Both Whitney Rose of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and Hulu’s Whitney Leavitt The Secret Lives of Mormon Women they went against Mormon women grain by cutting beans.
Coincidence? Maybe not, says Rose.
During a recent interview with PEOPLE, RHOSLC star shared her reaction to Leavitt following in her footsteps. “If you think back to the first season, I had my natural hair in a bob,” she said. “I’ve always had blonde hair, so I’m claiming Whitney stole my look.”
As for the theory that their hairstyles have anything to do with calling out reality TV villains, Rose said: “I think it’s just because we want to stand out. We don’t want to be like everyone else. If that makes me a villain, then I guess I’m a villain.” “I don’t want to look like all the other women around me,” she continued. “I want to be me.”

Rose also explained that she doesn’t see herself as the villain of this season, which began in September, but accepts that title.

“I don’t know how people sleep on them or wash their hair,” she added. I just want to touch my scalp!”

Regarding her negative editing, Leavitt said, “I mean, yeah, I didn’t like what I was watching either. There was so much going on in my personal life. So when the show came out, I thought it was so funny that they labeled as a villain, so I made fun of that, but I don’t think I’m a villain.”
