Lisa Barlow has reacted to the news that Monica Garcia has been dropped from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City after her explosive season 4 debut.
Monica was exposed as the owner of Instagram troll account Reality Von Tease which targeted the other women.
“It wasn’t a shock, but it was also something we didn’t know,” Lisa said to HollywoodLife. “Bravo doesn’t call us and say, ‘Hey guess what, Monica isn’t coming back.’ You find out by who shows up for things. I wasn’t shocked by it.”
“We all are given an opportunity and it’s what we do with that opportunity that creates longevity in a situation,” Lisa continued. “I think the way Monica went into this… it was like deceit, and then she was caught, so she had to come clean because there were proof, receipts, timelines. I’m not really surprised.”
While Monica is off the show, Lisa, Heather Gay, Whitney Rose, Meredith Marks, and Angie Katsanevas will all be returning for season 5. Producers say that Monica is on a “cooling down” period and may return at some point.
