Lisa Barlow is reacting to Jen Shah‘s recently canceled sit-down interview with Andy Cohen.
While attending the Sundance Film Festival, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star teased the upcoming season three reunion and revealed which “friend” she hopes will stick around for season four after being asked if she hoped to see the one-on-one between Jen and Andy take place.
“It’s a complicated question,” Lisa told The Wrap on January 24. “On one side yes and on the other side no. I think she needs to have accountability for what we’ve basically been hearing for the last two seasons. But there’s another part of me that’s like, ‘Do we reward bad behavior?’”
As RHOSLC fans likely saw, Jen announced that her plans for a sit-down with Andy were canceled on Instagram last week.
“This specific 1 on 1 interview was not part of my RHOSLC reality tv contract,” Jen wrote. “I promised myself and my loving family that I would never allow this part of my life to be sensationalized or inaccurately conveyed. Too many people have been hurt by my actions and my inability to control my own narrative.”
“I would rather remain silent and wait until I am able to accurately share my story than continue having complete lies and misrepresentations about me smeared across the headlines,” she added.
Although Jen will not be featured on the RHOSLC reunion, Lisa did appear — and told The Wrap she was happy with the outcome.
“I love everything I said. There’s probably one thing I wish I said. But I hope they keep it all because I have a feeling they will not. Because that was like eight hours of chatter,” she explained.
And as she and her remaining castmates, including Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, and Heather Gay, look ahead to next season, she says she hopes Angie Katsanevas, who she applauded for having the best reunion look (aside from her own), will return.
“She and I are great friends,” she shared. “We talk all of the time we’ve been friends for years. Her salon is responsible for my shiny, sleek locks.”
Also during the interview, Lisa revealed the hardest part about Sundance.
“For me, the hardest part about Sundance is the lack of sleep. I’m a high-energy person. I don’t require a lot of sleep, but Sundance I get none,” she revealed. “And another thing that’s really hard is there’s so much to do, and you can’t do it all. So I think that’s kind of hard too because there’s like times I want to be at a lounge or film and I can’t be at both.”
