eyes.”

The RHOSLC newbie admitted she said that but insisted she already had told Whitney the same thing.

“Truly if that’s all Bronwyn said, she’s admitted it to my face,” Whitney said in her season 5 confessional. “I really don’t think Heather’s energy matches what actually happened.”

Whitney explained to Heather, “The way that you’re saying it is really messy and confusing,”insinuating her cousin was trying to stir the pot and create more drama among the women. 

However, Heather defended her actions. 

“When you said to me, ‘Bronwyn met with me and she was totally supportive,’ I said, ‘Really? That surprises me because of the lunch we went to,’” she explained. “I left that car feeling like everything [Bronwyn] said was a little bit poisonous — especially about Whitney.”

Bronwyn then wondered why Heather was so adamant about her being two-faced, insisting that what she tells her friends in private shouldn’t  be “used against me” in public. She pointed out that no one in the car called out her comments in the moment so they shouldn’t be throwing her under the bus now in an effort to look superior. 

“At a basic human level, if someone is being vulnerable with you and telling you about their trauma, do not weaponize it against them,”Whitney noted. “As a group of friends, we need to be better about that.”

“Y’all steamrolled me!” she added, referring to her drama with Lisa. 

“We did not steamroll you,” Lisa fired back. “We are not gonna use the word steamrolling because you know what steamrolling is? Going on a podcast and talking about your f—ing friends when they cannot defend themselves. I did nothing to you.”

Whitney maintained that she never meant to hurt Lisa but added that there’s “a reason to say those things and feel this way.”

“All you do is talk in feelings,” Lisa replied. “Talk in facts and then we can have a good conversation.”

Whitney then interjected: “You’ve been a s—ty friend!”

“You’re a s—ty friend,” Lisa said. Meredith Marks couldn’t help but agree, adding, “You take out things on me that have nothing to do with me.”

“I’m sorry that I talked about you on the podcast,” Whitney conceded before she and Lisa made amends. 

 The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

This article is as confusing as Whitless. She went from being Morom to being a Moron.

whose idea was it for each of them to bring a friend to every group taping, well except Mary, doubt she has friends. this seems to have caused them each to try harder at the acting skill none of them possess making it even more difficult to watch. Bronwyn trying not to act like the gold digger she obviously is, deserves the Emmy.

I love SLC, but Witless's non-stop psychobabble is wearing thin, and this year they're all doing it. I feel like as a viewer, my feelings are not being validated, and I don't watch these shows to have my safe space violated. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d8360d49e8876606a026724c716f9bf0f267af78cc67d7e79424c138756a18ce.jpg

They’re weaponizing your safe spaces against you, Niggy, which if you allow it will ultimately stunt your psychological and spiritual growth. It’s their passive aggressive coping mechanism to deal with their very real and deeply repressed envy concerning the successful exploration of your own vulnerability. ? https://media4.giphy.com/media/1tHzw9PZCB3gY/giphy-downsized-small.mp4

I do not want to see Bronwyn's home life again. That was 7 minutes I can never get back. I am more interested in Britani's personally messy life. I really loved Britani this episode.

I’m not enjoying Bronwyn thus far. I find her…performative in a rather unsettling sort of way…? Maybe it will translate somehow to entertaining at some later point, but for now? Borderline disturbing. IJS. ????
ontoiran September 26, 2024 - 5:57 pm
Yeah, I think we get it. she married for money, has an unlimited allowance and strange taste in just about everything.
Squirrellie October 1, 2024 - 10:33 am
Angie with that scroll, she is completely performative.
HermanL22 September 26, 2024 - 2:00 pm
My question is...who ever guessed there would be 2 Bronwyns in the world????
Champagne Hangover September 26, 2024 - 3:26 pm
One was already too much…?
HermanL22 September 26, 2024 - 9:39 am
I truly, in my heart of hearts, believe Whitney is a liar. She is Tamra2.0. She continually tries to drum up drama and storylines to stay relevant. And if I hear "weaponizing my trauma" one more time...
Ryan September 26, 2024 - 9:52 am
Tamra is a truth teller. anyone saying otherwise is just a hating troll.

Champagne Hangover September 26, 2024 - 1:41 pm
She’s a teller of OTHER people’s truths when it suits her, but her own truths? Not so much…?
HermanL22 September 26, 2024 - 2:03 pm
^^This is it right here!!^^ Cool if you want to tell the truth, but is it yours to tell? And why is it that her truth telling always feels so hurtful??
Champagne Hangover September 26, 2024 - 3:14 pm
Exactly! Discernment, tact and diplomacy are entirely missing with this one. Don’t even get me started on mercy and self awareness. The Bible is quite clear about wisdom and holding one’s peace as well as bridling one’s tongue. So no, we do NOT always get a pass spewing every so called truth that enters our minds ESPECIALLY if one thinks SHE should be exempt from the same treatment (e.g., her daughter). Sometimes the wisest thing to say is nothing at all. ??
EL September 26, 2024 - 4:20 pm
You are so correct! Nicely said! ????????
AnEnigmaWrappedInSnark September 26, 2024 - 5:05 pm
You make a good point as well.
HermanL22 September 26, 2024 - 2:05 pm
Is this Tamra's son?? Goodness...you are hardcore! It's okay for people to have opinions, and while mine used to be pretty high of Tamra's, she has gone and changed that over the years.
EL September 26, 2024 - 2:22 pm
I am with you on 2 things, Ryan’s reaction above was pretty extreme, guess I’m a troll too, and also, my feelings of Tamra mirror yours.
Ryan September 26, 2024 - 2:25 pm
It's not extreme "Thats My OPINION" :-)
AnEnigmaWrappedInSnark September 26, 2024 - 5:04 pm
I see what you did there ... well played:-)
Zap It September 26, 2024 - 10:42 am
Yeah, but Whitney is good looking so I don't think she's going anywhere. I do feel sorry for her husband.
Squirrellie October 1, 2024 - 10:33 am
She is just another blond to me.
