Monica Garcia Is Not Speaking with Her Mom Since Exposing Their ‘Volatile’ Relationship on RHOSLC (Exclusive)

The raised tones between Monica Garcia and her mother, Linda, died down.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City exclusive star told PEOPLE at BravoCon 2023 that the couple is no longer on speaking terms after an explosive fight at actress Angie Katsanevas’ Easter brunch aired on the show.

“You know, she makes it easy because she goes online and has a lot of not nice things to say and retweet,” Garcia, 40, said sarcastically. That said, she confirmed, “I’m fine right now.”

“I think my relationship with her has always been pretty volatile,” she admitted. “I don’t regret bringing her in. I think it’s something people need to see, honestly, so they don’t feel alone. My DMs have been crazy about people being like, ‘I cried watching that scene because it’s my relationship with parents’, and I think I definitely have no regrets for that reason alone.”

Garcia’s revelation came in the midst of the couple’s exposed fractured relationship in Season 4. At breakfast in particular, things got heated after Linda broke up Garcia’s argument with Katsanevas and tried to calm her daughter down.

“Don’t… do this with… me when you don’t have my back,” Garcia told her mom. “Get out of my sight.”

During last week’s episode, Garcia opened up about her troubled youth and told Heather Gay how her relationship with her mom — who likes to be called “LD” — is “so volatile” and “dates back to my whole childhood.”

“When I turned 12, my mom decided she wanted to pursue her dream, so she left me with a family in Pennsylvania and went to live in New York,” Garcia said. “My dad left me when I was 4 years old, and then my mom left me, so I have big, big abandonment issues because of that.”

Later in the episode, Garcia meets with her mother to discuss their problems, but things soon take a turn for the worse.

While Garcia scolded her mom for taking “other people’s sides” and apologizing for her to people she “just met” at breakfast, Linda told her daughter to stop being “rude” and called her “mother” when Garcia interrupted.

The dinner ended with Linda telling her daughter to “get over it” and asking when she would be forgiven. “Not today,” Garcia added, to which Linda replied, “We’re lost. I can’t fix this. I don’t have the tools. We need therapy, there’s no other way.”

In an Post from October 18 shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), Linda criticized her daughter for the way she was treated on the show.

“Monica begged me to do this reality show with her. Begged. I didn’t want to do that. She told me that all I had to do was cook and speak Portuguese. How did she return the favor? She made me dirty,” Linda wrote. “Meanwhile, I would never compete with my only child – unless it’s sports. I’m too smart to stand up to Monica, she’d chew me up and spit me out.”

She also said her daughter’s claims that she abandoned her were untrue, adding: “I always put her needs before my own, even in her adulthood. I’m not a perfect man, but I *am* a devoted mother and Vóvó. God bless us all. #RHOSLC.”
