RHOSLC’s Britani Bateman Says Lisa Barlow “Demoted” Her

Season 6 of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” has one person at the center of all the chaos — Lisa Barlow. Whether she’s clashing with Heather Gay, denying press leaks, or phoning her husband mid-meltdown, Baby Gorgeous is putting in the work. But one person fans didn’t expect to see turning on her is Britani Bateman.

Britani Bateman Says Friendship With Lisa Barlow Is ‘Over’

Britani, who has surprisingly defended Lisa all season long, revealed during a recent appearance on “The Viall Files” podcast that their once-tight friendship has hit a breaking point. “We used to be really, really good friends,” Britani shared. “I took on that mantle, and then I got on the D-list.”

Apparently, Britani’s loyalty came back to bite her. She explained that after she defended Lisa amid the constant drama — including talk of lawsuits and alleged gossip leaks — things between them shifted. “From what I know of Lisa, she can be wounded quite easily. She really does have a tender heart underneath it,” Britani said. “We go on a journey that … umm … surprised me. And hurt a lot.”

Britani also spilled a little more tea, saying Mary Cosby is the exact same person off-camera as she is on-screen. “She doesn’t like you on-camera, she doesn’t like you off-camera,” Britani said bluntly.

Meanwhile, Britani’s off-again, on-again situationship with Jared Osmond continues to raise eyebrows. The actress — who’s prepping to headline her own cabaret show — revealed that she and Jared were together during filming but decided to take a 30-day “break” right before the cast’s yacht trip. Of course, that didn’t stop her from bringing a stuffed animal with Jared’s recorded voice on board. Totally normal.

With Britani’s cabaret, Lisa’s lawsuits, and Heather’s accusations all converging, it’s shaping up to be one of the messiest “RHOSLC” seasons yet. Lisa may claim she’s “not here for drama,” but judging by Britani’s latest comments, the D-list just got a little more crowded.

“The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo and streams next day on Peacock.
