Real Housewives of Salt Lake City‘s Angie Katsanevas thinks her and Lisa Barlow‘s “strong personalities” are why they can’t move forward with their friendship.
More alike than different:
“We both don’t want to back down. And I think when things get heated, we both puff our chests, and we get in each other’s faces more.”
“We’re both strong, competitive women. We want to win the conversation.” Angie continued, “We want to win an argument. We both want to prove our point.”
Angie said she’ll always have “love” for Lisa, but her walls are up.
Angie brought Meredith into the feud:
The drama came to a head when Angie claimed Lisa encouraged her to dig up information on Meredith in episode 4. “That was not my intention,” Angie insisted. She pointed out that it is Lisa’s history of behaving that way, not hers.
“I would like to see Lisa move differently in the group. Stop with going behind people’s backs and saying, ‘I know this about them.’ That is not what this show should be about.”
Angie has higher hopes for the ladies of Salt Lake City. “There are so many more interesting things in the group than trying to dig up information or making up lies about people in the group.”
Lines crossed:
“Things become unforgivable at some point, and it will ruin our show. And that’s not what I want.”
Since Lisa has “been doing this for six years,” Angie thinks it’s time for Lisa to “find a new way to move through the group.”
“You don’t need to try and hurt people. You don’t need to try and expose people.”
Next steps:
For Angie to “move forward” with Lisa, she needs to humble herself. “She gets braggadocious at times, and we’ve laughed about it. She’ll admit it, but sometimes I wish she could be a little more humble and less, like, trying to prove things. I feel like that would strengthen our friendship.”
From Lisa’s POV, she was less open to repairing the pair’s broken bond. She argued, “I have fought for you. I’ve defended you. I’ve been a great friend to you.”
But, Lisa complained, Angie “opened the door for people to think I do things I don’t do.”
