As if there wasn’t enough drama on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City screen, the cast has been competing with each other online, too. Ahead of the season five premiere last week, Angie Katsanevas went face to face with Meredith Marks and Lisa Barlow At the Shadows of Social Media Festival Through the Ages.
Now that things have calmed down somewhat, Angie has started talking about why she got into this social media controversy so far, and she doesn’t seem to have any regrets about getting into it.
Angie Katsanevas has no regrets.
In case you missed it, the online spat began when Meredith attacked Angie K for her past friendship with Jen Shah. Lisa got in on the conversation too, and Angie fired back. She accused Meredith of using Jen’s friendship to get air time, and suggested that a “mysterious man from Park City” was paying for Lisa’s cosmetic upgrades. It’s a big deal, but Angie told Entertainment Tonight that their social media spat isn’t as serious as it seems.
“Twitter is really petty, it’s like child’s play,” Angie explained. “What happens on Twitter has nothing to do with what happens on the show.”
According to Angie, she originally wanted the online appearance to be “light and funny.” However, when Lisa stepped in and took them to the bottom, Angie felt she had no choice but to act violently.
“People want to take it to the next level, and I responded in the heat of the moment,” she admitted.
That said, Angie explained that she didn’t lose any sleep over the situation. The next day, she woke up and got over it. She said there’s plenty of drama in season five to keep everyone busy.
“We have a lot to deal with,” Angie joked. “It’s a long season, there’s a lot going on. It’s ridiculous and petty.”
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 5 continues on Bravo, Wednesday nights at 9/8c.
Tell us – are you surprised that Angie ignored her recent social media spat? Do you think Lisa and Meredith feel the same way?
