Both were amazing,*” Barlow told [Decider.](https://decider.com/2025/09/17/rhoslc-lisa-barlow-interview/) Still, despite being miles away, Barlow’s name dominated the conversation among her co-stars — especially Bronwyn Newport. ### “Wait, why are they talking about me?” Barlow admitted she was shocked to be the subject of so much chatter without being there to defend herself. > "*It was weird. I was so surprised. I got one phone call... I was like, ‘Wait, why are they talking about me? This is so weird.’ They didn’t show it. But I got a call and I guess they were like, ‘Britani’s defending you.’ And I was like, ‘Great. That’s amazing. Thank you.’*" While some speculated that Lisa was avoiding Bronwyn or even holding out on her contract, she set the record straight: > "*No. I saw that online and I know what I can negotiate and what I can’t negotiate, and that’s something I know I can’t. I was working. I’ve always been someone that works since Season 1.*" ![Bronwyn Newport](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot-2024-11-14-085748.png) ### Bronwyn's $4 Million Lie — And Lisa's Receipts The real bombshell in the premiere wasn’t just Lisa’s absence — it was **Bronwyn’s admission that she lied** about buying a $4 million necklace. Barlow, who brought **receipts** to last season’s reunion to debunk the claim, didn’t hold back. > "*I don’t think that’s true. I think she stole a play from Monica’s playbook – when Monica actually bought the Louis Vuitton bag and then said she was doing it to fit in.*" She called Bronwyn’s confession a “cop out,” especially given the performative nature of it all: > "*If Bronwyn wants to go with that narrative, she can explain her Instagram and plethora of other things on how she’s trying to impress not just us, but everybody.*" And the part that really hit a nerve? Lisa had introduced Bronwyn to the jeweler. > "*The big thing there was I introduced her to the jeweler. So when she put the jeweler in the precarious situation she did, the jeweler came to me and was like, ‘What do I do? I don’t want to affect your relationship with Bronwyn.’ She was literally kid-gloving this situation. So, I thought it was nasty what she did to the jeweler, too, which is an amazing jeweler.*" Barlow didn’t mince words about what Bronwyn should’ve said instead: > "*I think it would have been better if she just said, ‘I lied to Andy Cohen’s face, your face, [and] Nick Viall on Viall Files when I said it’s a dick-measuring competition to say I bought the necklace.’*" ### “I’ve never had that before... someone defending me.” Despite being off-camera, Lisa had unexpected support from new cast member Britani, who stood up for her when accusations were flying. > "*I get Britani and I do think she was being a great friend. I’ve never had that before, so that felt amazing... I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is what it feels like to be defended. I love this.’*" Lisa also shouted out Heather Gay and Meredith Marks for their quiet but meaningful support: > "*Heather and I worked really hard on our friendship… it was so cool to watch Heather have my back, too. And Meredith too… even if she’s quiet, I know she’s got me.*" ### The Jen Shah Comparison? “Even beneath me.” At one point, Angie K compared Lisa to disgraced former cast member Jen Shah — and Bronwyn co-signed the sentiment by reminding everyone that Lisa once made the same comparison *about* Bronwyn. But Barlow wasn’t having it: > "*The comment about me being like Jen Shah was even beneath me. I wouldn’t even comment on that. Me calling Bronwyn that, it was just the deviousness. It was the lies that I was referring to... Bronwyn was being shady and I felt like I’ve seen that behavior before. That’s my comparison. I mean, she flat out lied. Like, multiple times.*" ### Lisa Barlow may have been missing from the RV, but her presence, and receipts, loomed large. While Bronwyn scrambles to spin her $4 million necklace lie, Lisa’s keeping it moving, with business deals, tequila, and premieres. If there’s one thing that’s clear from this mess, it’s that *Lisa doesn’t need to be in the room to run the show.*
