The feud between Meredith Marks and Whitney Rose continues on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Before Season 5 began, Meredith spoke about her issues with Whitney.
In an interview with Us Weekly, she said, “It may have been her truth, but I don’t think it is actually the truth.”
The tension between the two Housewives escalated over a surprising topic – bath bombs. In a season preview, Meredith confronts Whitney about her new bath collection. “You did jewelry last year and launched a bath this year after I said I was doing it.
What is your problem with me?” she asked, visibly frustrated. Whitney, however, didn’t see the issue, responding, “I have no problem with you. I think that you’re reading way too much into this.”
But Whitney Rose’s confessional hit a lot harder, leaving fans buzzing. “I am genuinely concerned that Meredith is spending too much time in the bathtub because I think everything is starting to shrivel up and prune—including her brain,” she quipped. This insult added more fuel to their simmering rivalry.

RHOSLC: Will Bath Bomb Feud Explode Into Something Bigger?
Meredith Marks isn’t ready to let go of her suspicions toward Whitney Rose. Reflecting on their relationship, she said, “Whitney and I, I feel like butt heads every year. We just don’t see life from the same standpoint.”
As the two Housewives continue to clash, it’s clear that what started as a playful argument over bath products is rooted in deeper issues.
The teaser clip shows Meredith’s frustration as she confronts Whitney. It suggests that her co-star doesn’t value their friendship. “The message I’m getting from you is ‘I don’t want to be your friend,’” Meredith said, while Whitney insisted that wasn’t true.
Despite Whitney’s protests, Meredith hinted that their troubled history speaks louder than words.
Meredith’s remarks hint at a tension between the two. It’s a pattern. But, only time will tell if this bath bomb drama will grow. As Meredith said, “It boils down to us just not seeing life the same way.”
RHOSLC: Meredith Takes the High Road (But Does She?)
Despite Whitney Rose’s harsh words, Meredith Marks is determined to stay above the fray – or at least appear to be.
After watching the trailer, she remarked, “I don’t need to bash Whitney. We just don’t agree on certain things.” However, the high road didn’t stop Meredith from raising some eyebrows.
In the Season 5 trailer, Meredith talks to Lisa Barlow. She then says, “And I’m sure she can hear me now,” referring to Whitney eavesdropping.

In the clip, Whitney is shown pressing her ear against the door, clearly listening in. Meredith later admitted that she thought the scene was edited, but confirmed it was real, saying, “I was like, ‘That is hysterical.’ I called to ask because it is just a teaser. Really, that really happened.”
Though Meredith claims to be moving on, her sharp comments and suspicions of Whitney suggest the drama isn’t over.
Fans can expect more fireworks as Season 5 unfolds, with Meredith and Whitney’s ongoing tension taking center stage. Will they ever be able to see eye to eye? Or will their friendship continue to shrivel like the bath bombs that started it all?
