RHOSLC Star Angie K Updates Friendship With Bronwyn Newport Amid Feud

Angie Katsanevas says her friendship with Bronwyn Newport is in a stable place as The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City enters Season 6, despite a blistering message she once wrote about Newport that sparked headlines. In the message, Katsanevas claimed Newport had \"sucked her way to the top\" and praised a controversial \"business plan\" of \"marrying a guy who has one foot in the grave and one on a banana peel\". She told Decider that Newport took the insults in stride, adding that their friendship has held steady through the season that premiered on Bravo last week.

In a Decider interview tied to the new episodes, Katsanevas described Newport as a \"good sport\" about the string of sharp remarks, noting that the cast tends to move on quickly. She said, \"One minute you can tell someone that they\'re sucking their way to the top and bring up banana peels and hot dogs, and the next day you can be texting them and saying, \'Happy birthday. Hope you\'re doing well. How\'s New York Fashion Week?\'\" The sentiment reflects a broader pattern the cast has embraced in recent seasons: airing conflicts, then returning to camaraderie off-camera. The pair reportedly maintained cordial communication, including calls and text exchanges, after those confrontations.

For Katsanevas, the friendship with Newport sits alongside a more strained dynamic with Lisa Barlow. She told Decider that she has not \"really spoken to\" Barlow amid ongoing tensions tied to business collaborations and public shading between the two. \"It\'s not about who does it first. It\'s about who does it better,\" Katsanevas said, underscoring a competitive undercurrent in the group. While she offered a guarded defense of her own tequila venture, she said she hoped for a positive outcome for Barlow as well, stressing that she does not want to engage in "Twitter wars this year.\"

The interview also touched on a moment at a picnic table in which Katsanevas compared Lisa to Jen Shah, a point she acknowledged was ill-advised. \"In real time, I said it wasn\'t the greatest analogy and it probably wasn\'t the best choice of words.\" She apologized for the phrasing, adding that she \"went home and thought, \'Why did I say that? I said it and I need to take responsibility.\'\" The remark was seen by some viewers as a reflection of familiar dynamics within the friend group, though Katsanevas emphasized that she does not want to replicate past conflicts.

Beyond the ripples with longtime friends, Katsanevas spoke about Mary Cosby, noting that she has offered support as Cosby deals with personal issues at home. She said Cosby had shared information with her prior to it becoming public, and that privacy is important for Cosby and her family. In the interview, Katsanevas described herself as choosing space for Cosby while she focuses on her own life and business. She added that, as friendships evolve, honesty becomes a more central value, even when it causes friction.

The Season 6 arc includes a Greece cast trip, which Katsanevas teased as capturing the essence of the destination while balancing the show\'s familiar mix of scenery, culture and drama. She described the Greece moments as \"quintessential Greece,\" noting scenes of food, culture and the people that viewers may recognize from trips they\'ve taken or dream about. The trip, she suggested, helped the women drop their guards and reconnect, even as occasional disagreements reemerged.

The broader reception to The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has continued to draw attention beyond the Bravo audience. Comedian John Oliver recently praised the show and suggested that Jen Shah might return after her prison term, a conversation Katsanevas would likely observe with interest given the franchise\'s history of pivoting around former members. For Katsanevas personally, the focus remains on showing up to work and doing her job, a stance she described as essential in an industry that rewards persistence and progression.

In addition to her ongoing work on RHOSLC, Katsanevas said she looks forward to appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Demi Lovato, a pairing she called a special opportunity given her track record of strong guest appearances. She said her family, including her husband and daughter, is excited for those moments and for the continued exposure that comes with the show\'s rise in popularity.

As Season 6 unfolds, fans can expect more of the cast\'s characteristic blend of candid conversation, personal vulnerability and dramatic confrontation, all filtered through the lens of a season that Bravo has positioned as a turning point for Angie Katsanevas and the rest of the Salt Lake City circle. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo, with new episodes streaming the next day on Peacock."
