‘RHOSLC’ filming turns ‘explosive’ amid Whitney Rose, Lisa Barlow feud

Bermuda just got a lot chillier.

“The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” is gearing up for a feud between Whitney Rose and Lisa Barlow to reach its breaking point during the cast’s ongoing trip.

“Producers have been preparing for an explosive situation in Bermuda,” a source tells Page Six exclusively.

The insider dishes that producers gathered Friday at The Loren at Pink Beach resort, where they discussed potential scenarios between Rose and Barlow ahead of the co-stars’ arrival Saturday.

“Tensions have flared in Whitney and Lisa’s relationship while filming Season 4,” the source tells us. “The women recently got into it with each other, and their conflict is expected to bleed into the Bermuda trip.”

The insider adds that the ladies’ “discord is layered,” but Barlow, 48, feels that Rose, 36, “hasn’t been completely honest with her this season.”

The source did not elaborate on what specifically upset Barlow, but a second insider teases that the Vida Tequila founder’s evolving dynamic with Meredith Marks — with whom Barlow had a major falling out two seasons ago — might have something to do with it.

“Lisa and Meredith are in a better place,” the second source tells us. “Their friendship will never be what it was, but they’ve settled into a cordial relationship.

“The new dynamic between Lisa and Meredith could be creating space for Lisa to reevaluate her relationship with Whitney.”

To add fuel to the fire, Barlow has also been mending her on-again, off-again friendship with Heather Gay, who was previously BFFs with Rose before their Season 3 drama.

“Lisa is also getting along more with Heather, which might be to blame for some of the tension with Whitney,” the second insider adds. “Lisa is really focusing on her family this season.”

Reps for Bravo, Rose, Barlow, Marks and Gay didn’t immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.

The cast previously jetted off to Palm Springs, Calif., while shooting the upcoming season, but Bermuda marks their first international trip. (They infamously could only go on domestic vacations while now-incarcerated Jen Shah was still a cast member.)

Rose, Barlow, Marks and Gay have had evolving friendships since “RHOSLC” premiered in November 2020.


Can’t get enough ‘Real Housewives?’


Sources previously told Page Six that the cast was undergoing a shakeup after its “dark” third season, which saw Shah, 49, head to prison for fraud and Gay, 48, sustain a mysterious black eye.

“They’re trying to bring in new women to lighten it up,” a source told us in January.

Marks, 51, later told Page Six exclusively that she agreed the series needed “people to help bridge the gap” of the “divided” cast.

“RHOSLC” also lost Shah after she began her five-and-a-half-year sentence for running a nationwide telemarketing scheme.

Bravo has yet to announce the premiere date for “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” Season 4.
