On Tuesday morning, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Meredith Marks had enough of people talking about her appearance in the most recent episode of Bravo's Watch What Happened Live and took to Twitter to set the record straight about the swelling in her face. A highlight of the night's episode was when Andy Cohen showed Meredith a clip of her longtime frenemy Lisa Barlow bad mouthing her during the most recent episode of RHOSLC. The tirade was apparently spurred on when someone told Lisa that Meredith said her house was ugly.
Meredith and Lisa's relationship has taken a heavy turn since Meredith sat down with Andy on Watch What Happens Live back in September 2021. During her guest appearance with singer and The Real Housewives of Potomac star Candiace Dillard, Andy tried to gauge where her friendship with the Vida founder stood at that moment in time. "She views herself as loyal, but we have different definitions of loyalty...I'm not saying she's not loyal. I think she's doing the best she can within her own views," Lisa explained. While she believed that they were back on good terms this season, Lisa drug Meredith through the mud during this Sunday's episode of RHOSLC. While she presumably thought her mic was off, Lisa berated Meredith's family and marriage, and claimed that she'd slept with half of New York. When Meredith went on this week's WWHL, she revealed that she didn't even know that the tirade was going on at the time.
After hearing tons of people bringing up the swelling of her face during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live, the jeweler to the stars decided to address the situation on Twitter. Us Weekly reported that Meredith admitted to having swelling problems, stating that she's a human with imperfections like anyone else. Meredith said, "Yes my face was swollen that day. No it was not a cosmetic procedure. You can see on my insta story pic taken the next day where the swelling is down. I am human. Not every day is perfect. Sorry."
After the WWHL episode aired, Twitter was abuzz with people wondering if Meredith had gotten face fillers. Meredith made it a point to dispel any rumors of getting cosmetic work by directing fans to an Instagram Story of her with a friend in Tupelo Park City. Meredith has also opened up about her cosmetic procedures in the past. In December, she told her Instagram fans that she does get a little filler here and there, though she's never had any plastic surgery on her face.
Real Housewives stars are no stranger to fan comments, as Bravo's viewership is filled with folks who aren't shy about being vocal with their opinions. These women have had their actions on and off the show analyzed and criticized by millions of people watching each week, though a fine line is crossed too often when the conversation is directed negatively towards a star's appearance, particularly whether or not a housewife has had plastic surgery. Anyone who keeps up with Meredith on social media knows that she's not one to hold her tongue when something is bothering her.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
