Lisa Barlow’s anger and betrayal towards Monica Garcia were palpable after the recent revelation that Garcia was involved in the “Reality Von Teese” Finsta account. Barlow, a member of the cast of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, felt that Garcia’s actions were a violation of trust, particularly after it was discovered that Garcia had allegedly been logging into Jen Shah’s security cameras to watch her. This invasive behavior left Barlow feeling creeped out and angry.
During an interview with Deadline, Barlow expressed her feelings towards Garcia’s actions, stating that she was disbelieving and betrayed. She felt that Garcia had taken advantage of the show’s producers and the other cast members, using the platform to bully and intimidate them. Barlow also revealed that Garcia had allegedly sent her friends videos inciting her mother, Linda Darnell, and yelling at her mom, which only further solidified her decision to cut ties with Garcia.
Barlow’s feelings towards Garcia were made clear when she stated that she could never trust her again. She did not want Garcia in her home or space, and felt that her presence would continue to be a source of stress and anxiety. In contrast, Barlow’s conflicts with Heather Gay were different, as they were more intellectual and heated, whereas her arguments with Garcia were more superficial and petty.

According to multiple media outlets, Garcia has been fired from the show, and none of the other cast members seemed to want her to return for a fifth season.
