Monica Garcia, Sutton Stracke and Lisa Barlow Bravo
It’s getting extra frosty in the SLC, as Monica Garcia was not pleased with how her former Real Housewives of Salt Lake City costar Lisa Barlow spoke about her with fellow Bravo star Sutton Stracke.
“The level of absolute FILTH this video has me completely astounded. ‘She looks like she works at a nail salon,’ @suttonstracke I am shocked,” Monica, 39, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, November 3. “Shocked that you would say something like this, especially since we’ve met a couple times and had such nice conversations and I’ve always said how kind you were to me.”
She added, “I am SHOCKED at this conversation as a whole, but to also say ‘Why would you be scared of Jen [Shah]??’ You women are out of control and this is nasty for so many reasons. Also, I haven’t gone to that nail girl since she started doing Angie [Katsanevas] back at the beginning of season 4. Once again with your lies, Lisa. Absolute TRASH.”
Sutton, 53, and Lisa, 49, were paired for a joint interview with MTV UK late last month during Hayu FanFest. The two Bravolebrities were playing a game called “Who Even Am I?” and had to present each other clues about other reality TV stars.
Fred Hayes/Bravo Monica Garcia is making it clear that she did not voluntarily decide to leave The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City after one season. “That would be a cast and Bravo decision. It would not have been my decision,” Monica, 40, told The Cut in a profile published on Wednesday, January 24, when […]
Upon seeing a Monica card, Sutton was flummoxed.
“I’m scared of her!” Sutton, a fan-favorite on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, quipped. “Like, I would be scared if she came on my cast. I kinda don’t want to look at her face. … You should be scared of her!”
Lisa then theorized the answer was Jen, 51, before correctly guessing Monica.
“I feel like she works at a nail salon, there’s something about her,” Sutton added before Lisa concurred.
According to Lisa, Monica “gets all her tea” from other women at a nail salon. (Monica infamously ran an anonymous Instagram account, called Reality von Tease, dedicated to trolling the RHOSLC ladies for several years before she was cast as a Housewife.)
Nothing was what it seemed for the women of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City — and they are still reeling after that finale bombshell. During the Bravo show’s season 4 finale on Tuesday, January 2, Heather Gay received information about newcomer Monica Garcia that changed the trajectory of the women’s Bermuda trip. “Monica is […]
“She does like everybody on my cast’s nails and she’s a gossip,” Lisa added, referring to her unnamed manicurist. “She tells everybody everything.”
Neither Sutton nor Lisa have publicly responded to Monica’s claims.
Monica was let go from RHOSLC after season 4, which was her only year on the Bravo franchise, and she’d only return for one reason.
“Housewives is all about bridges and mending relationships and seeing the other side of things, but [with] how things played out, I don’t know how they do it as long as certain other cast members are there,” Monica exclusively told Us Weekly last month. “So I could see myself coming back if, maybe, there was a cast shake-up.”
