Lisa Barlow and Bronwyn Newport got into a shouting match on Wednesday night’s new episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City after Lisa called Heather Gay amid Bronwyn and husband Todd Bradley‘s 10-year anniversary trip to Palm Springs.
After Bronwyn, 39, decided to leave Heather, 50, out of the trip due to the ongoing tension between them, Lisa, 49, caused such a stir by FaceTiming their castmate that she and her husband, John Barlow, were ultimately threatened by Todd, 65.
“Has anyone talked to Heather? I feel kind of sad that she’s not here. I feel bad for her. I feel really bad,” Lisa admitted on the November 7 episode of RHOSLC.
“I wish she were here,” agreed Meredith Marks, 52.
Then, after Whitney Rose, 38, said that Bronwyn had tried to apologize and repair her relationship with Heather, Lisa suggested she’d heard differently from Heather.
“I think it was a little more complicated,” she noted.
“I don’t think it’s that complicated,” Whitney replied. “I think Bronwyn invited her over to work it out to get her here. I know Bronwyn wanted her here.”
Because she felt the group was missing Heather, Lisa decided to call her, which Angie Katsanevas, 50, thought was a “dumb” move.
“I do miss Heather but I’m not dumb enough to pick up the phone and call her on a trip that Bronwyn is hostessing,” Angie said in a confessional. “It’s a double standard. If you had called Lisa’s mortal enemy, you’d be in the pool right now.”
As Lisa chatted with Heather, Bronwyn returned from a bathroom break and asked Whitney, “Why are we doing this right now?”
“I’m furious when I find out she’s on the phone with Heather. Like, up until this point, I’ve been like, ‘Maybe I did something wrong. Maybe I said something meaner than I remember.’ Maybe Lisa and I are in a weird place.’ No, this b*tch is dead-a** wrong,” Bronwyn continued in a confessional.
She then pointed out that it was “a little weird” that Lisa and the cast had called Heather as soon as she got up to go to the bathroom.
“We’re just telling her we miss her. I think we all miss her and wish things went better with you guys,” Lisa explained.
“It feels a little shady to call her and be like ‘We miss you,’” Bronwyn responded. “You and I have a long relationship, Lisa, and I don’t just listen when people talk poorly about you. I don’t.”
After Lisa denied that Heather had talked poorly about Bronwyn, saying she was just explaining her side of the story and how she felt about the situation, Bronwyn shaded Lisa for failing to be a good friend.
“I don’t hear a lot of words coming out of your mouth and that does kind of bother me because these two and a lot of other people can attest that words actually do come out of my mouth when somebody speaks about you,” she stated. “You don’t have to defend me, but when you don’t defend me and then you tell me, ‘This is Heather’s feelings. This is Heather’s feeling.’ And then the second I have to take a leak, you call Heather.”
As things began to get heated between them, Lisa attempted to calm Bronwyn down, telling her, “I am your friend. [But] I did listen to Heather’s perspective.”
“It’s a little weird that Heather’s allowed to tell you two how she feels about me and that’s totally cool and you guys have to listen but I’m not allowed to tell anybody how I feel,” Bronwyn fired back. “Listen to the difference. Heather is sh*t-talking me while I’m trying to f*cking fix it and everybody thinks Heather’s the one that’s missed? Figure it out, Lisa!”
Then, when Lisa told Bronwyn that she and Heather needed to work things out between the two of them, Bronwyn called out her double standard.
“You’re telling me that when she says something about you, I should call and check on you but when Heather and I have an argument, I’m supposed to work it out with Heather. When it’s me and somebody else, it’s my responsibility to work it out. But when it’s you and somebody else, my a** better ride your d*ck like it’s my job,” she argued.
Following the dispute, Bronwyn retreated back inside, where Todd informed her that he was getting to a place of not wanting to be around the group.
“I’m not sitting through this all weekend. This is bullsh*t,” he told his wife.
Todd then went back outside to speak with John.
“This is getting out of control. Lisa and Bronwyn, all the bullsh*t. I told Bronwyn I wasn’t coming to spend the weekend here to sit through a bunch of arguments. So it’s gotta stop. Lisa’s gotta stop. Or you guys gotta go,” he explained.
Right away, John went to find Lisa to share what Todd had said.
“He just said … ‘If it can’t be settled out, then he wants us to go,’” John stated.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season five airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
