The drama surrounding The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City never seems to end, and as the highly anticipated Season 5 reunion continues to unfold, Lisa Barlow is making waves with some bold opinions about the show’s future. In a recent interview with DailyMail.com, the 50-year-old reality star shared her thoughts on which cast member she hopes won’t be returning for Season 6, and it’s none other than Whitney Rose.
During the interview, Lisa Barlow didn’t mince words when asked about the upcoming season. Although she emphasized that the decision isn’t up to her, she admitted she wouldn’t have brought Whitney Rose back for either Season 5 or this current season.
“I wouldn’t have asked Whitney back last year or this year,” Lisa bluntly stated. “Her storyline this whole year was lie, lie, lie. Like, I don’t give a s**t about your business.”
A Shift in Lisa’s Feelings Toward Whitney
While Lisa acknowledged that she once had a “soft spot” for Whitney, particularly after the Season 4 reunion, her opinion has since changed. She explained that the ongoing drama and accusations involving Whitney’s behavior left her feeling exhausted.
“I’ve always had a soft spot for Whitney, just because she’s always been the youngest on the cast, and I think we always all felt bad for it,” Lisa Barlow reflected. “But it gets old with the lies. And when you’re lying about somebody, you’re perpetuating lies and saying, ‘That’s their behavior.’ Well, Whitney should look at her behavior.”
Lisa’s frustration with Whitney’s alleged dishonesty and her overall conduct this season was palpable, leaving fans wondering whether their relationship is beyond repair.
Lisa Defends Her Place in the Spotlight
While Whitney isn’t the only one who’s come for Lisa this season, she made sure to stand firm in defending her own reputation. Throughout Season 5, Lisa has been at the center of multiple explosive arguments, particularly with Whitney and newcomer Bronwyn Newport, whom she introduced to the group.
“I have a strong personality. I know who I am. I don’t do anything that I’m accused of doing,” Lisa said in her interview. “They always want to put down my business. Well, no one else has what I have. No one else has built something that can sell for hundreds of millions of dollars, like, they haven’t done that yet.”
For Lisa, her business success and self-made achievements set her apart from the other ladies on the show, and she believes her co-stars find it difficult to relate to her accomplishments. “I feel like, because I came on the show self-made, and like, 10 steps ahead of some of the girls, I think it’s hard for them,” she explained.
Looking Toward the Future: Lisa’s Billion-Dollar Brand
Despite the constant drama and conflicts with her co-stars, Lisa remains focused on her future. She expressed hopes that next season will showcase more of her entrepreneurial journey as she continues to build her “billion-dollar brand”—an ambition she believes fans don’t fully understand yet.
“I’m very capable of building things,” Lisa emphasized. “People don’t understand my true work ethic.”
