After a dramatic fourth season, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City will return soon, and Meredith Marks is talking about how the next season will once again show changes in friendships. The women have faced many changes during their time on the show.
They seemed to get used to new situations after dealing with a troll account led by Monica Garcia and the arrest of Jen Shah.
Meredith Marks has been at the center of changing friendships each season, especially with her on-again, off-again friendship with Lisa Barlow.
Even though their relationship has improved, two other friendships have fallen apart, particularly with Meredith’s long-time friend, Mary Cosby.
In an interview with Extra, Meredith Marks shared how this season is going: “There’s a lot of conflicts, a lot of drama, ups and downs.”
Fans are excited to see how the new dynamics in Salt Lake City play out and how the women will handle their relationships moving forward after the Reality Von Tease drama. Old friends are returning, but friendships will be tested again.
Still from the show (Bravo)
The trailer for Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City showed Meredith Marks and Mary Cosby clashing for the first time. This is surprising because they have been close since the start of the show and have always supported each other.
Fans will recall Jen Shah’s issues with Mary Cosby, and Meredith had called out Jen for her behavior towards Mary, so it’s surprising to see Meredith and Mary not getting along.
Meredith said she didn’t understand why Mary was bringing up past issues that they had already discussed and felt Mary was trying to start a fight.
Meredith has also had ongoing issues with Whitney Rose. Meredith said, “Whitney says things and has no regard for the consequences, and she’ll speculate on things and say them as if they’re facts.”
Meredith continues to deal with her feud with Whitney while also managing her friendship with Mary, who has become closer to Whitney and has new friends.
