‘RHOSLC’ star Bronwyn Newport and Coach clap back after Lisa Barlow’s dig at the fashion brand
Don’t put Lisa Barlow in coach.
On the latest episode of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” the reality star got into a feud with fellow cast mate Bronwyn Newport over her seat.
The group went on a trip to Palm Springs for Newport and her husband Todd Bradley’s anniversary — though, on the return flight to Salt Lake City, Barlow wasn’t pleased with where she had to sit.
She then spoke poorly about New York-based brand Coach. “Um, I don’t carry Coach, and I don’t fly coach,” Barlow said on the show. “No one wants to be the last one to get off the plane.”
Newport then took to Instagram to defend the fashion brand. She posted a photo of Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays Carrie Bradshaw in “Sex and The City,” standing in front of her brownstone on the hit series.
“Wait. The icon that is SJP on the show that changed fashion and costuming…with…omg, could it be?! It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s a COACH bag. SLC never beating that rap they get trends late.”
Fan account Queens of Bravo shared Barlow’s comment about the brand next to Newport’s IG story on X (formerly Twitter).
Coach’s official account even got into the mix, replying, “Oh!”
According to Newport, sitting in coach was the only option.
“There’s only so many things I can control, [not] how many seats in first class there are and how many have been bought before I go to purchase tickets,” she noted in a separate clip.
“I mean, there’s so many things I could say,” Newport added. “I took Lisa on a plane. I had a gift for her. I had a gift for her husband. We had a house. I took them to Indy. I had a chef.”
Barlow recounted the experience, saying she felt like a sardine.
“I felt like I couldn’t move my arms and my hands,” the mother of two said.
“I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I haven’t flown coach since college,” the Vida tequila owner added.
Though the two were close friends before Newport joined the show in Season 5, things kicked off with them bickering.
On the aforementioned getaway, Newport didn’t extend an invite to cast member Heather Gay. As such, Newport and Barlow got into a fight, as Barlow was disappointed by her decision to exclude the “Bad Mormon” author.
Things only got worse when Lisa called Heather in front of Bronwyn. “I knew where Lisa’s alliance was and where her loyalty was, but I was very shocked and very angry that she FaceTimed Heather,” Bronwyn said on the “After Show.”
“That didn’t feel like supporting Heather or feeling sorry for my friend that’s not on this trip, that felt like antagonizing me, just to make me mad. And it did!,” said Newport.
And everything escalated from there, especially when Barlow called Gay with Newport nearby.
“I knew where Lisa’s alliance was and where her loyalty was, but I was very shocked and very angry that she FaceTimed Heather,” Newport said on the “After Show.”
“That didn’t feel like supporting Heather or feeling sorry for my friend that’s not on this trip, that felt like antagonizing me, just to make me mad. And it did!”
