Meredith Marks denied Lisa Barlow’s “absurd” claims that she called her home “s–tty.”
“First of all, I never even saw her house finished — she doesn’t invite people over, so I’ve been to her house twice,” Marks, 50, told Page Six’s Evan Real and Danny Murphy during a live taping of the “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast at City Winery in New York City on Monday night.
The “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star claimed that in their ten years of friendship, she’s only been to Barlow’s house on two occasions — both of which took place during Season 1 of filming for the hit Bravo show in 2019.
Marks added that when she did visit Barlow’s home, “the renovations weren’t finished, so I couldn’t comment on her renovations.”
“I mean it was absurd! Of course I didn’t say that, because they weren’t even finished,” the jewelry designer concluded.
Barlow’s rep didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Marks and Barlow, 47, have yet to totally recover from the controversial rant in which Barlow accused Marks of being a “whore” who “f–ked half of New York” and had “10 motherf–king boyfriends.”
However, Marks did clarify that she got the “clean apology” she was looking for from Barlow during the cast trip to Arizona, but she didn’t gain any “real understanding” of where the statements came from or if they would “happen again.”
“I was open to seeing what path it would go down,” Marks said right after Barlow apologized to her for the rant.
As the former friends still remain at odds, Marks teases that it was “stuff that transpired very there shortly after” with Barlow that fans “have not seen yet” that caused the rift to widen.
Barlow and Marks first discussed what Marks claims to be a not-so-hot-mic moment on the Season 2 reunion when Barlow brought up the home rumors she’d heard.
“Somebody had just told me that you were making fun of my renovation and stuff and I was just like upset … You said I live in a s—tty house,” Barlow claimed at the time.
Marks denied the allegations and instead pinned it back on Barlow, telling her, “OK, you have an ugly house, so you should rip my character to shreds.”
New episodes of Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast are released on Thursdays and Season 3 of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
