Is Lisa Barlow leaving RHOSLC? She hasn't made an official announcement yet, but rumors are swirling around social media about Baby Gorgeous potentially making her exit after 5 seasons on the show due to a pay disagreement -- or is she?
While some RHOSLC fans are convinced that she's making her departure from the series because Bravo won't pay up, other fans are remaining hopeful because she and her husband, John Barlow, were spotted in front of Bravo's cameras on March 11.
Here's everything we know about the rumors that Lisa Barlow has left The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, including why people think she's gone and why it seems like the rumors might be false.
Lisa Barlow seems to have skipped an RHOSLC cast trip
Only a couple days before Tamra Judge seemingly said goodbye to RHOC while in the middle of filming a cast trip, fans noticed that Lisa Barlow was missing from the RHOSLC cast trip that was being filmed at a hot springs in Utah.
Social media posts showed Mary, Angie, Whitney, Heather, Meredith, and new snowflake holder Bronwyn at the Saratoga Springs hot spring -- but there was one snowflake holder whose absense was hard to ignore.

According to the rumors spreading amidst Real Housewives fans on social media, Lisa Barlow and Bravo are having trouble coming to an agreement on her contract. The claim is that The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast's original contracts were for five seasons, so they're up for re-negotiation ahead of the sixth season and Lisa Barlow is allegedly asking for a million dollars to come back for season 6.
While this rumor isn't confirmed, it would explain why Lisa Barlow was absent from filming the cast trip and the rumor that she's asking for more money than Bravo is willing to give up really took hold among fans of the series throughout the end of the weekend and beginning of the week in early March.
It seems like Lisa Barlow might not be leaving RHOSLC after all
The rumors that she had departed the show started really heating up when a fan noticed that Lisa Barlow had allegedly removed RHOSLC from her bio on Instagram, but another fan was quick to point out that it wasn't part of her bio prior to these rumors starting. While some fans claimed she had it there through season 5, no one was able to share proof that she had put it in her bio and since taken it out, so most fans seemed to accept that it being missing wasn't actually a big deal.
Luckily for fans that were encouraging Bravo to just pay Lisa her million if that's why she skipped the trip and was leaving the show, a Real Housewives fan on X (formerly Twitter) shared a photo that showed Lisa Barlow and her husband, John Barlow, being filmed in Salt Lake City.

Whether the fact that Lisa Barlow was spotted filming means that she and Bravo came to a deal on her contract or that the social media speculation was totally over blown is yet to be seen. It's possible that when season 6 of RHOSLC airs, Lisa Barlow will have an explanation for why she skipped the cast hot springs trip and all this speculation will be moot.
