How to Watch
Once Meredith Marks had time to process the bombshell Angie Katsanevas dropped about her and Lisa Barlow’s friendship on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, she had a few things to get off her chest.
As seen on RHOSLC Season 6, Episode 4, Angie claimed that, in the past, Lisa had encouraged her “dig up information” on Meredith’s family (more on that below). In an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish, Meredith unpacked why she had such a “mixed reaction” to Angie’s big reveal.
“On one hand, we were talking about something that Lisa supposedly did a long time ago,” she explained of the “nothing sandwich” allegations. “We’ve moved past that, we’ve built a new friendship and a new relationship, and I can’t live in the past.”
Regardless, the Meredith Marks Caviar founder imagined a scenario in which Angie’s accusation was, indeed, accurate.

“If it were true, it would be bothersome to me,” Meredith added. “It wouldn’t be something that I couldn’t move past, if she and I talked through it.”
In hindsight, she ultimately had to take Angie’s timing into account, too.
“It was a little concerning to me that it was brought to me during a time when Lisa and Angie were not getting along,” Meredith concluded. “And it was such an old thing. So, I just couldn’t get that invested in it.”
What Angie Katsanevas told Meredith Marks about Lisa Barlow
Prior to their coffee shop meetup during RHOSLC‘s Oct 7 episode, Angie shed some light on her motives with a producer.Â
“Look, Meredith and I are no Laverne and Shirley, but we’ve been trying with each other,” she said in a confessional. “So, I just want to make Meredith aware that Lisa’s not the Laverne to her Shirley she thinks she is.”
After they placed their drink orders and engaged in some light small talk, Angie recapped her most recent drama with Lisa, stemming from the latter unexpectedly dispatching her assistant to collect all of sons Henry and Jack Barlow’s Fresh Wolf grooming products from her salon.

Then, Angie quickly related the feud back to Meredith.
“I don’t wanna hurt you, but in the past when you and I were not really in a great place, Lisa was calling me and encouraging me to dig up information about family members and relatives of yours … to intimidate [you], so you stop coming at me,” Angie claimed. “I didn’t, and I wouldn’t, because that’s not who I am.”
She continued, “But obviously, it’s who Lisa is. And Lisa’s doing her research on everyone, true or not, and she’s just keeping it [in her back pocket]. In case you come for her, she’s gonna have this bomb.”

Even before Angie put her in the middle of their beef, Meredith defended Lisa snatching back the products, as well as her so-called “mean” text messages that followed.Â
“Perhaps she needs a little bit of grace because everything that ties back to kids, we all get very reactive,” Meredith told Angie.
Once Angie had officially made her claim about Lisa, Meredith’s initial response was that of confusion: “I just don’t understand why she would, like, tell someone who I’m not getting along with — when I am getting along with her — to go try to, like, dig up dirt that isn’t even true about not even me, but that just would be hurtful to me.”
Meredith also labeled the allegations as “very disturbing,” telling Angie, “I wouldn’t do that to her, you know? I just wouldn’t. And you know I’m going to have to talk to her about this.”
Angie, for her part, insisted she was “OK with” Meredith bringing the information to Lisa, since she allegedly “said it word for word.” Still, Meredith remained skeptical.
“Lisa is loyal, and Angie’s lied about me for two years,” she added in a confessional. “That’s why I find it hard to believe that it’s even true. But I’ll find out.”
