Whitney Rose called out Meredith Marks for her “lies” during a podcast appearance last week.
After the airing of the first installment of the three-part reunion for The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, which saw the two of them at odds over the claims they’d made against one another, Whitney, 39, accused Meredith, 54, of projecting and being two-faced while also suggesting she was the “weakest link” on their cast.
“I had to call her out on her B.S. and her lies. She’s one of the most dishonest people,” Whitney explained during a January 15 interview on Obsessed: The Podcast. “In that finale, it wasn’t so much about Meredith and her alleged drinking and pill popping, it’s that she was lying to us. She hadn’t shared anything that’s going on in her life.”
“The person [who] yells ‘liar’ the loudest, ‘lies, liar,’ anyone who defaults to that is putting up a shield of defense. And they’re projecting their own stuff onto everyone else. So it was more about her behavior and the way that she’s showing up,” she continued.
Looking back at BravoCon, Whitney said she gave Meredith a hug because they were friendly off-camera.
“Here’s the thing about Meredith: When the cameras are down, she’s a completely different person,” Whitney alleged. “The minute the cameras come up, she turns into this lack of personality, she argues in semantics, and she just becomes ‘Meredith Marks.’ But when the cameras are down, she’s my friend.”
Going into the reunion, Whitney said that after Meredith took her kindness at BravoCon and “spun it and twisted it against [her],” she knew she “needed to strike first.”
“And I did,” she explained, “because I had to call her out on her BS and her lies.”
According to Whitney, Meredith is not only problematic as a person who is part of their friend group, but also for the show as a whole.
“We’re an ensemble cast. We’re a team. A group of friends. You’re only as good as your weakest link, and Meredith is our weakest link,” Whitney stated. “She doesn’t share her life, she doesn’t show up in truth, and she is a really grumpy, angry, ornery person most of the time, and so it’s kind of like that wet blanket that you’re just carrying around.”
“[She’s] like dead weight,” she added.
