What Happened Between Lisa Barlow and Bronwyn Newport in the Explosive RHOSLC Episode?

Lisa Barlow and Bronwyn Newport clashed in one of the most heated moments of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6. The drama unfolded aboard a luxury yacht during a crossover with Below Deck Down Under, when Lisa alleged that Bronwyn’s husband, Todd Bradley, had cheated — a claim that immediately set the cast on edge.

The explosive accusation not only rocked the cast but also reignited old tensions between Lisa, Bronwyn, and Angie Katsanevas, who revealed she was the one who confronted Lisa about spreading the rumor. What followed was a storm of denials, apologies, and emotional confessions that left fans stunned.

Lisa Barlow’s Cheating Allegation Ignites Chaos

In Episode 8, Angie confronted Lisa after claiming that Lisa had told her Todd was seen “making out” with one of Lisa’s friends. The bizarre detail that Todd was “farting the entire time” made the rumor even more shocking and embarrassing. Lisa defended herself, telling Bravo that she only repeated information she heard from a trusted source. “I was just told that my friend’s very close friend made out with Todd,” she explained, calling the situation a “mood killer.”

The gossip quickly spiraled out of control. Lisa later called Angie a “busybody” for bringing the matter to light and insisted that the story wasn’t meant for public discussion. She expressed regret about how the situation escalated, adding that she “normally would never say something like that.”

Bronwyn, however, strongly denied the claim, telling producers it was “impossible” for Todd to have cheated. She suggested Lisa might have exaggerated the story for drama, adding, “Do I think that Lisa looks for information on all of us, and if she can’t find it, she’ll exaggerate? Absolutely.”

Bronwyn Confronts Lisa Amid Family Tensions

The yacht confrontation took an emotional turn when Bronwyn accused Lisa of crossing a line by mentioning her daughter, Gwen. “I’m sunburned, I had a couple of drinks, the boat was rocking, and I lost it,” Bronwyn admitted later, explaining why she reacted so fiercely. She made it clear that her husband and daughter were “off-limits” in any discussion.

In an effort to smooth things over, Lisa publicly apologized during a zombie-themed dinner. “I’m very sorry that I hurt your feelings and Todd’s and Gwen’s. I’m very sorry,” she told Bronwyn. The apology was met with polite thanks, but Bronwyn later clarified in her confessional that forgiveness would take time. “Acknowledging it is one thing. Understanding it is another,” she said.

Can Lisa and Bronwyn Repair Their Friendship?

Following the confrontation, Lisa told cameras she wanted to restore peace between herself and Bronwyn. “I just wanna be status quo at this point with Bronwyn,” she said, signaling her hope to move on from the feud. Whether that reconciliation will last remains uncertain — especially with the rest of the cast still divided over who is telling the truth.

The RHOSLC drama continues to grip viewers as fans await Todd’s response and future interactions between Lisa and Bronwyn. With emotions running high and friendships at stake, the fallout from this yacht fight is far from over.
