Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Lisa Barlow was named the Queen of Sundance – and even given a crown – by the official Sundance Institute’s non-profit organization.
Ting Ting Ting, Sundance has an announcement …
The official Instagram page for The Sundance Institute posted a video of Lisa with a caption teasing that the RHOSLC star will be an active part of the year’s festivities.
“The Queen of the Sundance Film Festival has been crowned. 👸.”
“Tomorrow kicks off the 2026 festival and I’m ready for all of it – the films, the artists, and of course, the Main St. fun. Follow along for a front row seat!”
LB entered the chat:
In the video, Lisa boasted, “Ok guys this is so major.”
“The Queen of Sundance Film Festival is finally getting her crown. Oh my gosh, it’s everything. It’s chic, iconic, and gorgeous.”
“You know, the Sundance Film Festival is all about celebrating the dreamers, the filmmakers … and today, it’s all about celebrating me.”
“Stick with me. I’m taking you all around for the festival fun.”
The gods of timing blessed Lisa with this announcement:
For almost a week, RHOSLC fans (and Angie Katsanevas) trolled Lisa Barlow for pretending she has a relationship with Ben Affleck, when he admitted he doesn’t know her.
Ben went out of his way to be kind, but the truth was ugly for LB. “She doesn’t look familiar to me,” declared Ben after a picture of her was presented to him.
“I don’t want to embarrass her. I don’t want to be the jerk who is like, ‘I did meet you. You don’t remember meeting me?”
