The RHOSLC season 5 premiere turned ugly as “villain,” Lisa Barlow tosses a glass and accuses co-star Whitney Rose of being a “liar.”
Season 5 of RHOSLC kicked off with a bang and a major blowup fight.
During the RHOSLC season 5 premiere on Wednesday, September 18, Lisa Barlow claimed co-star Whitney Rose “bashed me” long after filming concluded last season.
At her Valentine’s Day dinner, Lisa told Whitney she had “a problem with you and the podcast,” referencing an episode of The Viall Files podcast in which Whitney claimed Lisa wasn’t sincere in her apologies.
“She doesn’t care about anything else other than being right,” the 37-year-old told host Nick Viall. “Lisa’s always been the villain.”
Whitney Rose and Lisa Barlow butt heads while filming season 5 of RHOSLC.
Lisa accussed Whitney of only talking about her on the podcast. Whitney denied the claim, calling Lisa “self-absorbed” and saying she only listened to a small portion of the podcast.
“You’ll understand that people who love themselves take care of themselves, that’s part of self-love and with your healing journey, you’d think that you know that by now,” the 49-year-old RHOSLC OG said.
“You talked about me enough — do you want to say you’re sorry?” she questioned.
“Well, I need to know what offended you,” Whitney replied.
The Vida Tequila founder addressed Whitney’s “villain” comment: “If you’re gonna lie about me, expect me to tell the truth about myself.”
“The way that Lisa is calling me a liar over how I feel is narcissist 101,” Whitney explained in her confessional, insisting she only shared her opinion of Lisa on the podcast episode.

She then told Lisa, “I think that if I’m not kissing every part of your a–hole, I’m not a good enough friend for you.”
Lisa became more enraged at Whitney after the 37-year-old RHOSLC OG claimed that the other ladies told her Lisa was talking about the podcast episode behind her back.
Knowing she chatted with RHOSLC co-stars Heather Gay and Angie Katsanevas about her frustrations with Whitney’s podcast episode, she confronted them about which one had tattled.
“I talked about part of it,” Angie confessed.
“It’s isolating to feel like in a friendship you can’t be 100% who you are with a friend because they’re not gonna keep it in confidence,” Lisa said in her confesstions.

The women began fighting about why Angie involved herself in the drama between Whitney and Lisa.
Lisa told the group Whitney “lied about me, and you know it.”
“I had Angie’s back vehemently last year, and now I feel like she’s more loyal to Whitney than me,” Lisa confessed.
Angie defended herself, noting that Lisa couldn’t admit she was wrong. Whitney agreed, adding, “And I don’t want to be called a liar.”
This comment set Lisa off and resulted in her throwing her glass across the room.
“You f—ing said I f—ing slept with someone I didn’t sleep with,” she yelled, referring to the season 4 rumors Whitney brought up on camera about Lisa allegedly sleeping with one of her business partners for free Utah Jazz tickets.
“I have not done anything besides calling you a villain, which I stand by,” Whitney said, noting that she had previously apologized for bringing up the gossip on camera.
“You want me to be your villain, I’ll be your villain,” Lisa quipped.

When Whitney asked her RHOSLC co-stars to “name one thing I’ve lied about,” Heather Gay and Meredith Marks interjected.
“You lied about me and the book,” Heather said, while Meredith added, “You accused me of lying about my father’s memorial. That was the most hurtful thing a friend has ever done to me. You have accused Mary of running a cult and being a predator. You’ve accused everyone in our core group of having affairs.”
“Stop!” Whitney fired back. “I would love to take accountability for something that I haven’t already. They’re bringing stuff up from years ago.”
Lisa added that Whitney acts “superior” to the rest of the RHOSLC cast due to her “healing journey.” This comment prompted Whitney to walk out of the dinner, accusing Lisa of “weaponizing my trauma against me.”
“You can leave,” Lisa shouted as Whitney stormed out of the dinner party.
