Lisa Barlow: Whitney Rose comes for me on 'RHOSLC' to stay 'relevant'

"Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Lisa Barlow believes her castmate Whitney Rose keeps coming for her to remain "relevant" on the Bravo reality show.

"I think she does it to be relevant. I think she thinks, 'No one's paying attention to me. I don't have anything else going on,'" Barlow, 49, tells Page Six's "Virtual Reali-Tea" podcast , adding that she finds Rose, 37, to be the "biggest liar."

"Every single season," she says, "we see her tell lies and then at the end, we see the truth."

Rose and Barlow have historically butted heads on "RHOSLC," with the latter explaining that any ounce of trust evaporated after filming Season 2 in 2021.

"Whitney brought a guy to a party Season 2 and told everyone I slept with him and I had no idea that happened until after," she recalls.

"Whitney and I get to a point [in Season 5] where I'm like, 'You constantly lie about me. You make me have to tell the truth and you don't like that. You want people to believe your lies.'"

In Wednesday's premiere, the women became combative with one another during a heated discussion that touched on Rose's assertion in a February interview with Nick Viall's "Viall Files" podcast that Barlow is the "villain" of their famous social circle.

"I have not done anything to you besides calling you a villain, which I stand by," Rose told Barlow during a dinner scene, to which the Vida Tequila founder retorted, "I will be your villain, bitch. Game on!'"

Barlow tells "Virtual Reali-Tea" that she feels "everyone has the right to say their opinions," but thinks Rose was trying to "denigrate [her] character" when speaking to Viall, 43.

"She moves the goalpost. Once you resolve an issue, there's a new issue and another new issue. And then you have a rebuttal and a rebuttal for that and then it's another issue," Barlow says, acknowledging that she has been able to resolve prior spats with Rose despite their current discord.

"I hope she heals."

"The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
