Los Angeles, CA – Reality television can take a toll on the mental well-being of its stars, as highlighted by the recent revelations in the entertainment industry. One reality star who understands this all too well is Katie Maloney, who opened up about the psychological effects of being in the spotlight on her new podcast, Disrespectfully. Joined by her former Vanderpump Rules co-star, Dayna Kathan, Katie discussed the season 4 finale of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
The finale of the popular reality TV show showcased the exposure of Monica Garcia’s involvement in operating a troll account targeting the SLC Housewives. This revelation struck a nerve with Katie, tapping into her deepest fears as a reality star. In her own words, Katie described what happened with Monica as her “worst nightmare.” She expressed her fear and apprehension at Monica’s ability to infiltrate the friend group and the show, and criticized her for not being honest about her previous involvement with Reality Von Tease.
Katie further condemned Monica’s actions, calling them “appalling” and “gross.” She expressed her disgust at the fact that Monica not only refused to admit her involvement but also doubled down on her actions when confronted. Katie emphasized the importance of trust within a group that shares intimate details of their lives, highlighting the potential harm and damage caused by someone who cannot be trusted. She admitted to being overly cautious and not trusting people easily, always wary of their motives.
As fans of Vanderpump Rules eagerly await its return to Bravo on Tuesday, January 30th, they can catch The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City in the same time slot this week. The season’s reunion is also set to air next week, adding to the anticipation of the show’s devoted followers.
