It’s hard to believe that in the year 2024, there are two Salt Lake City-based women named Whitney wreaking havoc on reality TV. Whitney Rose has been a mainstay on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City since its debut season. More recently, we were introduced to the sometimes wicked ways of Whitney Leavitt on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
The Whitneys have a lot in common besides their first names and hometowns. They both tend to be controversial figures on their shows. Plus, they both proudly wear a chic blonde bob in the land of extension-filled curly hairdos. It’s a coincidence that no one could ignore, including the two Whitneys themselves.
Whitney Rose is taking shots
In an interview with People, Whitney Rose took a shot at the Mormon Wives star stealing her look. “If you think back to season one, I had my natural hair in a bob,” she said. “I’ve always rocked a blonde bob, so I argue that Whitney stole my look.”
However, Whitney doesn’t subscribe to the idea that their haircut signifies them as villains on TV. “I think it’s only because we want to stand out. We don’t want to be like everyone else,” she added. “If that makes me a villain, then I guess I’m a villain.”
Whitney admitted that while she wore extensions for a while, it didn’t make her feel like herself. “I don’t want to look like every other woman around me. I want to be me,” she said. “I don’t know what it is about the bob.” Well, now we’ll need the other Whitney to chime in on whether or not she got her hair inspiration from the RHOSLC star.
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City continues on Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
