Angie Katsanevas said she questioned why Lisa Barlow and Meredith Marks rode so hard for each other this season on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and she suggested they perhaps started as “allies.” Angie also addressed getting “kicked out” of the restaurant in Greece.
On the cast trip, Angie and her friends had yelling matches at a restaurant in Greece, the homeland of her family. A man at the restaurant then asked them to leave, claiming the restaurant was closing. Throughout the season, most of the fighting was directed at Meredith and Lisa, who fiercely defended each other despite their past feud.
“What happened between Lisa and Meredith that made them link arms so strongly towards the back half of the season?” asked the host of SiriusXM’s Smith Sisters Live.
“Originally, I just kind of [questioned], are they doing this just because they felt like everyone was against them?” Angie answered. “But look, they have history, obviously. And during tough times, you know, Heather and I went to high school together, and we went through a rough patch. But we came back together because we have history. So I guess we just have to acknowledge that they’ve got that history and they were able to move forward from some really dark moments.”
But Angie suggested that they “started out as allies.”
“That’s just kind of how I felt. Like, how can they really move on from all these things?” she said. “But, you know, they stayed true to each other. And I guess thank God they did, because I think it did feel [like] those two against the world at the finale.”
At one point, Angie was asked how it felt to be “kicked out” of the restaurant in her “homeland.”
“I mean, nobody gets kicked out of a restaurant in Greece,” she said. “And I will say, [the guy] was patient. He was kind. He was darling. … Greeks talk, [and it sounds like] fighting because they’re passionate. People would always say, well, why are they mad? Why? [My daughter would] say, why is she yelling? And I’m like, honey, that’s just how Aunt Kal and Aunt Rula and Aunt Rita talk. They’re just excited. They’re passionate.”
“So Greeks are used to that. And they’re open all night long,” said Angie. “Greece does not close. So us getting kicked out was, like, a little embarrassing … And I just said, ‘Can we just have one more minute?’ He said, ‘No, ma’am, you must go. You get your things and leave. Good night. Thank you for coming.’ It was like, oh, my gosh, this is so embarrassing.”
