Lisa Barlow is calling out her “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” castmates, claiming they weren’t exactly thrilled when she landed a spot on “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th.”
During the October 6 episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” Lisa, 51, told Andy Cohen that her fellow RHOSLC stars struggled with her selection for the special crossover series.
“All of them,” Lisa said when asked which of her castmates were jealous. “I think they had a rough time with it.”
Lisa also revealed that her least favorite part of the experience involved an unexpected appearance by her own cast.
“The thorn is when my cast showed up,” she admitted.
However, the Bravo star had a much better experience with several Housewives from other franchises, including Teresa Giudice and Vicki Gunvalson.

Lisa also addressed tension with Gizelle Bryant, who criticized her for arriving late during the cast’s Atlanta stop.
Lisa questioned why Gizelle gave her a hard time while apparently letting Porsha Williams off the hook for similar behavior.
“When I got on the van, I did say I’m sorry, but I was so, you know, the night before was a little rough with my cast popping in,” Lisa explained.
She added that she was juggling Sundance-related work commitments during filming and had been up late preparing for an event.
“You know what I don’t like is when someone tells you to apologize because then they’re like, ‘Oh, you just apologized because I told you to,'” she said.
Lisa also pushed back against the suggestion that Vicki was difficult throughout the trip.
“I hate that people think she was cantankerous the whole time … she was so fun,” Lisa said. “She made everything a mood. She could just put her visor on crooked and make us laugh so hard. She’s very entertaining. I had so much fun with Vicki. I hate that people are thinking she was a downer.”

While Lisa had issues with some cast members, she said her friendship with Teresa developed almost immediately.
“I feel like it was instant. I feel like we’ve gone through a lot of things,” Lisa explained.
She said sharing a room with Teresa allowed them to connect without the other women around.
“I think every girl on [RHUGT] is like the alpha from their franchise,” Lisa said. “And so all of us together, like, I really felt Teresa.”
Lisa praised Teresa for her accomplishments and her family, adding that the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star was surprisingly relaxed.
“She’s really chill too. Like, Teresa’s very chill,” Lisa said.
When asked which cast members she connected with most, Lisa also singled out the women from “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island,” specifically Liz McGraw.
Despite the tension, Lisa told viewers during the “Watch What Happens Live” After Show that she wouldn’t replace anyone from the cast.
“We had such a great bonding experience. I hate that it was only nine episodes. I feel like we could’ve done 20 with how much fun we all had,” she said.
Lisa added that the late-night moments were among her favorite filming memories.
“I loved the experience, and I’m glad I got to do it,” she said.
“The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” season 7 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
