On Wednesday’s episode of RHOSLC, Whitney Rose slams “vindictive” Lisa Barlow after finding out she started rumors about her jewelry brand.
On the October 15 episode of The Real Housewives of Salt City the conversation and drama surrounding Whitney Rose’s Prism jewelry line continued.
Whitney revealed that she got a all the hotel following the RHOSLC cast’s trip to Milwaukee saying that one of her brand’s necklaces was left behind.
“It was Lisa Barlow’s,” she said after a clip showed that the necklace was in Lisa Barlow’s room. “Here’s the thing: I was going hard for Meredith [Marks] that night, why are you going for my business?”
Heather Gay then dropped the bomb that Meredith wasn’t the one who started the narrative that Whitney’s jewelry brand was from the Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba. Instead, Heather claims it was Lisa who first made the claims.
“Lisa told Meredith, Meredith told me, I told you,” Heather confessed. “But it’s more than the business stuff. It feels like you’re taking it really personally.”
“Because it is personal,” Whitney said. “This is my business, my brand. It’s not just something that popped up.”
Whitney then began to speculate where Lisa’s anger came from since she didn’t bring home the gifted necklace and was the one who started the gossip about Prism.
“After I got that call from Charles at the Kinn, I started thinking, ‘Lisa is vindictive,’” Whitney admitted in her RHOSLC confessional. “She must still be mad at me about that podcast because why else would she toss the necklace I gifted her into the trash?”
The 38-year-old then admitted that she “got it wrong” when lashing out at Meredith and is pissed that Lisa allowed Meredith to take the blame.
Later on in the RHOSLC episode, Whitney attempted to find proof that Lisa was leaking rumors about her brand to social media gossip pages.
“Adam is a casual friend of mine who is also a podcaster, and he is friends with the person that runs the account that posted that Prism’s jewelry comes from Alibaba,” she said. “So I asked Adam to reach out to the account to see if he could find out who fed the story because I have my suspicions but I need the proof.”
“It is someone who you’re close to who is putting this information out,” Adam told Whitney over the phone, he then revealed that the account confirmed that the person in the RHOSLC group who has a liquor brand was leaking the gossip.
“On one hand it’s validating, but at the same time, I really didn’t want it to be true because it means that I have a friendship that was potentially never really real in the first place,” Whitney said.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
