The finale of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City totally embodied the chaos and drama that fans of the series have grown to love. Heather Gay suggested that the group play a "game" together in which they each shared the meanest thing they had texted about each other -- and have the subject of rthe mean text read the message aloud to the group -- and it brought out some seriously petty drama.
Bronwyn deserves her snowflake renewed simply for being able to read this text out loud and not throw herself into that lake afterwards #RHOSLC pic.twitter.com/LDc14Rbzmg

But, while text messages about some snowflake holders like Bronwyn Newport and Heather Gay were read aloud at the table during the episode, there was one text message that was cut from the episode. Viewers were left wondering what Lisa Barlow had said about her co-star Meredith Marks when the text was cut out of the episode.
Luckily, it was revealed on the extended cut when the episode was added to the streaming service Peacock.
What did Lisa Barlow's text about Meredith Marks say?
According to Lisa Barlow, her mean text about fellow snowflake holder Meredith Marks had been sent the year prior to filming their game when the two of them were having a particularly rough patch in their friendship.
Meredith Marks then read the text about her which said: "I feel like Meredith digs up information to weaponize it. It's f---ing dirty and I don't like it."
In a confessional after Meredith read the text that Lisa had sent about her, Lisa defended herself by saying she was venting about the fact that meredith had been accused multiple times over the past few years of digging for information on people and then sharing it under the guise of innocently "trying to get it out there."
While tears were flowing about some of the mean texts that were shared about each other, Meredith Marks understood the text from her co-star and accepted the fact that Lisa Barlow had been speaking about her that way behind her back.
After reading the text, Meredith Marks was understanding because of the fact that the two of them haven't been in the best place in their friendship. In response to the message, Meredith said, "Given where we were last year, I'm not super surprised."
Was that really the meanest text Lisa Barlow has sent?
The text messages shared during Heather Gay's game ranged from mild -- like Lisa's text about Meredith or Britani refusing to invite Mary over -- to totally harsh in the case of some texts like Angie K.'s about newcomer Brownyn Newport.
Considering the fact that Angie said that Todd, Bronwyn's husband, "has one foot in the grave and one on a banana peel," it's likely not a surprise that she called out the fact that she didn't believe Lisa's text message about Meredith was really the meanest thing she had ever said about someone.
Angie Katsanevas questioned the text message Lisa Barlow shared by asking, "Does she expect us to say this is the worst thing she's said about Meredith? She called her a garbage w---e two years ago. Come on, Lisa. What is really in your phone?"
