The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City: Meredith and Angie’s heated argument

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City episode 12 revolved around Meredith’s decision to ask Angie to leave. The argument started when Meredith confronted Angie for making derogatory remarks about women. In a flashback, Angie was shown saying,

“The only one who spreads their legs outside their marriage is you.”

Back in the present, Meredith declared, “I don’t like people who slut-shame,” emphasizing her frustration with Angie’s behavior toward her and others. Angie, in response, accused Meredith of showing up “empty-handed” to her anniversary party and criticized her for the perceived slight.

This led to further escalations, with Angie calling Britani Bateman “a classless b***h” during their argument. Eventually, Meredith involved security to escort Angie out, calling her “disgusting” and a “vile human being.”

Angie expressed embarrassment and frustration over being asked to leave, telling Lisa Barlow, “I’m sick of this. I am done.” Lisa attempted to mediate but noted in her confessional,

“Some of the things that Angie says are hurtful, and I think she just remembers the reaction. She doesn’t remember what she did to provoke the reaction.”

While she tried to support Angie, she was also aware of her friend’s faults. Lisa mentioned feeling bad for Angie but highlighted that she often instigates conflicts, even if unintentionally.

Lisa in her confessional, reflected on the state of relationships among the Housewives. She acknowledged the tangled web of disputes, stating,

“Meredith hates Angie. Bronwyn hates Angie. Angie hates Britani. And I hate Whitney.”

Despite the chaos, Lisa had already planned a girls' trip for the group, hoping to smooth things over. Lisa revealed her plans for a group getaway to Puerto Vallarta. In a flashback, she shared her motivation:

“After we went to Palm Springs, I was like, I throw a great trip. And no one’s seen the kind of trips I do.”
