It didn't take long for the drama to start during Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. In fact, things kicked off almost immediately, with Lisa Barlow saying "I'll be your villain!" to Whitney Rose at the Vida Tequila founder's Besos party in the premiere episode. We're Bravo. Of course we're going to put that quote on merch! "I'll be your villain" products are officially here, and you can shop for them below.
But first, a little context. After all, a lot has happened since. Not long before RHOSLC Season 5 filming resumed, Whitney appeared on a podcast in February 2024, during which she suggested that Lisa had "always" been the "villain" of their group.
In a flashback to the week before the party, Lisa described the claim as "rude," and was hesitant to extend an invite to Whitney as a result.
Lisa ultimately chose to invite Whitney, but she did quip in her welcome address to her Galentine's Day guests that she didn't "love" the remark. Instead, tensions escalated at the Besos dinner, which led nearly everyone to heat up more quickly than a Park City party venue heat lamp. When asked about her comment during the Besos dinner, Whitney stood by it. This seemed to further offend Lisa; if the hostess was expecting an apology, she certainly didn't receive one.
"If you want me to be your villain, I'll be your villain, bitch," she declared, "Like, game on."
RHOSLC fans who have been looking for a way to honor that newly minted moment of icon behavior, you're in luck: Multiple ways to rock the quote on merch can be found below.

You know what this villain crewneck would look great with? A full face of glam, or perhaps some massive shield sunglasses.
It comes in pink, too, by the way.
If you'd like to decorate a water bottle, your laptop, or really any surface that could be used to show your RHOSLC obsession, you're going to want this holographic sticker.
Maybe you're an avid sticker collector. If so, you need this sticker sheet, filled with little inside jokes only RHOSLC fans would get.
Also, just to put a trendy hair bow on the dinner: The PRISM jewelry designer was also experiencing tension with fellow cast member, Meredith Marks, who felt that Whitney had been impinging on her brand by selling bath bombs. (It wouldn't be an episode of RHOSLC if someone didn't talk about Meredith's love of baths.) Heather Gay and Angie Katsanevas got involved as well. Will it lead to Angie's Scroll 2.0? We can only hope.
Additionally, we were introduced to new cast member Bronwyn Newport, who immediately hit it off (to her own surprise!) with the one and only Mary Cosby. Friends of the group Meili Workman and Britani Bateman got their first taste of RHOSLC drama as well. Besos!
RHOSLC airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.
