After every major season of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, there are rumors that someone has left. In reality, all of the OGs except for Jen Shah have been able to keep their snowflake. So when there was a flurry of rumors surrounding Meredith Marks‘ possible departure, we knew we had to get to the bottom of them.
Was Meredith Marks suspended from RHOSLC?
The mother of three has been a fan favorite and staple on the franchise since 2020. However, the gossip train ran out of control. It was rumored that Mer was forced to take a step back after she allegedly had a verbal confrontation with a co-star. Luckily, fans of RHOSLC seem to be simmering down after The U.S. Sun reported that Meredith had not actually been suspended. Thankfully, the outlet confirmed that the rumors are false. An insider shared, “Meredith has not been suspended from the show. She is not pleased about the rumors and nastiness, pun intended.”
The source added, “She wouldn’t be surprised if the call was coming from inside the house. And Britani Bateman was leaking all of this herself to stay relevant. Meredith and Britani get into some pretty nasty altercations and have some blowout fights, but nothing that warrants a suspension.” There have been plenty of fights in the Bravosphere, but Meredith never seemed one to involve herself in a physical altercation. So, naturally, followers were skeptical of the entire thing.
What did a RHOSLC source say about Britani Bateman and the Meredith Marks suspended rumors?
The source had a lot of insight into the rumors regarding Meredith and Britani. According to the insider, the root of some of the ladies’ fights stemmed from political differences, “while other topics they argued over were more personal and hit below the belt.” What could be more personal than politics during this political climate? Meredith already felt uneasy around Britani. During Season 5, the Mormon was caught recording the women fighting on the Sprinter van. This left Meredith enraged and led her down a rabbit hole, where she accused Britani of even bugging her hotel room.
The rumors started after a Bravo fan account posted on Twitter saying, “ALLEGEDLY Meredith got suspended for flipping out on Britani after a huge fight.” Other accounts countered that Meredith chose to stop filming because her husband’s alleged mistress was being brought up on camera. But perhaps the most asinine rumor was that Britani lost a toe during all of the kerfuffle. As a long-time fan, I long for the days when viewers didn’t know what happened during filming until the season actually aired. Fans need to demand media literacy and fact-checking to make a comeback, or I fear that social media accounts might start to be the frontline of “truth” when they have no actual evidence.
RHOSLC Season 6 is filming right now, with both Meredith Marks and Britani Bateman
Currently, Season 6 of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is filming, and both Britani and Meredith have been seen in front of the cameras. To be honest, it would be hard not to have Meredith at the helm since she is one of the stars who always brings the drama. The series would get a bit boring if she were asked to take a step back. Britani has also brought the drama during her series premiere. She refused to read a room, stop singing, or admit her relationship with Jared Osmond was all for show. It wasn’t a surprise to see her given a second chance.
There is most likely trouble in paradise, however, as Bronwyn Newport showed up late to the cast trip. This was most likely due to the drama surrounding claims of identity theft and grand theft, which began in March. An insider told OK! Magazine “The cast is taping their trip in the Caribbean. Bronwyn Newport showed up late to the cast trip due to all of the heat she’s been receiving around her alleged identity theft.” As for Meredith, she has kept quiet and continued to post as if nothing had happened.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
