I shop a lot.
But Barlow is eager to assure me that Fendi had her number long before Bravo did.
I have a great internet and I was invited to go, she says.
People are like, Oh, [you were invited] because you’re a Housewife.
I’m like, No, that would probably deter me from coming.
The thing that attracts people to any Housewife is authenticity.
She only eats fast food.
She calls people baby gorgeous.
She’s almost like a cartoon villain, but you also kind of love her.
She’s kind of an outsider, but she’s a bitch.
But she’s also nice!
I’m more tender than people give me credit for, Barlow says.
I feel like my trying to protect people has actually hurt me.
They take what they feel and portray it to the audience.
I don’t know if Lisa is given the opportunity to really express who she is.
And who is she?
Lisa’s amazing, he says.
At the same time that she was galavantingaround Manhattan, Barlow was also undergoing a religious awakening.
For us, it just felt right.
I like the teachings of Christ and the family aspect of all religions is great.
It’s really emphasized in the LDS faith, Barlow says.
I honestly think I have the life I have because I became Mormon.
My mom was like, Everyone has blonde hair and blue eyes.
No one here thinks you’re pretty, she recalls.

And I was like, What do you mean, what am I?
My sister served in an LDS mission with my husband.
They got home from their missions around the same time and he took her on two dates.
He kissed her once and that was it, she says.
People are like, Ew, gross.
[Her sister and husband] slept together, she says.
No, we’re Mormon.
If my sister did, I could never be with him.
I knew in my gut it wasnt going to get picked up, she says.
She was right.TheReal Housewives of Salt Lake Citydebuted in November 2020, at the height of the pandemic.
The hot-mic moment only endeared her further: Who among ushasnttalked shit in a moment of deep frustration?
That really sealed it for me.
Barlow denies being a schemer Deflecting is so 2020," she says.
See: her crying between two of her arguingRHOSLCco-stars, declaring,Im an empath!
I absorb it all!
I mean, we have a really good lifestyle.
Sometimes that makes people upset and creates icky feelings inside them.
How was she portrayed right now?
Should she be doing anything differently?
Do I see her as she sees herself?
