Jennie Nguyen was embroiled in scandal after a series of old posts resurfaced online. Many of her memes were blatantly critical of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Eventually, the star was fired from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, which saddened her friend Lisa Barlow (who introduced her to the group).
In an interview with TMZ, Lisa said she hasn’t heard from Jennie since the firing except through a single text message.
The reporter asked Lisa if the termination was fair. “I think that was a tough decision for them to make, and it was really hard for everyone involved,” she said, not fully answering the question.
When asked if Jennie should get a second chance at RHOSLC, the star answered, “I think everyone in life deserves a second chance. That’s what we’re trying to do. Just be a little bit better every single day and hopefully we learn from our mistakes and don’t make them again.”
Lisa knows a lot about mistakes this season since she called her longtime friend Meredith Marks a “wh–e” and claimed she slept with half of New York.
“I think that after my hot-mic rant moment, there’s going to be a lot of repair to be done [with Meredith],” she told the outlet. “I’m definitely willing to work for that.”
“We can always hope [Meredith is receptive]. I mean, at the end of the day it’s forgiveness,” she continued. “I learned a lot from my last season, and I’m definitely making changes.”
Lisa will try to “talk it out before [she reaches] a hot-mic moment,” and she doesn’t want to “keep everything inside” again. She also hopes to “vent a little sooner, in small doses.”
The tirade has been called a ‘hot-mic moment,’ but several castmates believe Lisa knew what she was doing and wanted her words to air.
