Unveiling the ‘RHOSLC’ Season 4 Reunion: From Spiritual Unity to Unveiling Secrets
The 'RHOSLC' season 4 reunion kicks off with an explosive start as Monica Garcia rejoins the cast following her shocking revelation in the finale From a heartfelt prayer circle to the unraveling of the devil's triangle, brace yourselves for a reunion filled with drama and twists
Bravo has given fans a sneak peek of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 4 reunion, leaving viewers excited. In the released footage, Lisa Barlow, Heather Gay, Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, Monica Garcia, and Angie Katsanevas are seen traveling to New York City to address all the drama from the season. The reunion set in New York paid tribute to the cast's trip to Bermuda by incorporating a Devil’s Triangle theme.
As the co-stars prepared to confront 40-year-old Monica as a group, 37-year-old Whitney pulled 49-year-old Lisa and Heather into a prayer circle. Meanwhile, 52-year-old Meredith was the first Housewife to arrive, bringing her purse with her. "I did bring it because I have a lot of notes," she told reunion host Andy Cohen.
The 55-year-old Bravo executive producer started by noting that the cast had not seen each other since their trip to Bermuda, where it was discovered that Monica had been secretly operating a RHOSLC gossip account called Reality Von Tease.
Monica was swift to emphasize that she was the only one being excluded, stating, "I feel like they have been together. I think they were together a lot. Minus me."

Before asking the questions that viewers wanted answered, Andy took a detour to talk about “the Jen Shah of it all.”
"Obviously, she's not here. How did it feel doing the show without her? Were you worried as a group?" he asked.
Heather expressed nervousness about Jen's absence upsetting fans who wanted to see a different kind of tension on the show. "I was worried that people would want that type of drama and toxicity," she explained. "I thought fans might tune out if they didn't see it. But we are excited for the chance to be free of all of that. We're excited for a chance to prove ourselves and show our friendships without that in the mix."
Jen, aged 50, became a member of the RHOSLC cast when the show first aired in 2020. However, she was arrested for wire fraud while filming for season 2 in March 2021. In 2022, she pleaded guilty and was subsequently sentenced to 78 months in prison with five years of supervised release.
During her time on the show, Jen consistently maintained her innocence. Despite her efforts to stay out of drama, speculation arose among viewers after fellow cast member Heather mysteriously received a black eye during a season 3 cast trip, leading to questions about Jen's possible involvement.

Heather provided numerous excuses to sidestep explaining the situation — or identifying those involved. It wasn't until the tumultuous trip to Bermuda that Heather revealed the shocking news, ultimately placing the blame on Jen.
Jen, who is currently incarcerated, managed to challenge the accusations by stating, "It's obvious the show relies on me, as I was prominently featured throughout season 4." She expressed this on Instagram after the RHOSLC season finale. "BRAVO, if I really hit Heather in the eye, you'd have the footage to prove it. Andy is simply upset that I declined a one-on-one interview with him. I wouldn't waste my time sitting down with someone who accused another cast member of giving them a black eye." Meanwhile, Andy responded to Jen's implication that Bravo was involved in Heather's claim.
"I hate to state the obvious, but if we actually had the footage, don't you think we would have already shown it?" he remarked during a recent episode of his Radio Andy show. "We would have had Heather claiming, 'I have no idea how I got the black eye,' and then immediately cut to the footage with a caption that read 'four hours earlier.'"

He admitted that Jen was correct about their plans for a one-on-one interview, and added, "I had forgotten about the one-on-one with Jen. I don't care about it anymore, I'm over it. Her stipulations were crazy. She wanted us to do a docuseries of her days leading up to jail, she wanted a lot of money, and she was still claiming her innocence. It would've just been another interview of her lying to my face, which we already got at two reunions. So, that's that. That's my response to that."
The three-part RHOSLC reunion kicks off on Bravo Tuesday, January 9, at 8 p.m. ET. Episodes will stream the following day via Peacock
