Whitney Rose Calls out John Barlow’s “Bold-Faced Lie” About Lisa Barlow (EXCLUSIVE)
See how Whitney Rose, Mary Cosby, and more of the RHOSLC cast really felt about Lisa Barlow's husband's defense of her.
Whitney Rose was not happy when John Barlow claimed that Lisa Barlow has "never lied" about any of her castmates who attended Bronwyn Newport's Palm Springs getaway on Season 5, Episode 9 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
She revealed as much on the subsequent episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City After Show.
"That's a bold-faced lie from John right there, because he knows that Lisa has lied about people at the table," Whitney recalled of John's claim, which came during a group luncheon on the trip. "To us, about us."
Mary Cosby agreed with Whitney, but in a much more humorous way. "Oh goodness — they're about to break up. Because they don't even know each other," Mary said upon hearing John's claim that Lisa's never lied about any of the ladies. "What's wrong with John?!"
Angie Katsanevas made another point, though: Maybe he truly believes it.
"She's said hurtful and did hurtful things to all of us," Mary replied. "And to think that her husband believes it..."
Meredith Marks defends Lisa Barlow and John Barlow
Meredith Marks, meanwhile, came to both Lisa and John's defense.
"Obviously Lisa has had her moments just like everyone else," she began. "Nobody's perfect here. We have moments of anger where we say things we don't mean."
Specifically recalling Lisa's hot mic moment that was targeted at her, Meredith said, "Having a rampage in a moment of anger is very different than sitting down and being calculated to try to spread lies about somebody. And I think that's more what John was trying to say."
Bronwyn Newport compares John Barlow to Todd Bradley
Bronwyn, for her part, found herself comparing her own husband, Todd Bradley, to John.
"I love that Lisa has someone who will defend her no matter what, and I would like sometimes for Todd to ride a little harder for me," she admitted on the RHOSLC After Show. "He does when he believes in it, which is nice, but sometimes I want the backup even when I'm wrong and I know I'm wrong.
With that, Bronwyn did acknowledge that it was a "shaky branch" that John decided to step out on in his Palm Springs defense of his wife when he said she'd "never lied before."
Lisa Barlow's reaction to John saying she's "never lied" about her castmates
Lisa was grateful to have her husband's support — especially since it didn't involve him invoking any further drama with the ladies. As she put it, "I'm glad John stepped in where he felt appropriate, but he didn't direct anything negative toward any of the women. Like, he didn't go after Whitney. He didn't go after Angie. He was just like, 'Shut it down.'"
