In episode 11 of season 5 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Mary sets the stage for a dramatic confrontation when she cuts right to the chase and questions Meredith,
"Why don't we refer back to manners and etiquette? Meredith, you walking out of my house, was very rude."
Following the chaos that unfolded at her Audrey Hepburn-inspired brunch, Mary did not hold back her feelings about Meredith's sudden departure. When Britani attempted to defend Meredith, Mary swiftly shuts her down saying,
"I am not talking to you. Shut up."
The tension escalated in the episode, as Meredith claimed she felt "bullied," while Mary maintained her position that the exit was "very rude" and "very offensive."
What happened between Mary and Meredith at the brunch on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City?
What started as an elegant Audrey Hepburn-themed brunch quickly descended into chaos. Mary, seeking an escape from stress related to Robert Jr., had organized the stylish gathering. The event began innocently enough, with guests like Bronwyn and Meredith arriving in their interpretation of Hepburn's signature looks.
The peaceful facade cracked when Angie brought up unresolved issues from Palm Springs regarding a podcast controversy. The situation intensified when Meredith's comments about Shawn's sexuality came into play, leading to Angie mentioning the support she'd received from the LGBTQ+ community.
In a dramatic turn, Meredith attempted to play the podcast in question, prompting Whitney to snatch the phone from her hand. As voices raised and tensions peaked, Mary attempted to restore order by suggesting that those who wouldn't stop yelling should leave.
Meredith, however, interpreted this as a direct request to exit and departed abruptly – though not before Mary could mentally thank her for taking "them bangs with her."
The aftermath of the brunch
During their subsequent confrontation in the following episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Mary made an attempt to clarify her position. She explained that her intention wasn't to single out Meredith but rather to calm the situation by suggesting that anyone continuing to yell could leave. When asked if she found her behavior rude, Meredith responded with an unwavering "No," leading to a classic Housewives standoff.
The confrontation revealed deeper fractures within the group, with Meredith claiming she felt unwelcome and bullied, while Mary stood firm on her assessment of the situation. Even Britani's attempt to mediate was met with Mary's characteristic directness.
As the dust seems to settle on this latest drama, one thing has become clear: in the realm of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, even clip-on bangs and classic movie star themes can't prevent the eruption of long-simmering tensions.
