Lisa Barlow Says the Osmonds Aren’t Mad After RHOSLC Diss: 'If Donny and Marie Knew Who I Was, They Would Love Me' (Exclusive)

It’s all love with Lisa Barlow!

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star spoke with PEOPLE at the 2024 Bravo Fan Fest on Nov. 23, where she opened up about a recent unexpected encounter. When asked if she was the bad side of the Osmond family after Donny and Marie’s nephew Jared became the main storyline this season RHOSLC, Barlow revealed the update.

“Oh my God, funny story,” she said. “I was at a restaurant with my girlfriends, it’s around the corner from my house, with two of my girlfriends, and we were joking, we said, ‘Jared is probably here.’ Next thing you know, a waitress comes up to us and says, ‘Jared Osmond is right there. I’d like to say hi.’”

“I can’t make it up,” she added. “We went and joked with Jared, had a good time with Jared. Then Brittany [Bateman] appeared, then Heather [Gay] appeared. It was like a party!”

Jared was featured in the reality show because he and Bateman were in an on-and-off relationship at the time, but the couple have since broken up.

Although the episodes where the women attacked Jared for his behavior towards Bateman had already aired, Barlow said the reunion was not at all awkward.

“Jared loves me,” she exclaimed. “I’m sure they’d love me too if Donny and Marie knew who I was.”

Donny recently reacted to Jared’s appearance on RHOSLC in an interview with Eh! sharing his true feelings about his portrayal.

“I understand it’s a bit risky, but to each their own,” Donny told the newspaper. “I didn’t watch, but good for him. There’s a lot of Osmonds.”

He later joked that it’s hard to keep in touch with the whole family, saying, “Let’s put it this way: When there’s a family reunion, the whole state of Utah comes together. That’s how big it is.”

Fans first learned that Donny and Jared – who is Viral Osmond’s son – are related when the women on the show learned his famous last name. In the Season 5 premiere, Gay even explained that dating Osmond “is the equivalent of dating Prince Harry in Mormon culture.”

On October 23 RHOSLC Aftershow Following the shocking scene, Britani explained where the two stood after viewers saw her bring another man to a cast party shortly after declaring they were officially boyfriend and girlfriend.

“Jared and I were on a break for about two weeks at that point, and I think Aaron was too [her date] and I was out three or four times,” she told Barlow. “Then my confidence was just in the toilet. And so I said, ‘Well, okay. I’m not the fish you want to catch? I’m not good enough for you?’ So boom. I’ll check in on social media and see what I can do. Boom. 10,000 hits on Bumble. Boom. 15,000 on Tinder. And I will choose.”

She then confirmed that she and Jared had been broken up for several months.

“I discovered that suspicious things were happening behind my back and I stopped [with him]” she said. “He was on a dating app and wouldn’t show me his phone.”
