Meredith Marks Reacts to Lisa Barlow's Hot Mic Moment
The RHOSLC cast member addressed the claims made during the Zion trip on WWHL.
When drama broke out during the ladies' Cinco de Mayo dinner in the January 30 episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Lisa Barlow wasn't feeling supported by longtime friend Meredith Marks.
"This is so upsetting to me, because you turn a blind eye to the way everybody treats me," Lisa expressed in an interview during the episode, later adding, "You don't have to speak for me; just have my back."
Lisa eventually decided to get up from the table and exit the dinner. "I'm leaving. What Meredith just did is so f--ked up," an emotional Lisa could be heard saying as she walked back inside the house. "I am f--king done."
The episode ended with a rather intense moment as a hot mic picked up Lisa making some claims about Meredith, her family, and her home behind a closed door.
Meredith gave her reaction to Lisa's hot mic moment during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on January 30 (clip above), sharing that she "did not know about it at the time."
Host Andy Cohen then asked Meredith what she thinks she "did to trigger that reaction" from Lisa. "So, it's interesting. I'm trying to still decipher that," Meredith said, before adding what she said Lisa had told her about what inspired her comments.
When asked if Meredith had "any idea Lisa had any of these feelings about you before seeing that," the Salt Lake City Housewife said that there were "certain clues." However, Lisa's comments were "far beyond anything I could've ever imagined," according to Meredith, who added, "It's just, like, incomprehensible."
After Meredith more specifically addressed the claims made by Lisa in that hot mic moment, which you can view, above, Andy noted what we can expect from the RHOSLC ladies when the subject comes up at the upcoming Season 2 reunion. "I should point out, you saw this episode the day before we shot the reunion. So just for all you watching at home, you will see basically a very raw reaction from you as you enter the reunion," Andy said of Meredith. "And then you and Lisa sat down together for the first time since you saw the footage. So, there you go. That's what happens at the reunion."
During Lisa's appearance on WWHL on January 23, which took place after the RHOSLC Season 2 reunion taping, she speculated that this hot mic moment was the reason why Meredith deleted her birthday tribute post to Lisa. "I'm sure it's based on the next episode," Lisa said as to why the December 14 post is no longer on Meredith's Instagram (clip below). "I have a little rant that I'm not proud of, but I hit my boiling point."
It looked like Lisa had only just learned that Meredith deleted the post during the WWHL After Show. "It's her profile," Lisa initially responded to the news. "She can do whatever she wants with it."
Lisa also shared at the time that her birthday tribute to Meredith on December 15 was still up, and we can confirm that it remains on her Instagram as of the time of this writing.
