Bronwyn Newport has become a focal point for viewers of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City . Known for her unique approach as a friend she has created some notable discussions among the other housewives, most of which centers around her character and private life.
Conflict With Lisa Barlow
One of the central themes on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City series centered around the way she dealt with a major part of her life concerning her daughter's father. The focus came when Bronwyn confided with Lisa Barlow about her daughter, Gwen's biological father and Barlow having a prior connection with the paternal side of Gwen's family. Her feelings over this have spilled over to many in the group making for a very tense conversation at the show's reunion .
Misinformation and Hurt Feelings
After sharing a very emotional and personal detail Lisa allegedly spread misinformation by repeating things that were shared by Gwen's paternal family that could be hurtful and untruthful. Bronwyn took this very personally as it created false assumptions as her daughter's father's parents believed she had a miscarriage when she was pregnant.
Broken Trust
Bronwyn’s feelings during this time also caused a rift in her friendship with Lisa and showed that her intent to reveal this had unintended consequences. She feels as though she did all the things necessary to protect her and her daughter’s privacy. That has shown a great depth of distrust that formed as events progressed. She made sure to keep this secret as much as possible so it does not hurt any relationships she is invested in.
Bronwyn's Perspective
Bronwyn feels like Lisa’s responses seemed like she was taking the side of Gwen's family instead of the friendship she felt was made between the two women. This perspective shows the core foundation of mistrust that began at that specific point in time.
Lack of Remorse and Understanding
Bronwyn states Lisa should not have talked about that detail after receiving information that she had been very cautious to keep out of the press and also her interactions with her cast mates. In the end Bronwyn notes that she believes Lisa only defends herself while having little to no genuine remorse which makes all of this all that much more troubling.
Defensiveness From Lisa
Lisa maintained she had never accused Bronwyn of lying and claims the stories were taken from her after conversations with multiple individuals involved and her perspective of how this event had transpired from all sides. Though upset from accusations thrown against her she remained firm in believing in the stories she heard from sources while refusing to apologize or empathize with Bronwyn's feelings.
Fractured Friendships and Future Reconciliation
By the end of the season finale it showed that many relationships within the cast were up in the air with varying degrees of connection still there.
Uncertainty About the Future With Lisa
Bronwyn believes there needs to be changes with Lisa’s concern for self over everyone else in the group for all the cast members to move forward with each other. She states she loves her as a friend but Lisa has not shown actions to mirror that bond. She highlights the importance of friendship needing to be two sided for progress with a fair partnership that makes all parties comfortable.
Hopes of Growth With Others
Even though all friendships are on the line there is optimism about her possible relationships to move forward with. She does want to grow more with both Meredith and Heather but at a basic understanding it must come through honest dialogue which must go two ways. As long as others are able to act and accept some level of responsibility they have to remain open to these new pathways.
The Impact of RHOSLC
The dynamics within this show and especially at reunions is considered a continuation of conflicts instead of just simple recaps from each of the shows major talking points. Viewers enjoy watching what transpires when there are people with opposing opinions sharing space together as all types of truths come out in each session.

With these reunions all of the cast is asked to be transparent. Often these conversations end up with new points being exposed adding another layers to the complex narratives being built around each of the women. For this group particularly these have added another area of doubt and questions that come into focus from actions both on and off screen.
