Most Iconic Taglines from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

A Real Housewife can ensure fans will remember them by having a killer tagline. And the ladies of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City know that more than anyone. Ahead of Season 4, let’s take a look back at some of the most iconic Real Housewives of Salt Lake City taglines.

When You Take Cheap Shots, Always Expect a Hangover (Lisa Barlow, Season 1)

Lisa Barlow is full of contradictions. One being that she’s a Mormon who owns a liquor company. Lisa’s Season 1 tagline perfectly sums up the Bravo star. It references her business, Vida Tequila, and is super shady, just like her.

We wouldn’t expect anything less from the woman who said, “If I give you a Chanel necklace and you choke on it, that’s your problem, not mine.”

I Love God, But I Will Read You Like a Scripture (Mary Cosby, Season 1)

Like many people in Salt Lake City, Mary Cosby‘s life revolves around God, so it’s no surprise her Season 1 tagline referenced her faith. After all, the Bravo star is known for being the Pentecostal First Lady of her church’s congregation.

However, Mary’s dedication to God has never stopped her from taking time to feud with her RHOSL castmates. From saying Jen Shah “smelled like hospital” to calling Whitney Rose “a little girl,” Mary loves a good read.

The Only Thing I’m Guilty of Is Being Shah-mazing (Jen Shah, Season 2)

Jen’s Season 2 tagline referenced her March 2021 arrest. The Bravo star was arrested on fraud charges relating to her business.

Jen’s cavalierness in her Season 2 tagline is shocking in retrospect, considering that in January 2023, a court found her guilty of more than being “Shah-mazing.” She was sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison for “running a nationwide telemarketing fraud scheme,” NPR reported.

You Don’t Have to Like Me, I Love Myself Enough for the Both of Us (Lisa Barlow, Season 2)

I mean, this is just so classic Lisa. The mother-of-two is unapologetically confident and we love that.

If You Come for Me, I Will Send Jesus After You (Mary Cosby, Season 2)

The scary part is we totally believe her. Similar to her Season 1 tagline, we love how Mary incorporated her faith and her taste for revenge into her second tagline. We can always count on Mary to come up with an iconic yet vaguely threatening catchphrase.

I Am More of a Free Spirit Without the Holy Spirit (Whitney Rose, Season 3)

We love Whitney Rose’s journey from being a “good Mormon” to having a stripper pole in the middle of her living room.

Whitney’s Season 3 tagline perfectly sums up the entrepreneur’s arc on the show. Since her separation from the church, Whitney seems to be more in touch with her wild side and definitely gives off free spirit vibes.

When I Take a Shot, I Always Hit My Mark (Meredith Marks, Season 3)

Who could forget Lisa Barlow’s hot mic moment where she tore her friend Meredith Marks apart? It wasn’t pretty, from accusing Meredith of cheating on her husband to calling her a whore. Understandably, Meredith was upset and the moment caused a rift in the friendship.

Meredith’s Season 3 tagline feels like a direct message to her former friend. After all, the Jewelry Designer spent most of the season trying to dig up dirt on Lisa. We love the shade!

I May Be a Bad Mormon But I’ll Always Be a Good Time (Heather Gay, Season 3)

So iconic! Heather Gay‘s Season 3 tagline references her book Bad Mormon: A Memoir, in which the reality star dishes on her life after leaving the church. We love seeing Heather take her power back and own being a “bad Mormon.”

Also, is the “always be a good time” in reference to the iconic Season 1 drama where Lisa spread a rumor that Heather was a “good time girl” in college?? Omg. We hope so. There are so many layers to this.

All the Ways Bravo Is Rewarding Tom Sandoval for His Terrible Behavior

Tom Sandoval felt the wrath from Vanderpump Rules fans in the wake of Scandoval. However, the treatment he’s gotten from Bravo is decidedly different. Tom has reportedly received numerous benefits from the network, and it seems clear that Bravo isn’t interested in punishing him.

It’s not too surprising, given that Scandoval did a lot to reignite interest in Vanderpump Rules. After nine seasons, the show’s 10th season was struggling to retain viewership. Vanderpump Rules was on the verge of cancellation, until Tom’s affair with Rachel Leviss came to light. As a result, Scandoval became one of the most talked-about TV events of the year.

While Rachel became a pariah amongst her former castmates, Tom has had an easier time being accepted by the group again, and has been seen filming Season 11. But according to Rachel, Bravo has been extra accommodating with Tom. In her recent interview with Bethenny Frankel, Rachel made some major claims about Tom’s current relationship with the network.

Of course, what she says should be taken with a grain of salt. However, if Rachel’s claims are accurate, then Tom is being rewarded by Bravo for his reprehensible behavior.

Production Gave In to Sandoval’s Editing Demands

When Tom secretly filmed an intimate FaceTime conversation with Rachel, you would think the network would frown on that sort of shady and problematic behavior. But Bravo’s response was far different.

According to Rachel, she brought up the FaceTime recording while she and Tom were filming during Season 10. Tom was understandably worried for the truth to come out and Rachel claims he “boycotted filming” until Bravo agreed to edit discussion of the FaceTime recording out of the final cut.

It’s shocking that Bravo would give in to that kind of demand from a reality TV star, and it shows just how excited the network was about Scandoval. Bravo knew that Scandoval would make for incredible television, and if conceding to Tom’s editing demands was what it took to finish filming, the network was allegedly more than willing to comply.

Sandoval Scored a Producer Credit

Another claim that Rachel made during the interview is that Tom was offered a producer credit while negotiating his return in Season 11. Tom jumping from bartender to Lisa Vanderpump’s business partner was a big step up, but gaining a producer credit on Vanderpump Rules would be next level. It’s not something that most of the show’s stars have been offered, and a producer credit would give Tom more control over how he is depicted.

However, it should be noted that Bravo has denied offering Sandoval a producer credit or any other creative control. Rachel may be lying about the producer credit, though if she isn’t, it would certainly be in Bravo’s best interest to deny it. After all, it doesn’t look good to have the network reward Tom for cheating on his ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix.

Sandoval Was Offered ‘Life Changing Money’

There’s another claim about Tom’s Vanderpump Rules salary, but this one isn’t from Rachel, it’s from Stassi Schroeder. On her podcast, the former VPR star claimed that Tom is receiving “life changing money” for his Season 11 return. Though Stassi didn’t go into specifics, the phrase “life changing money” does paint a picture.

It’s true that Ariana has benefitted as a result of Scandoval. However, those benefits have come from things like sponsorships and other opportunities, rather than Bravo. Tom getting a hefty salary boost from Bravo seems like the network’s way of saying thank you for the ratings bump. It doesn’t seem fair that Tom should receive benefits from the network that haven’t been offered to Ariana, in light of the way he treated her.

Scandoval was such a compelling storyline that sometimes it’s easy to forget how much Tom hurt both Ariana and Rachel. His behavior should be held up as an example of what not to do, rather than something one can be rewarded for. It’s unclear if the claims Rachel and Stassi have made about Tom and Bravo are true. However, if they are, then Scandoval has turned into a massive benefit for Tom

Real Housewives Who Are Amazing Mothers

(Photo by: Derek White/Bravo via Getty Images)

Let’s face it. Many of the mothers on reality television are setting a poor example for their kids. Whether they spend lavishly or just fail to instill any values. Sometimes, we watch these kids grow up before our eyes. And we also see the parenting choices that these Real Housewives moms make. Unfortunately, it isn’t always pretty.

So, let’s keep it positive and celebrate some amazing moms who go above and beyond for their children.

Kyle Richards

Kyle Richards and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, allegedly separated after 27 years of wedded bliss, though there’s some confusion. While her marital relationship may be struggling, Kyle is winning on the motherhood front.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has four daughters. Farrah Aldjufrie is Kyle’s daughter from a previous marriage. She shares Alexia Umansky, Sophia Umansky, and Portia Umansky with Mauricio.

RHOBH viewers know how proud Kyle is of all her daughters. During Season 1, she confessed to being “obsessed” with her kids. I mean, Kyle brought her youngest daughter, Portia, breakfast in bed every day. She is a loving and involved mom. And breakfast in bed every day? Sign me up!

Kenya Moore

Real Housewives of Atlanta peach Kenya Moore always wanted to be a mom. She married Marc Daly in 2017, but the couple called it quits in 2019. Finally, Kenya filed for divorce in 2021.

The couple share one child, daughter Brooklyn Daly. And Brooklyn is Kenya’s world. Seeing them on RHOA laughing and playing melts my heart.

Sadly, Kenya claimed that Marc rarely sees his daughter. She reportedly bent over backward to facilitate visits for Brooklyn and her father. But I think that Kenya has more than enough love and caring to give Brooklyn a wonderful life.

Bethenny Frankel

Real Housewives of New York City alum Bethenny Frankel married Jason Hoppy in 2010. They split up in 2012, filing for divorce the following year. Their divorce and custody battle over their daughter, Bryn Hoppy, raged on for years. The exes finally finalized their divorce in 2021.

In December 2021, Bethenny was granted primary residential custody of Bryn. She was previously awarded full legal custody of her daughter.

On Watch What Happens Live, Bethenny opened up about Bryn, revealing they love making TikTok videos together. “She doesn’t care about any pomp and circumstance. I kind of will be like, ‘Let’s do a funny one.’ And then she enjoys watching it once we do it,” Bethenny explained.

Bethenny dotes on her only daughter and is fiercely protective of her. Now that Bryn is older, fans are getting to see more of her. But Bethenny always keeps a watchful eye on her. The Skinnygirl mogul is a hands-on mom who is strict and doesn’t miss a trick.

Lisa Vanderpump

Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump lives for her children. She shares one daughter, Pandora Vanderpump Sabo, and one son, Max Todd, with her longtime husband, Ken Todd.

RHOBH fans watched Pandora’s extravagant wedding to Jason Sabo unfold during Season 2. It was the best Bravo wedding ever, in my opinion, and was absolutely spectacular.

Lisa wrote a letter to her children on Mother’s Day, 2016, which was published by Time. “You have enriched the fabric of my life, you have colored it, you have given me so many memories that I have harvested for a day when my life might not be so vibrant,” Lisa wrote. “And so, on this Mother’s Day, I want you to know, it is an honor to be your mother, a job I will always cherish. “I thank you both.”

And in 2021, Pandora gave birth to a son, Theodore. Lisa took on the role of Nanny Pinky. That little boy will be loved and spoiled beyond measure.

Heather Dubrow

Heather Dubrow and Dr. Terry Dubrow have four children. Three of Heather’s children are part of the LBGTQ+ community. The Real Housewives of Orange County star has stood by their side on their personal journeys.

In 2020, Heather’s daughter, Max Dubrow, shared that she was bisexual. Then the RHOC star’s daughter Kat Dubrow came out as a lesbian a couple of years later. But Ace Dubrow, Heather’s youngest child, came out as transgender in 2023. Sadly, he’s experienced bigotry.

Heather and Terry decided to have Bravo cameras rolling to document their family life. They hoped to show others that they were a normal family.

And the actress had some wonderful advice for other parents of LBGTQ+ kids. “Love them, protect them, and support them,” Heather said. And that is what makes her such a phenomenal mom.

Lindsay Hubbard Caught Off-Guard by Carl Radke Split, Was Busy Wedding Planning

Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, Summer House — (Photo by: Charles Sykes/Bravo via Getty Images)

Well, another Bravo couple allegedly bites the dust. In August 2022, Summer House super couple Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard became engaged. Carl’s proposal played out on Season 7 of the series.

Their journey to love started as friends and ended up headed towards holy matrimony. Until Carl reportedly hit the brakes.

A shocking split

An insider told The Messenger that Lindsay’s wedding planning was going “full steam ahead.” The duo planned to tie the knot in November.

“Lindsay was completely blindsided and is in shock. There were no signs of this coming and their relationship has been in a great place,” the source stated. “She’s called friends and has been in total denial about Carl ending the engagement. She doesn’t think it’s actually happening and can’t believe it.”

The insider added, “She’s in complete shock right now but is also upset. It hasn’t quite hit her.” I can’t see Lindsay handling this well.

“She hopes they will work it out and believes it will be OK between them. Carl basically dropped a bomb at their apartment and then left,” the source claimed.

How did things between Carl and Lindsay end?

Entertainment Tonight previously reported that the couple had called it quits. “Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard have called off their engagement,” several sources claimed. “The two were set to get married in November, but Carl told Lindsay he couldn’t move forward with the wedding,” the insiders stated. “The breakup was filmed and will most likely play out on the next season of Summer House.” Well, if it wasn’t filmed, did it even happen?

Meanwhile, Season 8 is already filming. Lindsay recently had a bridal shower, and several of her co-stars attended. Ciara Miller, Danielle Olivera, and Amanda Batula all showed up to celebrate the bride-to-be.

This juicy drama will no doubt boost Summer House’s Season 8 ratings.

RHONJ Rumor: Joe and Melissa Gorga Make Peace With Bill and Jennifer Aydin

With Dolores Catania’s charity softball event comes all the related Real Housewives of New Jersey publicity. The event is like a candy store for those searching out RHONJ rumors.

For example, fans have already begun speculating about Teresa Giudice and Jackie Goldschneider’s relationship. Then there was Luis Ruelas passing a ball with little Joey Gorga. It’s one of the most exciting times to be a RHONJ fan.

But among the shockers was Joe Gorga and Bill Aydin, who appeared to be quite chummy, despite the tiff that Joe, Melissa Gorga, and Jennifer Aydin got into at BravoCon in 2022. Name-calling occurred, rumors flew, and a drink was thrown. But now, that might all be a thing of the past.

Joe and Bill hug behind Jennifer’s back?

A post shared by All About TRH (@allabouttrh)

The Instagram account @bravoandcocktails posted a DM to their story. The message was reportedly from an insider who saw Joe and Bill. They said, “Joe Gorga [and] Bill Aydin just wrapped that long scene and they hugged and Joe said I love you to Bill.”

Another Instagram account, @allabouttrh, picked up a lot of footage from the event, including Joe and Bill acting quite chummy to one another. The two were even caught hugging one another with Melissa nearby. Jennifer, however, was nowhere to be found. There was also footage of Joe and Bill being filmed for RHONJ, as the two appeared to be having a serious conversation.

IG users were not at all too happy with Bill’s display in the footage. One commenter summed up the general feelings: “Bill you gotta defend your wife. Speaking with people who threw a drink at her and called her all types of disgusting names. Ima need you to do better sir.” Still, we’ll have to wait to see the full context of these clips.

Kroy Biermann Demands Sale of $3 Million Home Shared With Kim Zolciak

Good morning to everyone except Kim Zolciak! Welp, It’s time to call the ball for Kim, put a fork in this woman because she’s done. It seems Kroy Biermann is truly fed up and it appears he’s got good reason. The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum has faced some ugly allegations and now Kroy is pulling receipts.

Amid round two of Kim and Kroy’s divorce, we might be seeing the real impact of a gambling habit. Kim f’ed around and found out, and now Kroy is finally trying to put an end to the madness. Radar has the details.

Wow Kim, wow

PSA – before you read the article – find some inner peace because you’re about to be disgusted. Let’s be clear, Kim has no concept of saving money and she’s proven it. That’s because she basically spends money on herself instead of the roof covering her kids’ heads. AlLeGeDlY…

Basically, Kroy was forced to run to court and demand the sale of their Atlanta McMansion. He needs the $3 million Shack of Shame sold immediately so he can put the funds towards their massive debt. Kroy has requested an emergency hearing.

Kim remained unbothered as she and Brielle Biermann flew off to LA. Kroy’s motion stated he and Kimbo are still living in the McMansion, which they’ve almost lost to foreclosure several times now. “The mortgage on the marital residence is held by the financial institution, Truist and is held in Petitioner’s name alone. The names of both parties appear on the property deed. Over the course of the marriage, the parties have incurred significant debt. The parties faced foreclosure proceedings in February 2023,” legal docs read.

“The marital home was set to be auctioned on March 7, 2023. In just the nick of time, the parties were able to avoid foreclosure and the home was taken off the auction block. An agreement was reached with Truist, that placed the parties on ‘foreclosure probation’; if the parties made their mortgage payments every month for three months, the unpaid amount would be placed at the back of the loan and foreclosure again avoided.”

Stay with me, it gets worse

So all they had to do was make three house payments in a row to avoid a really nasty situation. Seems reasonable, right? It’s reasonable to you. To me. And to the spirit of my dead cat. But it clearly wasn’t reasonable to Kim. According to Kroy, he was able to make the May and June payments despite the “financial devastation” Kim has “has wrought upon the family.”

Let’s hear from Kroy’s attorney, bless his heart. “Every month Petitioner struggled to find the money to pay the mortgage. He sold some of his designer backpacks and other personal items. He begged [Kim] to sell some of her purses to help make the payments but, she refused, stating the purses were “hers,” and she was not going to sell them.”

Okay, but she did try and sell them. On her Instagram Stories for an overblown price – and she made sure to tell potential buyers she was accepting Zelle for payments. The lawyer continued, “Ironically, she has been selling purses, hers and her daughters’ and other high-end fashion items including her infamous wigs. However, none of the funds garnered from the sale of these items have gone towards the mortgage, or any other bills. The parties failed to make the July mortgage payment and they are again facing foreclosure. “

Wait – it’s not done getting worse

This is particularly abhorrent. “The parties’ financial situation is dire and will soon dramatically affect the well-being of the four minor children. Petitioner finds himself trying to cobble together enough money to pay the $2,000 electric bill. Meanwhile, Respondent flew to Los Angeles for some rest and relaxation.”

Kroy also said Kim refuses to take accountability for any of the mess. And this is Kroy paying dearly for enabling bad behavior. The attorney shared, “Throughout the marriage, Respondent spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on online gambling, shoes, purses, clothes, wigs, and wine. Whatever money she does win, borrow, or earn from the sale of her purses, is funneled right back into maintaining her persona of a glamourous woman living a lavish lifestyle.”

Ultimately, it’s time for Kim and Kroy to end the fairytale.“There is no doubt that the parties must reside in separate residences for the sake of the children,” his lawyer stated. Living in a home with no electricity or running water would certainly be detrimental to the minor children.”

Up next, Kim avoids accountability by going into rehab. Stranger things have happened.

Sister Wives’ Janelle and Christine Brown Open Up About Kids

Sister Wives stars Christine Brown and Janelle Brown are coming to terms with the failure of plural marriage in their family. Christine announced her split from Kody Brown in November 2021, and Janelle followed in December 2022, although she was still struggling with the relationship during Season 18. And so far, each of their adult children to marry has chosen monogamy.

“None of our children have chosen to live polygamy,” Janelle says. “We don’t even have any really that are in the Mormon church, the mainstream [LDS] church.” As Christine’s son Paedon flatly declared in last week’s episode, polygamy no longer “works in my family.”

“When they were growing up,” Janelle continues, “we always just encouraged them to have a relationship with God, and I think many of them do in their own way … I think polygamy is hard … and you really do have to have a religious conviction. And they just don’t.” People is spilling some exclusive tea.

Polygamy no longer works for the Browns

A post shared by janellebrown117 (@janellebrown117)

(Instagram.com/Janelle Brown)

“Some of our kids have seen how hard it is,” Christine admits. “And some of our kids have seen the separation.” The Brown family contains 18 children, ranging in age from seven to 29. Their four moms are Meri Brown, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn Brown (Kody’s only legal wife).

Christine adds of the grown children, “They see how hard it is and they’re like, ‘No, no, no, no, no. No, that’s not for me.'”

Janelle shared that she and Kody originally committed to raising all of their children under one roof. “We had this vision [of raising all of the children from the various moms] together as siblings … We tried living in one house as long as we could until we didn’t fit anymore … That big picture was our dream.”

In January 2023, Meri and Kody announced their split. They had legally divorced in 2014 so that Kody and Robyn could wed and Kody could legally adopt her three children from her previous marriage. But even though three of his four wives have left, Janelle says all of the older kids are still close.

A fractured family

“The kids are all the same,” she says. “They all interact, and I interact with the kids the same as I always did. The kids all really feel like … siblings.” The exception may be Robyn’s three older children, who came into the family in 2010 when she and Kody married spiritually. They have never really been accepted by the other older kids, since they never lived in the same house and didn’t grow up together.

Janelle and Christine have also remained “very close” and still spend time together. Even though Kody, Meri and Robyn remain friendly, Janelle claims “to some degree, it’s still very polite [and] superficial.”

While the Brown family is pretty fractured these days, Christine hopes that changes. “I’m hopeful that … someday we can function as a family again,” she says. “I think we have smaller separate families that bump into each other like boats on the water, and it causes ripples and it’s bumpy. Sometimes it’s very rough waters, but eventually, hopefully, we can be around each other and it will be calm.”

Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10/9c on TLC.
