Since joining The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast, Monica Garcia's only regret is her purchase of a Louis Vuitton bag. In an exclusive interview, when asked about her biggest splurge as a new Housewife, Monica, 40, shared that buying the bag was a real challenge, especially since some people doubt its authenticity.
Monica expressed regret for her splurge, saying she didn't anticipate it being such a big deal. She tearfully admitted during the second episode of RHOSLC season 4 that she had purchased the designer purse in an attempt to fit in with the other Housewives before their trip to Palm Springs.
She expressed, "I just feel like I want to have something nice around them, and I don’t want to show up with nothing," in the episode that aired in September. "I hate that I feel like that. It’s so stupid. That’s not me. I’m not that person, I don’t care."

While Monica was voicing her money worries, fellow RHOSLC star Lisa Barlow freaked out over losing a ring, which she said was worth $60,000.
"Has anyone spotted a ring on the floor?" Lisa, 48, exclaimed during the episode. "I'm completely panicking."
When Us inquired about the ring's whereabouts during "Housewives Happy Hour," Monica took a sip of her wine and chose to remain silent.
Monica didn't just keep quiet about one iconic moment, but also remained evasive about Heather Gay's black eye from RHOSLC season 3. Despite not being on the show at the time, Heather's black eye garnered significant attention earlier this year.
At the RHOSLC reunion in January, Heather claimed to have "blacked out" after a wild night out and woke up with the unexplained injury. In September, Meredith Marks hinted to Us that the truth might possibly be revealed during the current season.
As for Monica’s opinion, Us also inquired the Bravo star about her thoughts on what really happened to Heather’s black eye. Monica responded by pausing to take a sip of her wine, and with a chuckle, she added, “Next [question] girl.”
