RHOSLC's Meredith Marks: Sharing Insights on Monica Garcia's Involvement in Lisa Barlow's Missing Ring and Other Cast Revelations (Exclusive)

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Meredith Marks is sharing her opinion on the alleged ring scandal involving her co-stars Monica Garcia and Lisa Barlow. In an exclusive interview on the latest "Housewives Happy Hour" episode, Meredith, 52, stated that she has "no reason to believe" that Monica, 40, stole Lisa's diamond ring.

Meredith explained that Monica had a ring that looked very similar to the missing $60,000 diamond band, but claimed she got it from Amazon. Meredith, however, was not in the bathroom and had no context for the situation. This incident occurred during a September episode of the Bravo series, leading to rumors among fans that Monica might have taken the missing ring.

According to Meredith, none of the women actually made that statement. She believes it was just a rumor that started online and doesn't think anyone believes it either.

Monica casually brushed off the rumors at BravoCon last month, quipping, "Rich people steal stuff too." She later insisted to TVLine in November that she is innocent, stating, "It’s not like it was just me that was in that bathroom. I wasn’t even in there when she dropped it. I did not take it." While the drama between Monica and Lisa may have been mere fan speculation, Meredith hinted in December to Us that fabricated story lines on the show are not unheard of. She cryptically revealed that "there’s only one" former castmate who has admitted to pretending on camera, but refused to disclose the identity, simply taking a sip of her wine to avoid sharing more details.

Meredith decided not to reveal any of the RHOSLC stars, but she opened up about her own experiences on the show. In an interview with Us, the Bravo personality discussed her "shadiest" moment on screen, which involved another scandal with Lisa. She admitted that she would take back any negative comments she made about Lisa, emphasizing that she did not spread all the rumors about Lisa, but rather regrets making any commentary about them at all.

Meredith caused a stir in season 3 when she raised rumors about Lisa to her fellow cast members, including telling Whitney Rose, "I just heard that she was doing favors to help get places to pick up Vida Tequila."
