Everything That Made Monica’s Instagram Account Such a Betrayal

Monica Garcia may have been a newcomer on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 4, but that did not stop her from taking a front-and-center role. While Monica played it cool all season, the RHOSLC newbie was actually hiding a huge secret all along.

During the women’s trip to Bermuda, Heather Gay took it upon herself to expose Monica’s lies. Heather confronted Monica at dinner with the rest of the women, and told her co-star that she knew she was behind the Reality Von Tease Instagram account. The account had gone up about three years prior, and mainly targeted former RHOSLC star Jen Shah. However, it also targeted the other RHOSLC women, though those posts have since been deleted.

Monica initially played dumb, but then admitted that she was one of the people behind Reality Von Tease. The RHOSLC newbie insisted, however, that there were multiple individuals behind the account. The other women were extremely hurt by the revelations, and understandably so. Monica betrayed the RHOSLC women in many different ways, including her former boss Jen.

Monica Was Fake Toward The Women All Season Long

The most obvious issue with Monica’s involvement in Reality Von Tease, is of course that she lied to the RHOSLC women all along. While Monica never outright denied being involved, it was wrong of her to pretend to be best friends with the women while knowing what she had done. The women had no way to know that Monica was behind the account that had haunted many of them, which is outright wrong.

While Reality Von Tease only has posts about Jen at the moment, there is proof that Monica had shared insensitive things about her RHOSLC Season 4 co-stars as well. The account referred to Whitney Rose as a “swinger” at one point, which is no small insult. Monica was extremely fake toward Whitney, as well as the rest of the women she had previously threw shade at behind the alias.

As Heather pointed out during the finale, it was strange that Monica felt so comfortable celebrating her birthday with women she had back stabbed. We agree Heather, Monica did not deserve a seat at that table!

Monica Also Lied About A Lot

In addition to being insensitive toward her fellow castmates, Monica outright lied to them on more than one occasion. One instance of this was with Meredith Marks, who caught Monica on videotape in her store on a prior occasion. Earlier during RHOSLC Season 4, Monica claimed that she had never been in Meredith’s store before. This just goes to show Monica’s sneaky and deceitful nature, and proves that she can’t be trusted by the other women.

It’s also worth pointing out Monica’s odd reaction to being called out by Heather. Initially, Monica pretended to have no idea what Heather was referring to. Mere seconds later, Monica changed the story and said that Heather was “partly right.” Monica should have just come clean from the jump, since she obviously knew she was guilty. Nonetheless, Monica did her best to avoid the truth coming to light for as long as possible.

Monica Did Some Pretty Creepy Things

At the beginning of Monica’s RHOSLC journey, we all knew that she had ties to Jen. Monica was her former assistant, which would come to play a huge factor in the Reality Von Tease scandal. After all, Jen was the main target of the account, and many of the posts criticizing the former RHOSLC star are still up.

Lisa Barlow initially pointed out that Monica had done drive-bys of Jen’s house, which she felt was creepy. Monica fired back by saying she didn’t need to do a drive-by since she worked for her, but the evidence was already out. Several posts confirmed that Monica had in fact driven past Jen’s house to take pictures for Reality Von Tease on multiple occasions. To make things even weirder, Monica drove past in a disguise with a scarf covering her head.

Monica’s actions are pretty creepy, especially taking into account that she posted pictures of Jen’s home on Reality Von Tease. It is understandable that the other women would be alarmed by this, as there is nothing stopping Monica from doing the same thing to them.

The Most Iconic Vanderpump Moments

(Photo credit: Bravo/YouTube)

Vanderpump Rules took the world by storm in 2023 thanks to Scandoval. But longtime viewers know that the show has served (SURved?) iconic moments from the start. Between the chronically dramatic and unfaithful cast and some (now Emmy-nominated) incredible editing, VPR at its best was magic, like nothing else on TV.

As any Vanderpumper will tell you, it’s hard to narrow down the most iconic moments to a single list. But here are the ones that still have fans shook to this day.

The Parking Lot Fight – Season 1

Peacock/YouTube

After their breakup, Jax Taylor crashed Stassi Schroeder‘s birthday party. It lead to an explosive fight with her new beau, Frank, in a Las Vegas parking lot. Jax was so angry, he took off his beloved cream chunky knit sweater to brawl shirtless.

Laura-Leigh Goes Off At Stassi – Season 1

Laura Leigh, Jax’s rebound from Stassi, went to Julliard. Maybe that explains her theatrical nature. Her over-the-top confrontation of Stassi in a SUR meeting gave us such gems as “take the victim tampon out of your ass.” Not to mention Lisa Vanderpump telling Stassi that her behavior did, in fact, sound like a “ghetto b*tch.”

Though Laura-Leigh only appeared briefly in Season 1, her iconically strange behavior has kept her a fan favorite. Many have tried to call out Stassi’s mean girl antics over the years. But did anyone leave her as shaken as the chimpmunk-voiced former Gossip Girl guest star?

After going so hard to defend Jax, Laura-Leigh saw his true colors when Jax dumped her after her Narcotics Anon meeting. Ultimately, she left the show for a bit part in the Jennifer Aniston comedy We’re The Millers.

Stassi Confronts Kristen – Season 2

Bravo/YouTube

It was the slap heard ’round the world. After Jax finally admitted to sleeping with Kristen Doute, Stassi set up her big confrontation. Making sure to note the detail that they hooked up while watching Drive, Stassi added, “I hope you enjoyed the movie.” Kristen still claimed, “I didn’t bang Jax,” even after her former bestie slapped her. But by the finale, she admitted it too.

As an honorable mention, Tom Sandoval also physically fought Jax over the betrayal. Jax smiling directly at the camera, with blood on his face, is an image fans will never forget.

Kristen Picks Up Her Mail in THAT Green Dress – Season 3

Brav Bros Podcast/YouTube

Despite rebounding with James Kennedy, Kristen was absolutely not over Sandoval in Season 3. Her “revenge dress” attempt came when she rocked a low-cut green party dress…to go pick up her mail in the middle of the day.

Kristen later revealed that it was a producer trick. She was told they’d shoot a Sex & The City-themed brunch shortly after. But producers didn’t make her accidentally call Sandoval “babe….I mean Tom.” The dress is so iconic that Kristen still does TikToks wearing it to this day.

Miami Girl Appears – Season 3

Peacock/YouTube

Kristen’s unbelievable post-breakup behavior strikes again! After hearing about her all season, the infamous Miami Girl finally appeared to confront Sandoval in person. Sandoval’s reaction sure seemed to indicate the truth about whether or not they hooked up. But at the moment, Ariana Madix stood by him as they fled the scene. No wonder she now regrets defending him so many times.

The fallout was so intense, it lead to Kristen, while smoking by the SUR dumpster, telling her boss to “suck a d*ck.” To no one’s surprise, she was fired shortly after.

“I’m The Number One Guy In This Group” – Season 4

E!News/YouTube

Everyone remembers this as one of VPR’s best lines, but the moment surrounding it is also iconic. A truly unhinged Jax was in rare form that night.

First, he insisted that Brittany Cartwright‘s boob job would have to be what HE wanted, because he was the one paying for it.

Then, Jax cut down Sandoval’s ranting by telling him “Dude, stop acting like you’re the number one guy in this group.” Jax, rightfully, also told Sandoval that no one cared about his band. Obviously, Sandoval flipped out.

Sandoval’s New Orleans Meltdown – Season 5

Bravo/YouTube

Sandoval and Kristen were still arguing over their relationship three seasons after their breakup. During the already unhinged bachelor/bachelorette trip for Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz‘s impending marriage, Sandoval decided to fight with Kristen’s new boyfriend, Brian Carter. While he and Schwartz were in drag, for an extra iconic detail.

Who could blame Stassi for peaking around the corner? Likewise, who could blame Jax for refusing to go out and get involved?

Later that night, things got even more out of control. Which means, even more iconic. Sandoval screaming that Schwartz is a “battered f*cking wife,” and kicking down the door to reveal a smiling Schwartz sitting on the toilet, is something viewers will never, ever forget.

Brittany and Jax’s Housewarming From Hell – Season 6

Bravo/YouTube

Who knows why Jax and Brittany thought it’d be a good idea to throw a housewarming after his latest cheating scandal. But viewers are glad they did because the night was eventful, to say the least.

Brittany and the girls gathered around to listen to a recording of Jax talking about her is an image straight out of a Sofia Coppola movie. The whole night was so iconic, even James’ dramatic reenactment for Lisa could make this list.

“It’s Not About The Pasta!” – Season 6

Bravo/YouTube

One of the most talked-about VPR moments, and with good reason. This Season 6 fight between James and Lala Kent is the show at its most absurd. Were they really fighting over pasta? Is it a code word for an illegal substance? Does it really matter?

In hindsight, the fact that they were fighting over Rachel Leviss’ pasta adds a whole other level. And the way James says “pasta” makes it so much funnier.

Ken Drops A Bombshell – Season 10

Bravo/YouTube

Can you believe this scene was almost left on the cutting room floor? I certainly can’t. Just like Ken Todd “cahn’t believe…that Tom Zandeville…had Raquel over while Ariana’s away….in the ja-jacuzzi…”

It’s no wonder this montage, which shows the VPR editors at the height of their powers, is nominated for an Emmy.

Ariana & Scheana Scream At Sandoval – Season 10

Bravo/YouTube

It’s hard to pick just one moment from the instantly iconic Scandoval fallout episode that was Season 10’s finale. To cheat a little bit, I’m listing both of the Sandoval confrontations that bookmarked the episode. Ariana’s perfect articulation of her heartbreak already sounded like something out of a movie before the Bryan Cranston dramatic reading.

Although her own affair started the show, Scheana Shay became a side character at best in most VPR seasons. But her emotional confrontation of Sandoval left viewers reeling. Scheana reverted to her “pick-me” ways, which is disappointing but not surprising. Nevertheless, this moment remains iconic.

Sutton Stracke’s Most Iconic Quotes

(Photo by: Charles Sykes/Bravo via Getty Images)

Southern belle Sutton Stracke joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast in Season 10 as a friend of the cast. But she was given her diamond in Season 11 and wasted no time earning it. She was the only cast member to question co-star Erika Jayne about her estranged husband, Tom Girardi’s, legal woes.

Sutton has had her share of meltdowns, funny quotes, and spot-on shade in her confessionals. She can be awkward and is sometimes unable to read the room. While she may not be everyone’s cup of tea, I admit that I’m a Sutton fan. I think that she spices up RHOBH. Let’s take a look back at Sutton’s most iconic quotes.

“Let the Mouse Go” – Season 10

Bravo/YouTube

When Sutton and Dorit Kemsley arrived at Lisa Rinna’s daughter’s event, Sutton quietly said, “I’m going to flip out.” Dorit embellished Sutton’s quote to be far more dramatic at the dinner afterward.

Lisa was angry that her bestie, Sutton, was causing issues. And Sutton told Dorit to stop coming for her and to shut up. Finally, after having a good cry, Sutton told Dorit that she had her fun. “Let the mouse go,” Sutton repeatedly told a flabbergasted Dorit. Let’s face it, getting Dorit to stop talking is a challenge.

“I Thought That Teddi, Maybe You Were Going To Be a Little Boring” – Season 10

Bravo/YouTube

During Season 10, Sutton was a guest at Kyle Richards’ dinner party. As a game, the attendees were supposed to give their first impression of another guest. Well, Sutton was tasked with saying something about Teddi Mellencamp. And she found it difficult.

Eventually, Sutton stated, “I’m going to be very honest. I thought that Teddi, maybe you were going to be a little boring. I’m sorry. Are we supposed to be honest or not?” she asked.

The boutique owner added that Teddi was much more interesting than she thought she would be. Eventually, the pregnant mom started to cry. Proving my theory that no one will ever enjoy a meal on RHOBH.

“Anyone Who Doubts My Exquisite Manners Can Kiss My Exquisite Derriére” – Season 11

Reality TV Fan/ YouTube

Sutton’s Season 11 tagline, “Anyone who doubts my exquisite manners can kiss my exquisite derriére,” was perfect for her. Sutton was well-known for her manners and love of place cards. While she often called out how rude her co-stars were, she was also a repeat offender at being impolite.

“Jealous of What? Your Ugly Leather Pants?” – Season 11

Reality TV Fan/ YouTube

During the Lake Tahoe trip, Georgia peach Sutton accidentally walked in on Crystal Kung Minkoff while she was changing. Sutton was just trying to return Crystal’s coat, but Crystal felt “violated” by the intrusion.

The ladies continued to spar over Crystal’s use of the word “violated.” At a low-key party thrown by Lisa, Sutton cried about what Crystal said about her.  

“It’s hard for me to sit there and pretend everything is great and hunky-dory when it’s not,” Sutton said. Which caused Kathy Hilton to ask who Hunky-Dory was. Poor Kathy did not have a clue. Cue the crickets.

When Crystal refused to apologize for her word choice, Sutton stormed off. Then Crystal accused her of just being jealous. “Jealous of what? Your ugly leather pants?” Sutton fired back. I’m with Sutton on this one. Those pants were not flattering.

“Honestly, I’d Have a Lot of Rage Too if I Lost All My Money” – Season 11

Sutton Stracke/ Instagram

Sutton didn’t go easy on Erika at all during Season 11. But during Kathy’s girls trip, Erika’s emotions were all over the map. She claimed to have no money but had her glam squad.

Sutton, tired of being friends one minute and enemies the next, sympathized with Erika. “Honestly, I’d have a lot of rage too if I lost all my money,” she remarked.

“I Am on the Board of the American Ballet Foundation. I Don’t Do That F**king SH*T!” – Season 13

When the ladies headed off to Vegas to celebrate Crystal’s 40th birthday, it promised to be a fun time. Sutton even had her stack of singles ready for Magic Mike. Erika told the ladies to wear pants if they wanted to be on stage, and Sutton suited up.

But when the dancers had their heads between Erika and Crystal’s legs, Sutton became upset. She stormed out of the theater. “I am on the board of the American Ballet Foundation. I don’t do that f*cking sh*t!” she exclaimed.

While Sutton insisted that she was shocked by the spread-eagled action, her co-stars believed that she was angry that she wasn’t picked to go onstage. She seemed odd that night. But fans may never know exactly why.

“Name ‘Em” – Season 13

Bravo/YouTube

After the Vegas trip, Kyle paid a visit to Sutton at her house. And she confronted Sutton about her odd behavior at the Magic Mike show.

“You have a habit of losing your sh*t in ridiculous circumstances, too,” Kyle stated. Sutton cooly responded, “Name ’em.”

So, as Kyle tried to speak, Sutton repeated the iconic catchphrase. She challenged Kyle to “name ’em” a total of 10 times. I applaud Kyle for getting Sutton to stop talking long enough to run down a list of her meltdowns, which was also very impressive.  

“Name ’em” was instantly one of Sutton’s most iconic quotes.
