If there was ever a time to be locked into a Real Housewives reunion, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 4 reunion is it. After an explosive season 4 finale that ended with the bombshell news that Monica was behind the Reality Von Tease social media account that has antagonized the original show's cast members, the stage was set for a reunion that viewers have been clamoring to watch.
Thankfully for show fans, the reunion is not disappointing in terms of entertainment as the ladies aren't holding back on their feelings and making some big reveals. With each surprising revelation, we took note to compile a list, one we'll update after each reunion episode airs.
Without further ado, here are the most shocking revelations from the RHOSLC season 4 reunion.
Monica and Angie have the biggest feud among the cast
You read correctly. Although all of the ladies (sans Mary) have a bone to pick with Monica after it was discovered she was behind Reality Von Tease, Monica and Angie were the ones continuing to lock horns on the reunion stage, even more so than Monica and Lisa. The insulting comments they traded with each other got pretty nasty.
For example, in one segment in part one of the reunion Monica was talking but Angie kept interrupting. Monica turned to Angie and said, "Why are you talking, bench-warming b***h? This doesn't even involve you like most of the season." Talk about ouch. Then later in the episode, Angie referred to Monica as a "rat" that "came out of the sewer."
There was some more name-calling between the two, but you probably get the point.
Monica's bold statement to get cast on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
When Monica was asked about how she got on the show, she didn't mince words. Referring to the email she sent to the show's casting, "I said, 'My name is Monica Fowler and your show sucks and your ratings are s**t and it's going to get canceled because you don't have the right cast."
We were completely caught off guard by both the statement and her honesty. However, when Bravo showed her email it read a bit differently. The message Bravo showed stated:
"Reaching out in regards to your casting call. You guys need a feisty excommunicated Latina on the show immediately!! I'm your girl!"
What happened to Lisa's $60,000 ring?
In short, nobody knows. Lisa never found the ring.
Monica found it greatly offensive that there were rumors making rounds on social media that she stole it. Furthermore, she was annoyed that none of her castmates, mainly Lisa, stepped in to defend her and say Monica didn't take the ring. Lisa didn't feel it was necessarily her job to defend Monica, a response that isn't surprising given how much the two argued during the season.
On a related note, Lisa finally shared why the ring means so much to her. The ring was a gift from her husband who gave it to her after the birth of her first child. In her words:
"Everybody processes things differently, and for me, losing that [was] a big deal. Henry [Lisa's son] almost died after I had him and John gave me that ring because I was like, 'I don't know if we're gonna be able to have more kids, I don't know if we're gonna have another kid.' That meant more than just a ring I had on my finger."
In short, Lisa was upset not because she lost a $60,000 ring (which she clarified was actually $58,000), but because she lost a piece of jewelry with sentimental value.
The reason Monica goes by different names
A bit of confusion for the cast and for viewers at home was why Monica was seemingly going by different surnames. Well, in part 2 of the reunion, Monica attempted to clarify things.
According to Monica, her maiden name is Darnell, when she got married her surname became Fowler, Delgado is her father's last name and Garcia (her current surname) is her mother's original family name that Monica legally adopted as her own.
If you're wondering how Monica's maiden name was Darnell if this explanation is true, the answer is interesting. Monica claimed that when her mother was growing up in Boston, she was teased due to her heritage and her last name being Garcia. So when Monica's mom came of age, she legally dropped Garcia from her name and just went by the surname Darnell.
All in all, Monica claims she's only had three legal last names: Darnell when she was single, Fowler when she was married and she currently goes by Garcia.
Mary only likes half of the cast
Mary is never one to hold back, and in part two of the reunion, she stayed true to form. When Andy asked her who she liked in the RHOSLC cast, she claimed to like Angie because she can take her toughness, mentioned liking Monica calling her pretty and a "good addition" to the cast and simply expressed a love for Meredith.
Heather was taken aback after being left off of Mary's list, but Mary referred to Heather's comments about Mary's house as the reason she no longer likes the Beauty Lab owner.
As far as Lisa and Whitney are concerned, Mary just doesn't care for either one.
Heather alleges Jen Shah gave her the black eye and Bravo has some footage
While Heather revealed in the season 4 finale that Jen gave her the infamous black eye from season 3, at the reunion she describes what happened... kind of.
Heather was unable to recount what exactly was done to get the black eye but did claim that Jen gave it to her and Jen allegedly apologized for it. Given Jen has taken to social media to deny that she's responsible, this really becomes a case of she said vs she said.
The footage Bravo shows from the property in the aftermath of Heather receiving the black eye is inaudible, leaving Heather to recap the conversation herself. So the mystery of what happened still stands, while the who behind the black eye has an alleged culprit (again, Jen denies she's responsible and there's no footage proving otherwise).
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 4 reunion continues to air on Tuesdays on Bravo, with episodes becoming available the next day on Peacock.
